I would like to try the qonquer mod with the weapons from this mod. It could be fun. 

New game mode there. We've got alot of SP maps to slay though - as well as the DM demo coming up.

Nice idea, shelved for now - but not discarded. 

I could work that mod into the RMQ code base when the time comes if you want. I don't think it would be that much work - a few new entities, really. 

The SP maps are the more grueling task, so it's nice to work on smaller stuff in-between - Qonquer maps fit that profile well. 

Is remakequake going to feature new weapons?

Sure. I can make small arena maps for a Qonquer type mode without a time issue. Hook me up. :) Remember, I'm a Mac guy so if this will be a Windows only affair, I might not be able to help. 

Windows / Linux, so there shouldn't be any problems. 

Are a possibility but not planned as yet.

Stealing Enforcer weapons is a maybe.

There is a grappling hook, based off the wicked hook - rope style physics as opposed to ignore gravity pulling.

Didn't NSOE already kind of has this? Also, I feel that the remake Quake Chainsaw isn't as good as the one in Zer.

Is something like a railgun possible in Quake I? 

YEA!!!

btw i need a kick up the arse 

just port a model already pls :D

The pickup model is WIP, the gameplay is yet to be finalized (although it's very close to final). But the thematical direction is there - a weapon from the other side of the slipgate. Might become a monster weapon, too.

And that's the new DM7RQ in the background, by ijed. 

This looks more like a... gross! 

 

A more traditional railgun could still be from the other side of the slipgate without looking like a severed member ;)

Going to lay off the lunchtime q3 next week and get the new version in. 

That's an under lit brick wall in the background ijed... ;p 

although it certainly could use more polish, the idea is clearly shown even with such a rough model. Flesh combined with steel. I like it! 

Should it need much hard coding to get the circulair ammu spread? 

 

particle effect would be nice, but very hard to to, AFAIK.

And since it's now the Cauteriser as opposed to the Railgun we'll need to look for something else. Currently it's a straight line with red electrical effect and white particles. 

Piercing hitscan is not hard. The part that makes adding a Quake1 railgun problematic are the visual effects, at least if one wants the corkscrew trail as seen in Quake2. The corkscrew can be done, but I found it to be a particle hog, similar to the lavasplash effect.

Another problem with the railgun in Quake is against monsters. Unless enough monsters are modified to be a threat from long range, or ammo is very rare, a railgun with power comparable to the rocket launcher will destroy monsters before they become a threat to the player. 

And since it's now the Cauteriser

I guess I wasted my time blurring the name out, then... 

Like the lightning model
