Rune Central

Jackhammer, I put together a site to showcase and explain your server well to other Europeans who are not familiar with your server, plus to provide an easy to remember download location.



I also think this site does a good job of showcasing the power of this mod.

The tweaks I made to Rune Quake 1.2 for your server:

1. Doing vote-arena will switch to the RockGate Map
2. Removed a prohibition against vote-match if a server isn't in 26001 Rocket Arena /26002 Practice Mode mode since you guys will be using a single server for whatever mode.
3. Added "commands" and "vote-help" to the intro screen since many of your players have never used this mod before and don't know any of the commands or even to type "commands". Also added maps download location (the above page... you'll have FTP to change it/modify it, etc. if you wish)
4. Added all 130 custom maps to the maps-auto.qc
5. Next level while in Rocket Arena mode will go to another rocket arena map instead of some other random map.
6. Removed FOV 90 from the code for Polarite and other "traditional" players. Slot gave me instructions for how to do that.
7. IP Masking in the mod. It's in it and always on.

And I think that is it. I commented by changes rather well in the QuakeC for the most part and they were all subtle ones.

I asked Lardarse and RocketGuy small QuakeC questions to make sure I did it right and it should be perfect.

Here is the source and compiled progs.dat:

Download: Jackhammer Rune Quake 1.2

To compile, unzip to a folder. Go to DOS and switch to the POQ subfolder, then type QCCX /O2 (<-- that's not a zero) and it will make a progs.dat in the parent folder. You should open up settings.qc and change the admin code from 123456 (which will not work) to a code of your own choice. I did compile it with an admin code and can private message that to you if you don't feel like messing with compiling right now.

You would then take the progs.dat and the autoexec.cfg which is in there and upload those.

LOL @ Baker
use frikqcc, it's better. just extract it in the source folder and run it in command prompt like this:
if you have any problems you know where you can contact me

Yeah, I'll need your assistance tomorrow to get this perfect.

Jackhammer private messaged me with a small issue and I have one other small idea. I'll bug you tomorrow morning

Rebuild list ...

1) Add in scratch2 ip masking
2) Make vote-match work by uncommenting code
3) Remove "8" "Bind standard keys" at JackHammer's request
4) Remove FOV 90 (for Polarite and others)
5) Make "Small" say "Rocket Arena Maps" when doing Custom
6) Settings.qc, make it say "commands" and "vote-help" in intro
7) Make Next Map -- that occurs on map timeout/fraglimit go to a "small" (small=RocketArena) map upon that, and not just any random map
8] Change download location to http://www.quakeone.com/euroquake
9) Vote-arena, when successful, automatically change to RockGate map
10) If players leave server and mode = Rocket Arena, change map to pkeg1 when resetting the settings.

FOV 90 change

Everything else seemed to work, although exit server to see if map reverts to pkeg1 wasn't tested.

yes it was...

After some more testing on Jackhammer's server, some other things the players would like:

1. vote-match doesn't disable rotating armor when voted
2. Maybe a vote-clean command or perhaps something better worked, so they can turn off runes/altweapons/rotating armor/hook with a single command.
3. Can game clock be reset when match begins instead of having 49 seconds on the clock? I don't know if this is possible in QuakeC, if not then no big deal. Even better would be it to run in reverse like CRMOD does.
4. If vote-arena from vote-practice, would be better if practice mode were off since most ppl don't want unlimited ammo when switching to Rocket Arena.

It is very nice to see how happy everyone is over there with the versatility and game modes with the server.

Terrific work guys on the getting the things altered, the server is doing well I feel in its infancy
