BoffMods Version 1.0 by Boffo (cadmium@interlog.com) ======================================================== This is a Quake script I've compiled over time since I began playing. Parts of it I've pulled from people's web pages (credit is given at the end of this file), and I've added a number of my own modifications. I play with a 3 button mouse, this script is basically designed for one, I've also added keyboard keys for the stuff the mouse does just in case your mouse screws up, or if you use keyboard. If you have a 2 button mouse, there's a grapple key that'll replace the middle mouse button. ======================================================== Files Included in this ZIP ======================================================== AUTOEXEC.CFG - Autoexec file BOFFMODS.CFG - Main chunk of modifications BOFFKEYS.CFG - Key assignments README.TXT - The file you're reading now ======================================================== Key Features ======================================================== Works for 2 button mouse, 3 button mouse, and keyboard Circle Strafe Autofire Grappling Hook Quick Rocketjump Primary & Secondary Weapon System Support for important Threewave CTF 3.5 keys Support for Hipnotic's Quake Add-on Anti-StoogeBOT Key ======================================================== Setup Instructions ======================================================== * WARNING * This can seriously mess up your config if you run it in your QUAKE\ID1 dir. Unless you like my config more, you should either unzip it to a separate dir and run "quake -game Boffo" (substitute Boffo for the dir you put it in), or make a backup of your autoexec.cfg and config.cfg before you try these out. ======================================================== Keys ======================================================== Movement: w - Forward s - Back a - Strafe Left d - Strafe Right r s - Moveup, Movedown - I'm aware that these keys don't seem to be needed if you point the mouse in the direction you want to go and press foward, but you move much faster with these, since you're only going in one direction as opposed to diagonally. q e - Circle Strafe left and right (taken from Bounty Hunter's config) SPACE - Jump LEFT - Turn left RIGHT - Turn right UP - Look up DOWN - Look down Attack Related: MOUSE1 - (left button) fire primary weapon MOUSE2 - (right button) fire secondary weapon MOUSE3 - (center button) fire grappling hook (let go of button to release grappling hook) v - Rocket Jump - It's not exactly an attack, but I like to use it if someone gets too close to me in a modem game. Not only do They get hit by splash damage, but I'm high enough in the air to hit them with a couple more rockets without hurting myself CTRL - Fire primary weapon INS - Fire secondary weapon ALT - Fire grappling hook (works the same as the mouse3 button) 1 - Select axe 2 - Select shotgun 3 - Select super shotgun 4 - Select nailgun 5 - Select supernailgun 6 - Select grenade launcher t - Select rocket launcher g - Select lightning gun 7 - Select laser (for Hipnotic Patch) 8 - Select Mjolnir (for Hipnotic Patch) CTF Keys: z - Throw current weapon x - Throw a backpack with ammo in it c - Throw rune (not in Threewave CTF, but I play on a number of servers that allow it) b - Flag status ; - messagemode2 - Use this to talk to teammates. It's far away from everything else on the keyboard because if you've got time to talk, you've got time to move your hand around on the keyboard. Misc Keys: SHIFT - Enables "Secondary Weapon Select" - Hold this down and press one of the weapon keys to assign it to your secondary fire button TAB - Show scores ESCAPE - Bring up quake menu + - - Increase/Decrease screen size ` - Toggle the console F10 - Quit F11 - Zoom In/Out F12 - Screenshot p - Talk. Normal message mode. Again, it's pretty far from everything else, so make sure you're in a safe place before you use it. n - Anti-StoogeBOT key (If their StoogeBOT is in it's unmodified form, it'll leave the server) Quick Message Keys: Ridicule Keys ------------- y - "You eat your whoopass with a fork or spoon?" u - "You like your whoopass shaken or stirred?" i - "Sorry, I don't eat whoopass. Gives me diarrhea." o - "YOU'VE BEEN BOFF'ED" CTF Teamwork Keys ----------------- h - "INCOMING!!!" j - "NEED HELP AT BASE! QUICK!" k - "GOT FLAG, IS BASE CLEAR?" l - "BASE SECURE" ======================================================== Tips / Comments ======================================================== Secondary Weapon System: The secondary weapon system is one of the most amazing features of this script. Although it may be annoying at first to learn how to use, you'll find it to be a very handy tool when you become proficient at using it properly. It is a good idea to assign a weapon that you're about to pick up to your primary/secondary fire button. Have you ever had an attack completely messed up because you've picked up a weapon along the way and Quake automatically switched you to it? It won't happen any more. In order to use the weapon you pick up, you have to assign it to primary or secondary fire first. Otherwise, you can't use it. Autofire Grapple: This is what got Boffmods started. I was sick of switching to grapple all the time, and it was screwing me up quite a bit. The autofire grapple originally was a toggle on/off thing, but there were some problems with attack staying on when you switched to another weapon. You now have to hold down the grapple button for as long as you want to stay grappled. If you're using mouse, this is no problem, but doing so with keyboard might be a hassle. Circle Strafe: This is a handy tool. When used with forward, you'll circle around your target, while staying aimed at it the whole time. You can also use it to do "paranoid corners", do this by pressing circle strafe just before you round the corner. Rocket Jump: I apoligize for not having a lagged version of this in this release. It's useful in modem games, but unless you're on a T1, you won't be able to use this at all. ======================================================== Credits / Copyrights / Permissions ======================================================== Quake is a registered TM and Copyright © of id Software. It kicks ass. Scourge of Armagon is a registered TM and Copyright © of Hipnotic Interactive Inc. It also kicks ass. ======================================================== Legal Crap ======================================================== I am not responsible for anything that happens to your computer when using this script. If you mess up your config files, tough. I warned you up at the top of this file. If you didn't read this file, that's too bad. It's called README. You should learn to follow directions. ======================================================== Special Thanks ======================================================== Clan Squall Iceman - for bearing with me with the bugs of earlier versions of this script Q Tick - for inspiring my secondary weapon system Bounty Hunter - You might have noticed that some of the keys are similar to Bounty Hunter's CFG (you can find it on the Xenocide Flag Academy). This is because when I first started using the mouse, I downloaded his script. Boffmods are modifications/improvements to the basic key layout in his script. The circle strafe is from his script. Dalias - the rocketjump modification is his, I'll take credit for it when I invent a lagged version Blue - I got Dalias's rocketjump mod from his site ======================================================== Final Note ======================================================== I hope you enjoy using my script. A fair chunk of work went into it, and I'm making it public because it's got some really nice features that no other scripts have (at least I haven't found any that have them...)
