just a quick mod, the idea is to encourage fast in your face action instead of attack and retreat.
the irony is that quake is already in your face.
might have better to mod a more modern game with these mechanics, but owell.
the idea was to lure you into combat by feeding you armor for doing so, rather than
rewarding hiding in a corner.
Also health is deducted for not attacking. So theres double incentive.
When I first had the idea a year or two ago, I didnt realize roe did exactly this.
Armor entities have been removed from the maps. Sort of. But health remains.

Re: frantiQ mod
I gave it a try. It does indeed motivate direct combat w/ hellknights and ogres rather than dodging long-range. I found myself trying to find a "sweet spot" that rewarded armor, but outside of melee reach.
Who/what is "roe" ?

Re: frantiQ mod
You could try maybe giving health/armor points for shots incurred on your enemy.

Re: frantiQ mod
I suppose melee range is set in qc. Knowing that it's X units, armor collection could begin at X+10 (or whatever). Or maybe it should be just barely inside melee range to keep the player moving in and out.gnounc wrote:Did you find the sweet spot?
