Hi Clement, Actually the weapons in Quake can have any kind of properties you'd like.
The reason the sniper rifle allows you to sight players so far away is that I coded it to actually change the audio threshold of your avatar so you could hear your targeting beeps further away. You might have noticed that you would only have a very small window of targeting when sighting someone at a great distance because of perspective. This is how a sighted gamer plays as well. anyway, as I said to Paul, AQ can be completely rewritten and customized because in order to work with AQ you need to use Quake C which is a quite powerful language considering it is only for quake. anyway, thanks for starting an interesting discussion!

I got pretty good with it at one point, but haven't played AQ in so long... should probably give it a go again. I just wish we had more multiplayer fps titles. I've said before that I think Swamp's base combat and weapons would translate wonderfully to a pvp game. But it's been a dream of mine to be able to enjoy something as complex and strategic as Counterstrike for a long time, which is why I wish weapons in games like AQ would have different properties other than just rate of fire and amount of shots that it can hold, etc. The remaining thing for me too... all the audio fps titles I've played require too many shots to kill an enemy. In a mainstream shooter, it's possible if you're skilled enough to pick people off with one shot or two that are well-placed. I wish there'd be some way to implement more precise aiming. Targetting headshots is something that happens in regular shooters all the time, yet there hasn't been an implementation of that in any sort of form that I'm aware of. Swamp in particular, with the whole zombie thing would probably benefit greatly from a head shot mechanic, given the fact that in most contemporary fiction zombies die the fastest when shot in the head. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara Quinn" <caraqu...@caraquinn.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2013 12:38 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of the AncientsConsiderations Hey there, thank you! I should ask though, had you ever used the sniper rifle I developed for Jedi Quake? I specifically created it so that it did three things to address all of your points. :) • it used more ammo than normal • It enabled long-range sniping • It required a delay of several seconds to fire a second shot I too, wanted very much to eliminate the whole stand in one place and hold down the control key behavior! lol! And yes, I and other players successfully and routinely tagged players from long distances and occasionally even got off a second shot too. Many of us could also dispatch them without them knowing what the heck just happened. ;) I also added an EM Pulse to Jedi Quake specifically for taking out all electronic weapons so players would need to only rely on mechanical, slower-firing weapons or weapons with limited ammo. Anyway, no worries on your opinions of the gameplay, I just want to get feedback as your point of view wasn't one I've heard in regard to AQ so far, that's all. Yes, sure, by all means write me off-list if you like. I do think this discussion would be great here though too. Thanks a bunch and talk soon!… Smiles, Cara AKA Frag Doll :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
