Title : 'Roids Mini-mod Filename : roids.zip Version : 1.1 Date : 2-5-2000 Author : Ryan "Frika C" Smith Email : frika-c@earthling.net Credits : Terry "Akuma" Goodwin for model assistance The people that made Hover, for the ship model NASA for the photos used to make the asteroid skins Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes (from complete scratch!) Sound : yes MDL : yes Level : yes Format of QuakeC (if a Quake C Mod) ----------------------------------- unified diff : no (and yes I know what that is!) context diff : no (and yes I know what that is!) .qc files : no progs.dat : yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- As an homage to many other video games, especially Star Fox, which for some reason now gives me fond memories, I present 'Roids (Make your Preperation H jokes now...) This really is a whole game in itself. You pilot a small spacecraft (powered by what looks like a diesel engine, but that's another story). You must manuever this ship through an asteroid field. The mod was written in one night, and I added the finishing touches the next day. I think it's pretty fun. Roids is a single player mod, and always will be. No ammount of begging for a multiplayer mode will work, the code simply isn't written for it. Anywho, I just wanted to mention that this is the second released mini mod in the Frika C mini-mod trinity. If you didn't play the first, Jaws, I suggest you go get it. http://www.mdqnet.net/ NOTE: If you have low RAM, or are annoyed by the music, you can rename/delete pak1.pak and the game will play without music. How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Make a subdir of your quake directory entitled "roids" and place all files in this archive, using your favorite unzip utility, in that folder. Start quake with the parameter "-game roids +map roids". Any suggestions, please mail me at frika-c@earthling.net Technical Details ----------------- Known Bugs ========== None that I know of.
