Vhold's Weapons & MORE

🇮🇪

Vhold's Weapons & MORE is a modification for Quake made by Vhold. It includes all components of the earlier Homing Missiles (v.001) release along with a few additional features.

Instead of modifying a Weapon like the older modification, this version features an alternate fire button that can be activated at any time by hitting impulse 20. Note that this mode does not alert Monsters like the normal attack mode would unless they get hit by a projectile. Backpack tossing has been moved to Impulse 21.

In addition to the original homing Rocket Launcher, there is now a proximity grenade mode for the Grenade Launcher. The main difference between the two modes is that the alternate only explodes upon contact with an opponent. Note that this means it will take more shots to kill an opponent than the normal mode, since it relies entirely on Splash Damage. There is also no bouncing sound for the proximity grenade. Impulse 22 can be used at any time to immediately explode either type of Grenade Launcher projectile, this feature was taken from a similar mechanic in the v.005 release of Homing Missiles. Both alternate modes cost 5 Rockets.

There is also an extremely powerful alternate mode for the Thunderbolt known as THOR. Players that fire this will display a message stating that said Weapon was unleashed. This mode fires 3 homing rockets at a single time that are "guided" by a stream of lightning. Note that the lightning does not do any damage, the damage is caused by the homing missiles, which behave like the alternate mode for the Rocket Launcher. This mode costs 20 Rockets and 50 Cells per use.

This modification also included a further alteration of the Crucified Zombie code so that they would remain in Deathmatch.
