i was bored and screwed around with the 3wave ctf code to put in some annoying features just for shits and giggles.

- a 'u cant touch this' excerpt plays on intermission (darkplaces only)
- "kill lines" which there are only two for now...basically you let loose a quip when you kill someone
- death sounds aren't global (I HATE THAT)
- all weapons are changed cept rl and lg and axe
- netquake only. i hate qw code
- new player sounds, capture sounds etc lol
blah im tired im sorry....... lol don't take this seriously

Global death sounds can help you. Like if you hear your teammate getting slaughtered in the next room, you know that it is time to RUN YOUR ASS OFF!!

what about with the new sounds though

because if that was global, the f10 and y key would be pressed.

- death sounds aren't global (I HATE THAT)

yes this is something that i have changed in my mods.
Truely a lack of understanding of strategy in id's part, as for multi-player games.
To hear "ack, ugh.. ARRg" is a notion to read the console.
Though i still emmit the obit, the sound is suppressed. And 99% of the players REALY dont even notice the difference! But the scores do! So im with you cheaps there, good work

Monster: What he means by NON global, well atleast for my mods, it's not TOTALLY suppressed, it emiits as a normal pain sound. If you "HEAR" a frag-sound or person dying you can hear the direction. Global sounds are all over. So you dont know where, just when. But to have it normal, then you can her the direction if you are close enough. This does help the player, around a corner, guarding flag or just camping the nearest powerup..

because if that was global, the f10 and y key would be pressed.

Oh, that sucks. Yeah you really need to turn them off then. It could confuse players.

here's my changelog for my ctf mod

+ Added: Proquake's pqc_ values to pass matchtime and teamscores from CRCTF to a proquake's Client.
This properly shows to all clients the true pq_timer values especially to clients
who connect after the match has started. Also updates the pq_teamscores properly.

+ fixed: Automatic request to unpause the match when it is not paused.

+ Changed: In classic mode, apon connecting you are automatically put on a team.

+ fixed: Players connecting during intermission didnt get aliases bound properly.

+ fixed: If player lost flag in prematch, the statusbar still showed flag icon.

+ modified: REGEN & MEGAHEALTH CHANGE
Megahealth respawns normally 20 seconds after the player's health drops back down to 100 or less.
Regen will prolong this respawn time to the extent that megahealth is no longer effective, for gameplay.
So, if a player with regen gets megahealth, and their health hasn't dropped below 100 for over 105 seconds,
(same as 5 second pause + 100 health points [default time]), then it respawns 20 seconds afterwards.
Logically, if a player took megahealth without regen and just stood there without getting shot,
it would take 105 seconds for megahealth to wear off.

+ fixed: Proper handling of doors, plats, and trains during match paused, and unpausing.

+ changed: Sethook now is used to control the pullspeed of the hook: slow (800), fast (1000 default), or
diasble the hook all together.

+ changed: Death sounds are no longer GLOBAL, instead when a player dies, its only heard, in proximity.
This is good in a few ways.
1.) Easier on the ears while playing
2.) You dont actually know when your teammates dies, unless you read the obits
3.) If someone dies nearby, you now can hear in what direction,
ie. you heard death, read obit, know who/where death occured...

+ added: Flags are reset at the t-minus 10 countdown in match mode, and cannot be touched until match start.

+ fixed: Reduced occurance of respawning at the origin of death.

+ fixed: allow players to connect during an intermission.

+ added: display message to show proquake versions of a client on connection.
(unknown, if using pre 2.0 or NON proquake if using anything else)

+ added: flags to .ent files

+ fixed: damage momentum from blast radius

+ fixed: Observers cannot change to team colors while a match is in progress, *if* the match is LOCKED.
This deters "coaching" by using mm2 and chasecam to talk to players.

+ fixed: Bug where prematch flag runs, would allow a player to type NOTREADY while holding the flag,
and then change teams. Thus, the player still had the flag, even in observer mode. After match
start, flag would fall on map and not respawn at base.

+ fixed: AUTOCHASE's "DEADCAM" SHAKE bug.

+ added command to toggle auto teammate identifier, AUTOID
Identifies when crosshair passes over teammate: [name][health/armor]

+ disabled exploit that allowed observers to toss items while eyecamming/chasecamming (OOPS!)

+ no weapon dropping during paused match

+ fixed autochase bug (from 3.19j)

+ added bancode

+ fixed flags during match pause.

+ hook and runes are paused properly.

+ if match is aborted the timelimit is reset to the value the match started at.

+ fixed (.frags) assignment to world entity bug
server crash when someone connected at the same time a team had captured the flag.

+ Fixed Observer's "up by" score.
was not accounting for CTF score only kill frags.

+ If a flag falls on a trigger_hurt, it automatically returns to base.(requested)
+ ignored levels.cfg in match mode (quicker map loads)

+ Fixed flaw in vote disable rune code.
Rune entites were not removed only "disabled" (ie. no model, no touch, no respawn)
When the vote to re-enable runes while on same map, it would create NEW entities.
Now, disabled runes are truely removed.

+ Fixed Platfroms during paused match.

+ Fixed AutoStats to log files. Use cfg command AUTOSTATSON
All death messages are logged.
CTF announcements are logged.

+ Observers cannot initiate votes during match.

+ Player's cannot suicide during a paused match.

+ Flags and runes are truely paused during match pause

+ Anticrossdressing code implemented. CUSTOM SHIRT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE!
Though, you cannot xdress! This means, YES you can have (color 0, 14), or
(color 5, 4) ETC... But NOT color (2, 4) OR (13, 4) OR (4 , 13)...

+ Increased delay before hook returns after player lets off fire button if
hook has not touched anything. (was 0.3 seconds, now its 1/2 a second)

+ No damage during paused matches.

+ Flag Carrier has primary time slice for AutoCam.

+ Voter's name added to vote request message, also to yes/no votes.

+ Added the centerprint StatusBar from P.baker's crctf 2.8.

+ Hook damage normalized for all ticrates.
At lower ticrate values, ie (0.05) damage encured was updated faster.

+ Added DYNAMICHOOKON and DYNAMICHOOKOFF commands.
Dynamic hook simulates the hook physics of 0.1 ticrate for all ticrates,
off = ticrate determines hook physics (DEFAULT).

+ Fixed hooking in windtunnels, works at all ticrates.

+ Support for fraglimit in matchmode.

+ Added console commands RUNESON and RUNESOFF for crctf.cfg.

+ added offhand hook for classic mode (only).
bind a key to +hook (impulse 97/9.

of the hook, after first fire. Thereafter, made the hook's pull "saggy".

The look and rules are the same as a Classic ThreeWave 3.0 server,
with all the features CR brings.

Improved check team code. Players are put on the team with fewer
members or if the team count is the same, they are put on the
losing team.
+ When a flagcarrier disconnect/lagsout the flag drops at that origin to the

[CheapAlert]

actually changing ATTN_NONE to ATTN_NORM for death sounds are always my first step to do in modding in this decade.

It's annyoing especially in darkplaces, as that has ATTN_NONE sounds position itself forcely to mono (no stereo seperation at all)
