Small Mod compilation

[Seven]

Thank you Henry for the heads up.
The "custom HUD" folder was completely missing in the SMC v5.30 .rar download.
I do not know how that happened... Must have slipped through my fingers during packing.

Uploaded it again now. Double checked that all extras are included this time.
You will recognize the correct .rar file by its file name. It has '20150822' at the end.

Best Regards,
Seven

great to see you did finish and release this new version we've all been eagerly waiting for

i've especially been eager to meet the reiver myself

and the hud changes is something i know im going to love.


other monsters like the theneb and yakman ive also been looking forward to as well.
especially the yakman, which will make a fantastic optional random replacement for shambler

Dear all,

Many people asked for it and I promised to make this (huge) final update, so I stand to my word and deliver.

This is most probably the final version of the "small mod compilation" and adds a lot of nice features and bugfixes to make it complete.
On top of it I unleashed some additional monsters who are ready to kill careless players in Quake.
We now have approx. doubled the monster types compared to original Quake. ( Yay ! )

I would like to point out the Reiver, he is a highly anticipated monster and I am sure that he will satisfy your expectations. He is not meant for the faint hearted player and will give you sleepless nights and thrills... You have been warned His wide range of attack and defend abilities as well as his special powers are without a doubt unique in Quake. You will find some new and interesting code technique features. It was fun and a honor to work on the Reiver.

OH MAN! This is news to me...and I haven't been here in a while.

Well, I knew this was coming, I just thought it would hit earlier. Not really sure what to say what hasn't been said, except that I hope the mods forum doesn't die since you were the only one doing anything consistently around here : P. No offense to anyone else though.

Well, no worries. I feel like this is the right time to say: don't be sad it's over. Be glad it happened.

Anywho, may you live long and prosper! Maybe we will meet one day as old men in a pub in Berlin and talk about how everything used to be better back in the day. I don't know why I'm saying this. Have a nice life!
