Do not auto pick up health.

Only noobs need/use health packs.

What... just sayin...

Only a TRUE CAx'er would make that statement lol

it was a five minute mod.
should have been a 30 second mod, but whatever.

I don't think a request this simple warrants learning quakeC, so here you go.

source included so anyone can go in and do a better job if they so desire,
though anyone with the requisite skills would hardly need to see the source lol.

Does such a mod exist? Having 99 health and running over a 25 pack is pretty gay.

This is two sided. On one hand, you might be wasting the health if u need to backtrack to complete a goal, on the other hand playing multiplayer you might wanna steal health from others.

One could modify the source to add 1 health to the player per second, when standing on the health pack. Or, give you just up to max health of that pack, or max health of the player. Anything is possible it's just up to how bad you wanna change the game or your gameplay.

Which engine are you using?

I would do something as trivial as "Small Health Pickups Respawn" , DONE. Negating the problem of DUR-D-DUR I have 99health "and I gotta get past this spot without touching the fn HEALTH!?!?! Noooooooooooooooooooooo"

I've seen some custom maps with far too few health boxes (part of the challenge I guess) and you have to super-conserve health.

That being said, every original Quake map has so much health and ammo sitting around it is absurd.

I like your word "some"
For me, many of the custom maps are challenging...


But I have heard that the chinese people are developing a self-refilling heath box:



Or use an extra big storage box for all the unneeded health boxes you collected along the way:

The game gets too easy i think. Kinda changes the old-school gameplay. But that's just what i think.
