Title: Duel Weapons? Post by: Nambi on July 30, 2009, 11:05:58 AM It would be pretty dang awesome to have two plasma guns.
Title: Re: Duel Weapons? Post by: Neon_Knight on July 30, 2009, 11:10:12 AM That's an idea for a mod rather than for the main game IMHO.
EDIT: In fact, IMHO all the gameplay change ideas (weapon damage changing, rule changing, etc) should be turned onto mods instead of being in the main game. Title: Re: Duel Weapons? Post by: fromhell on July 30, 2009, 11:16:43 PM There's an old Q3 mod called Akimbo that lets you do that. You can try how that goes ingame and tell me how much novelty is worn out. :)
Title: Re: Duel Weapons? Post by: Marble of Doom on July 31, 2009, 02:15:02 PM Just tried Akimbo, just froze OA. The error log was 2.5mbs and 16,441 lines of "RE_RegisterFont: FreeType code not available."
Title: Re: Duel Weapons? Post by: Gig on April 19, 2010, 02:49:57 AM I have tried Akimbo (simple but good mod, everyone should try it) on two PCs. Both of them have Windows XP and OpenArena 0.8.5.
In the first, I copied the Akimbo subfolder from my Quake 3 Arena directory to the OpenArena folder. The mod worked perfectly. I have to check the version of the mod. --> UPDATE: I had Akimbo Version 1.2. In the second, I downloaded the mod from the internet (here (http://www.filefront.com/13622/Akimbo/)), and unzipped it to the folder of OpenArena. But when starting the mod, the screen turns brown-orange! It does not work at all. "Readme" file says Akimbo is version 1.0. Strange thing... on one computer okay, on the other one, nothing to to...

It is the version of Akimbo. v1.0 does not work with OpenArena, but v1.2 works. And it is great!
You can download q3akimbo12.zip (http://www.superkeff.net/mods/mods/akimbo/q3akimbo12.zip) from this page (http://www.superkeff.net/mods.html) (full of stuff for Q3A! Many mods, maps and models!)

Quad Rockets! Title: Re: Duel Weapons? Post by: Gig on April 19, 2010, 03:12:47 PM I think there is an error in the name of this thread. I think it should be "dual weapons", not "duel weapons"...

But when starting the mod, the screen turns brown-orange! It does not work at all. "Readme" file says Akimbo is version 1.0. This is because when Q3 had a interface and protocol change in 1.27 it broke compatbility with everything before it. You won't get any pre-1.27 mod working in OA, ever. This is by design. Yes I wish there was actual compatibility myself. |
