Hello all, I'm working on a new mod for Quake--actually I hope it will be taken as a new foundational version so to speak. First, the mod has the up and down slopes, like in Kara's mod. It also will come with some new wall scraping, warning and touch sounds. I need to know how to make the wall scrape sound come from the direction of the scrape. I assigned it to self.owner instead of self, but I got the haven't assign sound to client message. I've only been doing this for about three days, so please forgive if this should be obvious. Also, I'd like to have the snap mod as in Kara's game so I can use the mouse and be able to snap back to the normal directions easily. I've actually gotten pretty good with the mouse and, with the flick of the wrist, can turn 180 degrees although I also have bound the 180 degree turn to the enter key, but that snap to cardinal degrees would be great. Also, as I mentioned ages ago, (before my brother broke my last computer,) I bound the shift key to a +KeyChanger alias which, amongst other things, centers the view when shooting and makes mouse2 back you up instead of moving you forward. I'll be putting that file in with the mod. I would also eventually like to change the way the detection sounds are played--playing them consecutively or randomly within a given time instead of having their times start all at once. That way, if you're touching two walls, you can hear exactly where they are. Already, with this mod in place as it is so far, I zoomed through castle of the damned in less than five minutes--without hitting the secret areas, but that's still excellent for me since I usually get lost and wander through it for hours without getting anywhere. I don't intend anything complex here--just some simple mods to make vanilla quake more accessible--though I think a capture the flag game is in order if I can learn Quake C. Thanks in advance for the help. Ken Downey DreamTechInteractive
