Commenting the news: May 1, 2010 - COOP or DIE for Quake 2: version 10.04

is that the final release? i mean, will you add more features for the new release?

EDIT: wait a second, are monsters able to drop health? i know that the they can't

Yes it's THE release, except if there is some ugly bug, I don't plan any new DLL feature. Like said before, the only new thing I'm interested in is to add the expansions pack. But it is not planned soon.

Yes, through the "item" field in their entity definition they can drop all sort of items: health, ammo, weapons, armors... etc.

Just in case nobody has noticed, in addition to the new feature "when a player grabs a weapon, it no more stays for the others" there is an extension of the "drop" command.

Now you can drop a weapon to give it to a teammate by typing a console command:

• drop Shotgun
• drop Super Shotgun
• drop Machinegun
• drop Chaingun
• drop Grenade Launcher
• drop Rocket Launcher
• drop HyperBlaster
• drop Railgun
• drop BFG10K

you may use the "drop" command only for ammo (drop shells or something like that) and for others you may use "[" , "]" to navigate through your inventory and BackSpace to drop the selected thing

Pat: I though it has always been possible to use the drop command like that

And: Well, the only thing you can actually drop as ammo from the inventory menu is Grenades. Would be pretty handy to make ammo available in the menu too


Thanks for the update, lastly.
