Server modifications:
The server code has been heavily modified by myself (White Fang). I've written a decent amount of the additions, but several pieces are other people's patches merged into my code. Over 4300 lines of code have been added to the original v1.01 code. Below is a list of changes. I'll add credits and where to find original code soon. I'll also be releasing the progs.dat for the Lithium Quake Server, so it can be run on other servers.
-
Observer Mode:
When you first connect to lithium, you start in observer mode. You may hit fire to join the battle. Otherwise, you may fly around and watch. Press jump to warp to a different random location.
-
Map Queue:
The maps are played in a certain order. Currently it's set to: e1m1, dm3, e1m2, e1m3, dm4, e1m5, dm5, e2m2, dm6, e4m3.
-
Faster Respawn:
The more people playing, the faster items and weapons will respawn.
-
Grappling Hook:
Pick up the little pink star to get the grappling hook. You can select it by picking the axe twice, or do an impulse 21. To use it, hold down fire until it hits a wall (or another player). Keep holding fire for it to stay there, or switch weapons and it'll hold. To unhold (while you're selected on a different weapon), go back to the grappling hook, you'll let go. The hook will do damage to other players, it can take a while, but their firing speed is slowed down.
-
Runes:
There are 4 types of runes, they'll appear at random throughout a map. With the Strength rune, you do double damage to others. With the Resistance rune, you take half damage when hit. The Haste rune will let you fire twice as fast. And the Regeneration rune will slowly give you health points. You may drop a rune at any time, by issuing an impulse 41. Otherwise you hold a rune until you die. When someone with a rune dies, it will pop out of them like a backpack does. Now, you must note that there's a 15% chance a rune you pick up is corrupted. Instead of doing what it should, it'll do the opposite, and you'll be forced to keep it for 20 to 30 seconds. It'll pass by itself.
-
Rune Keys:
If you find a silver (card) rune key, you'll get a Cujo dogbot to assist you. He'll do his best to follow you, and attack your enemies. If he kills someone, you'll get the frag. If you kill someone elses dog, you get a frag. A gold (card) rune key will get you 3 Cujo's (they're somewhat rare). The other silver key, will explode you 10 seconds after picking it up. You won't loose any frags, but anyone in a very large radius around you will be gibbed. And you'll get all the frags.
-
Chase Cam:
Try it. Impulse 30. You can see yourself as you walk around, your eyes are positioned behind you.
-
Other:
There are a few other less important changes that I can't remember at the moment...
