<p><font face="Arial">One of the exciting features of the

|
Q2CTF is a new weapon/tool called the Grapple. The
|
|||
|
|
grapple lets you get to parts of the level that were
|
|||
|
|
previously inaccessible and can be used as a great tool
|
|||
|
|
to increase your mobility. It can also be used as a
|
|||
|
|
weapon, but it only does the same damage as the blaster,
|
|||
|
|
so it's not very effective.</font></p>

weapon in midair. Once the change is completed,

<h3><font color="#C0C0C0" face="Arial">Communicating With
|
|||
|
|
Your Team</font></h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">A very important part of any
|
|||
|
|
multiplayer team based game is communication. Letting
|
|||
|
|
your teammates know where you are and what you are doing
|
|||
|
|
is an essential part of teamwork.</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">Q2CTF has a basic team
|
|||
|
|
communication called "say_team" or
|
|||
|
|
"messagemode2". It is like the regular
|
|||
|
|
communication of Quake2, but you need to bind a key in
|
|||
|
|
order to use it. I use the <R> key myself, since
|
|||
|
|
its right beside the normal <T> key used for
|
|||
|
|
communication. To bind it, use the following:</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial"><code>bind r
|
|||
|
|
"messagemode2"</code></font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">When you want to say a message to
|
|||
|
|
your team, just hit <R> and type it in. This image
|
|||
|
|
shows me telling what I'm doing to my team:</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p align="center"><font face="Arial"><img
|
|||
|
|
src="say_team.gif" alt="(Zoid): At base, defending"
|
|||
|
|
width="462" height="32"></font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">Note the parenthesis around my
|
|||
|
|
name. This indicates it is a team message and only people
|
|||
|
|
on your team saw it.</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">Now, normally I don't type a lot of
|
|||
|
|
my team messages, I have several standard messages I use
|
|||
|
|
to communicate with my teammates. They are bound to
|
|||
|
|
several keys like so:</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial"><code>bind z "say_team Base
|
|||
|
|
secure"<br>
|
|||
|
|
bind x "say_team Base overrun! Recover"<br>
|
|||
|
|
bind c "say_team Incoming!"<br>
|
|||
|
|
bind v "say_team I'm going offensive"<br>
|
|||
|
|
bind g "say_team Going to base"<br>
|
|||
|
|
bind b "say_team At base, defending"</code></font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">So when I want to say "At
|
|||
|
|
base, defending" to my teammates, I just hit my
|
|||
|
|
<B> key to do so. This is much faster than typing
|
|||
|
|
it out all the time.</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">Q2CTF also features some advanced
|
|||
|
|
options for communicating to your teammates. This feature
|
|||
|
|
is called "auto macros". It lets you configure
|
|||
|
|
generic messages that will automatically be filled in as
|
|||
|
|
necessary. Here's an example.</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial"><code>bind f "say_team I'm %L,
|
|||
|
|
%H and %A, and have %T."</code></font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">That looks kind of cryptic, but
|
|||
|
|
here's what happens when I hit the F key I bound that
|
|||
|
|
say_team to:</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p align="center"><font face="Arial"><img
|
|||
|
|
src="automac.gif" width="590" height="62"></font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">What this means is each of the %
|
|||
|
|
macros in the say_team are automatically changed into
|
|||
|
|
something specific to the situation. In this case, the %L
|
|||
|
|
changes to a description of my current location, %H
|
|||
|
|
changes to how much health I have, %A changes to indicate
|
|||
|
|
how much armor I have and %T changes to indicate what
|
|||
|
|
TECH Powerup I'm carrying.</font></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><font face="Arial">Here is a table of all the
|
|||
|
|
different % automacros and what they do.</font></p>

where the players pick their teams, discuss

|
strategies and prepare for the match. Players can

|
|
move around the level, but can't pick up any

|
items or damage any enemy players. If the server
|

|

isn't dedicated to match play, there is a timer

have to set up their game. If they don't set it
|

|
|
up in the needed period of time, the server will
|

|

reset back to normal play. When the players have
|
|||
|

established their teams, each player must enter

'ready' to commit to the game. Once everyone has
