hi there. I am still alive. Back from the nearly death bringing you a preview of the RSH MOD. hope someone can remember this one. Ive just got a cool idea that i want to share and i want to hear your meaning about. I probably gonna make a new multipayer mode based on the rsh MOD wich i want to explain in this posting. We've got now the possibility to access to any remote server on the internet tru a Quake 4 ingame gui terminal. So what we gonna do now? I tell you what: Just imagine a simple Capture the flag - game. We've got 2 teams, blue an red. Each try's to enter the enemy's base and bring the flag back. But now we have several terminals in each base. Fallowing scenario: Red team have 4 players. 2 assault guys armed with some heavy guns and 2 hacker armed with some smaller arms and night sight. The 2 hacker have some experience with unix style systems and know wheir work. For each base there will be a virtual unix machine. This means 2 machines, one for red and one for blue. This machines will be within the same network (this means, from a red server you can access the blue server). This 2 servers will control the physical enviroment in its base. As the game starts 2 red hacker get access to the terminals within red base and will try to sabotage the the blue team's server to damage blue team's base enviroment. In the blue base red team will let things explode, turn lights off, disable the GRAVITY. Or in other words: red team will make blue team's life more difficult, but remotely. So the result of this will be, that the 2 assault guys of the red team can get more easy access to blue team's base, while blue team have to fight with enviromental conditions. The same thing happens in blue base the same time. Other scenario: Since the hacker is equipped with night sight, he can just disable the lights on the complete map, and will have easy going, while the assault guys have to use small serch lights. (But this ins not CTF anymore) In addition we now going to remove all standard weapons, and place another bunch of hitech weapons in: Weapon 1: 
This one will be a meelee weapon. You will need it to connect to a terminal. You alway have it with you. If you are near enough, you can crash the enemy's head. (so the keyboard burst and key buttons flyng around (i would need a new weapon model and new animations) ) Weapon 2: 
This is a semi range weapon, You can use this just like the grapling hook from Quake 3, remember? Well, if its an optical mouse, you can throw it like a granade. It will explode on impact, if its filled with explosives. Weapon 3: 
This one will be a ranged single shot weapon. well i am still thinkin about the other weapons, but maybe these 3 are enought for the moment. What do you think?? Ok, maybe we schoul also make another player model. It should look like a pupil or student, with freaked out hearstyle, armed with a keaboard in the hand. i am not sure about this, i will post a drawing maybe. ------------- I think there are various ways to manipulate the eviromet of Quake 4 like make zones complete dark, disable gravity, spread poison gas, or just quake them..... Well its just an idea, so think about and tell me your meaning. Well if someone is not familiar with unix systems, no problem. I will make tutorial and in addition i will implement an easy hacking interface (well i am not sure at the moment how this may be working, but i am just thinking about while i writing this, so whats up?) Ok, we had A "Capture the flag", possibly we can have a "Capture the server" ;) I think this could make some fun. remember I am always open for new ideas, tell me waht you're thinking. for those of you who havent seen my video, here ist it again: this is splitted to 2 files. both will be 160 MB. --recorded with Taksi Desktop Video Recorder --ive used the vp3 codec --and zipped with 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/download.html --you can playback with vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Please take time to download and watch this. http://www.mediafire.com/?ccdim1y9otx http://www.mediafire.com/?4hxyxhtdyu2 there is more to come stay tuned -- Joe
