Zniw Quake

(Mild blood, gore and violence warning. Since it's Quake)

Totally official and cancelled collaboration project between Id Software and Azure Mountain back when the first was Quake released to the public

This project is aimed at restoring the original vision of the addon based on leaked assets and concepts

Features:

• Melee damage buff (80 instead of 20)
• Goofy
• Multiplayer support (Local only has been tested, but should work fine with hosting servers and such)
• Zniw content

Things yet to be added:

• Advanced third person animations for attacking
• Cut Chainsaw-like Weapon
• Pickup models
• Other lost custom text
• Custom font texture

Built for QuakeSpasm and vkQuake, but also kinda works with WinQuake (The background is corrupted, music does not play and multiplayer is not working in WinQuake)

Doesnt seem to work with the new Quake rerelease by bethesda. Needs more testing

UPDATE: Mod does work with the rerelease, but you can only access it trough console by typing "game zniw_quake", but it lacks custom music.

Requirements:

• Copy of Quake (Steam version works)
• QuakeSpasm or vkQuake is installed

Launching the Addon:

If using QuakeSpasm or vkQuake:

1. Launch QuakeSpasm or vkQuake
2. Open console (ESC in main menu, or tilda (~) during gameplay)
3. Type "game zniw_quake" (no quotes)
4. Press enter
5. If you have installed everything correctly, the background will change to the banner image containing Zniw with a SPAS-12

Or

1. Locate zniquake.bat, zniquake-sdl12.bat or zniquake_win.bat
   
2. Launch one of the first two to open the QuakeSpasm Zniw Quake
3. Launch third one for WinQuake version (not recommended)

If you use other Sourceports, or want to make a shortcut, refer to the next sections

Shortcut creation:

1. Choose your source port
2. Locate your source port's exe (example: vkQuake.exe)
3. Right-click on exe, then click Send To > Desktop (Create shortcut)
4. Locate the created shortcut
5. Open shortcuts properties
6. Find file path field (example: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake\vkQuake.exe)
7. Add parameters -game zniw_quake to it (example: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake\vkQuake.exe -game zniw_quake)
8. Save
9. Test it by opening the shortcut, if you have set up and installed everything correctly, the background will change to the banner image containing Zniw with a SPAS-12

Batch file launch command:

"YourQuakeExeNameHere.exe -game zniw_quake" (no quotes), i mostly used it for testing but idk if you might need it in some specific case.

Source Port specific stuff:

if you are using anything other than QuakeSpasm, vkQuake or WinQuake and have questions, you should google them, because i'm not that experienced with other ports and can't really help you in that regard, sorry.
