Quake3World

The amount of armor or health that armor and health bubbles give can be modified in bg_misc.c

In the beginning of the file you'll find the bg_itemlist definition. This holds definitions for all the items in the game.

You'll find the value 5 in the definition for armor shards, for example, right under "Armor Shard" and above IT_ARMOR. This means that armor shards give 5 of whatever they give to the player (in this case, armor). You'll notice you'll find 50 and 100 under item_armor_combat and item_armor_body respectively. You can change these values to give different amounts of armor.

Same goes for the definitions for item_health_*

Ah, but the thing is, if I change the amount given by the '5 hp bonus health' or the '100 hp bonus megahealth', it doesn't perform the 'bonus' part.

What I mean is, normally when you pick them up, they can increase your HP beyond the maximum of 100 to 200. If I change the values, they still heal health, but they do not increase health beyond the maximum.

The strange thing is tho, if I change the armor values, nothing bad happens and it can increase maximum armor past 100 just fine.

Also:
1) I'm trying to figure out how to increase those 'bonus' maximums from 200, to say, 300. Still haven't figured out how.
2) I can't find 'powerups' under any of the files currently... want to change say the regeneration from 5 hp/second to 10 hp/second for example. As well, what the hell does the battlesuit do?
3) How to modify the maximum clients per game without having to constantly type /sv_maxclients everytime I want more than 12 bots in a game.

Any thoughts?

If you'd look a bit further in the BG_CanItemBeGrabbed function and the Pickup_Health function in g_items.c, The max health/armor thing can be adjusted there as well. I see something related to the health/armor countdowns when you're above 100 in the ClientTimerActions function in g_active.c, not sure if that's the only place that needs to be modified though. There's something there about the regen powerup as well.

K thanks. Found where it degenerates HP and armor. However, was wondering how I would remove it so that any amount gained over 100 hp/armor would remain that way until you took damage? If I simply delete the code, I get an error message.

Also, changed maximum health, I think, and the health pickups are still giving me problems.

K, finally fixed the problem with the health pickups and maximum health. Apparently, there was 3 different spots in 3 different files where you had to change numbers around for it to work. I had been trying to do it by only changing 1 or 2 files out of 3. Now it properly increases to up to 500 hp, however, Armor values are still giving me issues pushing past 200. I'll keep looking.

Also, now figured out the maximum armor as well. Now to only figure out how to mess around with other powerups, removing armor/hp degeneration, and modifying the armor/hp damage ratio.
