Quake3World

Yo, long time no see.

Back in the day, there were two mods that let you play around with item placement while in the game. I believe there were two mods that did the same, and I think they were called ICE and Diablos respectively.

Does anyone either have a copy of them, or know where to find them? They were incredibly useful for toying with the layout easily.

You mean mods that were straight capable of editing BPS files? I though that wasn't quite possible. Or was it just temporary? Anyway, I do not know the names of the mods, nor do I even have copies of them. As far as I know, idTech4 engine let you mess around with sounds while in game...

Doesn't OSP allow to do this?

No, just runtime replacement of items in game. The BSP just tells the game what weapon should spawn where, but the actual spawning is done by the game code. If you write a mod that simply spawns a railgun whenever the BSP tells it to spawn a shotgun, then that's very well possible.

Ok. So it's not possible to create a new spawnpoint of entities, you can only change weapon that spawns in predefined position in BSP?

A mod could do even that. I could code a mod that ignores all the items in the BSP map and just read a text file or some cvar that determines where all items should spawn.

That's it! Thank you so much. I knew I made the right call when I pm'ed you on steam
A friend of mine is wondering if you happen to have this as well v1l3:

Eraser: AFAIK there's no such feature in OSP. If it's like CPMA however, it lets you load .map files with alternative layouts and use that instead.
These mods lets you actually change the item layout in game (and save to a .map file).

Now that y'all are back, crack those knuckles and go make some new maps!

Hope you're doing well. What's new in life?

My computer sees less use these days since I'm constantly planning trips to go climbing up some rock face somewhere.

No, I do not have that

Hello
Changing spawn items, powerups, weapons, etc. can be modified in ExcessivePlus fashion, I know, because I recently did it on my server.

Never thought about doing the item layout live like that. Pretty smart.
