How to make an awesome GIB gun for
the Shambler and all your other needs.
By Trevor Knowlton
Ok first open your quake directory and search for qcc. Once you have found qcc, open up your progs106 folder. Now scroll down to weapons.qc and open it up, now we need to be careful. Now we can go two ways, we can use the Rocket Launcher, or we can use the Grenade Launcher. I am going to show you both ways.
Ok now this is for the Rocket Launcher, use control F and search for ROCKETS.
There shall be a line under ROCKETS that says// T_RadiusDamage (self, self.owner, 120, other); // This line here says, it gives damage to monsters and even you if you are in the proximity. Anyways, change the damage from 120 to about 700. Now, that is the Rocket Launcher GIB gun.
Now for the Grenade Launcher, I prefer the Grenade Launcher in some cases over the rocket launcher. You can do either the Grenade or Rocket Launcher or both if you like. Ok here we go, now use control F again to bring up the search tool and search for this exact line. // void() GrenadeExplode = // Under this line is another line that says
// T_RadiusDamage (self, self.owner, 120, world); // as you can guess we will be changing this line because it is the damage line i.e (T_RadiusDamage). OK now as you can figure, the 120 will be the damage it gives. I would set this at 700 because I know it GIBS at that damage.
Now save and compile then run your game and have fun. I know the GIB will work on just bout everything, I have not tested it on the shambler. Anyways have fun and try not to get kicked if you use this in multi-player. Also, I will have another (EASY) skill lvl tutorial like this one on how to make the Super Shotgun faster and do a little more damage. Have fun and always back-up your files in case something happens...I learned the hard way. If this tutrorial does not work, you are probably doing something wrong. So if it does not work, do not panic, just redo everything I stated above and try it again. If the mod still does not work, I am sorry for all the inconvenience it caused you if you didn't back up your files.
