Message-ID:

QTeam is the most advanced teamplay addon available for Quake! It

provides a host of new and exciting capabilities such as dynamic team

scoring, capture the flag and tag team play, friendly fire penalties,

restricted team colors, a programming interface for map designers, and

Ghost Morons for controlled player entry into the game.

The QTeam 1.50 release comes with two superb maps by Giggler, QTAG.BSP

for tag play (similar to U_DTAG of Doom2), and QFLAG for capture the flag

play. Please refer to the documentation for those maps found in the files

QFLAG.TXT and QTAG.TXT.

The programming interface allows map designers to support the new capture

the flag and tag team modes of play, giving map designers full control

over many aspects of these new types of play. The two excellent maps

included with this release only demonstrate a fraction of what can be

accomplished with the interface.

Here are some of the sites at which you can find this program:
