Thursday 8pm, 194.217.248.15 26666 - CAPTURE THE FLAG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be hosting another CTF event this Thursday at 8pm GMT. If you
have v1.06 then you can select port 26666 from the Quake menu.
Otherwise it's '-udpport 26666' from the command line. We won't be
running the super weapons patch - just pure CTF.
Details of the patch follow:
This is only available for people with registered quake. Connecting
with shareware quake will cause quake to crash out on connect.
We are using the deathmatch additions from W.Harris

Capture the Flag
--------------------------
Capture the flag is a game of two teams. At the start of the game,
the players in the game must divide into two teams called 'Silver' and
'Gold'
Silver members type 'COLOR 0'
Gold members type 'COLOR 1'
Now, each team must decide where on the level they want to place
their flag. When they have decided, one member of each team types
IMPULSE 18 to drop the base. When both teams have dropped their
base, then the game automatically starts. The flags are initially
placed in their respective bases. When you are placing your base, you
cannot do any damage to anything. If you pick up the enemy flag, and
you take it back to your base, then you get three frags. If you are
killed carrying a flag then you drop it where you die. The flag can
then be picked up by either team, if the team that owns the flag picks
it up, then it is teleported back to their base. This removes a minor
bug of teams being able to 'hog' their flag, meaning that the other
team cannot capture it. If you are carrying a flag, you glow. If you
want to drop the flag that you are carrying, then type IMPULSE 18.
This is so that a well coordinated team can make a human chain to
capture the flag efficiently.
The auto-suicide kicker will kick someone if they type KILL twice in
thirty seconds.
Keyboard Bindings
-----------------------------
Thoughout this documentation I have said things like:
'type IMPULSE 17'
However, I would not recommend that whenever you want to place a
tripwire, you enter the console, and manually type 'IMPULSE 17'. This
will result in you being killed rather quickly.
I recommend that you bind these keys:
BIND D "IMPULSE 18" (drop flag)

Any probs or questions then mail me...
Adios!
