description
-----------
this is a small level that'll let you have a look at 4 of the coolest new
monsters that are out in the net: willy the spider, the manga babe, the
snakeman and the bazooka babe.
each monster has it's own zoo cell with real glass (tm :) windows so you can
have a closeup look at it. you can then either choose to let it loose and
get your butt kicked or teleport it into a small central arena to have it
fight another monster. it can be a little tricky to have them have a go at
each other but if they see you before you jump into the watch room it'll
usually do.
the arena has a small observation room with real glass (tm) windows so you
can have a closeup look at the 'games', hehe. and believe me i was quite
surprised that snaky and bazooka don't always win :) it can be a little
tricky to have them have a go at each other but if they see you before you
jump into the watch room it'll usually do.
there's more cool monsters around that i'd like to include here. the only
thing i need to be able to do that is the qc source, though. the psionic
slug and the cyberdemon just as an example lack this. if you know of another
monster that has qc available, let me know and it'll be included in the next
version.
how to install the addon
------------------------
create a directory called foxyzoo off of your quake directory. unzip the
archive into the foxyzoo directory. DON'T OVERWRITE YOUR PAK0.PAK FILE
(which should be safely in quake\id1\ anyways)! now run quake with 'quake
-game foxyzoo +map foxyzoo' from the command line.
copyright and distribution permissions
--------------------------------------
go ahead and take this package apart as you please. use it for your own
levels. as far as the monsters go do what their respective .txt files say.
don't make money with this (hear me, actura??). if modified, give it another
name; if you want to distribute it in electronic format, keep the zip file
intact, include all accompanying .txt files and notify me.
and, of course, make the world a better place, hehe.
