Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
This modification is a Drop Quad, Drop Ring thing.
If you die with one or more of these powerup, the powerup doesn't just disappear, like normal.
It drops where the player dies, and it can be picked up again.


Other Stuff to be made by me
----------------------------
+ Quake Item Manager, read more on Wreckers homepage: www.botepidemic.com/fmods in the 'Ideas page'
This one shouldn't be so hard to make. :-)
+ More maps when the new version of FrogBot is released


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Please note: I recommend redoing the entire tutorial if you have already installed it.
First, remove the following functions from Player.qc:
DroppedQuad
DroppedRing
Do the changes on the lines that has the "Changed in version 1.22" string at the end.
That should work :-)


1. Open Defs.qc
Find the lines:

float IMP_MAPS = 85;
float IMP_END4 = 85;
//---------------------------

Between 'float IMP_MAPS = 85;' and 'float IMP_END4 = 85;' add this:
float IMP_DROPQUAD = 86; // EraZoR (DropQuad)
float IMP_DROPRING = 87; // EraZoR (DropRing)
float IMP_QUADDROP = 88; // EraZoR (DropQuad)
float IMP_RINGDROP = 89; // EraZoR (DropRing)

Then use your brain when you change 'float IMP_END4' :-)


Now, find the lines:
float game_disable_powerups;
float game_disable_rndpower; // Khol (RandomPower)

Above those, insert this:
float game_disable_dropquad; // EraZoR (DropQuad)
float game_disable_dropring; // EraZoR (DropRing)


Under the lines:
float GAME_ENABLE_RNDPOWER = 1048576; // Khol (RandomPower)
float GAME_MAPS = 2097152; // Neophyte (Maps)

Add this:
float GAME_ENABLE_DROPQUAD = 4194304; // EraZoR (DropQuad)
float GAME_ENABLE_DROPRING = 8388608; // EraZoR (DropRing)


Find these lines:
//
// globals
//

Below that those lines, add this:
string string_null; // null string, nothing should be held here


In the end of defs.qc
Add this:

.float cnt; // misc flag

Save and close.


2. Open Botimp.qc
In the function 'Setgame'
find the line:
game_disable_powerups = (!(gamemode & GAME_ENABLE_POWERUPS));
Below this, insert these lines:
game_disable_dropquad = gamemode & GAME_ENABLE_DROPQUAD; // EraZoR (DropQuad) Changed in version 1.22
game_disable_dropring = gamemode & GAME_ENABLE_DROPRING; // EraZoR (DropRing) Changed in version 1.22


In the 'Moreoptions' function.
Below this line:
print_boolean(GAME_ENABLE_POWERUPS, "šl÷ånõš ");// powerup
Insert this:
print_boolean(GAME_ENABLE_DROPQUAD, "änlšnõiä "); // EraZoR (DropQuad)
print_boolean(GAME_ENABLE_DROPRING, "änlšnéie "); // EraZoR (DropRing)


In the SetImpulses2 function.
find the lines:
alias("rune_rj", IMP_RUNE_RJ);
alias("qwphysics", IMP_QWPHYSICS);

Below these, insert these lines:
alias("dropquad", IMP_DROPQUAD); // EraZoR (DropQuad)
alias("dropring", IMP_DROPRING); // EraZoR (DropRing)
alias("quaddrop", IMP_QUADDROP); // EraZoR (DropQuad)
alias("ringdrop", IMP_RINGDROP); // EraZoR (DropRing)


Now
Find the lines:
else if (impulse_ == IMP_HOOK)
ToggleGameMode(GAME_ENABLE_HOOK, "hook");

Below this, insert these lines:
else if (impulse_ == IMP_DROPQUAD)
ToggleGameMode(GAME_ENABLE_DROPQUAD, "dropquad");
else if (impulse_ == IMP_DROPRING)
ToggleGameMode(GAME_ENABLE_DROPRING, "dropring");
else if (impulse_ == IMP_QUADDROP)
DropPowerup(); // Changed in version 1.22
else if (impulse_ == IMP_RINGDROP)
DropPowerup(); // Changed in version 1.22


Save and close.

3. Open Player.qc Entire step is Changed in version 1.22


Find the playerdie function.

In the playerdie function.
Insert the following line before "DropBackPack();" :
DropPowerup();


Save and close.


4. Copy powerup.qc into your src directory.


5. Open PreProgs.src, or progs.src, depends on what compiler you use.
Anyway, insert this line:
quadring.qc // Changed in version 1.22
after items.qc

6. Compile, run, type dropring, dropquad, and restart in the console.
Bind some keys to:

'quaddrop' to drop the quad.
'ringdrop' to drop the ring.

Make sure powerups is ON !
Now, gib some bots, lose the powerup, and pick it up again :-)
