Cspree

From QWiki

Chilling Spree is a deathmatch mod for Quakeworld that focuses on user friendliness and lots of game modes to try out. It is intended for having fun playing Quakeworld with new twists of the game instead of playing the same three modes all the time.

Lots of work has been made to create a whole new structure of deathmatch modding, it is in fact rewritten from the ground up and has its unique style.
With a load of new features like GUI system, server side bot support and heapless of game modes it is intended to be a casual mod that you can use to "just have fun"(tm).

It was released as beta on the 1st January 2017.


Features

  • 14 gamemodes, of which 9 never seen on QuakeWorld!
  • Server side antilag making it more precise and client independent
  • Server side bot support, Frikbot based
  • Many new options, like loadouts, starting armor, etc. Tweakable game items and weapons for server admins.
  • Written from scratch by Molgrum, enhanced by Spike and bugfixed by Molgrum yet again

Requirements and how to use

Client requirements: EzQuake 3.0 or FTE. A client just has to find a CPREE server and connect. Everything needed will be automatically downloaded for you. Alternatively, you can download this .pk3 and place it on your /qw folder.

Server Requirements: Extensive usage of FTE extensions makes FTE server the only viable option. Ask the crew for a server package.

Concepts

  • Rulemaker

The rulemaker is the only player that can change all the options in the GUI menu. Anyone can apply to be the the rulemaker by typing /rulemaker in the console. All the other players that aren't the rulemaker can just watch, and when ready, jump around the map until the countdown starts.

  • Loadouts

The items that the players spawn with. A combination of loadouts can be chosen from the menu, for example sg+gl. Can also be powerups.

  • Past Matches

The past matches played on the server will be displayed here. You can download the demos from the menu. The server also keeps track of your performance, like frags.

  • Matchless gametypes

Some gametypes are matchless, which means anyone can join the server and play while a game is in progress.

Development stage and technical aspects

See Github project page for technical infomation and status updates.

Current status

Needs testing, extensively.
