Installing Wod
The first thing you
should do is Download and install a Later version of WOD. Download the zip
file to a place where you will remember where it is like "my
documents". When you unzip this file it must go into your weapons folder.
This is located in your Quake2 folder. The path will be
C:/quake2/weapons. If it says "Directory doesn't exist create
it" while you are unzipping the file say "yes".
Once you have a version of
WOD installed you can "Bind The Hook" The readme file in WOD somewhat
explains how to do this but i will explain it here as well. The directions tell you
to use the g key for the hook but it doesn't tell you that grenades are already
on the g key. If you wish to use the keys g, f and r for the hook like it
explains in the readme file you should first move grenades off g key by typing
this. bind z "use
grenades"
Hit enter after typing the command. You can use a different key other than
z if you wish. Then bind the hook as follows
hitting enter after each command
bind g +hook
bind r +shrink
bind f +grow
G shoots out the hook. R retracts it
and f will let out more slack if your still hooked to something.
Binding The Hook To Your Mouse
You can set up the Hook quickly
and easily if you Bind it to your mouse. Of course you must have the WOD file
installed first. Then Bind the Hook to your un-used mouse keys hitting enter
after you type the command.
bind mouse2 +hook
bind mouse3 +shrink
If you don't have a wheel mouse or a
3rd key you can just use mouse2 alone. In the game when you shoot the hook out
continue to hold down mouse2 and it will retract the hook.
Multiple Hooks
Its Easy to shoot multiple Hooks
by binding a key to this next command. I will use the x key in example.
bind x "hook action; hook action"
Hit enter after typing the command of
course. Now go into a WOD game and shoot out your hook like you usually do and
leave it out. Then hit the x key you bound to shoot out more.
The Readme file that comes with
the WOD file explains all the commands that come with WOD. Check it out. You can
also bind phrases to keys. Here are some examples of binds if you are to stupid
to find the readme file. Bring down console by hitting the ~ key and remember to
hit enter after each command typed.
bind d decoy
bind w scanner
bind l laser
bind p push
bind o pull
bind mouse2 +hook
bind mouse3 +shrink
bind s say You Humans all suck big
time. I own you all.
If you want to bind a sentence or
phrase to a key you must put the word say in front of the sentence as shown
above. You may or may not be able to use a certain feature depending on what
version of WOD the server is running. For instance competition weapon servers
will not allow you to use scanner, laser trips or push-pull. Go to a server like
DugDogs that runs version 6.04 to use all the goodies.
Open notepad. If you don't know
where notepad is do this: Go to start, find, files and folders and type notepad.
When notepad is found double click it. In notepad type this one line of text
just like its written here.
quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game weapons +exec server.cfg
Then click FILE, Save AS, at the top of
note pad and call the file wod.bat. Save it to your quake2 folder not your
weapons folder. Then use windows explorer or notepad and go to your quake2
folder. Open q2 folder. Change files of type to ALL FILES otherwise you cant see
the one you want. Locate the dos icon called wod.bat Thats the one
you created. Right click it and either create a shortcut and drag it to the
desktop or click send to desktop as shortcut. Double click this icon or your
shortcut to launch the server. You should see a dos screen come up and it may
take some time for it to load so don't be impatient.
You must add your server to
Gamespy or whatever you use Kali etc.... At the of upper left of Gamespy
there is a button called Add Server. Click this and type in your ip
address and click OK. If your server is running it will now appear on and
Gamespy or whatever service your using. You can also find your server easily by
clicking on "unbound" at the left of Gamespy under Quake2.
Of course you will want to
change settings or configure your server. You can change settings like the time
limit, frag limit, number of players and the name of your server. Use notepad or
explorer and click on your quake2 folder, click on the weapons folder then click
the server.cfg file. when changing the server name be sure to leave the quote
marks at the beginning and end of the name. You can also change the map that the
server starts with. In the server.cfg file find the word map and change the map
thats already there to what ever you want, like q2dm1. When finished configuring
the server click save at the top or your changes wont take effect. You must also
restart the server for these changes to start. You are now ready to have your
ass kicked by me in your new server Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Installing the player spikes is basically the
same as the rocket beam. Just unzip the file and put it in your q2/baseq2
folder. If you already have a pak8 change the pack number to 7. Normally
you will only have packs 1 through 6 in there so you have 7 through 9 to
use. If you are using the rocket beam also make sure they have different
numbers. This cheat will make long black spikes project out of the players
making them very easy to see. If they are standing on the other side of a
wall you will actually see the spikes come through the wall so you know
they are there. If you dont like it then you just simply delete the pak
file from your baseq2 folder, and your back to normal.

You can create signs or
Banners to use while playing Q2 to taunt your enemies. Once you have
Downloaded the file ( if you dont know where it is type this in find.
q2text14) open it and type what ever you wish to say in the four rows
provided. You can learn to be more creative later making pictures or larger
words out of dots and slashes ha ha. Then click file at the top
and choose a short name for the file. Here I will use Example.cfg as my
example. Save this file to your weapons folder that of course resides in
your Quake2 folder. Now you can bind a key to execute the file while
playing Q2. There are 2 ways to do this but the easiest way is to go into a game
and bind the key that you want to use. I will use X key here in the
example. bind x exec example.cfg then hit
enter key. The other way is too open your config.cfg that's
located in your weapons folder and write the command in yourself. Choose the key
you want to use and write in the command like this bind
x "exec example.cfg" then click save at the top of notepad or
explorer. That's it you are now ready to taunt those Human fools.
Oops sorry I forgot your Human.

Basically to use this cheat, just unzip it
into your quake2/baseq2 folder, then create a shortcut to it on your
desktop. The thing you have to remember is that it will not work unless
you have already started quake2 (in other words, quake2 has to be running
when you activate it). The way I use it is I'll get into a game then press
alt and tab at the same time, this will shrink q2 to the bottom of your
screen, then just activate the speed cheat and youll be running light
speed. With the old speed cheat you can only run twice as fast. The new
speed cheat you have to pull down your console and type timescale 2 you
can set timescale to 1 which is normal to timescale 5 which is superfast.
If you have a voodoo card when you alt tab out of the game it will shut
down q2, so you have to go to video switch to software renderer then alt
tab out start the speed cheat, then get back to q2 and switch back to
3dfx. With the old speed cheat you can only use 2x speed or full bright.
Full bright will light up the map. The new speed cheat will allow you to
use both at the same time, but you have to type the commands in the
console

I created the bright
yellow Grunt to see all those spineless Humans who like to hide in the shadows
and shoot us Bots in the Back. I took the skin called Lava which is bright
yellow and placed it over the default grunt player. If you really want to get
radical you can delete or move out every player in your Q2 players folder and
leave only the grunt skin. This of course will be the only player you will see
and everybody will be running around bright yellow. Download the skin from the
downloads page. C:\Quake2\baseq2\players\male is where you want to unzip
the file to. It will say replace existing file? you say yes.
