About this mod

A handful of little changes to the gameplay of Quake 2 with the intent of making single-player more interesting for long time players. Mod currently not working due to an update.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod is out of date because an update to the game has broken things. I'll probably come back and update it at some point. 

Source code: here

This mod makes the following changes to weapons:

Shotgun: Slightly wider spread, slightly more damage per pellet, increased rate of fire (1.5x)
Super Shotgun: More pellets, less damage per pellet, overall damage remains the same
Machinegun: Half spread so more reliable for ranged pickoffs
Grenade Launcher: 120 -> 150 damage, slightly lower radius, slightly increased rate of fire (1.2x)
Hand Grenade: slightly higher radius damage
Railgun: 100 -> 150 damage

The mod also makes the following changes to enemies:

Berserker: Lowered leap damage 35 -> 25
Flyer: Health reduced 50 -> 40
Gladiator: Health reduced 400 -> 300
Phalanx Gladiator: Health + Power Shield reduced 250 -> 200
Icarus: Health reduced 240 -> 150
Daedalus: Health reduced 450 -> 250
Parasite: Health reduced 175 -> 125
Tank: Health reduced 750 -> 550
Tank Commander: Health reduced 1000 -> 850
Berserker, Gunner, Enforcer, Guard, Iron Maiden, Brain, Gekk, Gladiator, Barracuda: A 33% chance to spawn as a bigger, tougher version of itself. These larger versions emit light to make them easier to identify. 
Guards: 50% chance to spawn as a different kind of guard (available types: Blaster, Shotgun, Machinegun, Ripper, Laser, Hyperblaster)

I'd like to make some more changes in future, but these ideas are more ambitious and will require a lot more work.

To install:
Drop the "bubsq2" folder in your \Quake 2\rerelease folder

To play:
Load up the game and enter "game bubsq2" into console. 

Known issues:
None, but I haven't done significant playtesting.
