Two years ago, I made a few
modifications for the game Quake, using the programming language QuakeC.
I never got a chance to put them on the Internet, though, because I didn't
have a page back then. Well, it's better late than never, as they
say, so if you like the original Quake, here are some of my better mods.
Most of them involve adding a ninth weapon to the game in place of the
"extra weapon" item in the source. I haven't tested them in multiplayer
yet, but they should work there. All the source code is included
in the mods, so you can look at how I did all the coding.
Energy Rifle
This weapon is a rifle that shoots powerful bolts of
energy at enemies, like Doom's plasma gun. But beware - some enemies
use the energy rifle too!

The Chiller
If you've always wanted to be Mr. Freeze from Batman,
then you might want to check out this weapon. It's a ray of ice that
freezes enemies, and they stay frozen until you hit them with another weapon.

Gatling Gun
Faster than a machine gun, more powerful than a chain
gun, this weapon is... the Gatling Gun! It uses shotgun shell shards
to fire at a fast rate and make Swiss cheese out of demons and monsters.

Golden Gun
When you carry this weapon, you will be surrounded by
a golden light. Use that light to blast your enemies to kingdom come.
Beware in multiplayer, though, for this weapon will surely reveal your
position.

Homing Missiles v. 3
This replaces your boring old rockets with homing missiles
that seek out enemies and circle toward them. If they're quick, enemies
can dodge them, but the missiles will come at them until they hit something.

Mini Missile Launcher
Launch hundreds of miniature missiles at your opponents!
But look out - a sneaky ogre might try to launch some of them at you...

Sapphire Wand
If you've played Raven's game Hexen, you should recognize
this as the mage's starting weapon. Now it can be the Quake marine's
starting weapon as well. You can stand back and snipe at monsters
with it.

Three Specialized Weapons
Don't worry about the weapons you're used to, because
you won't have them anymore. Instead, you'll get three weapons for
any instance, with infinite ammo: the Laser Rifle, the Scorcher, and the
Thunder Taser. Imagine multiplayer - no more running around looking
for the rocket launcher.
