What is GameType Revolution?
GTR (GameType Revolution) is a versatile modification for quake4. This mod adds features/changes, other mods like q4max and xbattle would never even concider to add. It's adding more fun into Quake4.
Our work with the community finding better weaponbalance and movement for Q4 reached id software and we worked together with them to get them into baseq4. With the 1.3 Patch we finally succeded and got many of the gameplay changes into the game. Though, not all changes has been added, so GTR is still worth playing it. Here's a short list of changes, which show why people like GTR:
- Lots of Gameplay Features
- New Gametypes
- Different Gamemodes (Q4, GTR, Q4W, QW, GTX) + Ability to Add own GameModes.
- Better Performance
- Better Sound
- Enhanced Q4 feeling
- New Physics
- Tweaks and Otions to make Q4 look better
- Lots of HUD features.
It is based on the X-Battle 0.20 source, but it's not compareable anymore. GTR uses resources of the Creative Common Q4 project, such as Brightskins and Weaponskins. GTR will add lots of new gametypes to quake4, like Freezetag, Jailbreak, OneFlag CTF, ... And New GameModes, like Quake4World, Promode, Excessive, ..
Client Install
Extract the whole archive with full paths into your Quake4 directory (take care not installing it in q4base ). If you succeed you'll see a new folder called "gtr" where you can put your config etc. in. That's it :)
You need the CCQ4 pack01 to play this game.
If you want to start GTR directly use the following commandline:
Linux: quake4 +set fs_game gtr Windows: Quake4.exe +set fs_game gtr
Note: if you have an older version of GameType-Revolution, we recommend to delete the gtr directory before installing.
Server Install
You have to run GTR as own mod, and not as pk4 addon. To do so, you need to specifiy the mod folder in your server startupline, e.g:
Linux: q4ded.x86 +set fs_game gtr +exec server.cfg Windows: Quake4Ded.exe +set fs_game gtr +exec server.cfg
Thank you for setting up our mod on your server.
Note: if you have an older version of GameType-Revolution, we recommend to delete the gtr directory before installing.
