Lithium II is a very configurable server side deathmatch modification

for Quake II v3.20. Clients do not need to download anything for DM

mode. Lithium II CTF mode requires clients to have ThreeWave CTF II.

Main Features

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* All features are toggleable and configurable. Use the ones you want.

* Menu system for in-game remote administration and client settings.

* Runes; strength, resist, regen, haste, and vampire.

* Improved HUD with frags, frags/hr, players, your place, current rune.

* Optional HUD that displays ammo counts.

* Damage, speed, and radius adjustable for all weapons.

* Obituaries with your enemy highlighted in green text.

* Grappling hook, offhand (red laser style).

* Faster respawning as more players join.

* Configurable map queue with randomize option.

* Customizable MOTD.

* Observer fly-thru mode.

* Chasecam to follow other players around (cam is client adjustable).

* Player ID, to identify who you're looking at.

* Safety time period for player spawns.

* No camp option kills campers (default off).

* Options to kick chat and kill flooders.

* IP banning, also min and max ping requirements.

* Adjust start/max values for health, ammos, and armor. Also setup which

weapons clients will start with.

* Server configuration and toggles implemented as cvars. This allows

.cfg files for startup and instant changes on the server console.

* Based on v3.20 game source, and compiled for Windows x86, Linux x86,

Linux AXP, Solaris x86, and Solaris Sparc.

* VWep support, see which weapon your enemy is using! (requires a pak).

* GSLog frag logging (Gibstats Log Standard).

* Fast weapon switching.

* Admin list feature with access levels and passwords.

* Option for Pro-Rocket specs (via procket.cfg).

* Map voting system.

* Lithium Master Server support (see lmaster.txt).

* Multi-server chat system (see lmaster.txt).

* Overflow protection.

* Integrated ThreeWave CTF II.

* High scores feature.

* Zbot (auto-aim cheat) detection to kick and log them.

* More...

Quick Start (DM)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a "lithium" directory under your Quake II directory, and extract the

archive there. From a command prompt, change to your Quake II directory.

To run a dedicated server, type this:

quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game lithium

If you want to play on the machine that will host the server, use this:

quake2 +set deathmatch 1 +set game lithium +map base1

When running a non-dedicated server, you must specify a map or a config

file (that contains a map specification at the end).

Quick Start (CTF)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First install ThreeWave CTF II. Extract the Lithium II archive into the

"ctf" directory under your Quake II directory. From a command prompt,

change to your Quake II directory. To run a dedicated server, type this:

quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game ctf +set ctf 1

Configuration

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To configure things to your liking, it is recommended that you pick one of

the following files:

lithium.cfg - settings for a default Lithium II server

stock.cfg - settings for a stock Quake II server

lithctf.cfg - settings for a default Lithium II CTF server

stockctf.cfg - settings for a stock CTF II server

And copy it to server.cfg. Edit server.cfg as you please, and include

"+exec server.cfg" (without quotes) when starting your server from the

command prompt.

See config.txt for a list of which each variable in the config does. When

installing over an old version of Lithium II, it is recommended that you

use a fresh server.cfg (as the configs change some between versions).

Any of the variables you see in the .cfg files can be entered directly to

the server console. The change will take effect immediately for most

settings, some may not take effect until the next map.

Adjust the maxclients value accordingly in server.cfg. You can modify

the MOTD to your liking by editing the motd.txt in the lithium directory

(or ctf directory for CTF mode).

If you don't want your server listed publicly, set public 0 in your config.

If you don't want your server connecting to the lmaster, set use_lmaster 0.

Administration

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you'd like to use the in-game remote administration feature, you'll

need to set the admin_code variable in lithium.cfg. The default is 0,

which disables the feature.

Alternatively you can setup an admin.lst specifying specific admins, each

with different access levels and passwords. A bit more complex, see

admin.lst for more info.

In the game, to access the admin menu, simply type "admin" on the console.

You will be prompted for the admin_code.

Please note that numbers you type in the admin menus are detected by key

bindings. If you've changed the binds for your number keys, you'll have a

problem. Unfortunately this is the only way to detect those keys being

pressed in the game .dll code.

Playing

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clients require no special files to play on Lithium servers. There is

nothing they need to download. Simply connect and play. That's the

beauty of server side mods.

Client commands:

drop rune Drop your current rune

+scores Quake 1 style scoreboard

+hook Grappling hook

observe Observer mode

chase Chasecam mode

chaseleader Always chase first place

chaselist List the clients chasing you

highscores List high scores for current map

bestweap Toggle best weapon pickup

id Toggle player identity

hud Toggle Lithium/Ammo HUD

menu Lithium II main menu

admin Admin menu

It's recommended that you bind keys to "drop rune", +scores, and +hook.

For example, you'd type something like this on the console (or add to

your autoexec.cfg in your quake2\lithium directory):

bind d "drop rune"

bind tab +scores

bind q +hook

Runes:

Strength (Red) You inflict 2x damage

Resist (Blue) You take 1/2 damage

Haste (Yellow) You fire twice as fast

Regen (Green) Your health regenerates slowly

Vampire (Purple) You gain health for damage inflicted

Future Features

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

No guarantees on anything or the order they'll be added! I have many

things planned. A few of them include:

* Teamplay options

* Eraser bots

* Competition modes, with lmaster features

* FragTrak, comprehensive and compact frag tracking system
