Information: As the name of the mod dir suggests, this is a BFG type only mod. We have no idea if this mod is Server-side or not, so those of you who who wish to try it out like a Server-side go ahead. If

it isn't a Server-side mod, please let us know, our email addresses will be down at the end of this file.

Known issues: When playing against bots, the error message may tell you something like "Weapon number out of range" we know about this, there's no need to report this to us.

The "What's make me different from regular Quake 3 Section"

-BFG instagibs on contact, and splash.

-Secondary BFG Weapon has bigger splash radius, but it is weaker

-No self damage

-No falling damage

-The menu is changed

-The gibs stay on the map longer then they usually would

-Death Messages changed:

1st BFG Death: "So-so got ripped a new one by Someone's BFG."

1st BFG Splash Death: "So-So was torn apart by Someone's BFG."

2nd BFG Death: "So-so was owned by Someone's BFG."

2ns BFG Splash Death: "So-so couldn't out run Someone's BFG."

------Things to add------

Offhand Grappling Hook

More menu changes

option to turn down the time that the Gibs stay in a configuration setting

------Things changed from previous unreleased versions------

From latest to earliest

-2nd BFG weapon drops, now it drops no more

-2nd BFG projectile speed was at 300 now it's at 425

-credits were one splash screen, and of the Id Software crew, now it scrolls our names

-2nd BFG was way too powerful, changed to be weaker

-BG to main menu was regular Q3 Logo, now it's a pic of me holding a BFG

-Bots got stuck, wouldn't move unless they saw us, now that's fixed

-Logo on Main menu was a Spinning BFG, and the text "BFG Arena" above it, now there's a BFG Arena banner there

thanks to LD Ash

-Was just the 1 BFG, but now there's 2

-no items spawn

-There was a Hook, but removed it since it's the weapon type, not the offhand type

-First version, that didn't work out too well

Disclaimer: We, the BFGArena modding team reserve the right to ignore any suggestions, or Bug Reports. If the bug you are reporting is listed in the "Known issues" list, we will ignore it. No ifs, or buts about it. If we ignore your idea for this mod, it's likely is because it's not well suited for this mod. Remember this mod is a BFG mod, don't go suggesting that we add the Plasma gun, or put in Quad Damage. I say again, THIS IS A BFG MOD!

------How to install the mod------

Unzip all files into thw Quake 3 Arena folder, then you should be good to go.

------How to start the mod------

Create a shortcut on your desktop for Quake3, then right click on it's icon, choose properties. In the target box add (do not replace, DO NOT REPLACE!!!) the following:

+set fs_game bfgarena +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set sv_pure 0

so in the end it'll look like:

"C:/Program Files/Quake III Arena/quake3.exe" +set fs_game bfgarena +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set sv_pure 0

or where ever your Quake 3 directory is.
