1) THE GAME
   --------

1.1) What is KPQ2V3 all about?

KPQ2V3 is a hybrid Quake2-Kingpin game. It supports both Kingpin weapons and items and Quake2 weapons and items. You can play death match , team death match or bagman (but thee are no KPQ2v3 bagman maps).

1.2) Whats in it for me?

Quake 2 weapons and items
Grappling hook
Personal teleport
Jetpack


1.3) Installing and running.

Just unzip all the files into your Kingpin directory and they will be placed in the correct locations (Kingpin/KPQ2V3).

1.4) Extra commands available.

bind j use jet pack
bind q use quad damage
bind i use invulnerability
bind 9 use quadfire damage
bind k storeteleport
bind u loadteleport
bind SHIFT +hook        // hook on/off toggle
bind h +grow            // for sliding down the chain
bind b +shrink          // for climbing up the chain

There are scripts in the binds.cfg file to allow you to switch between 2 weapons by pressing the normal weapons keys twice

3 - switch between shotgun and Quake 2 Super Shotgun
4 - switch between tommygun and Quake 2 machinegun
5 - Switch bewtween HMG and Quake 2 chaingun
6 - Switch between grenade launcher and Quake 2 railgun
7 - Switch between bazooka and Quake 2 Hyperblaster
8 - Switch betwen flamethrower and Quake 2 BFG


1.5) Using the grappling hook.

this will probably take some getting used to but the rewards can be excellent. There will be three keys that can be used. The first is to extend and grab something, this is the shift key by default but there's nothing to stop you using anything else. Press and hold the key and the hook will launch and not stop until it hits a wall, once it has the longer you hold the key down the more it will pull you in.  While you are hanging around pressing 'h' and 'b' will make you ascend and descend the rope. 

2) CONFIGURING A SERVER
   --------------------

Most of the settings in the kpq2v3.ini & kpq2v3.cfg shouldn't need changing.The default settings are for Free for All death match.

Some options you might want to change in kpq2v3.ini are:-

default_teamplay 0 (0 is death match, 1 is team death match and 4 is bagman)
default_map kpq2-abomination-v2 (starting map. All maps ae listed in maps.txt)
default_dmflags 17420
default_cashlimit 0 (cashlimit for bagman)
default_fraglimit 30 
default_timelimit 15
default_dm_realmode 0 (leave as 0)

*Please not it is not recommended to play Bagman in KPQ2V3 as there is a bug where players spawn i nthe wrong team's base*

Some options you might want to change in kpq2v3.cfg are:-

set hostname "your hostname here"

set teamplay 0
set dmflags 17420
set cashlimit 0
set fraglimit 30
set timelimit 15

make sure you set the above settings the same as in kpq2v3.ini

set maxclients 16 (number of players that can enter the server at one time) 

map kpq2-abomination-v2 (starting map should be same as in kpq2v3.ini)



3) ReCONFIGURING THE HOOK AND OTHER KPQ2V3 CUSTOM KEY BINDS
========================================================
If you are reading this it means you downlaoded the full install file for KPQ2V3.
If you want to change some of the default KPQ2V3 key binds there is an binds.cfg you can update.

For players who download the client files (pak1) from a KPQ2V3 server they will also download a file called binds.cfg.
They can change the keys to the ones they want and then save the binds.cfg.
