The Faked Death
| Ok, now imagine being pursued by a mad railgun shooter who
will probably kill you with his next hit! How about acting dead as his next narrow shot
skims you? Just press the 'A' key and your player will go down with a heart-rending scream
and look like he's dead... You can wait 'til the other guy's gone away, then get back up.
But if he's one of those people who immediately tries to "dispose of" his dead
opponents with an additional shot, he'll start to wonder why this damn corpse still
screams!? It's also bad luck if your heart beat's too loud or you just have to sneeze, and
the others can hear you....hmmm... time to press 'A' again and keep running! Tip: If
you're climbing around with your grapple and you use this, don't forget to release the
hook! Otherwise it looks somewhat funny... a swinging corpse in mid-air! :) Another hint:
It's only human that sometimes a player cannot act like a professional actor in the middle
of a hot and strenuous battle... so don't be surprised if they sometimes exaggerate their
death a little bit (...like a bad Shakespeare actor :) |

The Cameras
| We proudly present our new Chaos Camera, a semi-intelligent
ingame-action camera. It comes in several Camera modes but I don't think that I have to
describe the modes here because the names are quite self-explanatory. F5 camera 1 -
Intelli Cam
F6 camera 2 - Chase Cam
F7 camera 3 - Birdview Chase Cam
F8 camera 4 - TV Cam
F4 camera 0 - Switch back to normal player mode
Note that to keep up fairness, your stats will be reset if you switch back to
player mode from a camera mode. Use your prev/next item keys ("[" and
"]" are the default) to toggle through the players while in cam mode 2,3 or 4. |
 |
| Command for feature: |
bind F5 camera 1 - Intelli Cam
bind F6 camera 2 - Chase Cam
bind F7 camera 3 - Birdview Chase Cam
bind F8 camera 4 - TV Cam
bind F4 camera 0 - Switch back to normal player mode |

The Personal Teleporter
| This is a custom teleporter field that can be placed anywhere
by hitting the 'O' key (uses up 100 cells) Once placed, if you hit 'O' a second time,
you'll be teleported back to that location! Very nice if you want to get out of trouble
quick! BTW: CTF players beware! You can only teleport yourself, NOT the flag! It will just
be dropped at the place you teleport from... |
 |
| Command for item: |
| bind o "cmd teleport" Predefined key: "o" |
|
The Kamikaze Mode
| If you have 10 packs of explosive ammo collectively (e.g. 6
rockets and 4 grenades) and you prefer to commit suicide instead of giving another Quaker
a frag point, you can change into kamikaze mode... and maybe take some enemies with
you!... your screen starts flashing red and a timer counts down from 5 to zero... and
along with a loud "BANZAIIIII" you blow up. I recommend everyone not be near you
at this moment, because it's VERY unhealthy ;) |
 |
| Command for item: |
| bind k "cmd kamikaze" Predefined key: "k" |
|
The Kick Function
| You can now kick EVERYTHING with your feet... ammo, gibs,
dead bodies, opponents, even rockets which fly past you! :) Just place yourself near
enough to the object you want to kick and hit the 'Insert' key (...the one on the
numpad!). I can see that wicked grin on your face thinking of kicking an opponent who just
faked death into a nearby lava lake (or e.g. two CTF-teammates who got bored during
guarding their flag can start a little soccer game with the skulls of their former enemies
:) |
|
| Command for item: |
| bind kp_ins "cmd kick" Predefined key: "Insert" |
|
The Manual Vomit
For those people who can't get enough of the poison grenade:
Just press THIS key (e.g. 'V') and enjoy! ;)
(For everyone who is searching for the reason behind this feature: it's only a joke!! :) |
|
| Command for item: |
| bind v "throwup" Predefined key: "v" |
|
Real Life Sounds
| We're in the process of adding sounds from everyday life into
Chaos for your general amusement... or didn't you ever miss the feeling of having to
sneeze right at the moment you sneak up behind an enemy? They'll be played randomly, so
wait and let yourself be surprised! |
|
| Command for item: |
| no command needed |
|
Hear Your Heartbeat
| Yep! For an extra thrill you can now hear when your health
has fallen rapidly. If it drops below 40 you can hear your heart beating, and the less
health you have the faster it'll beat! (...and suddenly, it won't beat at all :) This is
both funny and useful: as an opponent you can hear the your enemies heart if you are
standing near enough to him :) |
|
| Command for item: |
| no command needed |
|
Map Rotation
| Yep! We have written a new map rotation system for v1.1.
Start a game, load a map and type "sv ml <maplist_file>" in the console
(you have to be the server admin to do this). <maplist_file> stands for one of the
.txt files in the subdir "maplists" in your Chaos directory. Just type "sv
ml q2dm" for example, to load the maplist q2dm.txt in the maplists directory. The map
rotation is NOT active, yet. To start rotation, type "sv ml <x>" where x
stands for: "1" (sequential rotation)
"2" (random rotation)
"0" (map rotation off).
Feel free to write your own map lists, but be sure to use this format:
<mapname>-<ctf><lightsoff>. I.E, chaosdm1-01 stands for map
chaosdm1, ctf off, lightsoff. |
