Metallicus - A gameplay mod and mapping devkit for Quake.

Metallicus is a gameplay mod and mapping devkit for Quake, created with Lunaran's Copper mod v.1.30 as its basis, with recent code changes for Copper that include mostly fixes and minor tweaks applied.

Metallicus retains Copper's refinement that improves the /id1/ gameplay without changing it too much, while adding new things for custom maps such as additional monsters and options for monsters, breakables, and ladder triggers. It remains compatible with vanilla maps as well as maps made for...

-- The added monsters include three that can be considered mini-bosses.

And what are they? Screenshots could be useful too

Good points! I edited the post to mention the name of each. For the next version, I'm planning to have the documentation in PDFs that include pictures of the monsters, so you'll be able to look at them there. Also having screenshots here is unnecessary in my opinion.

You're right, and you got me thinking and deciding to include one in the next version. A simple little map but potentially useful. Thank you.

To anyone wondering why their Dire Spider fails to cling to their lowish ceiling: I realized that the "On Ceiling" spawnflag unfortunately requires a minimum ceiling height of 320 Quake units to work. So, high ceilings needed for spiders to be lurking on. This will be clarified in the .def/.fgd in the next version.

Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to work on this mod.

Version 1.10 has been its last version.

It's complete enough.

Thank you to those who have shown interest in this mod.
