Initial release of Violent Rumble. Took long enough...
version 1.00
Contact for inquiry or submissions for future versions:
violentrumble@protonmail.com (not frequently checked)
A 'Devkit' is available, though there is currently no documentation of new features beyond a very messy Trenchbroom FGD and awful QC notes.
I might get around to rectifying that eventually.
It can be found here: Mega.nz
(NOTE: this will likely move to a different Mega account at some point in the future)
===============================
REQUIREMENTS
===============================
Quakespasm Spiked is the recommended source port due to CSQC usage.
vkQuake seems to work about as well as QSS, but the railgun's zoom is broken in this release.
Quakespasm and MarkV should be sufficient, but your framerate should be capped at 72 to avoid physics issues with the grapple gun.
FTE is sufficient for loading maps, but CSQC has issues and some oddities may occur. Better FTE support may be looked into for a future release.
Kex Quake will likely experience various issues and isn't recommended.If you do use it, you may need to copy the music folder from id1 into the vr folder.
Dark Places is NOT supported.
Many maps require increased limits. Some require bsp2.

USAGE
===============================
Feel free to use anything unique to this mod for your own non-comerical projects.
Enjoying this so far - though I had to cheat myself more ammo on the sci-fi level with the holding cells (at least I think it was that one). This pack really wouldn't be out of place among Arcane Dimensions or Dimension of the Machine.
Asked it on Nexus Mods but just in case, I'll ask here too - which WH40k Space Marine chapter goes with the badge in the propeller-lifted hovering cathedral? It's driving me nuts that I can't find it.
The square cross with a skull is a variation on the Deathwing emblem. The game these textures were sourced from only used it in the Dark Angels chapel.
