This MOD is an altered version of Elite Force (MultiPlayer) v1.20 with loads of bug fixes and 98 new
cvars to change most parts of the game. I've made changes to FFA/THM/CTF/1v1, Assimilation, Specialties,
Disintegration, Elimination and Action Hero.
GAMEPLAY:
All weapons on a map can be changed in to one type (efa_weaponsmode). ** SEE NOTE #5 **
Remove items from the map (efa_nohealth, efa_noarmor, etc.).
Give every player a Tricorder (efa_tricorder - bind [key] "weapon 13").
Swap flags around in CTF games, blue flag in red base, red flag in blue base (efa_swapctf).
cg_thirdPerson and cg_thirdPersonRange can be used without cheats enabled.
Roleplaying mode, weapons and other items removed from the game (efa_rpg). ** SEE NOTE #7 **
SOUNDS:
You can now add custom sounds to func_door, func_plat and func_button. Look in the
"mp_entities.zip" for details on how to add them to your map.
INSTALLING:
Put the "Federation" folder in the same directory as stvoyHM.exe, **NOT** BaseEF.
/BaseEF

** NOTE #1 **
efa_cloak and efa_flight adds 2 new console commands to almost all of the EF game types.
Setting efa_cloak and/or efa_flight to 0 disables them, 1 enables.
Not available in Specialties.
The two new commands are "cloak" and "flight", they can be entered in the console, or binded;
bind x "cloak"
bind x "flight"
or
bind x "cloak;flight" (replace "x" with a key not used by EF)
"Cloak" makes you invisible. "Flight" gives you a flight pack. While invisible and/or flying,
your health will reduce until both are turned off. If your health goes below 60, the cloak
and flight pack will be disengaged.
"Cloaking" code written by "AssKicka" - www.planetquake.com/code3arena - Tutorial #7.
** NOTE #2 **
This command can restrict which voting commands are available if g_allowvote is enabled.
efa_allowvote 0

- MisAdventure
- Water (drowning)
- Slime (corrosion)
- Lava (boiling)
- Crush (compression)
- Falling
- Suicide
- Gun Turret
** NOTE #4 **
"HUD Scoreboard" code written by "HeffX" - www.planetquake.com/code3arena - Tutorial #24.
Use "cg_drawscores 0/1" to disable/enable, or bind "toggle cg_drawscores".
PowerUps will not be displayed on screen when the scoreboard is enabled.
Some of the client changes have come from the "UnLagged" Quake 3 MOD written by "Haste" -
www.planetquake.com/alternatefire.
BOT code has been tweaked to make them try a little bit harder.
UI can now show up to a maximum of 1024 maps.
On the "search for servers" page, the "gametype" button can be set to scan for:
"ALL"
"FREE FOR ALL"
"TEAM HOLOMATCH"
"TOURNAMENT"
"CAPTURE THE FLAG"
"EXCESSIVE"
"FEDERATION"
"GLADIATOR ARENA"
"IN2TAGIB"
"PINBALL"
"Q32EF"
"TEAM ELITE"
Several other client and server problems were fixed with code posted on the
www.quake3world.com forums.
** NOTE #5 **
Setting efa_weaponsmode to a value between 1 and 8 will change all the weapons and ammo on the
map in to your selected choice. The Phaser is replaced by your choice of weapon.
This will not work with Assimilation, Specialties, Disintegration, Action Hero or Hypo For All.
efa_weaponsmode 1 (Compression Rifle)
efa_weaponsmode 2 (I-Mod)
efa_weaponsmode 3 (Scavenger)
efa_weaponsmode 4 (Stasis)
efa_weaponsmode 5 (Grenade)
efa_weaponsmode 6 (Tetryon)
efa_weaponsmode 7 (Photon)
efa_weaponsmode 8 (Arc Welder)
To have just a Phaser fight, set efa_weaponsmode to 0 and efa_noweapons to 1.
** NOTE #6 **
Play Quake3 maps on Elite Force with all the Quake3 Arena and Quake3 Team Arena
items/holdables/powerups/weapons/ammo/health converted to Elite Force items/etc.
efa_quake3maps can be set for either Quake3 Arena (efa_quake3maps 1) or Quake3 Team Arena
(efa_quake3maps 2). Maps that use the same spawn points (like the ThreeWave map packs) for
different games and gametypes will only spawn the one item at that point.
The "Quake3 Maps" button in the UI can only be set to "Off" or "On", with "On" being Quake3
Arena maps only, you'll have to enter efa_quake3maps 2 in the console for Quake3 Team
Arena maps.
You can use efa_weaponsmode with efa_quake3maps for a one weapon game.
** NOTE #7 **
With efa_rpg set to a value between 1-7 the phaser can be replaced, or used with a tricorder and padd,
hypo and compression rifle. All items are removed from the map (weapons, ammo, health, powerups, holdables).
The hypo will not kill players on your own team in THM/CTF.
In FFA, it the hypo will only heal the other players.
efa_rpg 1 (tricorder and padd)
efa_rpg 2 (tricorder, padd and phaser)
efa_rpg 3 (tricorder, padd and hypo)
efa_rpg 4 (tricorder, padd, hypo and phaser)
efa_rpg 5 (tricorder, padd, phaser and compression rifle)
efa_rpg 6 (tricorder, padd, hypo and compression rifle)
efa_rpg 7 (tricorder, padd, hypo, phaser, engineering tool and compression rifle)
Bind the Tricorder and Hypo to keys for easier selection.
bind [key] "weapon 10" // Hypo
bind [key] "weapon 13" // Tricorder
bind [key] "weapon 14" // Padd
bind [key] "weapon 15" // Engineering Tool
There is now a class system in RPG mode. 6 classes - Command, Security, Medical, Engineering, Sciences and Alien.
COMMAND: "/class command"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Tricorder, Phaser
SECURITY: "/class security"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Phaser, Compression Rifle (200 ammo, not recharging)
MEDICAL: "/class medical"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Tricorder, Hypo, Medical Tool
ENGINEER: "/class engineer"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Tricorder, Phaser, Engineering Tool
SCIENCE: "/class science"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Tricorder, Phaser
ALIEN: "/class alien"
Weapons/Items: Padd, Stasis Weapon
This mode will work in any standard gametype, but will only work in one of the g_pMod games,
Elimination, it also won't work if you've got efa_weaponsmode set higher than 0
(default setting is 0), or if efa_hypo is not set to 0 (default setting is 0).
The Tricorder radar can be switched on or off with cg_drawradar 0/1.
bind [key] "toggle cg_drawradar"
