Introduction
Capture the enemy flag, capture the enemy team (kill all enemies), and fight for your
freedom (if you are captured).
In many of these mods you will be required to bind keys to various game commands that were not included in the original Quake II. To bind a key to a command you will need to do the following:
The object of the game is CAPTURE THE FLAG, CAPTURE THE ENEMY TEAM, and if you are captured (killed in battle) you will wait in line to fight a 1 on 1 deathmatch for your freedom.
CAPTURE THE TEAM means just that, kill every enemy you see and if you can get all of them into the detainment cell then you get a CAPTURE! You get points based on the same point system as a FLAG CAPTURE!. Each team member gains bonus points from a TEAM CAPTURE! as well.
If the enemy team gets all of your team in detainment then the enemy team gets a CAPTURE! and you are all released for the next round.
If a member of the enemy team dies, they get CAPTURED! into the detainment cell with you. The server will choose the next 2 players in line to fight a 1 on 1 deathmatch within the deathmatch arena. The winner will gain freedom back into the game, and the loser will go to the back of the line.
If the enemy team captures your flag, you are all released and the winning team gets major bonus points for the captures. However, the winning team does NOT get released. They must fight 1 on 1's or wait for their flag to be captured.
1 ON 1 Deathmatch
When the server picks the 2 players who are next in line to play for their freedom.
They are spawned in the DM area with Red armor, and all available weapons (Except BFG and
Energy Cannon) but limited ammo.
The first player to frag the enemy player wins and gains his/her freedom. The loser goes to the end of the lineup in detainment.
If both players are standing at the end of the time period (60 second default) then the player with the most health wins the match.
Skins, Models, and Armor
Currently MALE and FEMALE player models are fully supported. Future packs will be
released with more player model support.
The skins are custom and allow the players to SEE what kind of armor the enemy has on. Green, Yellow, and Red armor will all show on the players armor plating. If a player has NO armor, and has health below 50, they will show damage (bloody skins).
Navigating the In-Game Menus
The in-game Menu is controlled by the default inventory key bindings, they are listed
below in case you have changed your default configuration:
Advanced Server Information
Server-side CVARS are used for setting options. You can get the entire list of these
options by typing serverinfo in the server console.
SET any option by typing in the word SET followed by the option name, then the option
parameter, for example:
SET STDLOGFILE 1 (This would turn ON Standard Logging of all server activity)

flag

0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled (default)
Map Loops:
The file "maploop.cfg" is located in your CAPTURE! directory. This file can be
opened with any standard ascii text editor.
By entering in the map names in the format provided, you can force CAPTURE! to run the maps you want in the order that you want. After the last one in the list CAPTURE! automatically goes back to the first map in the list.
This is very usefull if you want to mix in id Software's CTF maps with CAPTURE! - CAPTURE! will recognize a map if it does not support the enhanced gameplay features and will drop down to the standard CTF rules. A bonus is you get to use the new TECHS and OFFHANDHOOK as well as all the other options such as Fast Weapon Switching, Virtual Armor, Damage Skins, Spawn-Protect, Logging, etc!
Standard Log File Support:
STDLOGFILE 1 turns on Standard logging. Frags and captures during the progress of all
games will get appended to this logfile located in your Quake2 directory named: STDLOG.TXT
You can track almost everything that happens worth tracking in this file. You can extract this information with great programs such as GIBSTATS (http://www.planetquake.com/gibstats)
Making Skin packs for CAPTURE!:
If you want to make skin packs for CAPTURE! and support the full armor and damage range for a model, contact Kunani and he will make sure its packaged and sent out in the next official release.
