PART 1: INTRODUCTION

Hello,
This mod, Quake 4 Reborn, is a sort of sequel to the Weapons Realism mod in the way that Quake 2 is a sequel to Quake. They're similar in theory, but they play quite a bit differently. This mod is not to be confused with Doom 3 Reborn which is totally different. Bladerunnercutter and Dafama2k7 have both helped lots with this mod. A big thanks to both of them. Murph was also a great help :) Also, thanks to LD Ash for introducing me to the rather confusing Quake 4 texture system as well as for allowing me to use his Tactical Transfer texture.

PART 2: INSTALLATION

Drag the folder "q4r", not q4r(SP), into your "quake4" folder, not your q4base folder, and then start up Quake 4, click on the tab "MODS", select "Quake 4 Reborn (SP)" and have fun!

PART 3: UNINSTALLATION

To un-install, simply delete the "q4r" folder.

PART 4: LICENSE

This mod was developed with the help of other mods. Almsot everything I have learnt so far has been from some mod or another, a big thanks to everyone on Q4 Files and Planet Quake.

PART 5: FEATURES

Time for the good stuff! The features!

---------------------
WEAPONS:
---------------------
BLASTER: Higher damage, longer charge up time but bigger, more powerful explosions. New black texture.

MACHINE-GUN: More damage, faster firing rate, smaller clips, new firing sound. New black texture.

SHOTGUN: Much more damage, much 6 shell max. New black texture.

HYPER-BLASTER: Faster fire rate and bigger clip. Has a new alternate fire which uses a scope, similar to the Machine-Gun's.

GRENADE LAUNCHER: Smaller clip, smaller explosion, huge damage. New explosion effect.

NAIL-GUN: More damaging and makes enimies magnetic when they die causing them to stick to metal for a short while.

Rocket Launcher: More powerful, bigger explosion, much better explosion and trail effects. Much lower max ammo count.

RAIL GUN: Double the damage and faster firerate. 10-shot clips. new blue-colored texture.

LIGHTNING GUN: No real changes except a few small tweaks

DARK MATTER GUN: Slower ball of death, more damage, more Q2 BFG style. Also has a scope now.

NAPALM GUN: You get start with this gun and it can hold more ammunition. Improved impact effects when an enemy is hit.

---------------------
Vehicles:
---------------------
HOVER-TRUCK: Nothing says "I got your back!" like 3000RPM! Now shoots super fast but with reduced damage, the turret is similar to an MG-42 now with an incredible firing speed but reduced damage.

HOVER-TANK: What's that? Your tank cannon is a wimp? Ah, maybe I can help. Now the tank cannon reloads a LOT slower, however the explosion is huge, more damaging, hit-scan and should flatten a Harvester in a shot or two. Machinegun is similar to the trucks one.

WALKER: How do those rockets stay in the air? They move so slow I think I could race them and win. The rockets now take longer to reload though. Machinegun is the same.

TRAM: Same as the Hover-Trucks gun but the tram itself has half of the trucks health.

---------------------
MISCELLANEOUS
---------------------
The enemies AI is slightly improved and their attacks are a lot more damaging. ALL the bodies stay, including the bosses. You start with a machinegun, like most of the marines, plus a Napalm gun as well. You also get to start with a suit of body armor (50 armor points) like you are wearing when the transport shuttle crashes. Also, you can carry 150 health and armor as a Strogg but only 100 health and 75 armor as a human. Your speed as a Strogg is almost double to what you have as a human. Also you have to hold shift (or whatever your "walk" key is) to run, you will walk when you aren't holding shift, sorry to you lazy people;) Also, some weapon ammo values have been modified as I see fit.
Your marines now have MUCH improved damage so they should be able to kick some squib ass;) But on the downside, they have 5 times less health Also, when they die they drop their weapon. There is a new texture for Tacticals and the marine weapons as well as a light for the shotgun. And of course there are a few weapon tweaks and effects added. The rest of the features are trivial or are listed above.
