Unpredictable Q4 v1.0 by Dafama (13-03-2009)

Description...:

This is a mod specially aimed at playability, gfx & fx enhancements, sound changes
GUI updates and much more for Quake IV. Now i am taking very seriously the Q4 mod
development, i have gained more expirience with them and although i have to limit
myself to not being able to use scripting, at least at the moment on Q4 mods, because Raven not letting the mod creators to use this important thing, i have to say that even in this way i am very happy with the way this mod are going, at this moment, specially the weapons and vehicles are the more tweaked but from the next v1.0 release i will start also to change the A.I. to make it smart and unpredictable !

Also i am now speeding up many weapons and specially monster anims to make the
game much harder and the action will be much faster, also the zombies will be
more scary while going at you very quick and trying to kill you !

Very special thanks to all this good people...:

Thanks to Adam MacDonald (AKA Slayer_2) for the incredible work on they're own mod Quake 4 Weapons Realism mod and specially for help me learning more Q4 things !
Thanks to TheRealSceneGraphManager for let me use they're Chromatic Shaders.
Thanks to Langencheiss to fix and update the Chromatic shaders. :)
Thanks to Maha-X for creating such a Brilliant mods !

- Any idea, tell me anything, i am very happy to have feedback from the users.
- Add impact flash for all bullet and laser weapons.
- Add a highlight effect on the zoom of some weapons like mgun for example.
- Be able to select the mode or add/remove features on the weapons, maybe including a package with some or all the weapon mods to add.
