Slidematch

Gameplay modifications built around Quake 4-styled crouchslidng, among other gameplay tweaks.

Supports FFA, TDM, Duel, and CTF.

Protip: Bind Crouch to Right Click for better crouchsliding skills!

• Crouch Sliding: Enabled
  
• Ground Friction: 6 (Default: 6)
  
• Ground Movement Speed Max: 270 (Default: 320)
  
• AutoHop: Disabled
  
• BunnyHop: Disabled

Autohopping and bunnying are diabled to encourage crouch sliding over normal QL movement.

On a sidenote, the ground movement speed is the same default speed for Elite Force 1.

• Crouch Sliding Friction: 0.625 (Default: 0.5) - This is higher friction than default crouch slide settings, resulting in slower speeds
  
• Crouch Slide Time: 1500ms (Default: 2000ms)

After some testing, I found these crouch sliding values to be good enough to give a rythem to the mechanic over the defaults.

• Weapon Raise Time: 50ms (Default: 200ms)
  
• Weapon Lower Time: 0ms (Default: 200ms)

Near instant weapon switching, what's not to love?

• Weapon Cooldown: 75ms (Default: 100ms)
  
• Damage: 5 (Default: 5)

Quake Live nerfed the MG after the weapon loadouts were introduced, and added the Heavy Machine Gun to take it's place.

Rather than un-nerf it, I think it's better to give it a more defined role of being a spammy, SMG-like gun to pepper unarmoured foes with.

• Damage: 3x10 (Default: 5x10)
  
• Damage, Outer: 5x10 (Default: 5x10)
  
• Damage, Max*: 60 (Default: 100)
  
• Weapon Cooldown: 375ms (Default: 800ms)

Note: QL's Shotgun fires 20 pellets, with 768 range (by default)

The shotgun now acts similar to other games semi-auto shotguns, and is generally an upgrade from the MG at close to medium range.

• Damage: 100 (Default: 100)
  
• Weapon Cooldown: 600ms (Default: 800ms, I think)

The grenade launcher is now more spammy.

• Damage: 33 (Default: 20)
  
• Weapon Cooldown: 125ms (Default: 100ms)
  
• Projectile Speed: 2250u/sec (Default: 2000u/sec)
  
• Self Knockback: 2.6 (Default: 1.3) - Compensation buff to still allow plasma climbing

The Plasma Gun is now similar in behaviour to Q4's Nail Gun; a high damage, slow projectile variant of the Q3 Plasma Gun.

• Damage: 75 (Default: 80)
  
• Weapon Cooldown: 1500ms (Default: 1500ms, I think)

The rail gun needed a minor nerf. I would have changed it further, but sounds would need to be replaced.

• Damage: 8 (Default: 6)
  
• Damage, Falloff: 4 (Default: 0)
  
• Falloff Range: 384u (Default: 768u (when enabled))
  
• Weapon Cooldown: 50ms (Default: 50ms)

The damage and range is increased, but when it hits outside of effective range, it's weaker than the machine gun.

• Gauntlet - Fine as it is
  
• Rocket Launcher - I think it's perfect as is; Q1's projectile was too fast, and Q2's was too slow.
  
• BFG10K - Would need major modifications to turn it into a UT Redeemer-like weapon (sounds, sprites that fit the new AoE etc.), and I don't feel like doing that.
  
• Team Arena Weapons (Chaingun, Nailgun, Proximity Launcher) - There aren't many maps with these, and even fewer are worth playing (Japanese Castles comes to mind). Not a priority for me.
