Rocketland Mod Instructions
What is Rocketland?
Rocketland is a server side mod that allows players to experience widely
varying gameplay without installing pak files. The model and sounds
downloads are under 400k. Rocketland is based on the Matador and Quakeworld
source code. Rocketland source is NOT being distributed at this time
because of the need to clean up and comment the code. It should be
available on the Rocketland CD.
Rocketland allow you to play several mods in addition to deathmatch:
Practice Arena - similar to rocket arena.
Flag Arena - Capture the Flag
Fortress Arena - Team Fortress (with only three classes and no grenades/detpacks)

Rocketland specific Map variables
* rm_flags
Place a property called rm_flags on the worldspawn entity and set it
to achieve the following (note: arena bits are cleared by rocketland
if your map is not a proper ra, ctf or tf map, they are set by
rocketland if such a map is detected)
o RM_ALWAYS_QUAD = 4; //always quad, may be set in map or toggled by switch
RM_SWITCHABLE_QUAD = 8; //switch with sounds 7 toggles always quad on and off
RM_NOAMMOSPAWN = 16; //take all ammo away upon spawn,
this one is not used, ammo is taken away by default
RM_SKINKICK = 32; //kick players for changing skins
RM_PRACTICE_ARENA = 64; //practice arena
//* set by rocketland, do not set
RM_FLAG_ARENA = 128; //flag arena, overrides practice arena
//* set by rocketland do not set
RM_FORTRESS_ARENA = 256; //fortress arena, overrides flag and practice arenas,
//* not implemented yet do not set
RM_GOFISH = 512; //allows spectators to fish during rocket arena
* quad switch
Place a switch in your map with sounds set to 5
and it turns on the quad for everyone
if rmflags are set for an always quad map.
The sounds are as follows:
o sounds = 5, turn on the quad, quad damage sound
o sounds = 6, turn off the quad, meow
o sounds = 7, toggle the quad
* sv_gravity
If you want low gravity, put an sv_gravity on worldspawn
entity and set it to the desired gravity. "rand" will
not work for sv_gravity, you must spell it out.
Map Voting in Rocketland
If you want your clients to be able to vote for maps, you set rm_vote =
1. They may now vote for map changes from their console.
A typical election with three players:
* Player 1 types "vote" in his console and is now nominating a map
change.
On his screen, he sees a list of maps, and may either 2, 3 ,4 or 5
to select one of the maps he sees, hit 1 or 6 to scroll to another
list, or hit 7 for an entirely new list of 20 or so maps to pick.
BUG: after hitting 7, it is sometimes necessary to scroll with 1 or
6 several times to see the new map list.
* Now that Player 1 has nominated fragfes1, the other two players get
vote messages on their screens every time they fire a weapon. They
may either: type yes in their console to approve the new map, type
no in their console to deny it, or do nothing and the election will
expire.
* Note: if you dont have rmaps0.cfg or reset.cfg in your id1, qw, or rland
dir, you will get an error message from the server. rmaps0.cfg is
necessary for voting to work.
