Action Quake:Espionage Scenario Development

The Scenario Depot, a good place to get started with Espionage scripting. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it has many scenarios and tips for scenario creation.

How-To's are not available in this version of AQ:E. How-To scenarios may be available in the future releases of AQ:E--if someone wants to write 'em up who knows the scripting language, eh. However, there are scenario templates. If you know a little bit about coding, it should be incredibly easy to figure it out.

You should check out the automated Espionage Scenario Maker made by Blaze included with the AQ:ETE 4.6b support package. You can find this program along with some example scenario files and information in your /quake2/action/devel/ directory.

The templates go as follows:

ctb_with_flag_team_func_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios that contain the info_flag_team1 and info_flag_team2 spawn functions (AQ:E uses those spawn points to spawn the flags
  
  example maps: blockwar, ctbcity

ctb_with_noflag_team_func_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios that do NOT contain info_flag_team1 and info_flag_team2 spawn functions. This requires a little bit more work; any map that is out there can be scripted for AQ:E

etv_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios for Escort the VIP

ofc_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios for One Flag Capture

atl_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios for Assassinate the Leader

frd_template.scn

• This is the template you would use to make scenarios for Find, Retrieve/Defend

**NOTE**

• To find the exact location (this is needed for force-spawning stuff) on a map. simple go into console and type 'viewpos' it will give you your X, Y, and Z position. Copy those down. It should look like:
  
  ( 31 -494 20 ) : 349
  
  The numbers in the parentheses are important! Also, if you want to comment stuff out, simply put a // on the line you want AQ:E to skip over (good for debugging).
