    Heads Up Display:
    The HUD (Heads Up Display) is constantly relaying information to you
    about the condition of your player, so it's kinda useful to know what
    the fuck it's on about.

    Health:
    At the very bottom left of the screen your health points are shown.
    The green cross beside the number fills and empties with green fluid
    depending on your current health.

    Mana:
    Directly above health is mana. This is always counting up (until it
    reaches its maximum) again the fluid inside the M reflects the mana
    in store.

    Ammo:
    If your current weapons uses ammo this displays the amount of
    ammo remaining for you. Remember that ammo is generic - the rocket
    launcher uses the same stuff as the machine-guns - so once this
    number reaches zero, it's close-combat or nothing.

    Displayed in the top right hand corner of your screen is your upgrades
    list. From top to bottom, these are the damage upgrade level, stamina
    level and health level. You know what these do already.

    If you are using an akimbo weapon, then a small dot will be visible
    either to the left or right of your crosshair. The position of this dot
    reflects which gun is going to fire next. Useful for firing down off
    ledges or for accuracy at range.

    Finally, in the bottom centre of your screen, slightly to the left, are
    displayed graphical descriptions of all the items available in Matrix
    Quake 2. Use "]" and "[" . Press enter to select the currently displayed
    item. Why you'd want to use this is beyond us, when you could just
    press a key. Perhaps you're a freaky masochist or something. Mind
    you, the film did feature disturbing amounts of leather. Anyway. To
    drag this back to the point...

Are you trying to say I can dodge Bullets

Upgrade Health:
Makes your maximum health 50 points higher per upgrade level, and sets your health to this maximum value - very useful if you're about to die. Also available in Green Disk form (somewhere on the level - replaces MegaHealth). When picked up in this form your health is not set to max.

Upgrade Stamina:
Makes your maximum stamina 50 points higher per upgrade level. Also available in Red Disk form (somewhere on the level - replaces Adrenaline and rebreather). 1 of these is required to perform teleposses.

Upgrade Damage (booyah!):
Adds 50% damage per level to any damage you do. You can find it in Blue Disk form as well - (replaces Quad)

Cloak:
Makes you a semi transparent ghost - difficult for players to spot (if in a dark area) and monsters will ignore you until you attack them. You arms and legs are EXTREMELY translucent (if you look hard you can see them). Lasts 60 seconds.

Speed:
A 15-second speed boost to get you out of or into sticky situations. Only available to people using knives or fists (it rules too much if you can use weapons too). You'll go so fast that you leave speed waves behind you. This may feel jerking on a laggy connection - not something I can readily help.

Bullet Stopping:
Stop rockets, grenades and bullets in their tracks for 30 seconds. Again because of balance, this is only available to fist or knife users. This is, after all, basically invincibility, so watch out for kungfu.

IR Vision:
All items and enemies glow red for 60 seconds. Especially useful for sniping or when an EMP Blast goes off... EMP Blast All the lights on the level are blasted out, and fizz and cackle for 30 seconds. IR Vision help here, as navigation is difficult.

Teleposses:
Often thought of as cheap, so this may be turned off in some servers. Upon selecting this command, the person with the most upgrades is targeted, and you switch bodies with them. You get their ammo, their level ups, their weapons, and their position on the level, whether that be above a vat of slime or precariously close to a crushing spinning drum.

MatrixJump:
The only power you'll NEED to bind. Point in the general direction you want to go, then cast this and you'll fly through the air. "Wheee!!!". I mean "WHOA".

Flight:
Sorry, buddies...this was taken out of v1.0, as you can MatrixJump almost anywhere where you could use fly. The only thing I miss about it is an easy way to escape acid/lava.

    Autobuy:
    This feature aims to remove the complication of binding a separate
    key for each spell. Binding something to 'autobuy' will allow the
    computer to pick a spell it thinks useful under the circumstances,
    which it will then buy for you. The autobuy feature uses highly
    experimental advanced neural-network neuron/synapse simulations
    to mimic the complex actions of the human brain*, but the system
    has a few bugs in it, and the computer might occasionally make
    kooky choices. Live with it - it's only a computer. But by and large,
    the system works well - if you are low on health, you will receive a
    health upgrade. If it's dark, you get night-vision. It's much quicker
    than...

    Buying Spells Manually:
    If you really feel like it, you can buy your spells manually. Press tab
    to bring up a menu, and select "buy spell," "buy upgrade" or "autobuy"
    by using the square brackets and enter. Do the same to select the
    spell you want to use. This is much more cumbersome than the
    autobuy feature, and only really useful if there's one spell that you
    really, REALLY want right the hell now. Choosing "autobuy" in this way
    makes a mockery of the whole idea.

    Spells/Upgrades:

    One of the major features of Matrix Quake 2 is being able to cast
    spells and "buy" upgrades. All spells and upgrades require mana. Mana
    continually increases and is depicted by the green M above the Health
    in the bottom left hand corner. There are 3 types of upgrade and 7
    spells.

    Most spells are time limited and all cost mana. Here are the costs. It
    is worth noting that only two spells can be active at any one time.
    Also, after your spells have worn off (except for Matrix Jump) there
    is a wait of a few seconds before you can buy more. This is to stop
    people spamming all the spells going.

    Integrated KungFu

    Of all the features in Matrix Quake 2, this is probably the most
    important factor in deciding a close battle. Kungfu can be far more
    useful than weapons. In most other games, kungfu is used by
    switching away from your weapons to a fist "weapon". This makes fist
    fighting rather useless, and so this mode is generally only viable for
    developers in single player games - the fist weapon is treated as a
    punishment for running out of ammo, and is generally only used for a
    laugh or when you have no ammo.

    Integrated Kungfu is different. Inspired by an unofficial version of
    Action Quake 2 which added a "offhand punch" - a close range attack
    that could be used with any other weapon selected at the time. This
    was perfect for taking out enemies camping in corners. In conjunction
    with the automatic fly kick, this made kungfu great fun, but still not a
    viable option against Action's 1 hit kill weapons and "realistic" damage.

    Integrated KungFu, put simply is a range of offhand attacks which
    require no extra key bindings. You can get close to a player, shimmy
    your controls, and pull off combos - especially useful since you don't
    have to be using the fist weapon to do Int-KF - it's always available
    to you. Here is a list of the moves and how to do them.

    I'M GONNA LEARN JU JITSU?

    Jab:
    The weakest and most rapid attack possible. Tap strafe left or strafe
    right to do it. Tap the two alternately for best affect.

    Hook:
    Quite powerful and quite quick to reload - this attack is best used
    when you KNOW an enemy is weak - not much use in combos.
    Simply tap forward while facing an enemy.

    Uppercut
    Stupidly powerful,this punch will take off the majority of an enemy's
    health. Releasing the duck key will loose this move.

    Hover Kick
    A damaging, rapid attack which can only be performed in midair.
    Very VERY useful in combination with other moves. To perform, tap
    jump in mid air. A little tricky to get timing right.

    Spin Kick
    A powerful combo finisher, and easy to pull off. Get in range of an
    opponent, then swing your view around fast (push the mouse fast
    left or right). The closest enemy to you (within range) will take
    considerable damage.

    Blocking While using fists:
    You can block kungfu attacks and only take a 1/4 damage from
    them if you walk backwards (not strafing) or stand still and do not
    attack. Instead of blood flying off your body from a connected
    punch, sparks will erupt to signify a successful block.

    Combos:
    These deserve a special mention. While finishing off weakened
    enemies with kungfu is arguably the best way to gain a kill, kungfu
    is extremely close on its own. Every time you perform a combo, a
    helpful message will popup on screen to tell you how many hits you
    did, and how much damage they caused.

    Here are some common (and useful) combos:
    Head Screw: Hoverkick, SpinKick, both in air. 100 damage.
    Triple Kick: Hoverkick, Hoverkick, Hoverkick. : 120 damage.
    Triple Kick Finisher: Hoverkick, Hoverkick, Spinkick. 140 damage.
    Mortality: Jab, Jab, Uppercut. 100 damage.
    Fish Punch: Jab x 4, (jump) HoverKick, HoverKick, Spinkick (land
    on ground). 220 damage.
    Zephro Special (Jabba the Slut): Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab,
    Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab,
    Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab,

    97 hits. 970 damage. (NB - this is only possible on a Tank
    Commander - nothing else is hard enough, apart from the bosses,
    I suppose.)

    Weapons

    This section will familiarize you with the weapons available in matrix
    quake 2 and how to use them in the correct fashion. All weapons
    models are courtesy of the Action quake team and the Dirty quake
    team. Most weapons have a secondary fire. You should bind a key to
    secondary fire. Do this by typing:
    bind +attack2 in the console.

    All weapons use ammo. Some weapons use more ammo than others.
    There is only 1 ammo type (boy did we get flak over that :). This
    means that kungfu is used more, and the player is forced to move on
    and not "camp" (remain in one palce for long periods of time). Trust
    me, it works fine.  For weapons with akimbo settings (2 guns at one
    time) you can switch between two and one gun by pressing the
    weapons button twice (set up weapons controls in the GUI or edit
    a .cfg file). Quite frankly, there is no reason to use single fire as a
    secondary fire mode is not available.

    The weapons at your disposal

    Fist of Fury:
    named after the Bruce Lee film of the same name, this
    punch is bound to knock back enemies and is useful as a combo
    finisher (see Integrated KungFu). Holding primary fire primes your fist
    for an immensely powerful punch. You do not have to let go of the
    fire button at any time, as the computer will detect any enemies in
    your way, and your fist will be loosed into the face of your opponent.
    Secondary fire allows you to constantly be punching with a fifth
    damage of the primary fire. This is very useful against cornered
    opponents.

    Gung Ho Knives:
    Similar to fists in primary fire, these knives can be used to slash
    opponent or can be thrown (sound familiar AQ2 fans? :). To slash,
    hold primary fire and run into an enemy, or simple press and depress
    primary fire. To throw a knife, press secondary fire. This uses 20
    ammo and does 50 damage. Thrown knives have an unfeasibly fast
    reload time.

    Grenades:
    These are probably the most useful grenades in gaming history. Simply
    hold down primary fire, and you'll instantly charge up a throw, signified
    by your view becoming more and more like a fisheye lens. The more
    zoomed out your view is, the faster you will throw the grenade.
    Maximum velocity is far more than than a rocket's velocity and rivals a
    bullet's!! The timer is set to one second after being thrown and will
    explode on collision. Secondary fire looses a grenade with minimum
    velocity - useful to catch out pursuers. At last, useful grenades!

    Mk 23 pistols:
    These are your starting weapons and are by no means useless.
    Primary fire fires off a shot, and secondary (in akimbo mode) fires off
    2 shots at a time. About 4 hits will kill another player, but we would
    advise you hit with 3 bullets and finish off an opponent with a hand
    to hand attack (see integrated kungfu)

    Desert Eagles:
    A more powerful but slower firing pistol and has a similar
    primary/secondary fire system to the Mk 23's. 3 hits will down an
    opponent but it's firing rate is 3.33 shots/sec compared to the mk23's
    5 shots/sec. Again, try to finish off with kungfu.

    MP5 Machine Gun:
    The third "hitscan" (bullet) type weapon is also balanced well against
    the other 2 pistols. You'll require 10 shots to down an opponent, but
    you fire around ten shots a second. Again, the primary/secondary
    modes are similar to the other pistols.

    M4 Carbine Assault Rifle:
    The big daddy. This fire shoots at the same rate as the mp5, but
    CHEWS through ammo. A target will only need 7 bullets to down,
    but this immense power is offset by the guns recoil - the knockback
    is so great that you will be physically pushed backwards. This can be
    used to you advantage though - imagine sailing over enemies below,
    hovering as a result of the recoil.

    Semi mobile Chaingun:
    Ok, so it's TOTALLY mobile. To quote the quake 2 manual: "This thing
    eats bullets like popcorn" - only MORE SO. 200 ammunition can be
    depleted within about 3 seconds, but the damage is incredibly
    devastating. It's called Semi-Mobile because you'll use up it's ammo
    so fast that you won't have moved anywhere. Primary fire shoots
    the regular quake 2 chaingun complement. Secondary fire fires off a
    wider spread short burst of bullets. Holding primary fire and
    secondary fire sends the into mental mode - you'll fire off 60 bullets
    a second in this mode. Needless to say, this weapon uses the least
    ammo per shot.

    Akimbo Pump Action Shotguns:
    I could be wrong but this may be a first in the history of the world.
    Using your incredible skills you wield 2 pump action shotguns and are
    able to reload them at incredible rates (using only 1 hand!). Why are
    the animations so shit? well, I did them if you must know. Primary fire
    fires off a single shot, secondary fires both at once. These also eat
    quite a lot of ammo - 20 per shot. You'll likely need 2 shots to take
    out an enemy (either primary sequentially or secondary in the face).

    Surface to Surface Missile Rack:
    Remember Commando? Just read the instructions and start packing
    explosives into people's cracks with these babies. The rockets are
    probably not as powerful as you expect (in order to maintain
    balance) but you can fire off your whole ammo supply in 1 shot.
    200 ammo or more and you'll fire the maximum 4 rockets at a time.
    150 = 3, 100 = 2, 50 = 1. Get above 150 ammo and watch those
    pretty swirling rockets fly. Aaahhhh. Because you'll want to use
    these a lot, when pressing fire after firing off all you ammo, you
    won't change weapons, so you can quickly pick up some more
    ammo and reuse the rockets. "It's a feature".

    Sniper Rifle:
    Everyone has their own way of doing sniper rifles. I'd like to think
    ours is the best. The sniper rifle fires off an insanely powerful shot
    which will kill other players instantly (unless the have armor or
    health upgrades). Holding down primary fire emits a green laser.
    This helps you aim up on people, but also means you won't be able
    to camp in a corner (the laser will be too obvious). The computer
    automatically picks a target monster/player which you can see
    from your current position, and zooms to the correct distance.
    The computer will always strive to keep the target player in your
    view. For instance, the target is in your sights, ready to drop dead
    when you lift your finger. He moves! And you're still zoomed in!
    This would be a big problem in most other games with a sniper rifle,
    but this game's sight simply zooms out until the enemy is back in
    your view. Secondary fire fires a shot from the hip - equally
    devastating but requiring no zooming. It's like having the railgun
    back in your hands. The Ammo use is high for this gun - 40 a shot,
    and reloading takes just over a second.

    It is possible to change the ammo use and damage off all the
    weapons in matrix quake by using the GUI, but for the settings
    to take affect, you must be the host of a multiplayer/single player
    game.

    Movement Controls -----------------

    To play Matrix Quake 2 well, you will need to know the extra functions
    provided by the Modification. The basic controls (left, right, jump, duck
    etc.) can be set up in Quake 2's options. Additional controls can be set
    up from the GUI (Graphical user interface - matrix.exe). The only extra
    movement command you will need is "matrixjump". You can bind this to
    a key with the GUI or by typing bind  matrixjump in the console. It is
    recommended that you use the mouse with freelook on (mouse
    controlling head movement) and keyboard in conjunction for this mod.
    These are tricky controls to master, but they are well worth the effort.
    Most of the controls are the same as normal quake 2,
    but using the controls in special combinations causes different effects.
    Face along a wall and you will stand on it. Hold jump next to a wall and
    you will begin to run up the wall. Releasing jump lets you drop to the
    floor. Pressing backwards while on the wall makes you backflip off the
    wall. Holding crouch while falling a great distance makes you roll and
    take no falling damage. Jumping backwards or to the side will make
    you do a midair flip automatically. Tapping the jump button in mid air
    will give you a small amount of upward velocity.

    To see all these effects, you can change to third person perspective.
    To dothis, type "thirdperson" in the console.

    Story:
    Once  upon a time there was a brother and sister
    called Hanse and Gretel. One day they decided they wanted to walk
    into the Black Forest to find the hidden cache of IRA guns. Instead,
    they stumbled onto Jurassic Park, and had to stop the Nazis from
    stealing the Ark of the Covenant. After reprogramming a killer robot
    to help them defeat a nightmarish alien that implants embryos in
    human chests, they manage to save many thousands of Jews from
    Hitler's persecution. Then they spin the Earth backwards to bring
    Lois Lane back to life, and it's like they never went into the forest
    at all, and it's all very confusing and badly done with special
    effects that put Classic Trek to shame. He's dead, Jim.

    Aren't I the best?...But seriously. You're a prisoner at the last human
    outpost, let's call it.. "Pieon". Life sucks for you, and like a review
    of a bad film, you don't care about any of the characters in the
    place. Anyway, you've got this this magnetic watch or something and
    when the guard's not looking you use a tape recorder to playback a
    tone into the keypad lock and it only fuckin opens!!! l33t haxor!! you
    use mofos? So you're sneaking down the alley, and this woman with
    the biggest breasts (plus in leather) begs you to let her out of jail.
    You're fucking horny, so you do it. It turns out that she's the leader
    of a rebel faction who want to "REINSERT" themselves. She starts
    letting all her buddies out of the cells. And she starts groping you.
    HAH you WISH! You all regroup at the Pieon Docks, and you nick
    a hover craft, and hover somewhere and speak to the evil robots
    and they're all like "give me the access codes to Pieon" and you're
    like "only if we get 'REINSERTED'" which makes you all horny, and
    they say, ok, but there can be only one. So everyone's all like "oh
    no!" coz you can't decide who goes back. So you suggest
    REINSERTION with the bird with the big tits right there and then,
    and they say nah, it's not the best way to pick. The some dork says
    to have a fight to the death in cyber space, but he's a windows llama
    so you all decide to play quake 2 but with different weapons.
    And everyone's cool with this coz they're all like "I hate this
    world. I'd rather die than go back" and they don't have GL cards so
    Q3A and UT are out of the picture. Fuckin gh3y, so the "INSERT"
    themselves into quake 2 with the different weapons and that's
    where YOU come IN! Who will be the one? Only you can decide!
    Play now to find out!

Installation:

Follow these steps to Install Matrix Quake 2 Properly.

1. Make sure you have a working copy of Quake 2 installed on your
system. Also make sure you have the latest patch
(v3.20 - available from www.fileplanet.com)

2. Unzip the content of the Matrix zip file into a directory within
the quake 2 directory called "matrix" i.e. C:\Games\Quake2\Matrix
Make the new directory if necessary. Check that "Use folders" is
checked in the extract options.

3. To run the game either: a. Use the Matrix Graphical User
Interface (matrix.exe) or b. start Quake 2, go to the
console (press the tilde key, above Tab and below Esc) and type
"game matrix" then load a map, or c. click start->run and fill in
the textbox to look something like this:
c:\Games\quake2\quake2.exe +set game matrix

4. It is highly recommended that you use a 3D accelerator card to
play the game. In software mode, some of the effects look
different to GL mode. Of course, if you don't have a 3-d card by
now, you probably don't have an Internet connection. Or running
water.

    Welcome to the Matrix Quake 2 Manual.
    Note: Most of this manual assumes you know how to play
    Quake II. If you do not, READ THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE GAME

    Varli3:Tx, Xplosif for sitting thru the excruciating process commonly
             known as building webpages, and anyone else who listens to me
             If anyone is wondering, this manual was made in 1 night, so its
             not very graphicy =(
             (Varli3 would like to know why wyv is talking in thirdperson j/k =))

    GunSights:
    A little bit about the gunsights, when using akimbo guns, these green
    sights appear. The lit up blob indicates which gun will fire next.
    Useful for setting up long shots.
