FreeHunger (AKA Still Hungry)

Clean-room reimplementation of They Hunger in entityDef / QuakeC.

Building / Installation

Since this mod is entirely entityDef, no compiling is necessary! Just make sure
you have FreeHL installed, and place this content into your hunger folder.

Status / Changes

So far all the weapons are re-implemented, and all custom NPCs are spawning.

Currently a decent amount of unique NPC behavior/effects are missing at the moment.

Some changes:

• Changed weapon placement for THDM
  Included are .ent files that have changed the weapons placed in the default
  DM maps for They Hunger. Replacing most Half-Life weapons with TH counter-parts.

• All medkit pickups turn into the medkit weapon in DM, and each pickup is one
  ammo (or shot) that needs to be administered for health. Can be turned off in
  scripts/maptweaks.cfg

• Shovel has enhanced visual first person effects, and slowed down buff'd attack.

• Wrench has lower hit points and slightly new sounds.

• Recreated the cut Chainsaw weapon.

• Removes the homing secondary toggle for the RPG similar to the actual
  historic weapon.
