Download IGPack V1.1! - 41.1 MB

After almost 15 months of working, tweaking, testing, eating cookies and nachoes, taking breaks, and then working some more, IGPack is finally ready for public release! I tried my best to time the release to be at the same time as the release of 97d3 so it would make this holiday ultra awesome. So Merry Christmas Skulltag community, I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor!

Want some screenshots? Sure! You can view screenshots of every map on my blog!

For those of you who haven't been following the project's progress, the Community Instagib Map Pack (or IGPack for short) is a set of deathmatch maps originally compiled to encourage games of Instagib. The maps also serve double duty as regular deathmatch maps and they can be played with just about any deathmatch variant you fancy. The pack consists of 31+2 newschool maps varying in size, detail, layout, and flavor by the Skulltag community and beyond. Other tasty features include:

A fully working reloadable Railgun which allows you to reload whenever you want by pressing the alt-fire key.
A new side-variant of Instagib called 'Altgib' which uses modified Karasawas instead of Railguns.
Three new weapons for non-modified DM: Karasawa, Nailgun, and Prox Launcher (see below for descriptions)
Lots and lots of new graphics, sounds, bots, and skins.
A new, [somewhat] comprehensive campaign called 'Knee Deep In GIBS'
A glorious, client-side gib system.
Fancy new smooth particles for you fancy OpenGL users.
A new color pallete which alters the blues and greens.
A script which removes the OpenGL midtexture light gradients for software users.

- Karasawa - The Karasawa is a powerful, high-density plasma rifle. It was developed from a version of the UAC Plasma Rifle after a breakthrough was made in harnessing and containing high-density plasma. It was developed in the International wing of the UAC in Japan, thus it's odd Japanese name. The weapon is capable of firing a highly concentrated bolt of plasma at high velocities. The bolts obtain an elastic state while traveling through the air which allows them to bounce off of hard surfaces until it's energy fades. The weapon has no problem ripping through flesh and bone; in fact the bolt does not slow when moving through a target. It will only dissapate when it's energy depletes on it's own. This feature allows you to fire through many enemies at once, much like a Railgun. It's recommended that you use this weapon at mid-to-long range; however it's effectiveness diminishes in large, open areas.
- Nailgun - The Nailgun is a cross between a shotgun and a chaingun. It fires ultra-hard titanium nails with razorsharp edges in a spread pattern. This weapon has a high rate of fire making it ideal for mid-to-short range fire against numerous enemies.
- Prox Launcher - The Prox Launcher (or 'Proximity Mine Launcher') is a personnel-class mine layer. It's primary function is to create defensive perimeters or to help contain sectors that have been sealed off. Once a target enters the mine's proximity, it explodes with a very large blast radius. The mines in this version of the Prox Launcher have a timed feature which detonate the mines after a few seconds. It also has a new feature which allows the user to remotely detonate all laid mines using the altfire. The fire rate of this weapon is relatively slow and the ammo capacity is very small. This weapon is best used in a defensive manner rather than for assaulting targets.

CREDMAP: IGPack Credits -by- ClonedPickle

I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that I have been working almost non-stop for the past few weeks trying to get IGPack ready for release by the end of the year. In fact I was up this morning after opening presents working out the last few things I had on my list to tweak/fix! Hopefully everything is working as it should

. I'd like to take the time to thank the mapping and testing team; if it weren't for you guys, I would never be able to make something as ambitious as this. I'd like a special thanks to go out to Catman, Wartorn, and alien8! Thanks so much for helping me out with test servers and setting up mirrors for the final test builds...that helped me out more than you know! I'd also like to thank ClonedPickle; I know you were down to the wire to get the CREDMAP done...but you did an exemplary job man! I truly hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed working on it. I know the rest of the contributors worked very VERY hard on this and they, as well as myself, would really appreciate it if the community played it

.

Also, one last note; if anyone happens to find a crippling bug while playing on or offline, please let me know!. I certainly hope something like that doesn't happen and we did test the final builds pretty thoroughly, but with me and my horrible memory you just never know. If such a bug pops up, I will fix it and get a new version up ASAP.

Enjoy guys! And Merry Christmas

[EDIT v1.1 Release]

@pun1sh3r: Yup, I see it D:. I've already fixed it, though I'll wait a bit longer to see if any other bugs are found before I release an update.

<CP8> Catman · **Posted:** Thu Dec 25, 2008 9:45 pm

Mirrors are done. PM me about 2 hours before you want the public fix to be out so I can put out mirrors.

[Jetsons] Whoo · **Posted:** Thu Dec 25, 2008 10:14 pm

I'll host this once I install my memory tomorrow. It'll appear as: [DOOM2HQ] InstaGib Community MapPack

Posted for reminder: remove red fade on D2IG30 (In MAPINFO)

Also, I'll experiment around with that gib code so I can try to stop the mysterious flying bodies.

Ok, just finished playing through all of the maps with some guys. I've got a small list of things to do tomorrow for v1.1. I kind of anticipated having to make some fixes after the initial public release...I need to fireproof everything that I can before I upload it to /idgames.

@shooter: Thanks for posting the reminder, I appreciate it!
@Whoo: Cool man, thanks! I might hop in and play some after I make my fixes :]
@Catman: You got it, thanks for your help!
