Thanks Mr D, but the email is dead.

I've been searching for a decompiler in hopes of reverse engineering the insanity.dll file, but its been so long since I've done anything like that, I can't even find a place to start. If only I hadn't spent the past 20 years drowning brain cells in alcohol....

No worries ... I have the version MrD found in functioning order now. I have renamed it Shredder and have a server running it. I will be tweaking it as time allows (and as I hopefully figure out what the hell I'm doing!) Its amazing how difficult it is to do the simplest thing when ya don't have a clue! I'd like to have "EARTHQUAKE!" displayed in the center of the screen during an earthquake ... so far I've found about 50 ways to NOT have that happen. I have several programming books around here somewhere, but I'm saving them as a last resort.


Anyone looking for a different brand of KP should check out Insanity (or Shredder). Ya just can't go wrong with a jetpack, laser trip wires, prox grenades, a one-shot kill shotgun, earthquakes, and a couple things I still haven't made proper use of like homing rockets and a sniper rifle.

First, a quick overview of my "vision" for Shredder, which will come from any/all source code I can copy/steal and otherwise screw with:

1. Shotgun from hell. Pipe from hell. (1 hit kills)

2. Completely silent flight.

3. Proximity/Impact grenades that can also be detonated all at one manually.

4. Rapid fire rocket launcher (in process).

5. Laser trip wire (in process).

6. Fun stuff like unlimited cursing, earthquakes and other natural disasters (in process).

7. No pistol or tommygun. Player will spawn with random weapon (in process).



This MOD is intented to be fun and releave stress, not increase stress. Granted, I'm twisted. Being able to swoop down on an unsuspecting victim and smash their skull in with a crowbar is, well, funny to me. Being whacked by a meteorite in the middle of an hmg duel would have me rofl.



Anyway, on to game control. Players spawn with the jet pack, so everyone has one. Once activated, your jump key moves you up, crouch key moves you down, other movement keys work as if you were on the ground (forward, backward, turn, etc.). The grappling hook is exactly the same as in hitmen. There is code for a sniper rifle, but I haven't put a sniper rifle in any maps because it doesn't fit with normal game flow - if there was a really big map with about 8 players it would make sense, but how often will that happen. Telefrag grenades and homing missiles both have code, but I have not tested or proven either!



Anyone with modeling experience, I am in need of a much cooler looking grenade, and a laser generator. I'm willing to try anything, but I am NOT artistic.



Once you enter the Shredder server, you will have a shredder folder in your kingpin folder. As the news post states, you will need to download the insanity client files and put them in your shredder folder. Iwill eventually update the pak file, but for now, just use the insanity one.



Here's what my autoexec.cfg file looks like in my shredder folder, you should have something similar:



// Do not change anything in the alias section



alias +hook "hook action; hook shrink"

alias -hook "hook stop"



alias +shrink "hook shrink"

alias -shrink "hook stop"



alias +grow "hook grow"

alias -grow "hook stop"





// here is where you set your keys

// only change 'u', 'o', 'i', etc. to whatever key you desire



bind u +hook // hook on/off toggle

bind o +grow // for sliding down the chain

bind i +shrink // for climbing up the chain



BIND 9 "use sniper rifle" //LIKE ANY OTHER WEAPON KEY

BIND = "USE JET PACK" //ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE JET PACK

BIND a "HOMING 0" //HOMING ROCKETS OFF

BIND s "HOMING 1" //HOMING ROCKETS ON

BIND q "EXPLODE" //TO DETONATE GRENADES MANUALLY

BIND w "NADER_TYPE" //SWITCH BETWEEN PROXIMITY GRENADES AND TELEFRAG GRENADES

BIND e "LASER" //ACTIVATE LASER TRIP WIRE

I'm taking a break from working on Shredder until July. I'm trying like hell to finish working on my "project house" (handyman special, fixer-upper, whatever you want to call it) with whatever free time I have. It seemed like a really good idea 3 years ago when I bought it ... times change. haha Turned out to be one hell of a time consuming "hobby". Anyway, when I free myself of that I will get back to work on Shredder.
