About

Faith Deathmatch is a variation on normal Quake2 deathmatch, it brings the spell and choirs from Faith CTF to deathmatch, like Quake2 deathmatch the goal is to kill as many people as possible, but now with new methods.

After long amounts of research scientists have discovered  a dimension know as the warp.  The Stroggs used the warp in conjunction with their black hole generators to be able to travel  faster in space.  The warp is dangerous, a dimension brooding with hate, anger and malice, the warp is where physical laws are void and imagination takes control.  Early in earths historymankind began the worship the entity known as "God" and also his conterpart "Satan", what they didn't know was that although these entities did not exist as such, through the sheer power of  their belief the humans actually created them in the Warp.After scientists had discovered the warp humans started experimenting with it and with grim  inevitablity they discovered what they had been worshiping for thousands of years was real.  Growth of religon was exponential with that the power of the entities in the warp grew as well.Soon the entities became so powerfull that they were able to leave the warp in the form of their avatars, then came the religous wars that were to last centuries and tear the galaxy apart.

Although there were massive battles between the two religons, there were inner conflicts as well, the various denominations within the christian and satanic faiths fought with one another to gain complete control.Faith Deathmatch is about the struggles of the denominations for control.

Start Quake2 with the following command line:quake2 +set game faithdmthen connect to a faithdm server.

Faith Deathmatch has no new server option other than the standerd Quake2 v3.20 ones.A Faith Deathmatch server is run like a standard Quake2 server.  Please remember to set <+ set deathmatch 1> so for a dedicated server the command line would bequake2 +set game faithdm +set deathmatch 1 +map q2dm1

Each faith (christian or satanic) has varius choirs to seperate the levels of power.  By sacrificing more people to your god you can gain power.

With each new choir comes the ability to cast spells, to cast spells you need mana, you start the game with one point of mana and you gain one point of mana per kill, and lose one point for every spell you cast.  The level of your mana is the number to the right of your score. To access the spell menu use the command "spell" at the console.  I recomend you bind a key to it.
I'll leave you to find out what each spell does....
