[The Mystery Items]
These are pictures of iteam I found while going through the Quake2 folders. They aren't
in the game, and since every site should have some sort of contest, I decided that I'd ask
people what they thought they were. Anyway, these are the pictures I found. Note:
invisibilty.gif is really the power screen. It's not in any single player maps, so I'm
leaving it here.
The reigning champion is D-mann, with his entry.
Sights: Obviously this is a laser sight with a red, green, or blue (user selectable for
different lighting conditions) laser for pinpoint accuracy. Includes an infrared laser
(cant see under normal white light) to be used in conjunction with the goggles. The
goggles would see the infrared laser.
Scope: User selectable 5x, 10x, 30x view magnification. It may or may not be used with
the sight.
Invisibility: Makes the user and all weapon discharges partially or completely invisible
to all players. It's power source comes from cells. It has 2 modes; Partial Invisibility
and Full Invisibility which impact cell consumption.
Goggles: Multipurpose User Wearable Optical Enhancement Goggles (MUWOEG). It has multiphase
lightwave frequency adjustment circuitry that passively covers a broad band spectrum of
light from IR to UV. It will allow the user to see IR emissions from the IR Laser Sight,
or others wearing a Cloaking or Invisibility device (UV spectrum emissions). It has an
adapter interface that connects to the blaser's powersource for indefinite power.
Cloaker: Allows the wearer to become 90% invisible and very difficult to see. It's effects
last as long as it's worn and consumes no power. It does not cloak weapon discharges.
And, then there's rob.flavell@virgin.net, who said:
I reckon that the sights and scope could have the same effect that changing your FOV to 25
would have. However, the sights could give a crosshair and the scope could give infra-red
vision making enemies show in the dark.
I think the goggles are like the IR goggles from Duke 3D The cloaker could be the Q2
equivalent to the ring of shadows, i.e. it makes you invisible except for your eyes.
