Instagib
Introduction
Instagib is a well known mod for QuakeWorld first introduced in KTPro. It has since grown in popularity and spread to other games, such as the other games from the Quake series as well as Unreal Tournament. The handling of the weapon could be compared with the railgun from games such as Quake 3, the difference being that every hit is guaranteed to be lethal. After a few years of stagnancy in the development, Deurk from KTX continued the development of the mod and first implemented it in KTX v.???. Instagib can be played on any map.
Instagib in KTPro
In the original KTPro instagib mod, instagib can be toggled on/off by typing "instagib" into the console. If the server is set to dmm8, the player will be able to use the Lightning Gun as a sort of railgun, which will shoot a thin, purple-coloured lightning straight at the targeted destination. Every kill will, regardless of the weapon used, result in 1 frag.
Instagib in KTX
In KTX, instagib settings are no longer limited to just toggling it on/off. Typing "instagib" into the console will not only allow you to toggle the mod on/off, but also to modify the speed of the weapon's reload time. The choices available concerning the reload time are "SG" (Shotgun) and "SSG" (Super Shotgun). To make any of the above changes, the server is required to be set to dmm4 first.
Weapons
The weapons available in the game are limited to the Axe and a new weapon called the "Coilgun". Killing an enemy with your Axe will award you with 2 frags, compared to 1 frag with the coilgun. The coilgun will behave similarly to a railgun, the difference being that it shoots a high-velocity coil rather than a lightning. The reload time of this weapon will depend on the mod's instagib settings (SG mode vs SSG mode, see above). Additionally to the above mentioned methods of earning frags, it is also possible to stomp your opponent to death. This will be awared with 4 frags.
