Johnny 5 is an alternative player model available for World of PADMAN. Originally created by Derick “BrainFaUcet” Dressel for Quake 2, it was later adapted for Quake 3 Arena. It was released on September 28, 2000. The model is based on the robot Number 5 from the film Short Circuit, who names himself Johnny 5 at the end of the movie. The model has four skins: “default,” “gold,” “damaged,” and “angry.” Johnny 5 is also included as a bot.

To install, unzip the PK3 file from the ZIP file and move it to the wop subfolder in your World of PADMAN installation directory.
Since the ReadMe file explicitly permits modifications with attribution to the original author, it was possible to convert World of PADMAN with the following adjustments. Unlike Quake 3, WoP supports team colors for alternative player model skins, so versions in the corresponding team colors were created for all skins except “gold.” All skin textures were upscaled using AI for more detail, subsequently sharpened, and minor errors were eliminated or revisions were made in some places. Glowskin support was added to the model. Since WoP supports different head models for alternative skins, the head model for each skin was slightly modified. Further adjustments were necessary for the animations to correctly depict the holding and attacking with the Punchy. The original bot code was adapted to fit WoP to maintain the original character and chat lines. Bot “Number 4” was completely removed since its skin was used as the basis for Johnny “angry.” Missing sound effects were added for WoP and revised in a few places. All menu icons were created from scratch. Special thanks go to Adri{HUN} for drawing Johnny 5 for the main menu icon.
