[Feature] Mutant/Overdose mode for Possession

[NeonKnightOA]

Leaving this here so I remember details.

This is an option for Possession mode, as it's the mode that seems to fit the best. Basically, upon picking up the white flag, the flag carrier automatically gains Quad Damage/Invulnerability/Battle Suit/Regeneration/Haste until they die. The inspirations for this option are, of course, Unreal Tournament 2003/2004's Mutant and Unreal Championship 2's Overdose gametypes. Fragging the flag carrier gives 10 points to the killer.

The actual cvar could be g_possessionMutant, g_possessionOverdose or g_possessionSuperPowerMode.

Options?

&1 enables the mode, giving all powerups.
&2 enables the mode, giving just one of five powerups at random.
&4 enables the mode, giving a time limit for the flag carrier. Upon reaching this time limit, the flag carrier dies and the flag is dropped.

As &1 and &2 basically overlap, when the cvar acquires the values 3 and 7, the Flight powerup (or a holdable) is instead added to the Powerup pool.

So the resulting values may give the following effects:

0. Default mode.
1. Carrier gains all powerups on flag pickup.
2. Carrier gains one of five powerups at random on flag pickup.
3. Carrier gains all powerups + Flight on flag pickup.
4. Carrier has a time limit on flag pickup.
5. Carrier gains all powerups on flag pickup and has a time limit.
6. Carrier gains one of five powerups at random on flag pickup.
7. Carrier gains all powerups + Flight on flag pickup and has a time limit.

Reminds me about some modes in some games where who takes a certain item becomes a sort of monster/superhero/whatever, with more health and different attacks (few variants but powerful).
I can recall viewing some videos from Fortnite when Avengers Infinity Wars came in theaters, where who grabbed the infinity gauntlet became Thanos. And I'm trying to remember the name of a mod or game where the superpowered player became "the hulk"... but my memory isn't helping me.
I'm not saying we should follow that route (e.g. scaling up player model/hitbox may cause problems with narrow passages), I'm just saying your idea reminded me about such stuff.

Who has the source code for calypso mod or chaosarena mod. Or the latest version of this mod. Please help.
The idea is good. The more features the better.

Danil, what's the relationship with the topic?
Anyway, I found this link about Calypso mod https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ayo7lk6povg7nj/Calypso-2012-12-01.zip?dl=0. Unfornately its github page is gone. I don't have a link for its "chaosarena" successor (do not confuse with some other "chaos" q3 mod).
