Too painful to be a dream. Too real to be a nightmare.

>>4291394
This is objectively Ranger's best quote im that game

Which Quake game is the easiest to setup to be playing online and how to get in touch with active communities out side if game?

Get back in your fucking general and quit making offshoot threads.

>>4287370

What are some good places to download quake maps (Preferably single player)? I want to try some maps I saw from The Quake Grave but quaddicted seems to be down. Any other alternatives?

HUUH

>>4291613
People make offshoot threads to guarantee discussion about non-Doom FPSs

>>4291654
>>4291613

I don't mind the offshoot threads. Better than /vr/ acting like BUILD never fucking existed 99.9% of the time. Hell, even Quake gets second fiddle in there.

>>4291408
are you beav? you're pretty good dude, I'm moonman but havent been on lately cause Im moving

That pastebin seems out of date or uninformed. Everyone uses Q2PRO or R1Q2 for Quake 2 MP/speedrunning.

>>4291613
it's not an FPS general if people only talk about doom

>tfw update for pic related will NEVER EVER come out

>>4293034
who is earth?

>>4293039
it's wolfenstein 3D with some liberties taken like adding in a flamethrower

Why is Q2 rocket launcher so bad?

>>4293046
it's not BAD its just objectively worse than quake 1's god tier mininuke launcher due to smaller splash and velocity
still worth using even in 1v1s but you can't use it the same way you would in quakeworld since its way more situational

>>4293054
also worth mentioning a criminally underrated quake 2 weapon is the hyperblaster at low ping since it pierces one level of armor meaning if your opponent has red armor, it only negates the same amount of damage as yellow armor

>>4293042
ahhhh well he had a flamethrower in the mac version 3d0 version too I think cause i think it was based on mac

>>4293046
dude it rules the only downside is that its slow, it hits like a fucking mac truck though

>>4293103
>>4293046
quake 3 is bad it might be quicker but it takes like 5 direct hits to kill someone full health and armor

>>4293124
you might be thinking of quake live where they nerfed splash damage
it probably takes longer to kill someone in quake 2 because of how the armor system is tiered like quake 1

>>4293173
I like the tiered armor system made the red armor worth it. I am talking about quake live I wasnt aware it was such a big change I havent played vanilla quake 3 in forever

>>4293253
I prefer tiered armor as well. CPMA brings it back for Q3 which is nice.

Quake 2 King of the Hill starting up soon. Anyone can sign up.

>>4292718
whats up moonman! beav over here! haha this place is hilarious! good luck with the move!

>>4293046
why are you making excuses for being bad at Q2 rocket launcher :) try the railgun instead glhf!

>>4293350
What is King of the Hill? That like Domination mode in Call of Duty?

>>4292938
Q2PRO! server browser built into the game? mouse works in menu? RIP R1Q2

10v10 on the outlands!

love this map lfctf6 mines of hell!

I just had "one of those" weird ideas again: MODELDEF could be used as an aliasing system for unrestricted (hud/weapon) sprite names. You know how every model based actor in a mod can use MDLA or something for it's sprite simultaneously? Well if you used a single sided flat plane model for every weapon, you could change the Skin property in between frames for each of them.

So for example you'd have your RLDA A[...]Z frames in your weapon reload state, and the modeldef assigns something like

Skin 0 "Phlebotonium_gun_reload_frame_01.png" etc to them.

Anyone ever played Ultraviolence?

>>4294275
It's a show set in Texas about a man who sells propane and propane acessories

Any other fans of the N64 version of Quake II?

I enjoyed the original stages and LOVED the split-screen multiplayer. Can't beat couch co-op in gaming.

>>4294360
looks like lfctf2

>>4294379
oooh yeah god dangit bobby!

>>4294275
its 1v1 and whoever wins is challenged by another player on his choice of map

>>4294360
Yeah that's a good map for FFA and TDM.

>>4294270
welcome haha I love this place too, I cant wait to get my PC set up at my gfs place. So I can play some damn quake 2 again.

I'm trying to find some old map a somewhat popular quake server used to play on years ago. It was a literal movie theater lobby as a map, that's all I can remember.

>>4294360

It's fun for FFA. I need to play it again.

>>4294823
you sure you weren't playing duke nukem

>>4294924
I remember it was for quake, it was a quake world team fortress server. I don't think the map required team fortress, it might work in vanilla. I remember there was some sound clips in the map like a pepsi jingle.

Best Quake for multiplayer?

>>4294958
Quakeworld for 1v1 and TDM
Quake 2 for CTF and mods
Quake 3 for CPMA

>>4294967
ok thanks, also is Quake 1 the only one with a completely freeware multiplayer?

>>4294982
all three can be played for free
i can link them when i get home

>>4294989
Really? Without piracy?

>>4294943
It's on the AGR server, they use it in between maps

>>4294997
Would you happen to know the name of the map?

Why they didn't release Quake on psx? it was released in saturn and n64? anybody has info about that?

>>4295058
Wasn't it canceled? Because PS1X did get Q2

>>4294992
http://nquake.com/
http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0wfFzzjvCheTVVzSmdnQ1BLUms (To save your config, do /writeconfig my , otherwise use /writeconfig autoexec)

>>4295127
Thanks so much, so all of these are completely legal ways to play quake mp right? I know nquake uses the shareware version of Quake 1 but Idk about the others.
Also where's the download link on the tastyspleen website? I can't seem to find it

>>4295064
IIRC Lobotomy who did the saturn port had a playable build of Quake but couldn't find a publisher. Kinda glad PSone didn't get it though.

>>4295134
the big button that says DOWNLOAD

>>4295159
I don't see that

>>4295167
Go to the front page of tastyspleen.net

>>4295210
yeah it just redirects me to the forum

>>4295167
that's not the quake 2 starter page

>>4295220
Idk I'm just going to try to play Quake 1 for now
I finished installing nQuake, now where's the executable file that I'm supposed to run to play it? I'm in /nquake/ but I can't find it in there

>>4295221
this is what the page should look like
it is not the front page of tastyspleen
also to boot up nquake launch ezquake.exe

>>4294997
Alright, I found them finally. Turns out AGR has multiple intermission maps and two I remember them using were omcint.bsp and interlude.bsp. There might have been others, but I can find those a different time. Thank you so much dude, this memory has been bugging me for years trying to remember what it was from, and now I finally put this to rest.

Alright I'm trying to play nQuake/ezquake, but this happens when I try to join a server, what gives?
sorry for the photo of a screen, both alt-tabbing and the ingame screenshot weren't working for some reason

>>4295352
try typing this in console without quotation marks then tell me what happens "connect 34.209.167.17:28503"

>>4295357
same error, map not found

>>4295363
something's wrong with your nQuake install then because its packaged with ztndm3 by default
did you mess with any of the installer settings?
i would recommend trying to reinstall but if you're desperate i think i uploaded my nquake folder on mega which should work no problem

>>4295369
>did you mess with any of the installer settings?
Not really, but I should mention that there wasn't an executable file with my install, but there was an archive in the directory called "ezquake3.0.1-linux64-update.tar" that I extracted, and the executable was in there for some reason.
>i uploaded my nquake folder on mega
Is it a linux install? if so I'd be glad to take it

>>4295379
nah it's a windows install sorry
if you're using linux you might just want to try installing ezquake on its own and downloading the quake 1 .PAK files from the doom general

>>4295383
Alright I'll try that if all else fails. thanks though

>>4295383
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>4295428
my apologies, forgive me my lord RMS.

>>4295352
I finally figured it out, I was installing it in the /opt/ directory rather than my home directory which does work. must've been a permissions problem or something

>>4295458
May the freedom be with you my child!

Is there Quake sourceport that actually works? I tried both Darkplaces and Quakespasm, and neither of them boot.

>>4295769
become proficient

>>4295769
You are doing something really wrong... Open a CMD.. go to the directory where quakespasm and the base game directory id1 are.. and run quakespasm -basedir this_directory -game id1

>>4295134
>so all of these are completely legal ways to play quake mp right?
If you have purchased the games on physical media in the past, sure. Otherwise only the shareware episode of Quake 1 is available to you. Why are you being anal about the legalty of it? The Id Software that made these games is dead and gone. Just download the fucken files, you poofter.

>>4296046
nQuake and Q2starter are both perfectly legal either way
you can just download the .pak files for the full game and replace the demos for q1 and q2 for the full game which some mods requires

>>4295769
Extract the ports into the same directory as quake.exe and run them. That is all you have to do.

Does anyone here like ezquake? It fucks around with my configs and when I try to change setings, it never works right. Are there any multiplayer servers that require the more advanced source ports?

>>4296059
you're probably just not saving your config properly or have an autoexec overwriting your settings
fuhquake works fine though

>>4296059
same here, whenever I change my ingame settings they reset every time I exit the game

>>4296063
What is the recommended quakeworld client? I don't really care about shiny special HD models in quake, I just want it to work properly.

>>4296086
I use nQuake but if you don't want the extra stuff in the pack like the HUD then you can just grab ezQuake. I went through the .pk3s and deleted the texture replacements for weapons because I dislike them but the nQuake hud itself is quite useful. I would also recommend binding something like +rjump to mouse2 for easier rocket jumping on maps like ztndm3.

>>4294425
Quake 2 64 didn't have couch co-op, only deathmatch modes.

>Get LTK bots for Action Quake 2.
>They're good in FFA.
>But utterly shit in TDM.

why

any cool mods/maps in development right now?

any maps jams?

>>4296398
just play with real people

>>4296443
QUMP, obviously

Did the original vanilla quakeworld client have automatic file download from server if you didn't have the files? I'm thinking about playing with the original quakeworld client.

>>4296968
original quakeworld client doesn't even have a server browser

>>4297073
I'm not talking about server browser, I'm talking about automatically downloading needed files if you don't have them

>>4297092
probably but the download speed will be crippled and its overall a shit experience
why dont you use a modern client like a normal person

>>4297174
I'm just trying to get the genuine quakeworld experience. Is there any reason to use the original quakeworld 2.30 client? I can think of a few reasons for netquake, but is there a reason for quakeworld to use the original client over a modern one?

>>4297294
There is no one client to rule them all. There are some clients that are better for single player, some required for mods, some because you like it, etc. Ezquake is excellent for quakeworld multiplayer, but even though it can play single player, quakespasm is better if you want single player quake.

>>4297294
>is there a reason for quakeworld to use the original client over a modern one
No. And there's no real reason to play netquake either.

>>4297415
What about quakespasm? It's a netquake client

>>4297429
everyone uses it for singleplayer not multiplayer
don't bother with netquake unless you enjoy movement feeling like you're underwater at 30ms ping

Is proquake dead?

>>4296057

That's it? Why the fuck didn't either of them mention that in the readme? I figured it was going to work like Doom sourceports. Put them anywhere, and tell them where the resources exist.

I had a dream about Quake, it involved shooting a lot of enemies with a grenade launcher, but they where too powerful. And at some point I tried to turn on the lights but all the switches were broken, then a big enemy approached.

>>4297656
That IS how doom source ports usually work. I've never seen one that needed to be told where the wads were, maybe that's because I had the common sense to just drop them where the wads were. It's what you do. It's how it has always been. You have been doing it wrong.

>>4298395
And fucked your butt?

>>4298427
Quake 2 always was inferior to the original quake. The multiplayer was fun, but single player just wasn't as good compared to quake 1

>>4297581
If you don’t do netquake multiplayer, yes. There exist much better ports for single player and have music support.

wow just played Q2CTF surprised to see so many players!

Another Q2 tourney this time its 4v4 TDM.

anyone here ever play gloom mod?

I think Q2 has better multiplayer than Q3.

>>4305202
VQ3 has too little movement for my taste and I don't like the weapon balance.

>>4299347

quake 2 is awesome nigger, I'm replaying it right now. Q1 is elder god tier but Q2 has a lot of neat quirks that give it a lot of character. The way you can dance through the game without ever taking damage if you pay attention and read the AI, the way the enemies react to your gunfire, the feel of the guns, the screams of mad POW's... it's so fun.

skull and doomed are two underrated quakeworld maps
i wish qw community played more than 5 maps just like q2

Playing the hell out of ARCANE DIMENSIONS right NOW, holy shiiiiiieeeettttttt, it's just so RAD.

>>4307302
great brushwork in AD although i wish it had more new monsters since i've played hexen 2 before

>>4307350
the hexen 2 monsters fit quake so well though

>>4307302
is there another mod to come close to the level of Arcane Dimensions?

Malice was the best total conversion.

Why can't I connect to Quaddicted?

>>4307856
i haven't been able to for months

>>4307856
It doesn't work for me either.

>>4307856
>>4307874
>>4307879
It didn't open/work for me on Waterfox or Internet explorer but it did on Firefox (Been experimenting with browsers for multiple reasons) so that might be part of the problem. I am >>4291615
so none of you are the first to wonder what the fuck is wrong with Quaddicted. Trying a different browser might help.

>>4308501
I tested with Pale moon. Will try Chrome later and see if it works.

Here's a bizarre one. It's called X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse. It was a commercially sold total conversion. You'd go around shooting clones of the X-Men.

>>4309698
It looks like something that should have stayed as a free mod off the internet.

>>4307842
Map Jam 9 just came out and that greatly expands the Fodrian level theme to AD levels of complexity. I'd also recommend Rubicon Rumble Pack if you want the most ambitious base maps yet.

Anyone ever play d-day mod for Quake 2? It's like Day of Defeat but still being updated.

>>4297656
>>4296057
really all you need is a folder called id1 and pak0 and pak1

>>4309705
Marvel forced it to be a commercial product

The episode should be barred off once you get the rune in the first Quake, right? I think I fucking started a new save and then beat the second episode without realizing it.

>>4310119
Holy shit, it's still being updated? That mods old as shit.

>>4291297
Can someone tell me any stories of how Q3A was back in the day?

I tried to get into QL but I just can't. No matchmaking, only FFA, Clan Arena, or Freeze Tag are popular, get ass ravaged by people who have been playing this game for years, servers are either completely dead or filled with way too many Goddamn people to be enjoyable, hitreg seems off (may possibly be the servers), community servers only, and so on. 25 hours and I can't deal with it any more. I wanna play an actually good AFPS

>>4311381
hitreg in Q3A is worse than QL and rocket arena/clan arena was always popular
also Q3 had jack shit for content on launch but later on it got some solid mods

>>4311460
I knew the hitreg was worse. Worse than Q2 and Q1?

>>4311543
Q2 and Q1 netcode has been improved nowadays with higher tickrate and stuff like lag compensation for Quakeworld. CPMA for Quake 3 is a big improvement to VQ3 netcode and is probably the best of the three.

>>4309956
>Map Jam 9
>Rubicon Rumble Pack

they both sounds neat, I will check them out. any others?

There's a bug in the first Quake where you can lose a rune and have to redo the episode. You could cheat and get it back by typing 'impulse 11' in the console. But check which rune you got back when you do this.
