Copper Vein posted:Does the Alt Weapons Pak for Quake not work if your Quake folder has un-packed Pak0 and Pak1 files? If you're trying to have some modified bits of content that replace other bits of content, be aware of how Quake prioritizes stuff: * Quake has the name of a file it wants to get content from, let's say a texture or a model, and it will go looking for it. * Quake will look in “id1” first, then look in the “qw” folder if it is a QuakeWorld engine, then finally look in the folder indicated by the “-game” command-line option (if any). * Within a given folder, Quake will look at loose/unpackaged files first, and then look inside “.pak” files (and “.pk3” files if the engine supports that). “.pak” or “.pk3” files are examined in alphabetical order. * The last matching file that it finds is the one that it uses. It doesn't sound like your situation would cause a problem, but maybe I'm misunderstanding it. e: vvvv KozmoNaut is probably on to something. If you've removed your pak0 and pak1 files, you need to rename any other pak files in there. Quake always starts with pak0, reads in numerical sequence, and stops at the first missing pak file.

Copper Vein posted:Does the Alt Weapons Pak for Quake not work if your Quake folder has un-packed Pak0 and Pak1 files? I couldn't get the Alt-Weap pak to work when it was originally posted, and it still doesn't work with the Easy Quake Zip that Dominic White recently posted. I think it needs to be named sequentially, so for instance I have pak0.pak and pak1.pak in my id1 directory. The alt weapons pack only works if I name it pak2.pak and put it in the id1 folder. I had the same issue with the improved shambler model, too.

Aren't unpacked files examined last? So you can easily override stuff in the pak file without having to pack it down, while developing etc. Because if that's the case, then having the base game unpacked, and a weapon model override mod as a pak file next to that, the base files will override the mod.

nielsm posted:Aren't unpacked files examined last? Don't think so nope. I did a quick check of the code just now and I think I'm remembering it correctly. Also, the original reason I found out about this was from a situation where an autoexec.cfg included in a pak file was taking precedence over my "loose"/unpacked autoexec.cfg. The usual/easiest way to override content is to put it in a mod folder instead of in id1.

Thanks for the input. I found the .paks in an old install and that cleared everything up; it was most likely the file numbering. The new models aren't to my taste though. I'm gearing up to play through Dopa, with White's easyquake.zip Quakespasm install, and I noticed that with the default settings that the .zip uses for transparencies, I can't see models when they are on the other side of a transparent layer. So I couldn't see and enemy who was underwater even if the water is set to transparent. How do I fix this this? I have limited memory of r_novis and the like from the GLquake days, but I don't know if that applies directly to Quakspasm. I also remember dicking around for hours in and old Darkplaces install to get the water to be both transparent and reflective to adjustable amounts. At the time I found this to drop FPS too much even in default maps, but that was several GPUs ago. Can I achieve a similar result in Quakespasm?

Al Cu Ad Solte posted:https://soundcloud.com/nightdivestudios/system-shock-soundtrack-zircon-jonathan-peros-ethical-constraints-removed-ss-intro-remix to me it seemed like the remix only started to sound like System Shock in the last 30 seconds. The first 20 minutes just seemed too loud, too tinny, and did not seem horror inspired. The problem I foresee with it being "too loud" is that it won't be an ambient soundtrack anymore, I can't imagine an intro like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID2BEXJ4IKc with something like what the remix sounds like, it's now too distracting. I could say the same about the rest of the soundtrack for System Shock, because I much preferred it to SS2, in SS2 it was a lot more in your face whereas in SS it felt more ambient and intrusive, especially in later parts like Engineering. Of course what I really will be bummed out is if they change the tacky elevator music

Yeah, I'm not really digging the theme remix. Standalone, it's okay, but in the context of it being used in lieu of the original for a remake, it's way too in-your-face with the percussion. Of course, I'll need to see how they intend to fit it into the intro to be absolutely certain...Cat Mattress posted:I think D2TWID's MAP33 is much better than D2's MAP33.

There are a few promising (or backpedaling?) official comments regarding music on the SS Kickstarter page:quote:Don't you worry. Part of that audio budget is going toward a modular synth setup for more of these synthetic cyberpunky elements in the game. There will definitely be a stronger balance than in the demo between the dramatic/emotional strengths of acoustic instruments and the cyberpunk and techy elements of synthetic design. quote:I have been pushing for an optional mode with a procedurally-based layering version of the remixed soundtrack if we hit that point, but the question really comes down to, at that point, the coding support and if we have the resources/bandwidth to make that happen from an engine perspective. quote:the score is intended to be a hybrid between electronic cyberpunk elements and traditional dramatic/horror orchestral elements.

What kind of graphics hardware you got in there? One alternative that can still run bsp2 maps (and looks similar to Quakespasm) is Fitzquake Mark V. Between these couple of zipfiles here you'll have executables with a GL renderer, software renderer, and DirectX renderer to choose from: http://quakeone.com/proquake/interims/mark_v_20160207_windows.zip http://quakeone.com/proquake/interims/mark_v_20160207_directx.zip One of those might do you better. e: also, if you're not using a recent version of Quakespasm (0.90 or later), you could try upgrading.

If entities "disappear" when crossing a water boundary, that means that the maps were not originally created with transparent water in mind. In that case you might want to just set r_wateralpha to 1.0 turn off transparent water. If however you want transparent water you have a couple of options:
I'm not sure about water-reflectivity stuff. That might be specific to DarkPlaces.

I can't remember where I saw this so I'm talking out my butt but I believe the person who was working on it wanted to get other things out of the way because it's going to require reverse engineering Blood. Also I can confirm that the GoG version works on 64 bit Windows 10 at least.

I just fired up Chasm: The Rift for the first time in years in DOSbox and it runs pretty drat slow. No way in hell am I running this in 640x480 like I did way back when  Not that I have any intention of doing this because I'm not patient enough, but would using FreeDOS offer better performance than DOSbox? I have a feeling the answer is: "yes, if your hardware is supported and the game is compatible with it."

Because as far as the whole rights ownership situation, it is the less "bad" situation. We all know that Randy Pitchfork is an rear end in a top hat even if others say he isn't. We all know that Gearbox is even worse than EA but considering that we can't do a thing, Terminx is at least getting something to start with.

Frankly, I don't trust Gearbox as far as I can throw them, and throwing corporate buildings with staff inside doesn't get a whole lot of distance in the first place. Here's to hoping that TerminX gets treated well.

I'm only glad Battleborn is tanking because that along with Borderlands 2 has the most retarded liberal hippy bullshit 'humour' that's about as funny as terminal cancer. In later expansions and Battleborn they absolutely crammed it down our throats. I don't know who the writer was/were but they clearly thought very highly of themselves.

It was released back in April and only had a 20% discount in the sale. Current players? 1535. I've also been playing Age of Empires 2, a crusty old RTS first released in 1999 and which was put on steam about three years ago, the steam version is notorious for its lag and glitches as well and the last update was a new expansion last year. It is on a huge discount at the moment I must admit and only costs 3 euro. Current players? 10,226. Battleborn, a massive new AAA shooter that combines the popular genres of FPS and MOBAs brought to you by the people who made the popular Borderlands series, published by 2K, released in May of this year and currently a steal at 50% off! Current players? 745. Oof, Oof.
