I put my Quake guns mod up on MODBB, hopefully in the right category because its confusing:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/alternative-gun-models-for-quake

Small fixes and adjustments, detailed world models, Doom plasma gun for Armagon, optional Quake-style super nailgun, different thunderbolt, Daikatana skull staff also an option. No video but I put some screens on there, and made a collage of world models

textures are extra misaligned here because the mdl importer puts uv coordinates at random pixel corners instead of keeping them centered, only noticed that after making the image.

Installation is mostly the same I thnk. I remade the muzzle flares on nailguns so they now look good or better in DP/S8 than in Spasm/Fitz.

This is really loving good.

Making some visible weapons using your stuff in my mod.

I've been working on a complete monster AI overhaul for my WIP quake mod. They now use waypoints (which are hand placed) and can basically navigate to you from one end of the map to the other. Combat is disabled for this test.

Nice! You're making me want to post pics of the map I was playing around with a week or two ago. (I should finish that!)

Oh ho ho, custom AI pathing in Quake? This is very much my poo poo. Looks like you've got things working pretty well already.

How does the vanilla quake AI pathing work? I've never really played around with it enough to test its limits. Do they use a navmesh or just calculate off the room polygons by casting rays or what?

It doesn't have anything remotely like that. There are two ways of making a monster move in the QuakeC via engine functions it can access. Walkmove() steps the monster x units in a direction. If something's in the way it simply fails. Movetogoal() is slightly more advanced but all it really is is randomly wobbling towards something. If you're interested check sv_move.c in the Quake engine source.

What are some good DOOM replacement musics? I'd like some that are mp3/ogg or whatever rather than MIDI ish stuff

There's one for Doom 2 that I really like: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/music/dimxmus it's rock/metal arrangements of the original soundtrack, but done quite differently than DOOM METAL* FOR BRUTAL DOOM , with more emphasis on Bobby Prince's weird jazz-prog-rock tendencies.

*this name always irks me, that addon has nothing to do with the noble musical subgenre

thanks!

I'm still having fun messing around with my Quake mod.

I've replaced the sounds of the fists, shotgun and double-barreled shotgun with ones "borrowed" from Doom64. I've added an extra couple of animation frames to the super shotgun for its firing phase, and added animations to all 3 for when you change weapons.

Smooth. Is the switch still instant, can you shoot while it's sliding up? I wonder if that would make players instinctively wait for the anim to end before shooting. Someone asked for a version of my mod with original firing rates on MODDB, different animations can really gently caress with people.

The switch is not instant and there is a 0.5 second delay. I have also added doom style shotgun pellets that continue through monsters rather than stopping dead!

Made a chainsaw this weekend using the Ogre chainsaw model and the hands from loga mira's models. I need to work on the sounds, I'm happy with the idle sound but the others could use some work.

I also finally got round to tidying up and improving a load of the AI code.

Some other things to note in this video:
- ogres now have a run and gun animation, meaning they don't stand still when shooting grenades at you. this happens 50% of the time
- ogre grenades now lead the player a bit taking into account if the player is moving, also if the player is above/below the ogre
- couple of good examples of monsters popping up in unexpected places due to them using the waypointing code to find me!
- you can pick health packs up to take you over 100
- if you're below 100 health, you will regen back to your nearest 20 health (20, 40, 60 80 etc)
- this needs a lot more balancing as currently it's too easy

It looks like you reduced the double barreled shotgun's firerate without upping the damage at all.

It's been buffed but only slightly. Just added a couple more pellets and reduced the spread slightly!

DisDisDis posted:

What's the reasoning behind the 200 health change?
Seems like that would make it too easy since there's a lot of healthpacks in Quake maps for you to limp away at low health and grab, but if you can vacuum them up to 200 health most encounters that could kill you at 100 probably can't burst through that.

It's inspired by the system in Wolf TNO. I do agree it could make it too easy. I will probably change the health pickups to 5/10 instead of quakes default 15/25.

That just jogged something in my memory...

I remember playing a game some random website's forum member made on the Quake engine, pretty sure it was Q1, it was a kind of weird, character-action game, though played mostly from the side, I think. It was a one-man project and completely free but I remember having fun with the beta; anyone know what I'm talking about?

The Ascension of Vigil?

Still working on my revamped Quake AI. I've now made it so waypoints can have a jump flag set, meaning monsters won't hesitate to jump down to get to you. It's pretty neat.

That IS pretty neat! Is it universal yet, or do you only have Ogres working? I think a Fiend using that would be pretty terrifying...

It's not universal yet, but adding new monsters using the new AI is the easy bit. I just picked Ogres to start with.

Finally got around to animating the plasma rifle on quakeguy:

And then finally got round to polishing it up in game:

This weekend I've been ill and that's usually when I actually get a whole weekend to gently caress about on stupid things like Quake mods.

I thought hey, what if you took the Quake story from the manual, changed a couple of lines, and made a semi-cool intro. So this is what I've got so far after plugging away. Helicopter and Car nicked from AirQuake.
