catlord posted:Yeah, I did that to get back the crosshair and stuff. Now I seem to have an autoexec file almost set up, save for screen resolution. Maybe I don't need one? I assume there's some people here who use the Quake Injector with Quakespasm, how do you have it working? For video resolution just set it up through the menus. Also leave the fov console variable set at 90, at least for starters; QuakeSpasm (and DarkPlaces) will adjust the actual FOV based on screen aspect ratio so that you don't have to manually increase the fov value. If you like, you can tweak the statusbar appearance with scr_sbarscale and scr_sbaralpha.

NuclearPotato posted:Just about all of the major source ports have a Mac version up and running. The primary exception is GZDoom, but even that has an unofficial Mac fork. As far as playing coop at work, you can probably just grab Zandronum or Chocolate Doom (with Doomseeker) and get stuff going without much fuss. Sweet, thanks. Gotta run to best buy and snag a real mouse. As nice as the apple trackpaddy mouse is for general/work computing, lol at using it for doom

Bought some games on GOG with mixed results; 2 of them didn't work at all(Shogo, and Unreal Tournament 99), while the other two worked out pretty well(Unreal Tournament 2k4, and the Redneck Rampage collection), which makes me think two things, one is that Redneck Rampage could use a revival cause it's pretty fun, and that it sucks that UT2k4 isn't more active on it's online component

UT99 should work if UT2k4 works. Make sure you install one of the updated DX9/OpenGL or DX10 renderers, and install the latest fan patch, and try it again. If you're just interested in plain Unreal online, there is always the alpha for the new game. It's fairly active, and stable.

Wamdoodle posted:Hey, this is like UT's Invasion mode but with Quake! BTW for anyone messing about with jam 5, or Qonquer in general: one of the guys at func_msgboard (Scampie) has provided a tweaked version of the Qonquer mod that speeds up the enemy progression so the waves get more interesting more quickly. It also fixes a bug w/ weapon cycling: http://scampie.net/files/QuickerQonquer.zip If you want to get the fixed/changed behaviors from that mod into jam 5, all you need is to copy the new progs.dat into your jam 5 folder. Anyway I'm not a big fan of "monster waves" gameplay either in Unreal or Qonquer, but so far I am liking poking my head into each of the jam 5 maps for a bit. :-) It looks like it's tough to make this sort of gameplay truly interesting given the normal Quake monster AI though. Maybe if you could lock some monsters in place to force them to be snipers (rather than jumping down into a mosh pit) the fights would get hairier. Probably there's some mapping/placement tricks that could force that behavior without requiring more code changes? I just played Skacky's map (I think?) that opened up different areas (at different elevations) as the waves progressed, and that was neat. It added just that little extra bit to look forward to. Maybe there are others that do this too -- I have yet to play most of them. As for other mods, here's a few more thoughts about singleplayer mods below. These are all fairly traditional "explore through Quake-y maps" sorts of experiences, as opposed to more radically different stuff like Quake Rally or Kickflip. Although speaking of Kickflip, it did have a new map released for it earlier this year. :-) ===== So first I'd recommend checking out the latest incarnation of Quoth if you haven't yet: https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/quoth/ Quoth has received some fair criticism about its bestiary. That's been addressed to some extent in the latest version though, and in any case it can be fun just to run across monsters in a Quake map that are both different and also have a plausible this-could-belong-in-Quake level of polish. If you start "New Game" using Quoth, you'll get to play a few remixed versions of classic Quake singleplayer maps, which is something I really enjoy when done well. Nice combo of familiar and surprising. There are also several other custom maps that use Quoth, which you can see by filtering Quaddicted's map list using the quoth keyword. Some that catch my eye there: sock's Metal Monstrosity, skacky's Conference of the Shamblers, and several maps by mfx, than, and necros. ===== If you like truly giant maps, Rubicon Rumble Pack and Something Wicked both have new enemies and weapons. They require a Quake engine that supports the bsp2 map format -- I'd say to use the latest official version of QuakeSpasm. ===== sock's In the Shadows is a go at doing stealth gameplay in Quake. It includes a couple more of those classic-remixed maps that I like. You can also run-n-gun through it if you don't buy into the stealth stuff. sock has intermittently threatened to turn this into a full-fledged game or campaign, which I hope he does someday. But the "sampler" here is still very cool & worth playing. ===== Travail is an "unofficial mission pack" that includes some new monsters & weapons. For some reason I hadn't played this until very recently... thumbs up though, it's quite good. ===== I have the impulse to go revisit Malice or Nehahra one day soon, but I don't know how they would hold up. :-)

I'll vouch for Malice. It's pretty well designed and I enjoyed it a lot, and this is entirely without the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia as I just played it for the first time... last year, I think.

In the opinion of this thread (which, overall, I think is currently my favourite thread I'm subscribed to  ), what's the best way for a guy on a mac to play some Quake 1? I have the actual game files, obviously, but it's been a long time since I bothered, and forget what I used to use, but it might not even have been the best way.

Just a couple of days ago I had a friend w/ a Macbook ask me that, and he's now happily playing using QuakeSpasm. Might as well C&P the relevant part of the email I sent him: quote:So the main question is which Quake engine to use. For playing singleplayer stuff on OS X there are two good choices. In either case (QuakeSpasm, or DarkPlaces, or some other Quake engine) you just need to put your pak1.pak and pak0.pak files into a subfolder named "id1" so that the application can find them. With QuakeSpasm, make sure you go into the menus and enable mouselook, since it's not on by default. (Also enable always-run, fiddle with keybindings if you like, etc.) P.S. if you're interested in multiplayer the answer might be different. That's a whole 'nother post so I'll skip it unless someone wants to get into that. ===== One more thing. You won't have the soundtrack unless you put your Quake CD in the drive, and then there still might be issues with the track failing to repeat when it gets to the end... there certainly is that problem on Windows these days, but I have no clue how these programs handle old Redbook CD audio on OS X. Modern Quake engines can also play the soundtrack from files though (individually ripped CD tracks). DarkPlaces can play OGG files; QuakeSpasm can play OGG and MP3. I set up my friend with the OGG files and he says it's working for him w/ QuakeSpasm. I'll temporarily put them up for you guys too, here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11690738/temp/quake_soundtrack.zip That's the main soundtrack in OGG and MP3 form, and the missionpack soundtracks in MP3. These have been "properly" ripped to handle taking care of the pre-emphasized CD audio, unlike a lot (almost all?) of the Quake soundtrack files you'll find floating around the web. It's a minor difference but it's nice to handle it correctly. A lot more Quake soundtrack info here if you like: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=119489135 JLaw fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Apr 13, 2015 |

Malice is real good, just remember to patch it so you'll actually have a critical item in one timed level. Now I'm simultaneously playing through Zerstoerer and Abyss of Pandemonium. Next in queue is probably Nehahra.

If anybody's curious, here's what Seal of Nehahra looks/sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnwdPOBgKHo Although its way better when its rendering in real-time on your local machine in nice resolution. The voices are low quality but the acting is surprisingly decent and the writing is pretty good too. It retroactively gives Quake a really good back-story. Yeah, Quake always had some story in the manual about Quake's forces, but it was pretty thin at best and kinda a mess. Seal of Nehahra is like Doom combined with Half-life. And its got some nice drama and humor too. Oh my god, its Phil. Al Cu Ad Solte posted:

I need a little help in the AMC level 'For Providence'. I've taken every obvious path as far as it it will go and can't figure out where to go next. The last thing I did was use a cog to unlock "The mines", but I wasn't able to recognize where it was from the cutscene that played and don't have a save that would allow me to watch it again without replaying significant parts of the level. I did a lap around every point of interest in the level and wasn't able to find anything new, so I'm stumped.

If you're where I think you are, you can kick the door in the next room (adjacent to the moon door, near where you used the cog) open (If you have a melee weapon assigned, do a spin kick by pressing back and then hitting the quick kick key) You can then move the bookcase in the room inside.

There should be a map marker with a big exclamation point over the door and James should say something about being able to kick the door down when you use it; it can be a fairly daunting map at times though (I'll give you a hint for the next part, in the garage/industrial part opposite the church is a blood sigil that only Sang can use)
