Forgive the double-post, butczg posted:Jackhammer is a modern rewrite of good old Worldcraft, and is pleasant and smooth to use for the most part. Like, seriously, I'm having issues getting all the paths set up correctly for me to quickly compile maps and hop into Quakespasm without issue, and every time I alt-tab away to look at another window, by the time I'm ready to alt-tab back and try something out, I find Jackhammer's silently closed itself in the interim. This has happened 3-5 times in the span of the last hour.

Okay, the more I play Unloved the Doom 2 mod the more I recommend giving it a shot. If you do, make sure you set up the lighting options as outlined in the readme file, it really helps.

Finally decided to start playing Quake for the first time, and I'm curious about the difficulty levels. I really like playing Doom on Ultra-Violence, is that equivalent to Quake's Hard or Nightmare?

Quake doesn't really have anything quite like Doom Nightmare, so you could say that Quake Nightmare is equivalent to Doom UV. But I'd say start at Hard, playing Nightmare before you know the maps is going to get you killed an awful lot.

Two things about that Bethesday GOG offering: 1) "... and you get Arena and Daggerfall for FREE when purchasing..." Uhh, those were free anyway. Are these GOG-ified? 2) Holy loving poo poo, is this the first time Battlespire and Redguard have been released since they originally came out? Does... does Redguard actually work??

It doesn't look like it's got any of the enhancements he was teasing at, and the original games work fine with nglide, so it's probably just a straight release. edit: VV It comes in the GOG installer, but you can just run that through Wine to get the wad files out until they make an OSX/Linux package.

There's literally no reason for the games to not be on GOG. *insert that guy from invasion of the body snatchers pointing here* NERD! When I think about Black Mesa, I'm reminded of a zero punctuation rant about overly masturbatory fan based game remakes and how they're not actually very good. The only thing the Black Mesa team has done has been to update Half life's graphics to Half life 2's standards, insert a bunch of pointless references to the squeal and other pop culture, jack up the difficulty to "ball-peen hammer to the genitals" level, and put it on steam. I feel there's more they could have done with the engine, like interactions between the wild zen species that would have expanded on the feeling of an alien ecosystem invading black mesa.

SteamCMD is not part of the normal Steam client, it's a separate download. It's mostly meant for installing dedicated servers, but nothing's stopping you from using it like this.

I hope these aren't just straight up ports of the original PC versions because they weren't without their problems. Turok 2 PC was mostly okay, but the original was steamy hot garbage compared to the N64 version. The hi-fi soundtracks were hella nice though, even if the console versions did sound better in places.

@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType works in the Steam client console, but it's likely to make a mess of things (it will probably invalidate all the games you have installed) Grab steamcmd for Mac, as suggested. Should be able to do it there.

I don't have the GOG version, but the GOG team have a pretty mature arsenal of wrappers and hacks to replace CD music with OGG files, even in long-abandoned closed-source games like Outlaws, so they probably used those.

I learned my lesson from Steam releases of old games like Dark Forces and Quake: If the game is older than 15 or so years, get the GOG version. For the love of God get the GOG version.

Someone on func_msgboard says that the download size is too small to be a CD ISO, so they might have done something like http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=113399618 ?? Although that would be a little... janky. If it's not too gross a solution then maybe they'll come back and fix up the Steam release too...
