DOS Quake v1.07 (or newer)

[siska.robert]

Hi.

My quake modification takes advantage of changing gravity that was introduced in Scourge, I belive...
I've never bought any expansion pack, so all I have is v1.06 engine.

I know modern engines can do this, but I need DOS support as well :)

So, can you please send or link me to newer version of DOS quake engine? Thanks!

official source should be 1.09 i think ? must be a rather old source you got

could also try tochris allthough the source is rather different then the original. allthough i think the software source is targetted at winquake not dosquake.

or QIP quake (both gl and dos source) also has pretty much any fix posted on quakesrc in its time and a few more like Q3 cvars and command callback.

I certainly am aware of engoo, I just wanted something simpler. Without all those lookup tables and whatnot. (Althought I'm also aware of -ugly switch...)

Is there problem with distributing that hipnotic's dosquake? Or just nobody has got it anymore? :)

I don't think an ID DOS Quake beyond 1.06 ever existed. It should be possible to build a DOS executable from the released source, but it's an extremely marginal market; nobody really has DOS any more.

[siska.robert]

Alright. I'm glad that there is engoo then :)

Now, just of the curiosity, did not the Scourge of Armagon run on DOS? If so, it couldn't be on 1.06 engine (imho!) since it doesn't support all that hipnotic's stuff... I'm puzzled :D

hmm actually it seems the gravity stuff was from rogue not hipnotic.

hipnotic added empaty shields it seems.

also changed the defines to use bitflags instead.

No it was from hipnotic, the gravity belt was just rogue utilizing the .gravity field introduced with Scourge of Armagon. (Scourge used it as a triggerbrush so that you could do areas of the map with low gravity, I don't think DoE used it outside of the gravity belt powerup)

[revelator]

ok that explains it

tbh i newer played the expansion on dos, at the time i got it i was using win2000 so quite some time after heh.

Basically Hipnotic got the engine source code and made changes to it for supporting their pack. These changes were subsequently picked up by ID and rolled into an official 1.07 release.

I've never used the Hipnotic executable - and likely never will - so I have no idea if it's even capable of running standard ID1 Quake or any other mods.

hmm i still got the cd might try and have a go at it

Aa-hah!

that would be sweet :)

[revelator]

hehe i had to install it on my old vectra win7 would know nothing of it works ok on win 98 se though. standard quake runs ok with the hipnotic exe it seems but i havent done a lot of testing with it yet so lets see

[leileilol]

no one knows the id software ftp anymore.

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake/quake108.zip

what a shame

fun fact: id software's web site mistakenly links to this file as 'shareware version of Quake' on their id tech page. They should really be linking to quake106.zip

[revelator]

jebus totally forgot nice find hehe.
