There is a tutorial for quake 2 on how to add a z-buffer for the shadows in the old quakesrc stuff. How could you do the same for quake 1

Im moving off of MSVC and i want to compile the Quake source with MinGW and was wondering is it sraight forward or not. And if not how can you?

LOL You have actualy given me an idea in a few months this will not be a fake screenshot!!!!!

Quake started out as an rpg with a leveling weapon, in a dark fantasy setting. Quake2's only relation to Quake is in the name (and that bit of retained texture from the crates in Quake) and the engine.

No the real original idea was way way way back just after COMANDER KEEN the id boyz had a huge ...

The thing with raytracing is that the reason why it's really slow is because it's really slow. It can be done and it has been done (just search on Google for quake ray traced) but - despite the huge worthy achievement - it's still not suitable for real time games.

I know becaus eyou need a huge ...

Thanks

Yeah usually but on really low settings its running at about 20-25 fps you can play for 5 minuetes enough to see the water then the thing crashes the executable itself is about 50meg

i put in the QER Interpolations tutorials into my stock quake engine (now called CQuake and who hasn't) and everytime i build it and use the nailgun the muzzle flash apears instead of flashing on each side like it should you can see the flash in the middle moving right to left and back is there a ...

Hypothetically, would you want ID to make a true sequel to Quake One? What kind of things would be carried over, what kind of thing would you want changed? Or do you just want to see a Remake of the old stuff or should they just let sleeping dog lay.

I would like the game to have a none-linear ...

one of my friends who is a fairly good programmer has implemented raytracing into lordhavoc's darkplaces engine but its really really slow he wants me to make some optimizations later today maybe i can get some screens!!!

THis is really easy also i found out you can apply the same method to QuakeWorld and WinQuake

is it possible to add JPEG suport into quake??? Because i dont like pcx's because they only support 8bpp and TGA are kool but take up too much space so JPEGs just solve all problems

Thanks i can compile now!!!! SKYBOXES!!!!!

DirectQ should work very well with 2008 Express. It was originally a 2008 Express project before I back-ported it to 2003. :D

Really, it should just be a matter of opening the project, choosing to convert it, selecting all the defaults, and job done.

Yeah DirectQ works a treat when compiling ...

i know this is a really noob programmer question but what it a quote??? im very new to C and ive only been working with it for about two weeks!
