CheapAlert:
Wrong. QuakeWorld has a .float maxspeed. Quake does not.
Even DarkPlaces doesn't support it.

FTE does, but that's because FTE is simply a QW engine that's able to run normal Quake mods.

Okay, I might be a bit biased... FTEQW ALL THE WAY. :p

Monsters 'look' for enemies via the checkclient builtin. They only check it once, and it cycles through one, one client per frame. Which means that coop gives slightly slower monsters. That means you can't just test to see if it's a monster that you've got, because it'll only check client slots. you...

So long as you don't do self.nextthink = time; ... That's a cardinal sin in QW, generally resulting in infinate loops in many engines. Setting nextthink too low will cause an entity to catch up any missing thinks. Which is always wierd. :) the newmis global entity names an entity to have a think aft...

SkinnedAlive: urm... try a lower case pak file?

Or maybe they coded it all perfectly right from the start and simply forgot to set the looping value to -1... Looping?? nah! set it to 0! (so it restarts at offset 0... doh!)

DP supports it on protocol 6 and upwards, I think...
FTE and ALL QW engines support it.

I don't know about other engines.

yeah, hexen2 ends up with only ever using a single weapon for most of the game. And then there's the whole running around without any idea what you're meant to be doing...

FTE runs hexen2... but one of the bosses needs a noclip.
And it has no built-in hud.

You can try newhexen, which is about the only modified hexen2 engine (that isn't really a quake engine at least).

Are you sure you need to change the camera and not the player size instead?

There are two sorts of people in this community...
Those who don't like Tenebrae. And those that have never run it.

There's a reason people here do not like tenebrae. 1: framerates. 2: the moddability of an expensive antique. 3: it simply doesn't feel nice.

I agree with Urre's comment.

what you need to code quake engines. 1: a logical mind. 2: a C compiler 3: an idea of what you want to do with it 4: knoledge of the engine in question 5: a good starting point. 1 I can do nothing to help with. 2 can be solved for free with mingw (though you'll need to figure out how to use it first...

Tei has a point, fileplanet IS indeed evil.
There are a few quake focused websites around, and many of these servers have some spare bandwidth. And frames would allow it to be shared nicly...

Theme TBA?

3rd person shooters count as action already, just gotta make it turn-based... I made a mod for that a while ago.
Turn based quake is too slow for my liking. Why pick that as a theme?
