Quake 1

Damn, how did I miss this game? It looks & plays great.



Best of all, you can use the Darkplaces engine to play it.

yeah great game, so many hours spent on it fastest rockets from all fps shooters there

Crazy, it's still looking good o_O

btw, may I ask a question which little bit out of topic? Quake has minsta?

as far as I remember there was no minsta/insta in first quake,maybe someone made it, but I never heard about that. anyway multiplayer was great there, I enjoyed that game as hell thats why I wanted "place of two deaths" so much in Nexuiz

That 1st video will disappear soon, what's the point of showing you a demo of someone else?

Here's one of me on that level:

nice work m8 woah I never played q1 with that graphics, when I was enjoying that game there were pixels large as bricks
try nightmare difficulty woah I imagine how every level looks like with hi res etc
thx for sharing T

I wanna try this game...

Please Tony explain me and us how to tweak quake 1 that it looks like that! (as an answer to your pm )

That's the original graphic if someone don't know :

1st thing is the Darkplaces engine, get it here: http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/files/darkplacesengine20090128.zip
Make a new dir called quake & extract it there, Then make an id1 dir within your newly created quake dir & copy over your .pak files.
You can now run it by executing one of the darkplaces binaries.
You'll want to grab one of the hi res texture packs, I recommend this as a good base: http://qrp.quakeonline.net/qrp-maptextures-2007-10-06r2-7files.zip - read the readme! If you run Linux or OSX the .bat will be of little use, instead:

Code:

for f in *.link; do tga=$(< "$f"); cp "$tga" "${f%.link}".tga; done

Then you'll want nicer weapons & ammo boxes: http://www.quake-1.com/files/textures/darkplaces-qrp-remodel-plus-plagues-pack.pk3
& monster skins: http://fvfonline.com/FvFmonsterSkins.zip
Rtlights: grab the romi_rtlights pk3's from LordHavock's dpmod & discard the rest: http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/files/darkplacesmod20080808.zip
Fonts, menus & other gfx: http://w1.470.telia.com/~u47016112/quake/index.html

There'll still be a few missing textures but it really shouldn't detract, you'll notice the level design isn't quite perfect anyhoo. But if you really want every texture & can't be bothered with all the above, just grab the Darkplaces engine & Rygel's high res pack: http://games.on.net/file/14291/Rygels_High_hi-res_texture_pack_for_LordHavocs_DarkPlaces_Quake_mod - While it's more complete, it's also bigger, slower & strays from the original style.

Hope that helps. The rest is down to your PC & how it copes wuth stuff like HDR.

Even easier:

- Grab the DP engine & extract it to somewhere like ~/games/quake/
- Assuming the above, create ~/games/quake/id1 & put your .pak files in there
- Download my custom gfx collection: http://omploader.org/vMW9idA/lostpack.pk3
- Put that in with the .pak files, no need to extract
- Exec ~/games/quake/darkplaces-whatever & enable the eyecandy.

Consider it a light-weight version of Rygel's pack that retains the original theme.

Graphic is much better at your video than mine Tony

You still have to turn up the fx.

Code:

_cl_color "19"

Quake will be 13 years old next month.

These are the best screenshots I can find showing how it looked: http://www.mobygames.com/game/quake/screenshots

Heyhey, Amiga!

you wanna say that its not much younger me?

yup thats true my friend

Completed it!

I only played @ normal skill & I found it quite challenging enough. I did find myself getting the pups once everything was dead tho...

Awesome game!

gratz m8 I know every secret in this game, but I remember I had the same, did U know that on Ziggurat vertigo when U take pentagram of protection - dive into the lava and there is very nice quad damage waiting for U ? quite good thing to get rid of the shamblers ^^]
did U find the portals to "hidden" levels? there are several in whole game

Oh... I usually find 0-2 secrets per map And sometimes I found easy skill rather hard btw I'm on 3rd episode

I found 1 hidden level, The Haunted Halls.

I only found around half the secrets, maybe I need to try it on Nightmare.

so U didnt see Ziggurat Vertigo map yet?

Heh, are you not frightened of nightmare Tony?
