was there ever a side scrolling mod for quake1? 

a TNT would be fine for fitzquake, q2, and neh, but cube gets sort of choppy on some levels for me (16mb TNT at home.) 

there was one a few years ago called target quake.

also, RenegadeC from #qc has an aborted castelvania mod he started last year. 

I just upped my mem from 48MB to 96 MB too..
this means:

faster-ish compile times (not that i even have time/motivation to map anymore), quake 1, 2 (need to reinstall), hexen 2 (need to reinstall) at higher resolutions smoother

wooo now if only i could get this usb 2.0 card to recognize my scanner.. 

also, RenegadeC from #qc has an aborted Metroid mod he started ~2 years ago.

fatty: 1st check if there is an AGP slot, then u might get 2nd-hand tnt2 for ~10euro

maric: I guess u should just check what console has the games u like ... And why u`d want a brand new pc (1500$ is all-u-need box + 19"crt btw) if u can just upgrade ur current puter 

TNT is really limited to 640x480. I had fun with mine but TNT2 or lower Geforce better. 200 CPU is really limited also, Cube really needs a bit more. PCI video OK at that level (and considerably beyond, really) though if it doesn`t have AGP. 

I had a TNT on my PII 300 with 128mb, and I was running Quake at 1024x768. I was overclocking the PII to 333, also. I was very happy with my TNT.

Just for comparison. 

Is moved to Sunday this week. Not enough people wanted to play on Saturday. Stop by #terrafusion 3pm EST if you want to play. 

Stage 1:
* Get hard disk, screen, ISA sound card, ISA modem. Partition hard disk into 10GB chunks and transfer Compaq data.
(There's only two PCI slots in this thing, and one of 'em is occupied by a network card. The other three seem to be ISA slots, but I know where I might be able to get an ISA sound card, preferrably with Line Out and Line In ports. As fer the modem... If it's not possible to get an ISA one, oh well! I'll just agitate for broadband. :)

Stage 2:
Install video card (e.g. Riva TNT64.)

Stage 3:
Compare Ethernet vs. WiFi networking of both PCs.
(The reason I'm considering this is so that if the olds wanna go surfin' they won't interrupt me, they can just open up Mozilla in the front room and go. Actually, they have terrible trouble with logging on and off, so that's another reason to go broadband...

Also, the PCs are about 60'/20m apart, with several walls between them. But we may move again in a few years, so stringing Ethernet cable might be a waste of time; however, WiFi stations aren't cheap.) 

Look into getting a cable snake. They're not terribly expensive and they make running cable through the house not so bad. 

Locusts are falling from the sky!

Geese are speaking in tongues!

The sea has turned to blood!

And Fatty is UPGRADING HIS SYSTEM!




P.S. Daz: stay out of my alley you. And yes I`ll try Enclave, looks damn cool, once I have a better system... 

matsp2 has been reviewed:

/me wants ramshackle back. 

Does anyone know of an improved variant of WinQuake (i.e. software rendering, no OpenGL), that specifically supports higher resolutions than 800x600 ?

I use WinQuake for those maps that for various reasons cannot be loaded into FitzQuake. 

What were you playing on that you found it so bright? I thought it was a little dark myself. I prefer to play on glquake with brightness set to the max on the standard palette. That's what I'm lighting my map by.

I also thought the layout of matsp2 was more interesting than you did. 

Tochrisquake supports higher resolutions, I believe. I think that it's dissappeared off the web, though. It also has a few bugs (for example, items that are rotated are not displayed correctly). If you want it, I can e-mail it. 

that new q1 map+review is worth a news item !

nice map except the lighting ( very bland ) 

we have a bunch of computers just lying around here that are about as good or better than the one youve just got... where are you? maybe we could work something out 

I appear to have acquired work at a college organising their classroom texts...

Thanks, I have tried ToChris Quake and QIP Quake and both seem to have the same limitation as WinQuake, i.e. max 800x600 windowed resolution (sorry, I forgot to mention that detail). They all support up to 1280x1024 in fullscreen but I want it in a window.

Any other suggestions ?
