well if 240 sucks and 256 crashes, what am I supposed to use? :D

I`ll try taking it lower than 256, but if the r_speeds blow out I might just change it back, since I was only getting the BAD SURFACE EXTENTS error in WinQuake, I might just ignore it... nobody uses WinQuake, right? (surely not!) It`s a deathmatch map though, so I`ll have to check if it crashes software qwcl.exe

p.s thanks for the tips but all my textures appear to be present in the wads, so that isn`t the problem (nor is it a brush with 2 or more animated textures on it).

Thanks for the help guys. 

so you might as well just use it.

as for winquake/qwcl compatability, i believe the renderer for all the software engines is basically the same. 

test 

The qw ffa day will be on Sunday 3pm EST. We will play cheshires maps starting with chesdm1 and ending with chesdm4. 

i recently got this email from:
rozbehiusa@yahoo.com
[i thought some of you might be interested, plus the sites themselves are pretty cool - UWF].

Im admin on www.nqeu.tk and wanna see if you wanna help us out there with writing news about new maps or anything related to Quake1.
The site was originaly only in swedish 5-6 years ago but now the past 2 years its english and dedicated for the Quakers around the world!
We are around 10 ppl in the staff and growing by week.

We are on daily bases on our IRC channel ( #RQ ) on irc.quakenet.org were we often meet and talk about news etc.
Recently we released a movie with www.nqmovie.tk and it have been a smashhit all around the world, from brazil -> sweden -> australia.

Im also head admin on www.quakeworld.nu, the portal for all quakeworld players and working in lots of other projects!
Hopefully you can help us out in one way or another.

if I'd bloody looked in that fucking drawer seven hours ago, I'd have found that Win95 install CD and saved myself hours of grief.

(Got the parts, formatted the HD, went mad trying to copy across an existing install.) 

If I was installing win95, it would not be _hours_ of grief I would worry about. 

Gah! Bloody Win95 won't install at all!

For some reason, it keeps claiming that there's a "compressed disk" on my nice, clean, newly formatted (and now reformatted) hard disk. If I ignore that, the setup crashes with "can't copy files" or some similar rot.

I've tried fdisk and reformatting, but same joy... and a hidden file called "drvspace.bin" which refuses to be deleted, or accessed in any way at all.

I'm in a jam here; I guess I'll just have to take the goddamn box to someone and see what they can do with it. Sigh... 

perhaps the drive is formatted as FAT32 and not FAT16? Or perhaps the drive is too big.. I think WIN98 allowed much bigger capacity than 95... 

First, see if you have a friend with win98 he can 'give' to you. If that fails, see if you can get a friend to burn you a Knoppix cd ( http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html ). That and some minimal unix skills can solve just about anything you can do to a computer. 

The BIOS autodetect reads the correct numbers of tracks, sectors etc, but claims this 20GB Maxtor is only 8GB.

My suspicions: I'll have to hang fire and pick up a complete new BIOS/motherboard/box when I can afford 'em (which won't be for several months.)

Your thoughts? 

Are the jumpers on the back of the HD set correctly. There is an option to set them so as you only use "x" amount of the HD, is on mine anyways, I guess they are all similar. 

If you can, try setting the "access mode" of the appropriate IDE adapter to LBA. If there is an update available, and the motherboard can handle it, try reflashing the BIOS. 

Even if the jumpers were set that way, that shouldn't have anything to do with your other problems though 

Are you from Australia?
Do you have an ATX case?

No, New Zealand.

And nope, this ain't an ATX case.

(The corpse's brand name is Digital 3000. 'Twas being used as a backup machine.)

Anyway, I've been twiddling with fdisk and whatnot, but I'm beginning to suspect that I'll need to pick up a complete new chassis a few months down the track anyway. (And go shopping for a copy of Win98 too...) 

might be filesystem
you need fat32, or chop the drive into several fat16 partitions (use partition magic, or some other tool that can manage partitions better than featureless fdisk)

u need win 95 osr2 or 98(slower) to use fat32 drive

dont know about the bios, but even my soket7 mobo from year 97 (or even 96) supported >8gb hdds

what gave you got against South? 

gave = have [edit button!]. 

Piss off you moaning wanker. Sometimes you can be so stupid I'm amazed you can walk upright let alone type such gibberish on a keyboard.

Number of people happily using new threads: 12-15

Number of people complaining: 1. You. Idiot. 

I have something you may be interested in, would have been easier if you were in AUS, but.
Have a look, see what you think. Let me know, ASAP, you'll be happy with the deal. Oh, I can slip you Win98 to if you like. Let me know SOON.
