Func_Msgboard: RemakeQuake

Posted by ijed on 2008/11/15 04:22:38

This is a thread about a project currently underway to remake Quake one.

It involves upgrading what exists already in order to play and look better or at least differently in all probable situations and enhance what is already there in this great game.

So we're remixing all the maps, monsters, and the player.

A specific engine in order to solve long-standing issues isn't out of the question, the main concerns being cross-OS support for features that should be common, like entity alpha and multiplayer. These things exist in various forms, but there's still no standard, at least today.

There's a great wealth of resource on this board - the one thing that doesn't exist here is apathy.

So, we're fishing for contributors. If you can make a map, animate or code and want to see this monster through to its conception then you're on the team.

Over the next few days I'll post info on what currently exists, and where it's headed.

1st base - makin' out
2nd base - touchin' stuff
3rd base - sexual relations of an oral capacity
4th base - touchdown?
5th base - ???

That could do, or something very close.

All your base?

Secret base? Would that be like dirt base?

AM2000 Base

It's just a quick jump. I took the enforcer walk5 frame as it is the most close to a base frame, added bones and know I can make it jump anyway I want to.

Point is by converting a frame to dxf in Qmle hands me a monster I can import in a modelling studio. But when I export it to Qmle again chance is verticecount won't fit with the original.

So to make this one fit all frames also have to be reimported to match this new vertice count. Big bad is I can only make a base skin texture from the walk5 frame, and that's not the original.

And I gain with that strange mirror effect, why does it have that gun left?

Yes

I tried converting an enforcer model to make a vertical throw act.

As I didn't import or export the model than in Quark4.07 to make the shape the models fits well in the usual enforcer scene. The verts and trices are the same so it uses the original tex. If one uses the manipulating tool in the model studio with care it can be awarding.

Throw.zip is the RFS that fits in the original Enforcer with Qmle.
Maybe it can be usefull for Remake Quake?

Excellent

Thanks mf will check later

I have an enforcer model with a whole stack of extra anims on it for diving, rolling, punching, kicking, etc. I will dig it out if you want.

You are one busy boy !!! :)

Well, not sure we'd be able to use them, but at the very least they'd be interesting to see.

We don't have anything too acrobatic planned for the Enforcer.

Hmm

#115 posted by nonentity on 2009/02/05 18:22:27

Turn the enforcers into HL marines. Gwan!

#116 posted by gb on 2009/02/05 18:58:26

Madfox: the GIF looks good, I can't model, so can't really comment on the dxf files.

Lth: Sounds cool, I'd sure want to see it.

Ricky: Well, I just cleaned up the tickets. The list should be more readable now, and most tickets should have a DONE and TODO section now. The timeline is only for people with good nerves, though.

I got rid of titles like "Dark Evile Flora that may or may not be flora" :-E

But yes, this project is demanding.

Well

Mad Props ;)

Point Of Fact

I was thinking of adding all the new level names to the tickets next to the E*M* just so there's an easy reference.

#119 posted by oh, that person on 2009/02/05 19:47:01

"Dark Evile Flora that may or may not be flora" sounds like a perfect description for foliage in Quake, though.

#120 posted by gb on 2009/02/05 20:32:36

The level names - I started doing that, but removed them because it made the list less readable.

The goal is to stop scaring people off with the tickets.

Names should go into the description IMO. There's also the search function which is actually pretty good.

onetruepurple: we have some whacko names :-E

You are fattening up the originals with some butter and heavy cream for a delicacy beyond our wildest imaginings. I'm getting flushed with chick like feelings right now. Are those tears coming from my eyes, why yes they are!

WIP shots, lots of things missing. Shot 1 is the entrance area, shot 2 is the passage to the lift/ogre cage, shot 3 is between lowering ceiling and cave.

For some reason I have screenshot problems in X11 - need to use Joequake in 8 bit O_o

#125 posted by Spirit on 2009/02/08 21:37:05

I was going to say those look like donkey balls. Finally I can direct negke to other shots to nag about. :p

Looks very good, especially shot 1 is nice. 2 is colour soup. 3 I have a hard time finding where it is.

Seeing extremities of "myself" easily kills the immersion for me though. :(
