btw, i've expected somewhat higher performance from my new video card (agp fx5500-256mb and 128bit) instead of an old mx 440(64-64)


ps, i know, i know i have to buy a new PC....


hmm, addendum, the version of driver - 175.19_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe

maybe i should change the driver ???
i got also
175.16_geforce_winxp_32bit_international_whql.exe
and 94 something...


help needed 

i'm gonna connect the monitor via dvi cabel , instead of vga, i hope there's will be a difference 

With such an old card, using the latest drivers is not recommended. In many cases you get worse (sometimes considerably) performance. You should google around for a hint at which version might work best for your card, or at least which versions might be worth testing. Modified driver packs are worth a try, too. For example, the modified nvidia drivers at NGOHQ.com. 

cable 

i see,

at least i got fx5500 now $), my MB has an agp slot only,

this fall i'll buy a new PC, i got a question whats difference between i-5,7 and core2duo? 

one more addendum

using agguirres eng (1920*1080*32bpp) looks correct,

fitz85 (1920*1080*32bpp) looks tall (unusual) 

I'm running a similar age card, 175.63 drivers work best for me.

And DVI cable does make a difference. 

And DVI cable does make a difference.

i've got a question, so how i have to connect the dvi cable? when i connect it without vga cable, my monitor's just standing by and do nothing, so i'd connected both(either?) of the cables.

dvi and vga are working separately?
so when i got dvi cable connected i don't need vga cable connected. in this case my monitor doesn/t running

hell 

I don't have time to read back 30 pages to see if this is new:

I loaded this model in game and it truly conveys a frightening experience ... 

Looks like that shambler has fucking eyes - that IS frightening. 

But, yeah, the eyes..... 

Shamblers have fur. Also the proportions are all wrong, it looks like an ape. 

It looks out of place next to Quake's 8 bit rocks, lava and health cubes.

The model itself is very cool, but people loading this into normal Quake to "enhance" the experience evoke a slight facepalm from me.

Send a pic to id Software to taunt them?

Considering how easy it apparently is for someone on the internet to produce good looking monsters or weapon models, you have to ask yourself why it is so hard for big companies to make cool, entertaining games... and why it takes ages for someone like id Software to create content. 

Please don't burn. Please don't suffocate. Please go take apocalyptic pictures out of your window. 

Considering how easy it apparently is for someone on the internet to produce good looking monsters...

Considder yourself a freak, who has lots of sparetime, and hasn't got big companies on its tail to blame you about ugly creatures, designed in rush of deathline.

I only get a cartoon warning when trying to download.
Is that you nonentity? 

I am, in fact, often used as a cartoon-y warning for others... 

I don't see what I have to do with making models... 

eyes beside it's mouth, it's certainly not looking too happy.

@spy. I don't think the fx5500 is very fast. Probably closer to an fx5200 than a fx5600. Nvidia have always tried to confuse people with the card names. Still, running at 1920x1080 isn't too bad. 

I agree with the comments above. It looks cool as a monster but doesn't capture the essential bestial weirdness and deviant brutality of the shambler. 

yo! you keyboard turners out there... do you guys use custom cl_yawspeed values? 

just dvi cable works should work, otherwise something is wrong. There are different types of dvi cables though, make sure you have the right one. 

What's a reasonable Quake 2 engine for singleplayer?

Must run on linux, must support OSS sound.

Yamagi (alsa only, wtf?) and things like Aprq2 / aq2 don't work correctly.

Eyecandy is a bonus. 

EGL doesn't compile, kmquake2's makefile is broken, q2xp seems to exist only for windows, yamagi has no sound... fuck this. The gods don't want me to play Quake 2.

Yes. 

Altho beware the completely pointless, unavoidable new pop-out framing device when you click play.

WHY?!?!?
