bad code isn't obvious.

I take offense to that. Mine certainly is. 

Currently we can choose between linear filtering and nearest-neighbor filtering. How about giving hqx a try? 

The filtering that is currently available is there because the hardware supports it, hqx would probably have to be done by up sampling the textures in software and loading the higher res images to the video card. Which you could also do manually using external textures. 

Question is would hqx even look good on quake textures, since it's designed for pixel art 

Yeah hqx only looks half-decent on stuff like nes sprites - In Quake it would just look like you've upscaled the texture then run them through some ugly watercolour filter or something. 

I looked into other texture filtering once and it is not worth it unless you are into amateur painter art. 

No idea what I used to create them but here is scale4x: https://transfer.sh/Liu3e/scale4x.7z

awesome, always good to see bsp2 on a wider range of engines! 

also, that RRP video revealed to me a design flaw in the burning player effect from rubicon 2 -- if your health is > 100, you can't pick up a health pack, which means you can't stop the burning! 

Especially that MadFox map for RRP looks good. 

It really is fun to play Quake on, and it's often overlooked (I have to remind myself it exists occasionally). What I really love is low-grav + gore. This makes Quake even gorier :)

Here's some gore screens from my low grav map (coming soon I hope) -

super8 - pretty cool, but when fog and coloured lighting is all going on, you tend to lose a lot when you try and map that back to the quake palette. 

Super8 - played in it for five minutes - could kinda do with "make it look/sound like quake" preset in the options :)

Over-the-top weapon bobbing craziness...quake's 8-bit sounds up-sampled to whatever...starts with a funky palette bend by default...not my cup of chai I'm afraid :) 

I wish you guys realised how bloody annoying Dropbox is. Every time I click a link here, I get a popup if I want to join it. 

 

Uhh, is the new bobbing combined with the regular bobbing? It looks like the weapon is twitching in all directions at once.

It is simple as that 

It's literally the most useful thing I've ever signed up to, it's the first thing I get going after a fresh install.

Seriously just get it already. 

This boggles the mind!

Use imgur or GTFO.

Fook knows. Also, whether the weaponmodel idles on the left or the right depends on player facing angle! Doesn't appear to be an option to make it use sensible behaviour either.

Oh well, one less engine to keep track of I guess!

*deletes it* 

Why would I use a US-based, unencrypted, closed source data hoarding company?

Syncthing works great for synchronization. And for temporary hosting there are tons of options that do not require account or have surveillance-loving warmongers on their board. 

The new bobbing is being controlled by the following commands:

cl_bobmodel
cl_bobmodel_up
cl_bobmodel_side
cl_bobmodel_speed

Setting "up" and "side" to 0 turns it off and reveals that, indeed, old forward-back bobbing is preserved. Therefore, to make the new bobbing look good, you also need to set "cl_bob" to 0, but then the camera won't bob.

I didn't find a way to make the weapon's position independent of the player's facing angle.
