OK, I'm on the team for RMQ, and I dont think it's going to be 'the future' so-to-speak. People will always like good 'ole Quake for what it is, and RMQ isn't gonna change that, just the same as Quoth didnt change that. And - yeah - it's a travesty that if you buy Quake on Steam you dont get the soundtrack!!!! How dare they!!! 

...not again :/ 

I mean RMQ is gonna be a great thing! Loads of added features to the original Quake, alterations and improvements, some hefty maps etc. But after Nahahra was born, Quoth, and other stuff like that - people still play the original, people still map for the original, you know - vanilla Quake has a great style in its simplicity. I dunno - I'm often grumpy or a pain in the ass in the mornings, I just didnt want people fighting again. 

been playing custom levels in my steam version of HL and soundtrack actually *is* included. For the record. Also, still have my Quake CD, so that's also covered. 

good to know. I cant get the standard version to work on windows 7, will get the steam apck when it drops in price. 

Fitz works fine for me in Windows 7, what problems are you having? 

Half-Life

Thanks negke. I've only ever used the Steam version of HL. 

I cant get HL to support Widescreen in windows 7 64bit. Apparently the steam version does. 

You need to manually hack the exe;

Search on google for it. 

will look for it.

I'll keep my fingers quietly crossed ;) 

See you in the other games thread. 

I just read :) 

 

and this one too: http://www.shacknews.com/article/68945/carmack-id-considering-quake-reboot

(regardless of whether or not the same info is also in the other games thread :) )

Summary contained in the url. Amazing news, no?

Out of curiosity, anyone know if there are any/many people from the Quake 1 community working at id now? 

Srsly? Why the fuck would anyone code like that? Three spaces instead of tabs? Left brace on the line after the statement and indented with three spaces? Just wtf.

The above refers to lack of useful coding style that was used in the hipnotic qc src. 

yes, that's insanely annoying.

i think it's more that they coded that in some IDE that just does formatting in a strange way, and then exported everything to text files. 

I think I'm just going to finish copying everything, then use a program like indent to reformat everything so it is consistent with the One True Brace Style. 

Scratch?

I know that's a stupid question.

id1 though has enough building blocks. Recreating hipnotic features shouldn't take too long.

What are you putting zx;lolhujbm,

daughter mashing keyboard.

What are you putting together? 

Is that a response to my previous minirant? Because i don't get it. 

But reading it myself now I'm not sure what I meant.

I'm deleting more posts than I post now.

Blame alcohol. 

So there's this thing called swype on new smart phones, I'm trying it out.not sure if I like it or not.this doesn't feel much faster than typing. Not being able to use two hands for typing is really annoying. 

swiftkey seems a bit better
