bought a Radeon Saphire HD6850 for �120.
A month later the HD7970 was launched.
I have only a cheap Computer from 2005, so the tophat won't last for me.

Wooden spoon trick 

I have de-emphasized the Quake soundtrack (as it was suggested in QuakeSpasm's readme) and what a result it is - there are indeed many cues that I haven't heard before. 

The internet throws a lot of technical mumbo jumbo if I search how to do that. How did you do it and how are you sure it was done correctly? 

 

I've used this little utility called WaveEmph which can be found here. It also tells what pre-emphasizing actually is and gives the fundamentals of the de-emphasizing process. Basically it puts back the treble that was buried owing to the production methods of the time. The utility itself is easy to handle but requires an additional system file (msvbvm50.dll). Also it must be run under compatibility mode to overcome a critical error.

As for the other question, I'm pretty sure that it accomplishes what it sets out to do as I clearly hear some cues in the tracks (when played through QuakeSpasm's SLD - which were faintly audible before - especially on track6 (e1m1). My older .mp3s (that were running fine with mp3 supported Fitz) were coming out poor under QS, so I've re-ripped the tracks and de-emphasized them - now they feel like enhanced (albeit slightly). The strange thing is, neither Foobar /w ASIO coupled with an X-Fi Titanium nor my Sony NWZ Walkman produces the same sound. 

QuakeSpasm's 'SDL'. 

so that's what quakespasm/rmqengine do with the sounds under the -sndspeed 44100 param. i always assumed it was voodoo magic 

a pre-released version of quake. it doesnt run on modern OS, so maybe some coders could modify the engine to support bsp 27 ver. is it possible? 

Check http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2611 for hacked bsp files.

I do recommend using Dosbox however for the real experience. ;)

a lot of movies now tend to be like video games. 

I thought it was rather video games that tend to be like movie nowadays... did I missed something ? 

Hey guys, I just uploaded part 1 of a new map analysis video I've made for my l4d2 map "cornered".

In part 1 we look at the 1st rough draft of the map and then go through a couple of revisions up until the pre-beta version of the level. In part 2 (I'll link it here when its out) we will look at the beta version of the map and then all the changes I made to it leading up to the full release.

I hope you find it interesting :)

watch most blockbusters, they're more action than anything else. Good example, Sucker Punch. 

 

How about really creepy music vid.

and sooo much better :D 

Hi! Can anyone link me to any up to date information on how to get worldcraft working with quake 1?

I can't seem to find anything about it. Can you use a more recent Half-life based version of it to edit Quake1?

Any advice much appreciated :-)
