Explore or Die, by Speedy. Love the textures and usage here! Any other maps make use of this set? 

That's what the tags are for, it's the "cr8" texture set (yeah, not too intuitive but hey): https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?filtered=cr8

zsp1 is difficult though. 

Snap, I forgot about the tags. Cheers. 

Some guy has been making chibi quake characters and such!

A Vomitus! 

Arne, and he's done lots of cool stuff. Check out his main andriod arts site as well. 

Hi all!

I will be doing streams of Quake at my channel here: www.twitch.tv/sheporiginale.

I was having issues with it, but it turns out I have to set it to windowed mode so it can be properly captured. Otherwise you can view the Loading bar or the console the entire time.

I already have a few vids up. I did have some DOOM ones up too, but I didn't save them "forever", so they expired and disappeared.

Anyhow, please post up if you do any streaming! 

Is there a tool that takes in a 16*16px palette image and spits out a palette.lmp? 

What's the best way to do this while maintaining the classic quake look? I just want to be able to do this easily without buying a server or doing any crazy stuff. 

I'm not sure, but i think you can save it as *.raw and then rename it to *.pal. (palette.lmp is special in that it doesn't have the normal .lmp header, so it really is just a raw RGB format.) 

Currently using Quaddicted's 'random map' link to choose the next map to play, after which I plan to review. Loving that feature, might come across something I may have otherwise missed out on.

Would probably be neat if I could click a similar button in Injector and it'll select (not download) a random item from the list! 

Just checked out a VOD from your Quake stream and a few things bugged me:

You should be broadcasting in 16:9 resolutions so you don't get those nasty black lines on the sides of the video.

What software are you using to stream? While the bitrate and visual quality of the stream is fine it looks like you are using screen region capture and you can see your task bar and window borders in the video. That looks really bad! You should be using GameSource capture (available in OBS for free and paid in Xsplit) or if screen region is all you can do, then set the borders better so you can't see any windows UI in the stream.

And just a subjective thing, but I think you were talking too much while playing. Also talking about random rl crap is fairly off-putting as no one watching really cares about that stuff. They will care about your thoughts on the game and what is happening during play.

But nice to see people streaming Quake :D

So it sounds like Doom 4 isn't going so well...

Though honestly I cannot imagine how a Doom 1/2 game could even work with realism graphics. The level design was so abstract and rough that it only worked because of the "low-fi" graphics.

That being sad, I would LOVE a Doom 3 sequel with less cheesy poop (Betruhuhuhuger, fugly Hell, etc) and more explorative gameplay. More oldschool weapons/damage/combat but dark and alien. 

 

I'd love a more stylised approach though. Bioshock infinite and Dishonoured do a great job with that slightly cartoony, slightly hand-painted look. They also both do well with really physical BLAM BLAM combat. If it took itself seriously, that'd be the worst. 

I want this, but in three dee: http://art.kracov.org/gameart/doom/doompixel.png 

Lol

Wolfenstein - Earth shattering, genre defining
Doom - Even more so
Quake - Even more so
Quake II - About the same amount of awesomeness as Quake
Quake III - A tad less maybe, but still awesome.
Doom 3 - Pretty awesome
Rage - Less decent than Doom 3, but technically awesome
Doom 4 - ? 

id should've been shrunk into a technology developer years ago, they haven't made a good game since Quake 

I basically want it to be MetroidQuake with a Doom theme... 

I disagree, personally I loved Quake 2, 3, Doom 3 and Rage (although the last level was one of the most boring and underwhelming maps of any game ever). Rage is easily their most polished game but it feels like the last few levels were missing or something. I personally think Doom 2 is their worst game (which is a shame because the double barrel shotgun in that game is the best weapon of any game ever). 

being a fan of id and a company and their ideas stopped somewhere between quake 2 and quake 3 for me. It's all been a band rehashing their greatest hits and cashing in since then, for me.

Times have changed and the whole industry has changed. I evaluate id now the way I evaluate raven: they are doing what they think needs to be done in an industry that is now entirely different than it once was.

When every moron has a smart phone, games are no longer primarily on computer and they are also no longer primarily for smart people. There's no room left for earth-shattering, genre-defining, satanic counter-culture like Doom was, or Quake was. I have so much admiration for those guys who were able to express a Lovecraftian POV in an FPS back in the day, but even when people try to do it now, it's overdone and it certainly isn't counterculture. 

We need to get czg to go fix id and get them to make a new game based in a Lovecraftian world with proper level design. 

I think Doom (esp. Doom 3)'s vision of hell was pretty boring, and far less interesting than the Lovecraft universe that inspired Quake.

I don't especially think that Lovecraft is overdone in games. Sure, there have been a few games that have been influenced by it, and some that are directly using it, but compared to military FPS games, the numbers are basically zero.
