I mean rather than arguing with them after they say no.

Perhaps instead saying to yourself:

"Maybe that's fair. That probably is a lot of effort for the developers who do this without any pay"

or

"well I really want this feature, maybe I should teach myself some programming and see if I can implement it myself" 

Developers saying no is not a problem. 

No, no, your opinion is wrong. Or in your ass, at least. 

"Hey, you dropped this turd on the carpet, don't think you're getting away without having a good sniff of it." No, I ONLY ASKED A SIMPLE DAMN QUESTION! You guys jumped on my back like a pack of hungry wolves on a pile of bloody meat. I'm not responsible for your behavior and I won't take any of that shit. Learn some manners.

"Mugwump, if you want rtlighting in quake, you need one of FTE, DP, or Tenebrae." You think I don't know that? Like I said earlier, I asked specifically because of those mods among my favorites that have trouble running in DP and whose readme recommends QS or Fitz.

"The artists literally sat in front of Deluxe Paint with the Quake palette loaded and painted stuff precisely at the pixel level." So they chose to add blue to... wooden planks? I remember reading a discussion about it among visibly knowledgeable people saying that the non-standard palette id chose caused weird artifacts like that.

"Anyway, I would love to see weather effects in quakespasm/maps." THIS. Weather effects, like dynamic lights, benefit greatly to immersion.

Dwere, you didn't think that the missing body from the texture was because the body was supposed to be rendered in 3D? Tsk-tsk... 

At least my ass isn't located where my mouth should be. Opinions are subjective, therefore can be neither right nor wrong. 

 

I laughed, thanks. 

Sure, whatever floats your boat, pal... 

Bet that hi-res bump-mapped dung smells gooood, man. 

Why do you feel the need to act like a jerk? 

this is good stuff here. 

Learn some manners.

Says the guy who posted #2194 in response to #2191. lolbiscuits.

So they chose to add blue to... wooden planks?

Hehehe, just because you can find a few dodgy counter examples..hell, like another guy said, I'm sure you can find little elements that were photosourced if you dig hard enough...it doesn't change the fact that 95% of this shit was basically pixel pushed. I'm really not sure why this is such a tough thing to believe. 

 

when it comes to dealing with trolls... 

Come the fuck on, dude.

and don't even get me started on the Rogue textures... 

Unlike some of your and others' comments, #2194 wasn't intended to be mean, aggressive or insulting, it was a depiction of your attitude towards graphical enhancements. You gotta admit you DO sound like a bit of a zealot about it. I'm sorry if you felt offended, I know I can be blunt sometimes but it wasn't an attack. Can we please get past this once and for all?

I'm not saying they didn't do a hard job or didn't spend countless hours lovingly crafting their game, but putting it all on intent and disregarding technicalities is delusional. IMHO. With due respect. Do you think they would have gone with blocky pixels if they had a choice about it? 

If is a word god uses when he wants to have a laugh. 

God remains to be proven real. 

should be enough of a proof. 

Ha ha, nice one! You sure do create awesome worlds. Do you do that in seven days too? 

you infidel. even i need some rest. 

A supposedly omnipotent being needing some rest? Doesn't sound legit. 

troll elsewhere, leave this thread for engine-related topics please. 

Since when off-topic=troll, exactly? But agreed, this whole discussion should've been taken elsewhere. I did say so myself a few posts ago. I was just making tongue-in-cheek responses to your humoristic comments. Mugwump out. 

else is idc
