Yeah there are some threads about that already going on their forums, so the topic is out there.

Is your last thing referring to that open sore of a thread on the Steam forums? That guy is something else. Too bad people keep bumping that thread.

Oh I forgot to mention... there's an id developer that posts in the "Early FPS" thread on Something Awful every now and then. He's quite aware of the mess on Steam and talks wishfully about doing something with QuakeSpasm but it's not a project that gets attention/resources. It's interesting to see they've done something a little different with GOG (and also that they've gone to the trouble of making a GOG release), so maybe they'll also clean up the Steam release a bit?

Random other thing: he mentioned a way to forcibly download a "Windows only" Steam game on OS X or Linux, if you need to get the data files. First you need SteamCMD from https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

(And also I think you need a "regular" Steam installation in place, maybe?)

Then run it like this:

./steamcmd.sh +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +login (user) (pass) +app_update (appid) +quit

Substitute in your username and password, and the app ID of the game. Quake's app ID is 2310. I just now tried it out on OS X and yup it downloaded all the Quake files (under ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Quake ).

Haha GOG just changed their Quake download so that the DOS version mounts a CD for the soundtrack music, and the Windows version is SOL.

Not in the Swedish dialect I was using. It's not a common word, so I forgive you for not realizing. It means 'One who reads Ziggy, and then rants'

Here's some dutch dialect

There's a first part in Don Quichotte, when he just returns home from cruisade after he's been beaten up by a "Bisquaier", whatever giant that has been.
He is complaining that he is missing a chamber in his house.
Everyone tells him that he is just not well and he should go to sleep.
Still he keeps complaining about this missing parting while no one believes him.
This goes on untill they call a doctor, because he can't be convinced of this missing apartment.
When finally the doctor arrives, he asks which departure do you mean.

The one that has stolen the chambers, is, while in parting, in suspension of aparting, waiting for your departure.

Ziggurants - Zi Who Rents

There is no meaning in this, every tenant should know the meaning, even Cerphantes.

It also happens with a fresh compile from the source.

#25900 posted by necros on 2015/08/30 20:22:27

I didn't know dzip was open source?

#25901 posted by Spirit on 2015/08/30 20:43:20

Sure is, public domainish: http://speeddemosarchive.com/dzip/download.html

How else could great engines like reQuiem have built-in dz support :)
