You can play each level on its own if you like and are able to collect all the weapons available up until that point. So for instance, there's a nailgun in each level even though you might have picked one up in the previous map already.
It does not mean the player is strapped of all his gear with each level change!

Of course, ideally everyone should balance their maps in a way that makes sure the player doesn't carry a huge amount of surplus ammo over to the next map.

Anyway... Func might have flamewars, but much better than those sterile forums where naughty words are banned and most pedantic and time-free (cough) people spam the shit out of the place aka mw. 

I agree! Behaviour should be learnt and a filter will not change an arsehole into a friendly person 

 

increase size of the HUD and console text pls? thanks 

What Quake engine are you using? 

starting the game like "quakespasm -game bastion +sv_aim 1 +scr_menuscale 2 +scr_conscale 2 +scr_hudscale 2 +scr_conwidth 1920 +sv_aim 1 +r_maxsurfs 4000 +r_maxedges 16000 +r_farclip 16384 +skill 1 +map e1m1rmx"

either
+scr_conscale 2
nor
+scr_hudscale 2
does not seem to do anything, I also pls need some more limits removed because some maps crash at certain points, thanks 

Quakespasm has a few cvars for scale, try these:

+scr_conscale 2 +scr_crosshairscale 2 +scr_menuscale 2 +scr_sbarscale 2


which maps crash? 

egyptian "retrojam6_breezeep" crashes when trying to open door after multiple ambush in the dungeon/chamber plus "symphony of science" crashes when trying to pick up crowbar in the lab 

* "retrojam6_breezeep" crashes after opening silver door (after the ambushes)
** console text still tiny 

Are you using the latest version of Quakespasm? I've never heard if sucheck a thing happening in my map. 

If 2 is still tiny for you, use a higher number then. Just type the command in the console. Do you play Quake on a cinema screen?

Regardless of font size, you can just type "condebug" after the crash and copy the error message from condump.txt. Probably trying to run the map in AD or some mod. 

Quakespasm has a Scale slider in its preferences menu which tweaks multiple things at once. That has always worked well for me. 

I have some video gear from my previous business that would make it extremely convenient to record demos posted here. I was wondering if people who post .dem files would mind if I recorded and posted theirs on a YT channel?

So for example I'd take some MapJam .dems record them and post them. I'd put a graphic on screen to give credit to the player and of course the map author as well.

I like watching Quake Grave etc. using Chromecast on a tv so that's why I gravitate more to streaming as opposed to just watching dems in game.

What do people think? Would you be cool if CI recorded an posted your gameplay .dems? 

You're welcome to mine whenever I post them! 

Excellent! I will probably do a trial run later this week and will startbwith some of yours. 

You could check my speedrun of my first map on http://www.quaketastic.com in the demos/speedrun folder (file is gravelpitdayaspeed.zip, and needs quoth to play) 

And it's a good choice as I have yet to play Quoth! 

tho videos with commentary are more appreciated 

A webtool to play, rec and upload .dem's automatically would be awesome. 

I'm trying to get my hardware to behave and record at 60hz/fps correctly. Something's going wrong in the pipeline tho. I'll figure it out. The way my setup works is HDMI out into a device called a Pix240i.

That's a specialized recorder for digital cameras I had left leftover from my production business. I can pipe in a mic to the recorder and do commentary but I'm not sure I'll do that for every video. Thanks for the feedback. Hope to have the refresh rate solved by the weekend so I can do some of these.

The Pix cost me a fortune and I want to put it to use instead of buying another solution or using Fraps.

Baker pretty much disappeared from everywhere after February 20... 

Hope they're ok :( 

Mugwump (aka bfg666) disappeared too, from both func_msg and quakeone.com Last login in January.
He was a huge spammer, so I wonder how no one noticed this anomaly ;)
