Don't be a penis. 

This is where I usually map.

I'm not sure how many people will care about this, but I recently discovered that Nvidia is now installing and enabling tracking and telemetry software with their drivers. I don't recall being asked for permission to do this during the install.

It can be disabled (supposedly) from the "Help" menu in the Nvidia control panel. I disabled it from the Windows services control panel, deleted all the folders and also added their various ip addresses into my hosts.

There is some useful information in this post:

I checked some of their log files and while I saw nothing suspicious, there is no guarantee that everything is logged. You know how companies are these days, give them an inch and they get greedy. 

Nice! Did you paint this yourself? 

I hope that AMD can catch up soon. Right now I'm honestly considering uninstalling the Geforce Experience shitshow and just using older drivers through Windows Update/Manual Downloads... 

ATI have always been one step behind Nvidia (with the exception of the famed 9800 Pro) and I don't see their situation becoming any different now that they're wearing the AMD brand. 

For Nvidia drivers I always use the custom option and only install the graphics driver and the PhysX software, so it's really annoying to find all this other crap running on its own. 

re: painting. Nope. And old friend of mine needed some money and I commissioned it. I've had is since about '98. Its 5 feet by 4! 

I seem to recall having plenty of beef with him about.....fuck knows what now. He was wrong for sure tho.

But now, loads of positive posts about Quake, maps, screenshots, other games, films. I think the beef season is definitely over :) 

Heh, I remember the shitstorm started when I called OTP out over something right after joining in.

I'm glad to see you've decided to bury the hatchet. Now if some others could do the same...

@dump Cool! I'm jealous. :) 

AMD also has really good open source Linux drivers by now, making it definitely more attractive than NVIDIA... using them right now, no hassle and works OOTB.

go AMD! 

It was working just fine a moment ago but now at the time of this writing it's giving me a 403 Forbidden page about accessing some "vbseo.php" file.

What in the world is going on with that site? 

 

 

It was good when it, err, nevermind. 

Particle For Lg Blood Or Sprite [EDIT]

Hi to all :)

Recently a fellow player gave me a rocket explosion sprite, s_explod files, its nice for competitive gaming.

Can i do the same for LG blood, some simple fast load sprite, or custom particle?

What name should i gave to the files?

Some file specifications or some specific file editor?

Thanks for your attention, btw I'm on Ezquake 

 

Quake blood uses pixel particles, no sprite or texture, only a number to reference the pallet color.


Unless you use DarkPlaces. 

There might be a way to hack it in with effects.txt. Not sure how though. 

Seven @ QuakeOne.com knows a lot about that. Baker here has done some research into it while testing particle effects for QSS. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think not all engines support effectinfo.txt. DP & QSS do but the guy said he runs EZQuake. 

there's lots of good content and enthusiastic fans there, glad to see it back 

 

Hi Qmaster
Thanks for your kind reply
Ezquake uses Joequakes particle system, it seems.
So a blood.tga image file can be used, Im not sure about image requirements, like pallete or alpha channel, Im no IT wise
I will try using that
A sprite would be faster in loading, since this is about playing performace
But i will try it, i I'm succefull, I will post the follow-up

Thanks and have a nice day 

Use index color 255 (ugly pink) for transparency, otherwise an alpha channel (mask in gimp) will do.
