About That Custom Lg Blood
#29237 posted by Bgnr on 2017/06/20 23:49:07
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

Pallete

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

Heh, That's What I Was Thinking Too...

Remixes Of Id Maps
I am considering a remix of an id map for the 9999 jam. For those who have done remixes in Quoth or AD did you literally use the map source to start with or did you just build by hand?
Would it be considered bad form if I used the id mapsource as a starting point? I am planning on making big changes so it won't be a lazy re-texture.
Would appreicate opinions.

In the vast majority of cases, you're better off starting from scratch than using the id mapsources. Fixing the brushwork errors alone (of which there are lots) can take the fun out of it.

@OTP
Heh, I didn't even think of that. Good point. I make enough of my own errors.

E4 E4!

Just please do anything other than e1

I Hate E4
Well hate is the wrong word... not my favorite episode. I was thinking about Crypt of Decay which is E2M3 (for a very specific personal reason) but it's too ambitious for the jam at my current skill level.
I think I am gonna do an original smaller map or a remix of a smaller Doom 2 SP level so I can actually get something completed in time.

Anybody Knows

where I could find HQ samples of the game's sounds? I don't have my Quake CD at hand and I'm trying to make some ambient music for the knave jam, for which I'd like to use some modified Quake sounds.

HQ Means CD Quality

44kHz 16-bit. I think the sounds in the original game were sampled @ 22kHz, right?
#29255 posted by mfx on 2017/06/23 19:15:41

Yes 22Khz
Many... but not all of the sound effects from Quake 1 were from a sound library called Sound Ideas. I have access to that library and could probably track down SOME of the sounds. i.e. I have the teleport sounds as my notification sound on my phone.
:) However, these are commercially licensed tracks and it's like finding a needle in a haystack as they have been renamed for the game. Anyway, just fyi. If you let me know which sounds in the game you are looking for by filename I can search for them. No guarantees I will actually find them though. The sound library has tens of thousands of tracks! And I don't have access to all of them.

Don't Know Filenames

What I'm looking for are mainly Ranger sounds, monster growls - especially the ogre and death knight - shotty and grenade sounds (explo & bounce), possibly LG too.

Oh, And Forgot To Mention

lift and door sounds. Anything mechanical, ideally.
Ranger sounds and monsters were probably done by NIN for the most part. Or they've been so processed I won't be able to find them. I'll see what I can find though.
You know you can use PakExplorer to audition sounds, SEE THE FILENAMES and rip them out of the pak right?
