GOG Directories?

#29714 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2017/09/12 15:48:30

Working on tutorials for Quake mapping.

Does GOG put games in specific directory like Steam does? Can you select where it goes? I want to be able to tell newbs where to find their pak files.

#29715 posted by Joel B on 2017/09/12 21:05:48

Typically in the "GOG Games\Quake" folder on some drive.

BTW are you aware of http://neogeographica.com/site/pages/tools/quakestarter.html ? That's my own little newbie-assistance project. (Which includes some automated attempts to find existing pak files.)

No looks good gonna read the whole thing on my lunch break today... interesting.

And thanks for the heads up about GOG. I didn't really want to buy Quake a third time. Wait, actually i got it for free at QuakeCon when q1 came to Steam they gave us all codes. SO I guess I am still using my WinQuake CD assets. :)

Just noticed your Steam Controller for Quake setup. Nice!

-hipnotic -rogue -game <modname>

Does -hipnotoc do something cool for .gravity to work on individual entities? My trigger_setgravity and item_antigrav_belt entities do nothing.

Is there a specific file in the engine code that details what happens for WriteByte when using -rogue. I get wierd errors when using either -hipnotic or -rogue in my Keep mod but I'm also using very different IT_WHATEVERs for self.items and self.items2.

The Rubicon ladder code in PlayerPrethink was setting self.gravity to 1.

What Was The Font

#29722 posted by Mugwump on 2017/09/20 02:08:13

used in Rubicon textures?

#29723 posted by metlslime on 2017/09/20 02:55:55

Rubicon 1, the terminator font (some version of it)
Rubicon 2, microgramma extended bold

Thanks Metl

If you or anyone else can remember the exact version of the Terminator font, it'd be nice.

#29725 posted by metlslime on 2017/09/20 07:54:29

well, it was like 19 years ago... I just downloaded one of those free fonts that said it was the terminator font. I remember there was more than one and they were not all the same (some letters like the 'A' were different.) You could probably just download a bunch of them and see which ones look closest. A quick google brings up one font called "Terminator Two" which could be it, but maybe not. Another good way to tell them apart is the numbers look different in the different versions available. So find the one with the matching numbers.

Fun fact, I have actually made a new font from scratch about 5 years ago to use for rubicon 3, which is kind of a hybrid between terminator and micgrogramma. Of course rubicon 3 doesn't exist, but this font still does.

Also, when I was making that I did some research and found that the terminator logo was adapted from a font from the 70s called "China" owned by VGC. There is also a recent commercial font called Changeling Neo based on China, but with lowercase letters added. But it's not free and of course it wasn't the one I used for Rubicon 1, if that's what you're trying to track down.

Well,

#29726 posted by Mugwump on 2017/09/20 14:33:53

thanks for the detailed explanations. If a RRP 2 ever gets going, it'd be cool if the guys involved could use that new font of yours.

Did you guys see this? Is this DP? Pretty cool but they need to "pop" both visually and aurally.

Scotland?

Headed there in 3 days. Any must-sees? Cheers in advance!

Generic.

Don't expect reliable weather that's for sure.

Edinburgh is a real nice city. Bustly, but lots of cool old architecture. Glasgow has more down to earth culture apparently.

Anywhere in the North West has beautiful scenery but also the worst of the weather.

Go to http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp , and put in

From: Glasgow
To: Durness
Via: Nostie
Via: Torridon
Via: Gairloch

Hell of a trek but there's a lot of stunning stuff there.

Thanks, Shambler!

You Know How You Hear Something

And end up hearing about it a lot for the next several days. Just heard about a coworker moving to Scotland.

We had a wonderful time in Edinburgh recently, and my wife when out on her own hook also had great fun stumping around the Isle of Skye. Cf. the mid-part of this picture dump from my trip: https://twitter.com/joel_k_baxter/timelines/888571344329203714
