What are your opinions on Mod.io? It sounds like a beefed up alternative to Quaddicted, including some kind of optional monetization/donations system for content authors, and an automated content upload system (AFAIK, uploading to Quaddicted is a fully manual process). 

Yah let's monetise this quake shit yo 

QA$H MONEY 

Requires developers to add content uploading into their software. Would be like if we had a separate utility to upload maps/mods or a console command addition, but someone would have to make it.

I mean I guess it could be nice, but I'm one who likes manual compiling so... 

Yes, it would be a job for engine developers.

Mark V supports installing from Quadiccted, but Mod.io seems to be a beefed up alternative. Imagine creating a mod and uploading it from the engine itself, with the engine automatically handling all the packaging and dependencies in a standardized way.

How important is the GPU to Quake these days? I'm more familiar with Doom engines and I'm aware that the CPU is much more important than the GPU, even with OGL renderers such as GZDoom.

I know that BiTD the GPU was pretty important when the OGL version of Quake first hit but nowadays things seem to be very different.

Just a noob being nosy. 

If you plan to play Orl or AD maps with any kind of fluidity. 

 

Stupid question, but how do I set up Quake to automatically load last hard save after dying? By default it takes me back to the start of the level. Thanks. 

F9 defaults to Quickload if I am remembering correctly. 

If you want to distinguish between quicksaves and other saves, you can also bind another key to save to some other named savefile. So you could bind a key that does "save foo" and then bind another key to do "load foo".

And depending on what you're trying to do here, it also might be useful to know that Mark V does three rotating autosaves named auto_save_0, auto_save_1, and auto_save_2.

Been poking at this 2D Shooter thing the last couple months. Slow going as I'm learning Unity and C# as I go but things are picking up pace. :)

Yes F9 is quickload but I thought I seen some people on youtube autoload from last saved game just by hitting fire or jump upon dying. Don't think they're quickloading.
@Johnny Law: If I want to load a specific save (say second-to-last or older) then I don't mind going through the menu. Just thought there was a way to load most recent hard save at the click of a mouse. F6/F9 comes closest to what I want I guess. 

bind F2 "quicksave;menu_save"

Now, when you hit F2 and save the game, quickloading will load a state identical to the latest. 

That's the one, thanks mankrip 

Hmmmm, doesn't work. Seems to be trying to load quick.sav which doesn't exist. 

Put a "wait;" command between both commands, it should work.

Also, it will only work when you open the save menu by pressing F2. It won't work when the save menu is opened from the main menu. 

It keeps accessing quick.sav
I'm using QuakeSpasm 0.93 

bind F2 "save quick;menu_save"

works for me in Quakespasm.

Do any Quake engines have a command for "load the most recent save"? I don't know of any. 

yes that works, thanks ericw and mankrip. 

And just hitting F6 to quicksave, then F9 to quick load? 

The difference is minimal, but if it doesn't hurt anything, there's no need to be against it.

The savegame subsystem in Quake is something that could be vastly improved, in both usability and robustness. But most people don't care. 

Not a whole lot, just thought there was a way to "quickload" most recent save by hitting fire instead of F9. By default when you die, hitting fire loads the start of the level. Would be nice if this loaded the last hard save as I don't use F6/F9. Habit :)
