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 :) 

any news on your map pak

I'm just sort of building stuff with the idea of it all being part of some full-length adventure game using modern quake engine tech, not really quake levels.

No imminent release date I'm afraid :} 

After the Wikia debacle and other transgressions, you'll have to release a Quake version to appease the Quake gods (Vondur)! 

I was always aware that the chances of such a project going tits up are pretty high, so I am deliberately designing all the content in such a way so that if the aforementioned tits were to assume a vertical trajectory, then most of the stuff can be minimally reworked and released as Quake content without everything being lost. 

No imminent release date I'm afraid :}

gotta wait, anyway 

I suppose it depends on if your project is a cow or a woman.

Either way, finish someday. 

Spam. 

 

seeing some screenshots of a cream colour like map, but don´t remember if it was coloured lighting or not or if it was released.

It the colour is more subtle you could go just with coloured lighting. The effect is good, just check the exterior of my jam 2 map. 

Or I'll tan-ify it and make an iktan.wad for those desert persian arabic palaces. 

eventually IKBlue will be converted to all colors in the quake palette. IKPurple, IKGrey, IKFullbrightRow... 

up to two progs.dat files simultaneously, is it possible to modify Q engine to make it support a multiple progs.dat files

progs.dat
progs2.dat
progs3.dat etc 

How hard is to make an IK red? And more importantly, how hard is to make the same change in all the textures so they stay coherent? I always wanted to learn to make textures and this seems like it could be an easy thing to try, but would like to know in advance.
