Actually Yes - An Interesting Piece Of Quake History

Those are some early shots from Arcanum, which was eventually released in 2011 (available on Quaddicted). Originally it was going to have more custom monsters, which had a kind of Dr. Frankenstein vibe. I am not sure if those monsters were ever released elsewhere but I still have 13 of those .mdl files from 2004; I just put them in a zipfile and it's under 2MB, so I could email them to you if you want (it's just the models as they were never finished with code/sounds/etc.).

Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the guy who created these back in 2004.
Wow...

I did vaguely remember those images but had no memory of what they were from.
That seems like a gold mine for any current mod (like Keep) that is trying to roll up lots of custom monsters into a single package. I assume they need a lot of coding still to make them functional & fun enemies.

@Tronyn
Wow! Thank you! It's really cool to see those enemies animated! They reminded me of those cenobites from Hellraiser's movies :)
@metlslime
Yep! That would be cool. But only a few of them are fully animated.

But apparantly I've been exorcised, no registry no where.
Might be for the best; don't have much about Quake to share nowadays.

How To Prevent Impulse 9 To Give All The Keys?
#31928 posted by Barnak on 2021/07/19 17:00:22
Under the default ID1, is there a command that gives all weapons and ammo, without giving all the keys at the same time?
I frequently use Impulse 9 but I don't want all the keys!
#31929 posted by mh on 2021/07/19 17:08:22
I just have an alias set to "give 1; give 2; give 3; give 4; give 5; give 6; give 7; give 8; give h 100; give s 100; give n 200; give r 100; give c 100"
It Appears To Work Great. Thanks Mh!

Permanent Full Quad?
#31931 posted by Barnak on 2021/07/19 17:26:03
Is there a way to get a permanent full quad without time limits, instead of Impulse -1 (or 255)?
Permanent Quad
#31932 posted by gila on 2021/07/19 20:12:12
I don't think so, but you can just bind it to some key, or even to move forward key as a workaround like:
bind w "+forward;impulse 255"
Positively Towards The Negative

Using impulse -1 to save a keystroke over impulse 255 is some next level cheating.
Quake Command Line
#31934 posted by lizard on 2021/07/25 02:10:10
I would like to know the significance of the - and + in a quake command line
Quake Command Line
#31935 posted by gila on 2021/07/25 08:10:46
I'm not sure, but I think "+" is used for commands or cvars that could also be typed in console, for example quake.exe +exec imba.cfg +skill 2 +map start.
While "-" is used for command line parameters that are used only once for the launch of the executable, for example quake.exe -winmem 16 -listen 8 -nocdaudio.
Most sourceports of the last decade however added a few of the command line parameters as console commands that can be used when the game is running, for example -game parameter can be used as "game xxx" from console to switch mods without exiting and restarting the executable again. Same thing for -hipnotic and -rogue command line parameters, the sourceports recognize the switch to mission packs if you use "game hipnotic" or "game rogue" in the console.

commandline:
`-foo` - stuff the engine has to explicitly check for at startup.
`+foo` - stuff the engine inserts into its command buffer to execute like any other command you might type at the console.
Note that Quake2-onwards (and thus also FTE) recognises `+set cvar value` (and +seta) as special and ensures those named cvars are set even before the engine can register them, which allows such cvars to affect initialisation before configs can even be read. These cvars will then ALSO be executed via the cbuf which will replace any config.cfg values for them (which a -set would fail to do, hence the need for such a hack).
Note that many engines will accept either -game and +game/+gamedir. -game will force the engine to initialise that specific gamedir from the start, while +game[dir] will execute configs from your id1 gamedir THEN try switching to the new gamedir after, which may result in your quake.rc/default.cfg/autoexec.cfg values getting mixed up between mods.
So you probably want to stick with -game.
Note that 'game hipnotic' or 'game rogue' commandline parameters are not special, and thus will probably not tweak the network protocol nor enable the mission-pack-specific huds.
binds:
`+foo` - will issue a `-foo` release event when the key is released.
`-foo` - not special, treated like any other bind.
Note that `bind a "+forward;+back` will insert `-forward;+back` when released, which is often not what was intended. create a pair of aliases to work around that.

Although in Quakespasm and its derivatives, and probably several other modern Quake engines too, if you try to activate hipnotic or rogue mod folders using the "-game" cmdline option or the "game" console command, those mod folders _are_ treated specially. The program will enable the engine code paths for the correct missionpack as if you had done "-hipnotic" or "-rogue" on the cmdline. This was to help keep people from shooting themselves in the foot since it's pretty clear what they're trying to do in those cases... although it does muddy the water about how all these ways of doing things are meant to behave.
(Similarly, activating the "quoth" mod folder is special-cased to implicitly activate "-hipnotic" as well.)
