Func_Msgboard: RemakeQuake

Posted by ijed on 2008/11/15 04:22:38

This is a thread about a project currently underway to remake Quake one.

It involves upgrading what exists already in order to play and look better or at least differently in all probable situations and enhance what is already there in this great game.

So we're remixing all the maps, monsters, and the player.

A specific engine in order to solve long-standing issues isn't out of the question, the main concerns being cross-OS support for features that should be common, like entity alpha and multiplayer. These things exist in various forms, but there's still no standard, at least today.

There's a great wealth of resource on this board - the one thing that doesn't exist here is apathy.

So, we're fishing for contributors. If you can make a map, animate or code and want to see this monster through to its conception then you're on the team.

Over the next few days I'll post info on what currently exists, and where it's headed.

As long as this railgun is so disgusting, why not make it an Alien Arm cannon? You have to get out the chainsaw and saw it off.

Because There Are No Aliens In Quake

saw a shambler arm off, and use it instead of LG.
Or cut down a Hell Knight arm, and shoot out those sparkling sizzling firework.

Or A Shub Penis

There is already an idea floating around, but will have to see what happens. We're very busy.

But Shub Is Female?

Now I'm all confused and scared at the thought of a hermaphroditic Shub. :(

Do A Google Image Search

The horror, the horror.

Didn't Find

The references I was looking for, but basically there's a collection of black and white line drawings by a few different artists that have shub as a hermathrodite. With two peni. The giz of one is black and the other white - life and death, I seem to remember.

I hope you're all looking forward to the new Shub-Niggurath.

giga-shambler (lol, wtf) looks pretty cool, but what's with the cheery little orange guy under shub?

Railgun

#373 posted by madfox on 2009/09/05 19:35:41

I saw the use of a railgun in RQ and was shattered by the rather clumpsy wrist thump that was used.
As I tried the spiral launch attack I might as well try the railgun also.

It hasn't yet been positioned so it might look too much in screen.

Be Patient

I don't have max installed at home (thanks Vista) so the new version is waiting until monday / tuesday.

In any case it is a different weapon, just with a similar place in the toolbox.

Didn't mean to trivilaise.

I was playing the old Quake ripoff Chasm: the Rift, where it has the ability to blow off enemies' limbs. Would something like this be possible in remakequake?

#380 posted by ijed on 2009/09/16 22:34:41

Was done for ragdoll Quake (can't remember the proper name) which was a MP DP mod with dismemberment that basically painted the walls and floor.

We decided to use Gyro (the same physics code it used) but avoid ragdoll / dismemberment.

We've talked back and forth about locational damage, but so far I'm not convinced we could have it without bloating the project another X decades beyond its sell by.

The problems are different animations, skins for each respective dismemberment / damage multiplied by the amount of dismemberable monsters and a completely reworked collision system (shot to legs = shot to legs).

We're with a very heavy workload already and still haven't even started alot of the monsters and have no finished monsters, although some of the base ones are close.
