Hmm... That makes everything a bit more complicated but it's still quite easy: Go buy Q1 and install it, damnit! ;) 

It is quite possible that we 'talked' before.

I did a series of maps called FMB(For My Babies), which were generally cobbled together from other peoples left-overs. I also used to visit the old BSPHQ and get involved in all sorts of 'mapping' things. (I was quite thrilled to see one of my old maps (A2D2, two DM maps made by Pingu, joined by me into an SP map) still being played at the speed runners site even this year!)

So, if we did talk in the past: yeh, I'm alright.

If not: I'm still alright and I hope you are too! 

I've just tried Fitzquake and I have a kind of 'reverse shadows' effect. Do I remember this from another version of Quake - a much heralded mod springs to mind (but not its' name)? 

damn. I remember the reverse shadows problem from glquake, but i thought i had fixed that in fitzquake. I think the problem was that glquake mistakenly thinks you can do multitexture, but you can't. This can happen even on some cards that do it, but only in some bitdepths (i think TNTs could only do SGIS_multitexture in 32bpp, but ARB_multitexture in 16bpp.) But like i said, i thought that i had fixed that. Can you tell me which version of fitzquake and what video card? 

... I like it a lot (it's the only Quake engine I run.) Version 0.70 and all others run perfect on my Radeon 7200 as long as I stay with my non-current driver, otherwise it fails completely (ATI is the suspect here.)

My second box is a P2-266 with a pair of Voodoo 2's in SLI mode. If I run version 0.60, it's fine. However, version 0.70 results in total acid flashback texture wackiness causing me to wonder if the Voodoo 2's are in fact possessed. Not a big deal though, just strange. 

Fitzquake version 0.70, November 3, 2002
P4 2.0
WindowsXP
ATI Rage Fury

I'll try it with my Radeon 9700 Pro tomorrow/Friday

Finished the level. Very good. But can the next one be bigger and longer and more enemies and, and ...

I also get psychedelic acid effects when running FitzQuake 0.70 on my old P233 Voodoo2 box. It runs fine on my Geforce3 though. It's probably the old 3dfx miniGL thingy that doesn't like FitzQuake (or vice versa). 

the reason i asked, Metl is that i like everything about Fitzquake except that it still has the old max edicts in there... if you took those maxs out, well... i'd be very happy. ;) 

psychedelic effects: screenshots please. (you can email them if you want)

mike: right after "video mode blah blah initialized" in the console, it should say something about multitexture. Can you tell me what it says?

necros: i think i can manage that. Not sure when the next version will be out, though -- right now i have some stuff in an intermediate state, so some features are broken (or, only work at some resolutions.) 

i think its time for you to do FMB_xx, Qexpo 2003 is arriving soon! :) 

and considering how many mappers have posted downloads of their unfinished maps (than, czg, etc...) you should have plenty to work with. 

well, he does. :P 

I tried replacing the 3dfx miniGL with the "full" ICD and then it worked much better. There are still some weird texture stuff going on, though. Not a big problem for me, since GLQuake works fine on the old box. 

OK, after figuring out how to read the text as it whizzed past my eyes, this is what it says:

gl_ext_texture_env_combine found
sound initialisation
set primary sound buffer format: yes
using secondary sound buffer
2 channel(s)
16 bits/sample
11025 bytes/sec
directsound initialised
sound sampling rate: 11025cdaudio_init: no cd in player
cd audio initialised

joystick not found -- no valid joystick (a5)

Does that help at all?

It says: -

"gl_arb_multitexture found" is what i was looking for. That means that your video card says it supports multitexture, so fitzquake tries to use it. Hmm... 

arb arb arb arb! 

Just to confirm, Radeon 9700 Pro is working perfectly at 800 x 600 @ 32bpp.

No reverse shadows ....

.... so what do I play now?

RPGSP1! ;)

Seriously though, check Underworldfan's Top 50 list of maps and episodes. There might be some newer things on there that you haven't played. Also, check through his review list. There's some good stuff in there.

Played, and enjoyed, RPGSP1 when you first released it. My kind of level - the wind tunnels were brilliant.

There is not much in the way of Quake1 that I haven't played. I was after some pointers to other games where I could use the power of my Radeon 9700 Pro (I am waiting for Half Life 2, but meanwhile ...) 

Check these threads for a few lists of quality games.

Thanks for the compliments. :) 

Good work kona but you could introduce the skills there is only one skill :)
The texturing is good and the structures is terrible !!! I think a dark yellow sky isn't bad for your map but green is good :))) .
No, it's a joke good work, continue ! 

... 

Played it, had fun ;-)
