Command Prompt + AguirRe's txqbsp. Its fast, stable and VERY EASY TO USE!!!

(Not as far as I know) 

I'm not sure why but there is **** for Q1 support docs for GTKR 1.5.0. I can't seem to get the compilers configured right, it seems to want to default to Q3 compilers. There's that and Zerowing's gamepacks link is a 404, and there's nothing about how to get GTKR configured for Quake 1. This is frustrating. 

forget it, i just forgot had to remake the .game file. all good. thx for hearing my rant. 

Is a bit like that, Google just throws up lots pages of dead links.

Here's the main mapping place, Inside3d for modding and if there's a dedicated modeling forum then someone let me know.

I will say that there's a lot less timewasters in Quake1. Snarky fuckers in a higher percentage, but there you go. 

Well I'm now at a loss. I think I need to make a new default_build_menu.xml because the one that comes with 1.5.0 is for Quake 3. I have no idea where to go with this... Google pretty much fails.

Anyone ever set up the build menu and get compiling from Radiant working properly for Quake 1? 

what sort of minimum set up did you stitch together to get Aquire's NehQuake to work without Nehahra present?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to have a "0" gravity in a map ? I think Quoth2 allows it, right ? 

As I remember it needed inside it's own directory a fake packfile that simulated to the engine that Neh was present.

The packfile has a sprite and a map in it, those being the essentials.

Isn't there already an entity called func_viewthing or somesuch that could be used for statues? Does it require precaching as well? 

you made my work flow today 100.88 percent easier. I was going to follow the pop up error trail to create dummy files otherwise. 

 

why not give sikkpin's editor a shot? it's very similar to gtkr and it's made for q1 

You are referring I would assume to this thread:

sikkpin's QuakeEd 3.1 (build 102. I will check it out. Thanks for the heads up; cheers :D 

No gravity at all isn't possible, as 0 will default to normal gravity, but you can make the gravity very low. 

Thanks for the info, I was not sure about that point ;) 

You can't set the gravity multiplier on individual entities to 0, for the reason lardarse describes. But you can set sv_gravity to 0, which works because cvars can have non-zero defaults. I wouldn't recommend it though, because the player can't properly land, so even when you're against the floor you can't jump. 

So a map with no gravity, like in space, would be very difficult to do.. unless a "fly mode" is enabled... Maybe a good idea for later ...
Thanks :) 

I have a question about sounds I want to add in my map (Quoth2 based): is there any specific format I have to respect ? During beta test, it has been noticed the sound, after some time, turns to metallic buzzy effect... any idea where it can come from ? 

11khz mono.
The more sounds are played simultaneously (especially if they are loud/bass), the worse it sounds. 

Thanks... what if sounds are 22kHz or 44kHz ? Can it cause soundcard crash ? 

..and 8bit or 16 bit mono ? 

8bit.
If the sounds are 22khz etc, they usually aren't played in regular engines, I think. 

space zero G maps, have you looked at Gyro? You can set various physics properties on entities, among them "hovering" which counters gravity IIRC.

sounds:

Engine needs 44.1kHz sound support, which many have, but your good sounds will stick out among the low quality Quake ones.

Metallic buzzing: Maybe distortion? Digital sounds can't be louder than 0 dB, otherwise you'll get bad clipping. Especially when several sounds come together, like an ambient sound plus monster, player and weapon sounds... the volume adds up, and then you get clipping.

Make any new sounds around -8 or -10 dBFS, often lower, and ambient sounds can be at -20 dBFS or similar.

Quake can't handle too many sounds at the same time, unless you do it right.

higher sample rate sounds are normally roughly downsampled at runtime, which costs lots of processing power, and can maybe make your soundcard puke. Theoretically. Unlikely though.
