O_o you mean switchable in game? that would be kind of cool... 

though the thought of custom weapons switching speeds turns my stomach. Same with fog effect controls. The mapper should have complete control over those factors. If the end user wants to customize let them learn it the hard way the way we did. 

metl: yes, 0.75. I can demo and screenshot for you at some stage. I didn't expect a quick fix. It's not a major headache anyway, I just thought you'd want to know.
E3-crunch, eh? I envy you and pity you at the same time :P 

Necros,
Only if it is a mapper controled function then there are some cool ideas you can come up with for its use. I'm usually the most stridently anti-elitist person that I know but mappers work too hard to make their work look good for the end user to just flip a button and make it look like shit. 

you've got it the wrong way! :P

it's when people make crappy coloured lit maps, then you switch it off, and it goes from shit to decent. ;) 

Already on my to-do list :)

And no, it won't be mapper controlled. 

Ohhhh, I was looking at it the wrong way!

Metlslime -- will it be a cvar then? In that case there are still work arounds . . . 

I was thinking more along the lines of strobing randomly selected colors

Surely you don't mean this? http://www.celephais.net/shite/quake68.jpg 

at the same time.

My first one -- Oh my eyes! Run from this heresy.

The second -- hmm, now, how do I incorporate a Disco in a Quake level?

Surely the first response stems from the reptillian, primitive side and the second the more evolved higher end. 

Looks like an old Sierra parser game in 3D. 

That pixelated daydream is either from Coagula or it is an orgy scene from Coligula with the jizm splatter being interperted in multicoloured particle effects. 

...looks like a typical custom engine there :P. 

Those are all screenshots i took during fitzquake development, when things went so catastrophically wrong that i thought it'd be nice to keep a memento. 

WooOOoowww... your screenshots looks like as if I took some drugs... cool... 8))
Does your quake engine works using heroin ??? ;-) 

when things went so catastrophically wrong that i thought it'd be nice to keep a memento.

Sweet.


Coming Soon: ksp2 - The Disco That Time Forgot... 

That's more of a 'shroom moment there. 

A whole set of drug triggers for mappers to play with.

trigger_drunk -- movement become exagerated, foggy vision
trigger_shrooms -- unfocused, fuzzy but hallucinogenic
trigger_acid -- sharply focused, sharply defined, moving objects have trailers, colors exagerated, throw in a little telekenisis while you are at it.
triiger_heroin -- I have no idea what that is like. 

... is very dangerous, like trigger_crack: it involved a lethal dependence !!! Too uch use kill the player... so use carefully... 

A substance that makes people look like zombies (hey, perfect for Quake then) yet so addictive people do it anyway I don't want any part of.

I can imagine using the trigs I mentioned as powerups instead for a post apocolyptic version of Quake. Something to mull over while I'm bored and supposedly working this afternoon.
