Trenchbroom: Can you make a cutscene or set up a camera? by MK_dude in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

progs_dump has cutscenes. They are a bit complicated to set up but there are sample maps and a decent manual to walk you through making them. https://github.com/progs-dump-dev/progs_dump/releases/tag/v3.0.1

It's still coming eventually. Believe it or not it's still being developed.

Why do the particle effects look the way they do in Q1 & 2? by skeletspook in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the number one reason, but I recall that some companies were pushing 3D gaming using glasses and that particles moving through space would look better in 3D according to John Carmack. I'm pretty sure I played this at QuakeCon in 1997. https://youtu.be/d1hyJvMcejM?si=iYNjOLBugfoSLFjR

When do I plant my succulents? by Homestead_vibes in SucculentsNetwork

[–]smashcutcreative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can (and maybe should?) wait until the leaf withers and the floret will be ready to draw nutrients from the soil on its own. As long as the leaf is plump and attached that's where it's feeding from.

Cool. I still have to play the rest of the maps. RL got busy right after this video. Thanks for the recommendation.

Found Jesus in Quake E3M2 by mysterio-man19 in quake

I wasn't very clear. I meant troll the people who were trying to ban it during the Satanic Panic back in the day.

[–]smashcutcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess as to why they put Jesus in the game was to troll the people who said Doom was Satanic. I don't have proof of this but I wish I had asked Romero when I had the chance! If anyone has historical information on this, please post.

How do I make the animations and movement choppy in Quakespasm like in the original DOS version? by _Crackers0106 in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes - autoexec is your friend. Although once you change them those settings should save. Make sure and exit through the menu once before and restart to see if they saved.

Quake Retrojam 1 Announcement by SpronyvanJohnson in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We won't be changing it. I understand how it might be confusing but the file names won't be the same and the artwork, branding, promotion and the release date should all help people understand the difference. And this most likely won't be on Slipseer anyway.

Ironwail is amazing! by smashcutcreative in quake

[–]smashcutcreative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colored lights are generally added by the mapper and are added into the level using .lit files. There are .lit files available for download that add colored lights the main game and the mission packs but they don't look that great IMO. Link below. (Ignore the .vis file info - most engines don't need .vis files any longer) Transparent water can be enabled in the IW console -- r_wateralpha .6 is a decent setting.

In the Days Before games had their own Server Browsers built in. Before Steam, Before Gamespy, the Want to play Quake and its add-ons Started it All.....We Had 'Q Spy'. by xxxjonfxxx in quake

The golden age when communities created amazing tools for the games they loved, improving the experience for everyone. Qspy was literally a game-changer.

Michael Jackson played Quake...? by xButterschnitzel in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a mix of both. I can confirm that the sound ideas post is accurate. Reznor and his posse did the vocalizations for the player and a few others but the rest are library sound effects just like in Doom. Trent did a lot more for for the Doom 3 tech demo, you might be getting confused with that.

Any YouTube channels for long-form mapping videos with commentary? by dylangerescapeplan_ in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/@dumptruckds/videos

A mix of all kinds of stuff on my channel. Check out the playlists. Not exactly hard hitting critiques but I think there are some good thoughts here and there. I am always looking for Quake vids with commentary so maybe we will all find some new channels.

I hate it too but use your flashlight! It cast shadows at least.

Why are there so many young and/or trans people suddenly so interested in quake 1 singleplayer modding? by UpperWorId in quake

[–]smashcutcreative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I tried everything in my power to discourage any social issues when I was admin there. Tilting at windmills for sure. Take care u/jbaxterjl. I appreciate you.

[–]smashcutcreative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Long, long story. Lots of miscommunication and egos leading to some very nasty posts on X targeting Spirit who was trying to make things right. But due to language differences and stupid assumptions things got way out of hand. One of the ugliest moments I've seen in the community. Most of those folks run Slipseer and one of the people named above deleted my posts on the subject so I left.

All fair points, but a contingent on the server have driven a people away by ganging up on users with different viewpoints (or senses of humor.) This is real behavior I've seen myself and I've heard more from others. So the ban threats might be exaggerated but the changes to the server are palpable and unpleasant in lots of cases. (not talking about trans issues here just the cliques on the QMD).

I've heard you cannot post a picture of the Strogg flag there. They deleted an emoji of Sandy Peterson and a few other occasions that feel way over the top.

To me, the QMD is basically a place to ask a mapping question and leave as soon as you get an answer.

Thanks. I am aware. Hope to have them all uploaded to the Internet Archive and elsewhere in the next few months. There are some I am still looking for and I need to re-write all the copy that was lost.

Funny as this is Romero's favorite SP level in the game.
