Its a Quake 3 themed game, pretty damn good for an in browser game.

It was a pain to get working for me, if you have an issue setting it up, follow this:

Ya, it has the same kinda feel for me.

Signed up and played a little last night.

Feels "fast", you don't feel any lag. My old Quake instincts came right back into place. I did feel that the netcode was a hair sloppy for "hits"....I felt many times when using the super shotty that hits weren't being registered, or even splash damage with the rocket launcher when aimed at the floor near the opponents feet.

Will have to play some more though...felt good playing Q3 again. We should get a few of us to log in one night. Gotta do a few maps with the rail gun..didn't get a chance to use that last night.

For running in a browser....pretty danged impressive. Crashed Firefox at the end though.

I liked it but I still have love for Quake 1.. the modded versions with the flinging hooks and so on.. CTF was great! I could move around a map in less than a few seconds using that thing even on dial up. I jumped to ISDN and pwned!

Requiem Mod rocked Wesleyan University used to run a great requiem server.

The alt fire on #4 double nail gun made it a flamethrower! The alt fire on #6 the turd launcher sent out the purple spiked homing vote missiles. Alt fir on #7 rocket launcher sent out the ricocheting fireballs to get people around the corner of a wall.

Yeah the grapple hook was awesome...could spider man hook across the top of a map in the blink of an eye and get up high in some dark nook to launch vore balls or lob a few flames at them til they lit on fire and ran around screaming....lol.

I used to have some config files I wrote....where some keys put up some multi-lined graphics on the chat line for taunts. Probably still have them on an old floppy disk somewhere.

No other game has had an impact to me as much as Quake 1. The first true 3-D environment. I'd love to fire it up again and play on some requiem server. It was pretty good even on dial up, I used to ping in the 140's or so to Wesleyan server. Netplex used to run a decent Q1 server I'd play on too (a smaller ISP in my state)

I never read into Quake 1 server hosting.....I got into building gaming servers around the time of Half Life, Quake 3, and Unreal Tournament.

If either of us can find some time to dig up some notes on it, hopefully there's a W32 version...I'm sure there must be, because we were able to host servers on our workstations for other on the LAN or internet to connect to. Wasn't a true dedicated server...but still, I'd think a ded one could be done on W32.

Or, man I'd love to get a good Q3 server going. Just to have a perpetual DM17 Longest Yard server going would be sweet.

Could use the SG Team Speak server...it's a P3 800 with a gig or so of RAM...way more than was needed for Q1 or even Q3.

well I got a box to throw it up on but I'll have to dig in to it one day when i'm not still sick.. just don't have the energy right now.

For windows 7 it disables Aero, but closing FF afterwards fixes it so not a big deal.

Anyone still playing...I see YOSC on a good bit. I have finally discovered an all weapons mod that I like a lot...Clan Arena, no hunting around for weapons and power-ups. I still suck pretty bad with all weapons since I've been doing instagib only since around 2001 or so.

I slowed down a lot since it's summertime...but I'll still pop on a couple of times a week for a few rounds. Once later fall/winter weather gets here I'll be playing more I'm sure.

heh, how i mussed this ill never know. got it installed the other day. aside from some mouse problems at the beginning, its all good now. no grappling hook?!?!? still great, imo. having to re-learn the maps, except for The Longest Yard which is still burned into my retinas.

btw, if your mouse stops working on you....

ctrl+alt+<console key>
/in_mouse -1
/in_restart

now movement should be wonky. then....

/in_mouse 0
/in_restart

/in_mouse 1
/in_restart

Should get a few of us online at the same time, have a little SG frag fest. Faust is your QL nickname Faust? Mine is my usual.

Faust · Post by **Faust** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 2:04 pm

actually im using my tired old game handle, smaier69. ill ad ya

would be pretty cool to get a match going. fri's and sat's are best for me. sundays are hin n miss, as im usually left getting all the things done that i put off all week.

sad thing is i am really really bad these days. pathetic, even. totally out of practice. ill be fixing that, though.

How has everyone done on the skill placement?

Their are 5 tiers, somehow it seems I have ended up in tier 4.

I was reading a post that said if you can see lower ranked servers you are tier 4 or 5, as 1-3 don't allow you to join lower ranked servers.

I know StoneCat just went right through the first and easy door but I think hes up to tier 3-4 now too.

loop2kil · Post by **loop2kil** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 7:18 pm

I placed high but have dropped...my skill set was based solely on instagib experience (which is unranked at quakelive) I have improved a small bit in the last couple weeks but I still get raped by 'good' players. Still getting comfortable with weapon switching and even where to bind them..heck that's half the battle.

Faust · Post by **Faust** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 8:11 pm

i havent even looked into it. my biggest problem is..... well at the moment everything is a problem. im more getting used to the feel, and getting the mouse dialed in. i can't make any rapid mouse movements and wind up looking in a predictable direction.

loop2kil · Post by **loop2kil** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 8:39 pm

can try /cl_mouseaccel 1 ....or any other number that might feel good

I still havent set my binds, I need to look in the forum for a full list of config options.

I did set all enemy models to Keel though.

I never looked...how do you check to see what tier you're in?

I have no idea what I did the first time I logged in...I remember some practice mode against a bot...but I just whatever it took to get past that as fast as I could because all I wanted to do was play online.

You're in my friends list now. I think when you first send/accept an invite..the person will not show up in your friends list until the next time you log in. Or perhaps it just takes a few minutes..depending on server load or something. //shrug.

Anyways, you're in there now.

You have to install a greasemonkey script, its not something ID has made easy to find out.

But if you can see lower and higher ranked servers, you are tier 4, if you can only see higher ranked servers, then you are tier 3.

I can see servers that will popup "Your skill is higher" if I hover the curser over it, what I call "Silver servers". And then green servers..."Skill matched", and then what I call the brown servers..."More Challenging". So guess I'm 4.

Modded servers maybe? I love love loooooved the hook in Quake 1...I spent ooodles of hours playing on a server which ran a mod called "Requiem".

I don't recall seeing it in Q3....if there's a modded server that runs one...lemme know!
