all the "Quake Compilations" do give you and quake one some exposure. i saw a youtube video playing "HD Quake" and after a few clicks i found the people making it and found a new respect of how hard it can be to make a game. its good to see after all this time you can still find something to change in the game and make it better. just when i thought you did it all you find something new.

Dynamic crosshairs is also another option, but to me they are only useful if weapons have spread. This raises the question, do any of the weapons have spread? It seems they don't, unless the shotguns do. Adding spread I don't think fits in Quake myself if it's not already there.
I made some basic crosshairs but I need to work on them some more to get them how I want them to look.

i like the idea of combining crosshair health indication colors with custom crosshairs for each weapon.
i have another idea for crosshairs.... what about....
a dynamic crosshair, which scales up/down depending on the distance between you and what you are aiming at?
just like you have in serious sam, that the crosshair gets smaller if whatever aimed at is further away and gets bigger when what is aimed at is very close

Hello,
Now that we have crosshairs that interact with monsters / players health, weapon range and each weapon slot. The logical next step is to make them animate somehow.
There are many possible animation variations for crosshairs that some can think of ...
You can now set any animation you want in smc:
- rotating crosshairs
- pulsating crosshairs
- "burning" crosshairs
- ...
Choose any condition to have animated crosshairs:
- when picking up powerups
- when diving into water
- combined with health status
- ...
A quick example could look like this:

Hello JDStoner,
Yes, after 1 year since my last update, there is a new version available: v5.30.
Version v5.30 is one of the biggest updates and has a lot of new features in the trunk:
- 5 new monsters (we now doubled the Quake monster types, yay)
- additional gore features
- new HUD layouts / features / textures
- new monster AI / abilities
- many new gameplay features
- lots of new particle effects
- many small bugfixes
Take your time and take a look into the new v5.30 download and the contents of the included extra folders.
Study the change history .txt file for all details if you want.
And most important: Have some fun with it.
Kind Regards,
Seven
PS: Its interesting to see that all of those available "Quake Compilations" and mods are using the smc.
But only very few users know that they are actually playing the smc mod. Weird…
On the other side it is good to see that I seem to have done everything right.

That's really cool Seven! I didn't expect you to just whip it up so fast. I'll make some more crosshairs and see what I can come up with, I already made some in the past. I have some new ideas for this.
Time for me to dig in Inside3D a bit and learn to tweak QC. Thanks for pointing me out the variables.
On another note, I am rebuilding my Quake install from scratch. This fixed the dog problem for now, hopefully when I add some retextures it won't break it again.

What do you think of different crosshair's for different weapons?
I think every new idea is good, as long as it is a feature that can be enabled/disabled via cvar.
Was tinkering some codelines together. Please watch the below clip. Is this what you asked for ?
Crosshairs are just placeholders of course to show how it works. Add any crosshairs you like...

Find them inside update_weapon_range_crosshair (), update_player_health_crosshair (), update_monster_health_crosshair ().
They are hard-coded rgb values.
I added 5 different colors to get a quite even flow from full health to lowest health:
- green (0/1/0)
- green-yellow (0.7/1.1/0)
- yellowish (1.1/0.93/0)
- orange-brown (1/0.55/0)
- red (1/0/0)
Have fun,
Seven

Hello Roy Batty,
Yes sure, just read the included readme.txt in the smc.
I wrote a detailed tutorial and linked it in point 7.) of the readme.txt.
Some screenshots of the tutorial may have been deleted since my screenshot provider changed its rules/regulations. If so, please report back and I will try to reupload them.
Have fun with Quake.
Seven

Hello Seven my friend, thank you so much for SMC.
I have a question, do you know a tutorial for adding the new quad shader visuals to weapons? I would like to add them to plague's weapons which OoPpEe fixed the muzzle fire. I don't want to derail your thread with generic modeling questions.
I really love all the new things you've done they are amazing and really breathe some life back into our old friend.
I am much more experienced with modding now (I mod other games quite a lot) so I hope to contribute some small things again to this community.
Happy New Year.

Downloaded latest versions and will give them a shot soon.
Good to see you still loving this game.
Be sure to read the readme before updating your older version of it.
Some small but important changes have been made.
The smc_config.cfg describes all features and you can edit all of them to your personal liking.
Originally posted by Legend View PostI think I posted something about this before a while ago but can't remember.
anyways, any idea why the spiders come out colored oddly?
I wanted to bring them all into the game to make it more varied.
In smc versions <5.20 the spiders used skin was hardcoded/fixed to the monster it replaces.
Since smc version 5.20 you have a new cvar to set the spiders skin:
spider_random_skin_selection
As always, if you do not fully understand something within the mod, please read the readme and the smc_config.cfg. You will find a description to all features besides the corresponding cvars for your convenience.
Have fun,
Seven
PS: I always also include a change history file to make it easy to find new features, changes or any other worth mention changes of the mod.
