  • How to disable effects

    Does anybody know how to disable those effects of armor (moving round visual) or quad shining (in the middle of quad damage there is a bright star with lighting), and...shambler's attack (when he charges his shot, a big blue electric sphere appears between his claws). I'm using Seven's SMC v 4.72, but editing autoexec has no effect (there is no line describing this functions).

    you'd have to edit the effectinfo.txt in your ID1 folder, and comment out the blocks that the particle-effects from these items use.

    at line 6025 and up you can find the effect-blocks for the armor. at line 6029 you will find this line:
    effect green_armor // green armor normal effect - upper sparks

    on the line above that line, add /*

    then scroll all the way down to line 10123, and at the line below the last line there of the effect-block there, add */

    doing this will disable the particle-effect of all armors

    .

    for the quad-damage, scroll down to line 5691, and also add /* on that line above the line where the effect-blocks start.
    then scroll down to line 5763 and again add */ on that line below the last effect-block, and the particle-effect on quad will be gone

    .

    .

    about the shambler lightning-sphere effect... there is no option to completely disable it in the SMC

    you could however 'disable' it the hard way by replacing the mdl file from the orb with an empty mdl-file, and uncomment the effect-blocks for the particle-effect that gets added to it.
    they can be found in effectinfo.txt at line 1478, the two blocks of text which have the line 'effect shambler_ball'.
    you'd have to comment them out the same way as the effects for powerups, add /* above the blocks, and */ below the effect-blocks
    .
    are you curious about what all there is out there in terms of HD content for quake?

    everything that is out there for quake and both mission-packs, compiled into one massive thread

      Completely removed pentagram, quad effects, shambler's energy sphere. Now it's much closer to original.
