Mission Pack 1 and 2 Startup Issues

[grave_digga]

Sure. Normaly it works like darkplaces.exe -game nameofmod

[Roy Batty]

Is it possible to play other mods I have with Dark Places, like Malice?

[gdiddy62]

OoPpEe,
May I ask you to do one for glqrack. I'm trying Bakers command line and I can play, but have missing item textures for some reason. The nail ammo, for instance, just shows as a flat sprite with nails that move around like it was an old game like doom.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Ok I will do it soon

Winquake.exe

[LambentHammerBurst]

What exe do you use to run Quake?

[Gerolf]

I would like that, OoPpEe.

I tried myself with making a shortcut, but it tells me the target is wrong. so, that would be very helpful

[grave_digga]

Hmm, i thought back in the days we allways used -game. My HUD in SoA looks exactly like the one in standard id1. I run it with "darkplaces.exe -hipnotic"

[LambentHammerBurst]

just use -hipnotic and -rogue
Using the -game part doesn't execute the HUDs for them (you'd have the standard id1 HUD in both - resulting in the new ammo icons and weapons to be absent).

I will make a Easy Boot exe for you - the same as my Darkplaces Easy Boot but using winquake.exe instead.

[grave_digga]

Normaly it should work like this:

winquake.exe -game hipnotic

or

winquake.exe -game rogue

I played them both back in the days with winquake.

Questions

Instead of posting a new thread about this, I'll post it on here.

I have both of these add-ons. I want to use them with WinQuake. Is there a way I can get the game to play? I want to make 2 different EXE's. So i'll have 3 in total (one for Original Quake, and the other two for the add-ons)

Is this possible?
How would I do this?

[lethlwipn]

Thanx guys :-) All of your info has been very helpful.

[LambentHammerBurst]

No one uses my Mission Pack easy boots?

Just simply drop these exe's into the same folder as Darkplaces and run them - volia

Hello lethlwipn,

everything grave_digga wrote is correct, except the extension.

Mission Pack´s as well as some other mods must be started without the "game" in the extension.
Otherwise you would not get the new HUD, triggers and fixes.
So it should be:
darkplaces.exe -hipnotic
darkplaces.exe -rogue


Anyway,
Baker created this very detailed Tutorial for Mission packs.
It is a sticky in the Help subform.
But even though it is a sticky, it is still overlooked:

Kind regards,

You have helped me immensley gravedigga....thank you very much. I was able to load both mods under the DP engine.

Your explanation made it very easy for a Quake dummy like me to follow :-)
