Small Mod compilation

Does the flashlight not work on dp 2016 11 21?

Hello Nickelbawker,
It works in all builds, but you should definitely update yours. A lot of things got fixed/added since then.

excuse me seven, when i installed SMC, all the textures are black except for the enemies and pickups

Hello luisdacherry,
The SMC will not change your textures, because it doesnt contain any. You must be using additional mods/files.

i spawn outside the map when i start a game. do u know how to fix this??

Yes, you are using a [map].ent file which does not belong/match to your [map].bsp. Delete that .ent file or disable .ent support.
The SMC does not contain any .ent files.
Only these SMC addons include .ent files.:
- custom particle/sound effects
- weather effects

You most probably are trying to start a map called start.bsp from a mod or addon episode. Because all the other maps have unique names. You can temporary remove the above mentioned SMC addons and/or your other additional .ent files to see if it fixes your issue.

Then you can follow my detailed instruction how to permanently fix issues like these here even with those .ent files in your Quake directory.

Are the health levels diverse on SMC or are they set to something inconsistent with the built in difficulties? I find Normal and Easy more difficult on SMC but hard and nightmare seem accurate.

The SMC gives you totally freedom to adjust every single player or monster health/damage/property values. But it does not alter them by default, because it would change gameplay.
Do it via the smc_config.cfg file as described in the readme.txt.
Read/browse through it to see what options you have ... there are many.

You can make Quake a walk in the park or a *real* nightmare if you want.

Have fun with your Quake,
Seven

make sure to enable 'realtime dlights' in the lighting settings,
the SMC flashlight needs this setting enabled to work

Fixed it by disabling "use only coronas" which allowed me to enable dlights, thank you.

Does the flashlight not work on dp 2016 11 21? It clicks says on off I have it bound to f but it doesn't light anything up.

Hello Duthc,

the SMC already had all the code that was need for the new feature.
Take the demon/wizard teleporting, mix it with the adjustable size feature, add some cosmetics here and there and the corpses collision correction was born. And this time even without the _z sticking in floor bug in Non-DP engines.

Combining/using different existing features always brings up interesting new ones.

Regards,
Seven

Happy Easter, Seven!

Glad to see you still keeping up on the SMC my friend! Very nice work on the collision detetion for dead bodies.

[talisa]

you can disable all gameplay changes and monsters and such by simply editing the smc_config.cfg,
which can be edited with any basic text-editor like notepad, word or notepad++

there are basic descriptions for what every cvar does inside the smc_config.cfg

Hello Jugin,
And what exactly is keeping you from using the regular SMC then ?
...

Desire to keep for myself the classic gameplay. Without new monsters and visual effects, other than RT-lighting.
I do not know how to disable everything except for bugfixes.

[Seven]

Nice work as always Seven!

Hello gdiddy,
So you are still browsing/lurking the forums about this old game ?
Good to still see you around my friend.

In Quake. I like old low-poly models and low-resolution textures.
I do not need new models, new textures, etc.

Hello Jugin,
And what exactly is keeping you from using the regular SMC then ?
You do not seem to know what the SMC really is. You will not find anything you mentioned if you do not want.
In the end it is your choice of course.



Happy Easter everybody !

Best regards,
Seven

ah my bad.... i was talking about the SMC's features, not about the bugfixes thing

thought you couldnt figure out what the cvar of that feature from SMC is called

[Jugin]

the SMC does actually have multiple options for this, through this cvar in smc_config.cfg

set shootablebuttonsandsecrets 0

"0"= original ID1 behaviour (blood effect)
"1"= they have an own particle effect when shot (not blood anymore)
"2"= they use standard weapon impact particle effect when shot (not blood anymore)

.

what you are asking for can be achieved by setting the setting to 2, which completely removes any special effect when shooting buttons&secrets

In the version of this link (Original Quake 1.06 bugfixes.rar), this option does not work.

Hello Jugin,

Everything you need for original Quake is already in the download above.

Missing item.
"Option to disable the *bleeding* of shootable buttons and secret walls/doors/explo-boxes"

The list you copy/pasted from the opening post mentiones the official mission pack bugs. You do not need them for regular Quake.

I guessed.

If you want the mission pack bugfixes as well, you can download their corresponding SMC packs from first page of this thread. They are all included and the source is always included as well.

I just wanted to get bugfixes. I do not need new models, new textures, etc. But I do not know how to edit the source code.

...
I added a collision check algorithm around the monsters to avoid the described behaviour. It works robust and does not interfere with maps and monster pathfinding because their bbox will stay exactly the same.
It works with all engines and all monsters in all maps.
...

Where can I download it?

Nice work as always Seven!
