Can't somebody please send me a modified progs.dat with that lavanail feature that was done by Marsha? I have nothing to compile qc listings.
My email is [email protected]
Thank you very much, guys!
I must say that I am sorry to write about something, that is still in development and should not be 'blab´ed out' (if that is the correct translation).
As I wrote, I have just a small supporting role in it; but I am an impatient person who wants it to be released better today than tomorrow. Because I absolutely love it.
Please be more patient than I am.
And no, it is not about RetroBlazer or Remake Quake.

Regarding the compiling issue (mentioned above):
It seems to be the case, that Spike´s wonderful compiler works only on 32bit OS.
My old XP is working fine with it, but DaniOcampo1992 already reported in Nahuels thread here that it seems to have issues on Win7 64bit.
So I uploaded a compiled progs.dat for all having issues in compiling. DOWNLOAD

gdiddy, I am sorry that Marshas change cannot be used for your request.
It was just a very simple exchange of "TE_SPIKE" to "TE_LAVASPIKE".
"TE_LAVASPIKE" is using the "TE_KNIGHTSPIKE" effectinfo values (unchanged !),
that is why the amount of smoke and stuff is of course too much. Feel free to adjust them to your personal liking.
Please read the mail about it for more details.
No problem Seven, thank you for taking the time to check on it!!
I'm using XP Pro right now. but have just purchased windows 7 64 bit. Is there a compiler that someone knows of that is as good as Spike's that works with 64 bit?
If not I'm keeping my XP os on a hard drive to dual-boot.
I am using W7 64bit and fteqcc works just fine here.

Ok, I think this question is solved now
Any other answer would have suprised me, because knowing Spike and his great tools/things is already self-explaining...
Now on to the next chapter:
Which monster in Quake is the one that is used the most in maps on average ?
Yes, it is the little fellow: grunt
So I thought about how to make him look a little *better*.
And as clear as water, it was a new effect that popped into my mind.
I thought it would be just as easy as the "first-person-view" effect, but it was more difficult.
In the end, all went good (and that is what counts).

Looks great. Hope it is a option to enable/disable as it could cause issues if one uses a different model than yours. Could you make a video using my Grunt to see where it muzzleflash comes from? If doesn't come out right - you maybe could try and make cvar variables which allows proper placement on some of the models.
Ex)
0 - off
1 - default id1 model
2 - one you're using (if it isn't a reskin)
3 - mine/moo's
if you look into "small mod compilation"´s readme you will know me
Yes sure, it will be adjustable.
Default is "1" because it does not change gameplay which is the important factor.
Can be set to "0" to disable it.
There are only 2 models available for the grunt.
"1" will be for the ID1 model = default
"2" will be Moo´s model (animated and modified by you)
And OoPpEe, if it would not be adjustable via cvar (on/off), you would always be able to disable it via effectinfo.txt.
As you know, just delete the related effect entries.
That is unfortunately something that many people fear to do.
Instead of experimenting a little with it (which I can only encourage people to do)...
With the help of DPwiki and its detailed instructions of every feature, many more people can play with such things. Unfortunately only a few use it and release theirs.
The feedback and interest is also very low as you can see, so on the other hand it is no suprise why people dont release theirs.
I like these flashes too. It is true that this mod contains so many so different things that for many reasons everything that is not obvious bugfix should be switchable off.
That reminded me of something: zombie_qc.zip please add this to SMC for me. I am probably autistic if that bothered me

0 = not shootable - original Quake behavior
1 = shootable, gibbable only in the way other zombies are
2 = gibbable with any weapon like in SMC3.61 == default

A new idea overcame me last night (during a Quake nightmare):
Why are we bound to use only 1 replacement content at the same time ?
I mean, now that we have so many replacement content, it is sometimes hard to decide which one to take.
But there is a way out...
, ,
It doesnt change the gameplay, but enlarges/boosts the variety.
And makes it somehow more interesting to play through Quake in my opinion.
Each monster or item or powerup will keep the original properties/behaviour,
only the visual differs.
A horde of zombies or a horde of grunts will be varied.
If you are crazy you could even use different ammo boxes for the same type.
Of course it is an unspectacular and easy QC-change, but it has a nice affect
@ Smith
hmm, do you really want to have one more auto_cvar because of this small change ? Arent we have enough already ?
I think that is a feature, that noone will switch to "0", simply because its fun.
We wil see...
