Small Mod compilation

[webangel]

Hi Seven,
just tried your latest smc. I have to say I love it.
the film-effects looks great and the wetsuit is outstanding.

Really nice

Hello

hi there, thanks for making this mod... due to the darkplaces engine plasma gun bug, i recently found a modded source code for rogue based on your nail fix and plasma gun fix. i modded it in 2 days to add customized values through autoexec.cfg cvars. and i had a blast.

today i discover that:

1) there is an updated darkplaces version (i was using 2014 build, it goes up to 2018 !)
2) you made a more recent than 2010 modded source, and it can be configured with a separate cfg file.

a new world opens to me

(btw thanks for leaving a "dumb proof" easy to compile with included compiler and gui in your 2010 release, without it i couldn't had learnt how to set new cvars and edit qc.)

[HDMaster]

In my case, the world effect is in WORLD-ID1_WEATHER_EFFECTS-XOLVE.PK3

I just need to extract start.ent and edit start_effectinfo.txt and problem is solved, but if is in the pk3, nothing work also if is edited (sorry for my english)

I dont have added "Starter Kit - multiskin+multimodel ID1 Monsters Seven V5.50.pk3" to my mod, but every monsters (by mod) work, maybe i need this also?

Sometime i need to delete the JPG texture from QRP, and clone molde1.mdl to model.mdl for it work correctly also...

Yes i know, it a strange way to work with mod, but i do what i can

Thank you for your time!

Hello HDMaster,

Once you start mixing different mods, the fun begins
Especially when you are not 100% sure what you are doing it gets tricky...
That is why you seem to have issues.

The SMC includes for that reason preconfigured additional eyecandy optionally:
- Multiskin/Multimodel Starter Kit
- Custom particle+sound effects
- Custom HUD and textures
- Weather effects (rain, snow, fog, etc.)

You ask, how can you disable the custom particle effects.
Well, the answer is: It is not included / disabled by default.
So you decided at one point to enable them.
Just undo that step and you will be fine.

Tip:
Quickest way:
Its this cvar:
set cl_particles_custom_effects 0
Or simply delete the start.ent file in your maps folder.
That file holds all the effetcs.

Be aware that the above mentioned cvar will not work with old SMC builds.
Please do not mix SMC builds as you described in the other thread (with Tabuns model).
The progs.dat is the heart and essence of the mod.



Regarding the different enforcer types:
It works out of the box with ONLY SMC.
See this section of smc_config.cfg to adjust it to your liking:
/////// New Monster types

Most probably due to your own experiments with replacement multimodel/multiskin monsters,
it might got broken.

Tip: The different enforcers use different models in the SMC.
Everythig is already packed into the single: Quake_V5.50_small-mod-compilation_Seven.pk3 file.



And a special hint:
Do NOT use autoexec.cfg to adjust your cvars.
Its written inside the readme.txt
You must use the smc_config.cfg file for that.
Otherwise it will override your autoexec.cfg, as the smc_config.cfg is the last config file loaded during startup.
I also wrote it especially inside the config file.


The SMC is, simply put, only 1 single file:
Quake_V5.50_small-mod-compilation_Seven.pk3
Most things are included and already set inside of it.
You can adjust all things via smc_config.cfg beside that file.

If you need more features/eye-candy, you can use the multimodel/multiskin Starter Kit and progress from there if you want.
Or you can use the custom particles + sound effect addon optionally.
And also be sure to check out the custom HUD for the SMC (highly recommended)

All extra features have their own subfolder with detailed readme.txts
Just start slowly... and do not enable everything at one time.
And do not mix it with other mods to avoid issues, unless you are 100% sure what you are doing.

Have fun playing around with the SMC

Best wishes,
Seven

Hi Seven, sorry for sak that (this effects is pretty cool), but how i can disable/downgrade effect on start map with SMC 5.50 (logo on the floor, smoke ect), is very laggy on my dual core... :-(

EDIT: I have made a start_effect_info / Solved

But Hey! Thank for your great work!

[HDMaster]

EDIT: Problem solved (animation) with "set enforcer_run_and_shoot 0"

But i dont know why, EVERYTIME the new "colorized" enforcer (defender, pyro and eliminator) not work, any cue why?

Hello HDMaster,

As good as all features of the SMC can be enabled/disabled via cvars.
If you read the readme.txt you will see how to set them.

In you example (I do not know why you would use a very outdated ID1 version v4.55. But hey, you might have your reasons...) you need to set this cvar:
set welcome 0

Have fun,
Seven


PS: The source is ALWAYS included in my releases. If you need them.
If your download doesnt include the source, you downloaded that old build from somewhere else. Not from this thread.

[HDMaster]

Hi, how i can disable "Wellcome in SMC Message" at the start I use 4.55 for ID1 and 5.02 for MP1 and MP2... Thank's!

EDIT: I have read i need the source but dont have any one, someone can made that for this version for me please?

Hello Seven!
You're exactly right. I was not aware of this nuance. With your fix the build you recommended works fine.
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards

[Seven]

Hello Rivarez,

I am sorry, but you are not correct.
The issue you see on your screenshot is related to a shader modification.
In your case it is most probably Webangels Reflecting overload mod as far as I can see on the tiny screenshot.
There is already a fix for this mod. You can read about it here if you want.
DOWNLOAD

I highly recommend the DarkPlaces build that I linked and that you quoted.

You can see that this DP build doesnt have issues with any textures or with the Reflecting overload mod in this screenshot:



Tip:
If you encounter any issues in the future, first remove all mods from your Quake setup.
If the issue still persists, it may be due to the engine.
If not, it is related to mods.

Have fun with your Quake.

Best wishes,
Seven

I recommend using this build.

This build as well as all the builds after 2016-09-10 have a problems with textures displaying.

Hey, I've been trying out the 3rd_person_visible_weapons setting and the model looks great, but it's missing the hammer for MP1 (Scourge of Armagon).

Hello Frost R17,

Its been a while since I saw you.
Great that your passion for Quake is strong and you came back to enjoy it.

Since its been a while, just make sure to update some of your content as well as your DarkPlaces build. I recommend using this build.

Regarding your question:
Yes, there are so many settings that also I have to search all the time, hehe. But fortunately you can use the search function in notepad to find things quickly.
This is the part that you are looking for (its almost at the end of the smc_config.cfg):

///// Wizards projectiles and slime pools can poison the player
set wizard_projectiles_and_slime_poison_time 15 // 0= disable this feature completely Set the maximum poison suffering time for the player in seconds. Note: When picking up medikits or jump into water, the poison will be cured at once !
set wizard_projectiles_poison_chance 30 // Set the probability of getting poisoned by wizards projectiles in percent. 10= 10% chance to get poisoned 50= 50% chance to get poisoned 100= Every wizards projectile will poison the player
set wizard_projectiles_and_slime_poison_frequence 3 // Set the frequence in seconds between poison pains.
set wizard_projectiles_and_slime_poison_damage 1 // Set the amount of poison damage per frequence.
set wizard_projectiles_and_slime_poison_flicker 1 // 0= disabled 1= poison inflicts a frequent flicker, tinting the complete screen green.


///// Afrits, Carniveans, Hellknights, Reivers, Torments, Warlords projectiles and lava pools can ignite/inflame the player
set fire_projectiles_and_lava_inflame_time 12 // 0= disable this feature completely Set the maximum burning/suffering time for the player in seconds. Note: When picking up medikits or jump into water, the burning will be cured at once !

set hellknight_projectiles_inflame_chance 25 // Set the chance of getting inflamed by Hellknights projectiles in percent. 10= 10% chance to get inflamed 50= 50% chance to get inflamed 100= Every hellknights projectile will inflame the player
set reiver_fireball_inflame_chance 30 // Set the chance of getting inflamed by Reivers fireballs in percent. 10= 10% chance to get inflamed 50= 50% chance to get inflamed 100= Every Reivers fireball will inflame the player
set torment_projectiles_inflame_chance 25 // Set the chance of getting inflamed by torments projectiles in percent. 10= 10% chance to get inflamed 50= 50% chance to get inflamed 100= Every torments projectile will inflame the player
set warlord_projectiles_inflame_chance 25 // Set the chance of getting inflamed by Warlords projectiles in percent. 10= 10% chance to get inflamed 50= 50% chance to get inflamed 100= Every Warlords projectile will inflame the player
set fire_projectiles_and_lava_inflame_frequence 2 // Set the frequence in seconds between inflame/burning pains.
set fire_projectiles_and_lava_inflame_damage 1 // Set the amount of burning damage per frequence.
set fire_projectiles_and_lava_inflame_flicker 1 // 0= disabled 1= burning inflicts a frequent flicker, tinting the complete screen red.
set fire_projectiles_and_lava_inflame_particles 1 // 0= do not use fire particles around player when inflamed 1= use fire particles around player when inflamed

You can set it to your personal likings.
Be aware that you can even set the damage value to "0" and keep the nice visual effect if you like.

Have fun with Quake (again)

Best wishes,
Seven

I see, thanks for pointing that out. I'll try out the build as well when I get the chance.

And yes I still keep in touch with Quake. I've been playing around with the settings and understand here and there. All the extra stuff sure does let people play Quake how they like. But I have made separate versions where one contains SMC mods and the other doesn't where it's vanilla but with mods that contain fixes; who says you can't have both? But one problem I have is this fish count bug for the vanilla version but I'll try to figure it out someday.

Best wishes to you to.

I'm trying to find the config setting for poison chance (or something like that) whenever you enter in toxic slime you take damage overtime when you get out. Also, is there one for lava?
