Engine features idea thread

some suggestions that can be added after R00k finishes what hes working on with the client now.

- built in NetQuake server browser
- maps that are non-vised go back to solids
- .link file support for textures

Baker: I moved this stuff out of the Qrack thread because it was drifting; if someone feels I made more of a mess somehow, ask ye Yellow No. 5 to readjust.

I'm probably going to work on that one in 2-3 months and then after I'm done, help Rook add it into Qrack.

u can already go to the server list and use <T>est to so who is there

based on the "there is only 20 players playing quake 1" do u need a browser??

[Baker]

I'm thinking either a real one, supported by the server engine, or a "fake" one that downloads and parses a datafile from this site using some of the HTTP stuff in FTEQW.

Considering the speed various servers installed new .exe to stop wallhacking, I'm thinking that a true server browser might be better method since it is more "standard". But I'm not sure yet.

/Haven't played with the Qrack server list feature; need to try that out to see what you mean about what Qrack already does. I heard Yellow mentioning that a while back, but I always just go to this site to see what's happening on the servers

[R00k]

True, i do also just log on this page to see the server list

nuff said quakeone.com owns

your an asshole R00k, what about at least making it so when r_novis 0 is enabled, the water textures and telesplashes don't look like acid tripping? .link files are adequate. we should get a server browser similar to ezquake that reads off of files. it looks better, but your right. theres barely any servers..not even active classic dm servers. just runes and clan arenas. thats all. its quite sad

[Trickle]

I only really use Qrack for single player anyways, I'm just waiting for that stupid damage orange powerupshell thing to be removed in your next version.

[Trickle]

hell maybe I should get into coding
