Thats cuz lerster is determined to travel the less beaten path, hence "Doing things the hard way"

Another gem from Mindzy.

Maybe half the problems people really have in Quake is because they are dead set on doing something "the hard way".

Then you go to help them and they STILL want to do it in an all clustered up mess.

Like the guy who wanted original glquake to work on his machine when it didn't and wasn't going to MEANWHILE he also didn't want to use a modified engine which would fix the problem in 10 seconds.

Anyways ...

I help everyone but if you are doing strange things no one else has a chance to guess why it won't work for you but does for everyone else.

Thats cuz lerster is determined to travel the less beaten path, hence "Doing things the hard way" , instead of just loading XP by itself and playing quake like every other gamer. Sure,some use linux of some flavor,but they typically dont show up at quakeone.com's doorstep bitching and nagging it doesnt work,and the creators of the Quake engine's need to fix something in order for it to work on his side.

I had no trouble with any Quake client in Vista, let alone XP.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Meh the reason i posted this is i thought i'd be quaking again soon but yeah Vista doesn't run proquake, or any quake client for that matter, XP runs proquake yet with shity graphics, blue graphics.... and thats a vid card thing with XP, so only 2k works well with it but i'm flying away tomorrow so i lied i guess, i am not going to be quaking anytime soon.

Just annoyed that quake is being a bitch.

When it was running on ubuntu it had a weird glitch where while you where playing sometimes it'd just suck you to a wall (backstepping) you for about 3seconds and you couldn't move just run backwards.... then when it stopped doing that you could play and move around normally again (provided nobody killed ya by then)

Anyways, after i updated the kernal for ubuntu i can't get linux quake to work or rebuild properly even.

So sadly, i won't be quaking for awhile.

An yes, i did try some other clients, but i really want gl quake working again.... sadly it won't work.

I'll prob install win2k again but what i hate about that is i have so much crap to install for it, so it takes a long time... since basically nothing but the nic is detected by it.

Anyways, w/e.

It was to be a joke the subject header of this post as the "Chat-o-rama" stated anything but quake... and it was about quake, but didn't quite fit in the quake forum. so whatever.

:p

Take care all... hopefully someday i will get quake running again.

1st step in fixing quake : Stop making things seem so fucking complicated, if you skip this step,you will fail.

hence, 3/4ths

Windows 7 makes Vista look like Windows Millennium Edition!

[metchsteekle]

yeah vista only deserves 3/4ths of the shit it gets

[tical]

same...vista's pretty decent

I can run every Quake on Vista --- and I mean ALL of them: Darkplaces, ProQuake, Qrack, JoeQuake, FitzQuake, etc. etc. --- on Vista with the single exception of some older versions of Qrack like 1.60 which actually had a Vista incompatibility.

Just pointing out that whatever problem you have, the operating system itself isn't the origin.

But I know when things won't run it can be frustrating.

HEY LAZY PROGRAMMERS TELL THE CREATOR OF PROQUAKE TO UPDATE ITS CODE SO IT WORKS FOR ALL VERSIONS OF WINDOWS?

It would be nice if you included the version of Windows and the version of ProQuake you are using.

I think I have an idea of what would be occurring but according to MH, Quake is written in a way that makes it virtually impossible to be "thread-safe" due to the QuakeC intepreter and maybe other things where functions share the same variables.

[=peg=]

...So the bugs of it yanking you into "backstep" never occur... it throws u into "back step" for like 3seconds or so, at a time...

hmm not sure what you mean exactly, but i DO know that setting cl_forwardspeed too high, will actually make you walk backwards

set all cl_whateverdirectionspeed cvars to 400 and you should be fine..

[foq]

?

[R00k]

Ler, you whacko, if you are having problems running ProQuake, have you tried other engines, like fitzquake to make sure its not your 1998 computer? Or atleast explain your problem more in detail


LOL! that video looks exactly like ler to me, even that guitar he's holding :}

[Lerster]

hahaha wow that video was awesome.

SO that's that gaybar song ppl at work referenced before... i had no idea.

I rarely youtube. Haha.

Poor linkin if he could only see what the Omish-imposters did to his name....
