Am I too oldskool?

[Amon26]

So the past few days I've realised that the whole multiplayer Quake community has left me in the dust.

I won't claim to be of Thresh or Gohan-like status, but I can hold my own in a game of UT2003/4 or HL2 Deathmatch. I'm, competent.

But the past couple days I've felt like the quad-amputee dog thrown into a room full of carnivourous chimpanzees, tweaked out on angel-dust: Horrified, confused, yet slightly arroused...

My Quake DM "bread and butter" was the original, out-of-the box DM, with no runes or grappling hooks or voting systems. I DM'ed before I even had the internet by direct-calling my friend's computer.

Oldskool maybe, but my tradition has become a liability :-) I guess all I'm saying is "ohmigawd! I am like.. so outa shape!"

So if you ever find me just standing there, gazing at a medkit, or grappling-hooking down into a pool of lava, don't pity me. Be merciless and force me to adapt!

P.S: Anyone do Co-Op anymore?

i'm so DOSquake bred, I actually attempted to make a QIP-Quake-based engine that restores Quake v1.01's tiddybits like brown-tint menu background (instead of the awful "black mesh") and 360x wide "tweaked" modes done by simple pixel stretching.

It didn't get far

You can train with me if you want.

There is a co-op like server, but its not just old skool co-op. The monsters are way more advanced, and there are different classes to pick from. Its called Future Vs. Fantasy Quake. The address is fvf.servequake.com

Not really, just a lot of incremental changes that make the game more fun.

They have coop going on at fvf.servequake.com sometimes and full-time at coop.runequake.com:26003

While I don't yearn for DOSQuake days, I refused to switch away from DOSQuake until 2002. It actually took ProQuake cheat-free for me to download and use another client. Once I tried GL, I never went back to DOSQuake.

I played around once with the ToChris software engine someone pointed out at QuakeTerminus just to see what improvements could be added to the software renderer.

I used to use q95.bat, until I found out that there were cheat-free servers. Then I switched to WINPROQUAKE and used that until about a month from now. I switched to GL so I could turn off some of the annoying things you can't turn off in Win.

nice of you to mention my server

[QuadRaptor]

I'm on FVF all the time.

[Bank]

I'm actually not a huge deathmatch player, and play little to no Quake multiplayer, although I am a big time Doomer (or was).

[CheapAlert]

I still have two zip files of old FVF 2.x versions

[Monster]

I will play any kind of quake mod... Doesn't matter to me.
