Help me, Holla Forums, I'm trying to replay Quake 1 but its scary :(

If you're gonna turn that shit off anyway there's absolutely no reason to use Darkplaces.

Use QuakeSpasm.

I love Quake 1, especially the soundtrack. Doom64 also had a tremendous ambient soundtrack. Really gets under your skin.

don't use darkplaces, it's the quake engine for people who hate quake.

Play with quakespasm.

especially because of how it fucks with physics.

I always wonder why Doom64 was N64 only.

Nintendo probably helped fund it or the developer was interested in making an exclusive to the platform.

Whatever happened, I'm glad it did, because otherwise the game may have never existed at all.

Especially the game's soundtrack. I wonder why Doom 64 and DOOM PS1's soundtracks were console only, they're incredible.

CD wasn't standard on PC, and the PS1 could obviously push that standard, and the N64 had some sophisticated midi support that is theoretically possible to do on the PC, but practically a nightmare because of non-standard sound hardware.

The many benefits of consoles.

Try playing Blood or System Shock.

That's interesting to know. I thought CDs became the standard around the time of PS1/N64 Doom, or were there still many issues devs were struggling with?

Please

blood is a silly game. System shock 1 and 2 aren't really scary. Thief on the other hand…

They were getting there, and the majority of games absolutely were shipped on CD at that point, but when 60% of your player base has it, but 40% doesn't, it does matter. These percentages are just made up, but I imagine it was a very real concern at the time.

I jumped whenever diego popped up.

To be honest, Blood did manage to be quite creepy at times mainly helped by the CD soundtrack, I think what I read once is that they wanted to make the game both scary and funny, as it originally started as a Lovecraftian shooter.

The last time he pops up is the scariest and you know why.

yup

And I'm glad someone made a PC port of it.

A shame the source code will never get released. This game could really use a source port.

Doesn't Atari own the rights to Blood? I dont know why but they just will not release the source code at all, it's retarded.

You just have to realize that your character is a big badass that can go super fast and fuck shit up.

Stop being a faggot

What the fuck?

Why here, why now?

What is this and is it easy to use? I used to enjoy Quake when I was a lad.

It's a sourceport, really easy to use, only thing you need are the .pak files from Quake, and the music if you want it.

Beacuse

QuakeSpasm is pretty much the best single player Quake sourceport.

what is the best button configuration for quake multiplayer?

...

Because anons these days are to soft

The first Thief game is the only game that has really spooked me hard. I think it has a lot to do with the sound design, all supernatural stuff in the games sounds absolutely terrifying.

...

I thought I left halfchan.

Why must gore be posted here?

Because that's what edgy millennials do.

Get the dick out of your ass and start fragging.

Well I have the GOG release of several Quake games. I'll figure this out.

...

I hope 8ch doesn't get as bad a halfchan. I like it here but if it gets really shitty we'll have no choice but to find a new place.

Well pal, one thread out of 20 ain't half bad, just filter that shit and move on.

Too late, user. Too late.

You're a year late user.

Full house of truth. This summer has been one of the worst I've seen, even compared to ones back on cuckchan.

...

Why do you even need to filter it?

Why does it bother that much?

...

The function is there, why not use it?

But why do you even feel the need to do so?

We're supposed to be stronger than this.

...

Not while I'm eating, pal.

Man up user and face your fears user.

I don't want to see this shit ever. Not while I'm eating, drinking, and especially not while I'm talking about id shooters

Filtered, nice try pal, I can already smell gore by a mile away, so you can't make me look at this crap.

You've labeled them all as offensive, but they're not offensive. They're pretty cringe inducing, in the sense that you wouldn't want any of this shit to happen to you or anyone you care about personally, and maybe it's difficult to look at on some level, but this shit isn't offensive in the same way that it's offensive to see your well-to-do daughter dating a diseased street rat who came straight outta welfare and who has "I slings dope on a street corner" as one of his primary sources of experience on his fucking resume.

Yet another edgy millenial

Discuss Quake.

While Doom 1&2 are still my favorite id games, Quake is still a great game everyone should play.

Oh Yes I can

Why did Romero and a bunch of id devs leave after Quake 1? It was a great game that I dont think any id dev should be ashamed of having on their resume. None of those devs ever were quite the same without each other.

What are some cool Quake singleplayer mods? Do you guys have a chart like the Doom one?

Romero left because of creative differences involving the setting of the game and the relative safety of going back to what they know. He wanted to be challenged, but felt he wasn't getting that with doing another FPS.

He was also apparently a bit of an ass at the time.

If you're going to post gore straight from the ED offended page, at least be less obvious about it.

I don't know if I'd like Quake if it wasn't so extremely blocky.

You should read a book called 'Masters of Doom', you'll find answers there.

just play quake while playing Dio and early Slayer.
works evreytime.

Huh, might be cool.

Thanks mods.

What was it? I saw like, one album art and one demon thing.

I want summer to be over.

Fuck off faggot

...

I was checking out the old Doom soundtracks that were going, I mean the PS1 and 64 those are fucking rad. The PS1 especially, it doesn't necessarily fit but hell that's great.
One question about quake and Quakespasm how can I set it to it selects the music on its own?
I have to turn it on each level and it annoys me.

What? It plays automatically for me.

I may have the command wrong. I have to go music track.002 for music to play if I want that everytime a new level comes about. I believe it's due to the port trying to find the CD of Quake whereas I bought it on Steam and that's how I got the folders I needed, and I downloaded the .ogg files elsehwere.

Pussy.

It's a good newfag/normalfag repellent, like lolicon, wraith porn, etc.
But you're right, I don't want to see some guy who got his hand blown off while I'm fucking eating, but it doesn't phase me as much otherwise, I've seen this shit all the damn time. It's the same with porn, I can't look at that shit while I'm eating something. How can people have a fucking food fetish? It's disgusting.

Oh, I think it's because you have an extra 0 in your filenames.

Try renaming your files to track02, etc

...

...

Oh that might just be it. Thanks I like the soundtrack and it not being there annoyed me.

I downloaded the Quake 1 gane files form vola, but i dont know what to do whit them.

Nah, Escape! and everything after that is for quitting.

Just play while imagining this scary bastard is behind you ready to shoot you for cowardliness.

download a quake port like fitzquake and put those files inside id1 folder

Do you stop like TF2 or keep going like UT taunts?

Because damn if you are stopping to do that shit… daymn…

Something about this post not only makes me somewhat angry, but sad for the human society.

I'll give you something to be scared of *unzips dick*

What's the quake mod/standalone game that is fantasy and has a title like "The adventures in Dungeoneering VI" (The joke is that it's the sixth in a series that only has the one game)

It's fantasy, I believe.

I've been playing it recently for the first time it's fun but fuck me if Doom 1&2 aren't better, there are never enough enemies in Quake and to compensate everything feels too tanky while also feeling like they do too little damage. Ideally I'd like to find a mod to boost damage across the board and increase monster placements.

If you dosable bloom then its fucking gorgeous, you are right about the autistic part tho.

...

I first played Doom using GZDoom when I was 20 already, and I absolutely loved it.
What's the best thing for playing Quakes that way? I only need modern resolution support, maybe a couple of particle effects for flavor, nothing really fancy.

Underrated post.

FTEQW with softwarey render. Make sure to get the bleeding edge builds because stable is like 5 years old. Here you go fam.
fte.triptohell.info/ftedownloads/experimental

thanks m8

Also play in 120 fov. Thank me later.

How is it better than QuakeSpasm?

Shhh…

but late on this statement, but I remember hearing it was because D64 was designed specifically to match the N64s controller. Because DOOM 1 or 2 would be awkward with that controller, they decided to make a controller-specific DOOM.
