Man it's weird hearing some Quake SFX in obscure places. In this case, that elevator one.

Oh well, at least I feel I can finish it now.

>EntData_Parse: closing brace without data

But I already finished my level

With how long everyone is taking for their maps, I don;t know if people are just lazy or they're putting so much effort into their map that comparatively, its gonna blow my castle map out of the water.

If only...

Uggh...
Just decided to fire up Arcane Dimensions and suddenly quakespasm is giving me an error it never gave me before and I cant find anything about it really:
> "ERROR: SZ_GetSpace: overflow without allowoverflow set"
The startup console can be seen while its loading but then it just plain crashes out.

I played Q2 a lot but there's simply no match, the "tech-demo" meme outclasses the "real game", if we want to speak in /vr/ terms. I could go on describing things that are literally been discussed to death, like the setting, the dark ambient soundtrack, the lovecraftian themes, the overall feeling of hopelessness, the satisfying weapons, the level design etc. but at the end of the day Q1 is simply the right way to go with its consistency. Way more direct: go into a level, shoot things, resolve the maze, rinse and repeat. It may sound repetitive at first glance but actually it's a great formula that always worked, the real chore is actually the Q2 gameplay where you have to navigate into these convoluted space bases along with your unsatisfying pew-pew guns; at least you have an ass-kicking soundtrack, but personally that's not enough for me to come back into it, so i'll always revisit Q1 when i want some real, fast paced action.

Great post, listen to this anon, OP.

>tfw when i suggest to play Strife on /vr/ people say that it sucks or it's too much confusing
>when someone else recommends it they're overwhelmed by (You)s of people that played it and liked it
which is it bois

where's my quake ranger action figure anon?

>>4980157
yeah, i know that feel. it's very rare to find someone who plays the same games as you do, and often even if they do play them they're douchebags. that's not the case with the guy i've registered that video, though. i'm a pizza spaghetti faggot, unluckily. But of course you can add me on the discord; i don't give a damn leaving my current discord ID here if i'm being honest, so here it is: BigSmegma#9088

>>4914124
Nigger I'm not going to add it unless if I know if it's the actual source code for DarkXL or just to some guy's fix.

A pity. Then play Oblivion, mod it to hell and back before realizing it's unoptimized as shit.

>>4598217
I want a monster mod full of dumb shit like this, while still being fun to play.

What are some good places to download quake maps (Preferably single player)? I want to try some maps I saw from The Quake Grave but quaddicted seems to be down. Any other alternatives?

I guess my question is, alot of what ive seen in gzdoom could've been done on like 2003 and previous architecture. However it requires up to date shit to run hardware.

However alot of it can be done without openGL entirely.

Whenever did 3.0 become necessary to do the same shit that was done on quake3...

>>4104524
Well that's pretty damn cool. You should expand it and let us add it to QUMP, or even just let us add it in as a secret or something.
