What I can't understand is why ppl could be bothered cheating. It's usually easily spotted (ie. movin at 80mph round the levs or takin more hits than they should) and when it's not, it's done mainly by ppl who dot around servers in different countries and you're never likely to see them again. Not much point in doin' it for respect then. Hmm, then again, it might be useful for takin out the odd LPB

That's because it doesn't. Don't get me wrong, it was the pinnacle of on-line gaming when it was released, but that was 4 years ago. It's a bit dominated by the Rocket launcher aswell. Not the only weapon by any means, but the best all purpose one. But that doesn't mean ppl have to move on. Some ppl prefer QW, so be it then, but i know I'd play q3a all the time if I could run the damn thing, or any game made since 1997 for that matter.
Hmm, this thread has switched topics since it began 0 -
It appears Asuka was writing his reply while I was writing mine, so no copying accusations plz. He did go a bit overboard though. How can you enjoy a game if you can't see where you're f**king going. I'd gladly sacrifice graphics in any game for top performance.
It appears that I've ended all my posts so far with the sunglasses gif, so why break a trend 0 -

I agree with H-K.
I used to love playing football when i was younger. It is a great game. Playing samba footie with a few lads on a sunday evenin was good craic but ive never enjoyed a win more than a hard fought game in the lashing rain. The glory of winning wasn't diminished by the bad weather or the wet clothes in fact it was heightened because we knew we won it the hard way with guts determination and forcing an exhausted body and mind to focus.
If you like things easy qw is NOT the game for you

Errr yeah, that's right, cos there's so much physical exertion, strain and combatting the elements to be done when playing QuakeWorld (or any other computer game for that matter).
It amazes me how you ninja players don't end up in early graves from all that hard work, stress, guts and determination....
In seriousness though, ID releasing the source code of Quake has been coming a long time (in fact, it was leaked from Dave Taylor's Crack.Dot.Com site a long, long time ago, just before the first Unix ports of the game, but only to a few people who were quick enough to pick it up), since ID do this with all their games eventually.
It's not an attempt to kill the game. Nor do any of you have any right to complain about them doing it - they have done a much greater service to the hobbyist games programmer than they have done a disservice to the fanatical QW player.
(On a down note, I should point out that proxys won't help people who are clever enough to hack the binaries right. As far as I can gather - though I haven't had time to have more than a cursory glance at the source, and it's been years since I last looked at it - all the proxy does is some checksumming and basic checks, which is **** easy to deal with, I fear. There's a really nice and easy way to confuse any proxy into thinking that it's talking to an unmodified binary - I use "easy" in a loose way here! - which while I'm not about to describe it, I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who has thought of it...)
It is quite possible that this source release, being much more widespread than the last leak, will decimate a lot of the QW community. However, instead of whinging, you lot should be cheering, because you now have a chance to do something that Q1 people have always wanted to do....
... Remake Quake1 with better graphics.
Why not? The Q1 engine is perfectly capable, as Half-Life showed up. All it needs is frame interpolation and 24-bit texture support, as well as a few tweaks to the lighting model, and it'll look as good if not better than Quake2. A couple of fiddly things done to the texturing support, to allow for higher resolutions and better GL Blend mode support, and you have Half-Life standard graphics... Without changing ANY of the core gameplay aspects!
Stop whinging about the open source initiative. It will inject new life into Quake - not necessarily to the "old" game, but to the community, and to the myriad of new Quake-based games which we will start to see as freeware on the net. ID deserve to be applauded... They've done the only thing that could rescue ANY of the Quake1/QuakeWorld scene, as opposed to delivering the deathblow some of you seem to believe this is.0 -
