Quake 64 Total Conversion?

[LambentHammerBurst]

Much of those are related to the engine itself too. Like the blue screen glow when using Quad Damage is called by the engine. You could swap the IT_QUAD and IT_INVISIBILITY - what would happen then is they'd still function the same, but when you get Invisibility - your screen would glow blue. It may be possible without engine editing, but I am doubtful thus far.

Colored lighting has been done for Quake.

I edited my last post a bit, my description of the colored sky and music for the levels is accurate now. Including not all the beginning levels have blue sky.

[osjclatchford]

one question, are you wanting a high-res version of q64, to encapsulate the feel/atmosphere of the original or a 100%, lo-res, but faithful version?

I only ask this because if it is the first, we could use the skies from hexen2-high-res (with a few tweaks for green/orange etc...) that many of us already use. I know, from his screens, that seven uses a yellow sky on some levels.
i'm pretty sure there is a red sky already made too.
just food for thought is all...

[OGB]

I want a 100%, low-res, but faithful version of the game. I don't want to use the hexen2-high-res skies, I still want to use the N64 skies. OoPpEe got the blue sky from the rom, I'll ask him to get the other colored skies from it.

[OGB]

OoPpEe, can you get the other colored skies from the rom and put them in this project.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Stated already the skies are handled very differently than in basic Q1. You'd have to create them from scratch and try and make them look similar.

[OGB]

Well I can't create them, if you know anybody that can that would be great.

[osjclatchford]

ok, I guess thats me 'out' then...

[LambentHammerBurst]

Thinking I too am. I provided the CD Tracks, ripped the liquid textures and got the changed Nailgun and Lightning Gun sounds. All of those overall just need to be renamed to have them working in Q1.
May go back and do a "final" version of the soundtrack though. Didn't want to go the .ent route - however to accurately do it, have to.
Something like this needs a team, yes it may be many small edits - but one doing all the grunt work, while another just states things - not the ideal way to get a project done. All parties involved have to take part. If unsure how to do, take initiative to learn. We all at one point didn't have the skills until we tried it.

I couldnt see the point of this to begin with.
Sure finding the soundtrack was cool. Maybe using the sounds as a replacement... but to have a watered down Quake conversion tied to Midway's license seems just silly.

I didn't say I wanted to do a watered down conversion of Quake 64. I don't want to do a watered down conversion.

You're not out, I didn't understand what's the difference between high-res and low-res. Can you tell me what's the difference between the two.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Texture size.
Like Quake is defined as low res. It uses textures that are usually all around 128x128 (16384 pixels) tops.
High Res textures are way beyond that. QRP's replacement textures are mainly 512x512 (262144 pixels).
That's 16x larger.
