Darkplaces Mission packs 1 and 2 wont play.

[UNR3AL S0LDI3R]

hay i am in need of some help i have quake on steam and i installed darkplaces into the steam directory like the steam guide tells me. quake 1 starts and plays normally but when i launch any of the mission packs, the demo for each pack starts up as normal but when i go to new game and start a new game, it does not load and the console pops up and the game wont play. so what do i do?

[nahuel]

copy and paste darkplaces.exe twice
rename both copies to : rogue.exe hipnotic.exe

really? hunh... I neva knew.

[talisa]

that works? to just simply rename darkplaces executable??


huh, thats one thing i never knew about either myself

[nahuel]

oh yeah, just check this lines for darkplaces source

to add a mod o standalone just need to add some lines to common.h and common.c
I think will be nice to add SMC to the official darkplaces source

What mods do you think will be great to add to use this feature?

If we can get a descent list we can ask autorizathion to lordhavoc and add the support for the mods to github



the names that you need are

{game basegame prog_name cmdline gamename gamenetworkfilername basegame modgame  screenshot userdir					   // commandline option

[nahuel]

nope still did not work.

really strange, the mods plays the demos aniway?

[UNR3AL S0LDI3R]

yea they play their respected demos and when i go to start a new game it just does not start. gonna try a fresh install of darkplaces cus i have over 4gb of hd mods and other files that might be part of the problem.

Yeah, mods can fuck things up. Alternatively, if you don't care about Steam achievements and such, you can just install DP on its own and drop the id1, rogue and hipnotic .pak files in their respective subfolders inside your DP folder.

Another idea is when you're put into the console, type this:

map start
