QRACK v1.80

[R00k]

depends r_novis1 might be forced to 0 or the server doesnt have vised maps

[R00k]

Cool stuff r00k. I was actually asking about using a custom texture for my trails like I do in ezquake, an external file.

And I was asking about blood as an explosion type. Selective reading?

Blood explosions?... why?

Ya i wasnt sure if u meant ezQ's textures or your own... Nothing like the ability to add "hello Kity" icons to smoke trails... j/k maybe next release.. or edit the particle font

I thought if you added -no24bitwad to a mod that you can still have 24-bit wads or menus in that specific folder. because for fvf, I want to still have the qrack menu, but still the spinning fvf logo and it won't load the 24-bit one =O/

[Trickle]

since fvf should always be a separate shortcut. there should also should be a choice to have a servers.lst in a specific mod folder that goes over the original one and have only those mod servers. sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass today =O)

I was just kinda excited about the -no24bitwad, because I totally thought it meant you can still have 24-bit wad stuff in that mod folder that'll still work.

[R00k]

:/ ya -no24bitwad disables the hi-color textures for menus/conback/ and hud so that old mods can use their original textures (ie malice).

[Trickle]

make it so it only doesn't use menus and all that stuff from the qrack folder.

i havent read the entire thread but i do plan to when i have the time, i specifically want to know the improvements over previous version which i played, i believe they are in this thread.

concering qrack, i made these posts in another thread. please note i made these comments on my oppinion of an older version of qrack, if some of these issues were fixed, i do apologize in advance.
===============================================
qrack has delayed movement + shooting, i press the buttons and i dont get instant response or rockets not coming out fast enough, i felt it when i played it, thats why i dropped it fast. and it's not my comp, i have a high end system, its the engine. it doesn't happen with the others, as a comparison. thats my only beef with it. features are great, eveything is great, but if the gameplay has this major flaw, it is unusable for competition gaming, something that handicaps me it is not acceptable.

if whoever coded this engine fixes this, so the response time is on par with glpro (or faster and include some qw code in there for high pings (so i can play overseas), i will deff. switch to it permanently, but until then no. and by the way, graphically i love it. but if i were to choose graphics over gameplay, i choose gameplay. fix this, and it would be great, as it would have both.

also why when i die, u respawn so slowly, i press space bar multiple times and it seems it takes me an extra second or two, to get back into the game, why? and yes death motion blur was turned off, i must see where the enemy is after i die and where they are going so that when i respawn i can go after them.

thanks for listening, this was my input.

i believe its the way it handles ping, i played it the other day with about 150 ping (on some european servers) which felt like 80 on netquake. plus it felt more responsive and fluid.

after spending 3 hours configuring it, i was very dissapointed i couldnt play rq on it neither could i connect to any ca server. i was getting on shmack but on a diff port, i didnt realize that until later, as i was wondering why it was empty all the time.

rook will u adress these issues? PLEAASE??? i want the qrack graphics with the responsiveness of glpro and ping handling of qw

thanks.

Paradi$e, so this problem is online only? Do you get the response issues offline, when you are by yourself? I personally haven't noticed any lag in the response time, and I'm very picky about such things (I don't play certain games if there is any mouselag). Do you have Vsync enabled? Try disabling it to see if that helps. Also, try adding the following commandline parameters when running Qrack: -dinput -m_smooth
This might make the mouse response time a bit more smooth... Make sure you upgrade to the latest version. None of us here can properly evaluate your problem unless you do.

less offline, more online.

i will re-install the latest version, which do u recommend? and i will start everything from scratch, if i dont feel it again then its not worth talking about it. lol.

i liked the engine and the graphics but that turned me off big time. everything seemed delayed, mouse input, keyboard input, sound, seems as if it was preventing me from playing the fastest i could lol, compared to glpro.

i will reinstall and then report back. thanks for ur help.
there seem to be a lot of parameters within this whole thread, i mean people had issues with this and with that, i hope i dont have to manually edit the config to fix all these things, im hoping they can be changed in the menus.

also what texture packs to u recommend and where do i place them, i did this a very long time ago for the older version of qrack which i was complaining about, but i dont recall how to do it again at the moment.

thanks. and i'll get back to u.

Download the latest version, 1.84, right here:
http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/index.php?page=downloads

The latest version has many commands in the video and graphics menus. Just tweak those options until Qrack looks the way you want it. Also, I would recommend setting cl_loadmapcfg to "0" in the console. It's a great option if you want each map to have it's own config, but it has a tendency to make your settings not save while you are in the game. Rook has stated that he will have it turned off by default in the next version. Until then, just open the console, and type "cl_loadmapcfg 0". Otherwise, we might see you in here complaining about how your settings won't save.

As for textures, I would recommend visiting the Quake Retexturing project and download their texture pack:
http://facelift.quakedev.com/retexture/

You can also check out the other goodies Rook has on his downloads page (on the same page in the link above, below the Qrack1.84 download). Let me know if you have any other problems with Qrack. I can probably figure them out for you.
