e1m3, the place by the ogre and the zombies. John Romero didn't even notice it, but reminded me that everything in quake is based on geometry. it reminds me of those funny maps with blocks of water you can hide in.

I also have dual monitors, and if I want to use both while playing, I'll use a -window'ed mode.. I do plan on adding multi-monitor support sometimes I preferplaying a quick game on my lcd other times I want to use my CRT, but it would be easier just to select a monitor in the vid options...

I think the gammafix.exe should work for the time being...

Here's the crazy thing:

My onboard ATI card is my primary on my dual monitor setup. My secondary is a Voodoo 3 2k. Qrack is displayed on the ATI, but when I exit, it's the brightness on the other monitor -- hooked to the Voodoo 3 -- that's screwed up. The ATI is fine.

I run Qrack in fullscreen mode, too.

EDIT: I played around with it a bit. When I change gamma or gl_contrast in Qrack, it changes the color/brightness settings on my other card/monitor. I guess my workaround will be to use whatever settings work for my desktop -- in Qrack.

EDIT 2: Actually, my 2nd screen still goes darker when I exit Qrack, even if it looks fine while Qrack is running.

yeah R00k, in the next version. can you make it so that fog settings save and make it so the sky is all fog? cause it looks silly when its still visible

[PapaSmurf]

r00k, teamscores in Qrack still show up as "255" when a team has a negative score.

[Trickle]

Qrack has been silent for the past almost month

R00k is probably going to ambush us with a great release =]

CMON YOU CANT KEEP ADDING FROSTING ONTOP A BAKED CAKE,
at somepoint you just gotta eat and enjoy..... but im working slowly but surely

[Trickle]

hey R00k, do you have all old Qrack builds? it would be neat if you signed yourself up on SourceForge and have all the builds date. I really wish I still had the previous beta build, just because it doesn't have the pain power up shells. seriously, this is THE Quake engine. whether its classic NetQuake action or awesome singleplayer experience. this has true innovation with stuff like idle v weapon movement and assigning 24-bit player skins. I mean, footsteps, awesome decals, amazing skyscroll(which we hope displays flawlessly soon), assigning skyboxes to individual maps(I laugh at how certain singleplayer mission packs still say "to play with the skyboxes, use JoeQuake and type loadsky!"), and it still has the performance unlike other engines that seem to only focus on intense shadowing and lighting. I am not just saying this for a sooner new build either

ya keep backups.







back up...

[gulliver-trans]

I have Qrack 160, 180, 183, and 184 zips. I have no idea which is what. Dunno which of them (if any) are betas, either.
