Quake Reforged Project

[Nergal]

@reosed
Yep, we know how annoying may be waiting for something and we're eager to release asap.

@LockNLoad
Special requests are welcome if reasonable and yours is fine, even because we mentioned earlier about a secondary pack with skin variations. If I remember well, there's a WIP mod out there, that allows to load multiple skins for a single monster in Quake. I'm not aware of its recent status though.

@kreaper
Thanks! Our tech guide may need some refinements, but we aim to have everything explained before the time of the final release. For example, all dyn light have to be tweaked - now are pretty ugly.

@Baker
Yes sir!
I needed some time 'cause I wanted to refine details and colors (they may need some further adjustements, tell me). Alfader will update the site when he's ready! (it's not a 3d Realms reference, today I think)


UPDATE: img compression kills all the new details

Looking good. The details of the enforcer skin really seem to be a little lost. Im using these packs:

(ID1 folder)
pak2.pak(sounds), dpwater.pk3, Newfire.pk3, romirtlights_id1.pk3, romirtlights_soa.pk3, rygel-dp-texturepack-high.pk3, x_dp_monsters.pk3

(progs folder)
X-enfocer.pk3

Are those OK or am i missing something ? Im playing with high settings (1920x1200x32bppx60hz) Is it he bloom or hdr what kills the details or ?

You can directly place the Enforcer PK3 into the ID1 folder.

Hey guys! No signs of life for a long time from you! Everything works well?

[Nergal]

Everything works well?

No!

My memory controller is dead so I've to change mb. I believe that maintaing the same chipset and updating the driver may save my installation, though I have to see. Long story short: I can't access my data, can't update the site, can't polish the skins. It's very annoying, to say the least.

In any case, thanks for the patience and the support: I strongly believe that we'd have given up long time ago without it!!

[TR2N]

Hi Nergal,

very bad to hear that!! Does it mean, that the project is dead now?


Why don�t you remove your harddisk out of your computer and attach it to another computer (to copy the data from it)?

[kreaper]

F#@%!
but i will tell u that i have alot of patience when it comes to quake reforged... your guys' skins are the best, so the community pretty much needs u guys to keep trucking. just saying dont stop kicking ass

[Nergal]

No no no, it's not dead It's only an unexpected and annoying little (effing) delay.
After the release I'd like to discuss with you all about the future of quake reforged, though something has already been said in an upcoming interview.

[CarVio]

hey hey

Tracked the progress of the project and I am totally amazed - hope you can work soon again on reforged. Are there any news for the community ? Cheers

[Trickle]

yeah guys, don't go bananas over this. patience is key =]

[TR2N]

Come on Nergal, tell us something!

[Nergal]

It may be only an hobby, but we don't like to abuse people's patience, especially if it's not entirely our fault (though we may have kept shared resources).
Still trying to find a quick solution to return at work asap, 'cause there're things I'd really like to show (new Shub, new demon, SoA and DoE skins, etc.)!
For sure we're not going to release a skin (or model) and then disappear, quake fans have already experienced this and I hate it too!

P.S. TR2N are you reading my mind?

[CarVio]

Hey you have definately my abolution to take as much time as you need. I mean good things have to have a while right ? Totally agreed that many very promising Quake projects have been blown to dust (remember Quake10year-project of kedrin). As long you don't say the Project is getting freezed at its actual state and you guys won't work on it anymore because of personal reasons, as long this doesn't happen, we all can be happy. I mean as you say it's a hobby. A hobby should be fun and not scheduled like things in a Job - just remember to give us a cookie to bite in from time to time - cheers from switzerland - CarVio

[Dreadlorde]

... abolution...

Sorry for going off topic, but is this the right word for whatever it is you're trying to say?

Merrimum-Webster gives this definition, which doesn't fit with what you just said.

1 a : the washing of one's body or part of it (as in a religious rite) b plural : the act or action of bathing
2 plural British : a building housing bathing and toilet facilities on a military base

Hey guys- I was wondering- any chance you could release a few beta-skins to pass the time????

Don't worry if there's something wrong with them at the moment- we're here to help!!!

I think it would actually be practical as if there's anything about them that really stick out we could point it out, but anything less would suggest they're already finished.

If this sounds familiar- it's because I'm obnoxiously nagging!

Come on! Seriously let's see em!
