VWep and Crouching

[TheMachine]

check out the DME mod at http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/qdq/tools/

I think this needs to be added to every mod out there!

My best advice to check it out is to open two copies of quake in windowed mode (add -window to the command line of qrack, and hit escape to go to the menu and get a mouse pointer), and make a local multiplayer game one one, and connect to it with the other.

It's awesome!

I'll have to check those out.

Are you the same TheMachine as from TLTQ.com?

[TheMachine]

tltq? cant say i know what that is, and its down now. I have, however, been a tiny member of the quake community for a LONG time. I had a quake editing site called "CRACKED" a long time ago.

[Baker]

TLTQ, aka The Last True Quakers, had people like Z0r, Sabotage, Chaz, JL, Ben, Diazoild, Chuck and was mostly centered around the Widomaker and Singed servers.

I thought I recognized your name from the "Average Joe Tournament" that Z0r ran in 2004.

I might be right or might be wrong, heheh.

[TheMachine]

nah, i've been out of the community for a long time... life does that to you. It's not the most unique name.

Anyways, download that mod and check it out, its really simple, and REALLY well done. The only flaw ive found is when shooting at very high upward angles, but its a small price to pay.

Like i said, 2 copies of quake, one server (not dedicated!) one client, so that you can look at the other while switching weapons and shooting in the other.

I want to see the crouching. I didn't know any Quake mod had that capability.

[TheMachine]

That's part of why its so great, the vwep works perfectly with the crouching as well, and its a convincing crouch, even while moving. More so than quake 2 i would say.

Crouching has no place in Quake 1!.

I just tried it out. Very cool. I wasn't around in the oldest days so this is new to me. I didn't know there was such a model out there.

Maybe this should eventually get added into to one of the multiplayer mods just for fun. Would add a cool touch.

You could push a crate and crouch down behind it.

Oh wait! There aren't crates in Quake and you wouldn't be able to push them if there were. (Although you can push stuff around in Nehahra).

[Phenom]

I just tryed it also, didn't work

[Mindf!3ldzX]

you can push players,so it wouldnt be impossible,i wouldnt think anyway,i dont know shit about quake physics on a coding level,but crates could be given the same rules that player entities use.

it would be nice if this VWep addon could be incorporated into an "easier" downloading system here @ quakeone with instructions accompanying im too lazy to bother with it right now.

[TheMachine]

It's a very simple download..... download the DME zip off that page, put the pak file inside a DME file in the quake directory and run a game with "-game DME" on the command line. It's just like any other mod.

The whole bit about using two quake windows is because you can't see anything with just one person, except you can get a feel for how crouching works. The real cool thing is what you see on OTHER people. But i assume you know that already...

Also note, it only works on a server running the mod, and there aren't any on the internet I know of.
