For anyone who wants nearly (true silence) while quaking here's my lazy workaround to a silent quaking experience.
modify default.cfg and change the following that file is located in (pak0.pak) i believe, maybe pak1.pak, not sure, i just use one pak. (pak0.pak) which has ra maps, 3wave maps, ca map, and old custom dm maps from back when i used to lan quake, as i was too lazy to figure out how to setup a 3wave server back then for lan play... however. That's off topic.
Here is what you change:
bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind "~" "toggleconsole"
Simply change these two binds in default.cfg file to:
bind "`" "clear; toggleconsole"
bind "~" "clear; toggleconsole"
delete the config.cfg (in your id1) directory, and then modify the autoexec.cfg in your pak0.pak or id1 folder, to bind:
con_notifytime -1 to a key. (default is 3) what that does is at -1 it sends all text/talk/team_says directly to console.
So... i use:
bind "k" "con_notifytime -1"
bind "l" "con_notifytime 3"
// or you can also type con_notifytime -1 before typing: rage or whatever macro connect to link your using.
Remember to see the text during gameplay it's just con_notifytime 3 in console.
Simple workaround. Duely note, you will not be able to read anything in the console with this workaround, as you cannot unbind the tidle/hypen key inside quake.
However you could always bind any other key to toggleconsole.
like:
bind , "toggleconsole"
bind "," "toggleconsole"
whatever way you want both binds would work the same as any other bind.
only catch is, if you do bind it to another key to read text (before clearing the console) as that is all tidle/hypen key will do after these modifications, you have to use that tidle/hypen key to close console as the binded toggleconsole key will not (remove the console) like it brings it down, but it won't take it back up.
Anyways its a workaround to silent quaking experience.
