Vehicals ..? :/

[SpannA]

Is there any resson why we carnt put in some vehicals.? eg like Halo and ut2004.?some code that within radius of the vehical then command an impulse ,removes the player model and replaces it with the vehical one with vehical dynamics like quake rally .? (my coding aint up to this level).

I don't see why it can't be done in quake.

Nope, vehicles are perfectly possible in Quake.

See Quake Rally, AirQuake, Nehahra or Tomaz Mini Racer.

I'd rather disappointed that vehicles in Quake haven't been used that much.

Quake is Quake, not Battlefield. Quake is a hardcore fast-paced first-person-shooter deathmatch game, vehicles generally don't belong here.

I have to agree here. Vehicles on a standardized Quake 1 map would be out of place.

If there were the ability to have large indoor & outdoor areas in Quake 1 then I could easily see vehicles thriving. But driving a hummer in semi-circles "OS" doesn't strike me as fun or functional.

Quake as it is right now is run and gun without asking questions or even stopping to think.

Just my thoughts.

now that is an option, speed could be bumped up a notch, possibly sharpening weapon skills further - on the move

Vehicles are a poor fit with the way existing maps for Quake have been made, that is for sure.

But mapping is open ended...

The mod I'm working on plans to add in vehicles..

In fact, I'm more or less waiting for some news on stick-physics to incorporate into the team's mod for vehicle physics.

i remember seeing a mod for flying ships and mechs on wide open landscapes.
obviously vehicles would be dumb on regular maps in regular quake. it would require a new mod. but there do exist big maps suitable for vehicles. the problem would be finding them.

i believe telejano is responsible for the mod im thinking of , and i also remember something about him using a terrain generator for big quake maps

Yes. But Quake is also a superb single player experience, second only to DOOM (and Half-Life, arguably, which is a Quake mod).

Sure, maps are generally not large enough to fit tanks in, but what about forklifts for example. They can be fun to drive. I could also imagine boats. Malice, for example, has minisubs, and the hoverboard - technically a vehicle. Another Quake mod.

There are mechs in Quake, which are technically vehicles. Try the mod Custents. There's also a mech TC somewhere. Baker would know more.

In a map without vehicles, it's also clear that you can't escape from the horror. If you had a working Hummer, for example, wouldn't you rather escape? Only Quake is about being locked in with monsters.

It's Tei's (Telejano coder) Kanada invades USA.
For fun with vehicles check out GTA Quake.

[Baker]

GTA Quake.

That's a mighty bad vehicle model there.

Either that or one of the more popular cars in France. :d

Who escapes in Quake? Quake is a pushover for me even in nightmare mode.

Rather hard to get a MechTec on the run, takes so much scripting.
The AuqaMarine in Malice was great, but why did they scramble the progs so all info got crashed.
Vehicles are hard to solve with func_trains.

ah ha !

fun ideas ! DM6 with hover board LoL
