Your quake looks old school, what engine are you running? 
 
 
DaZ - Lighting is all temp, just letting myself see what's going on.

RoQ - Quakespasm with everything set to "old school" 
How Did You Set It To That? 
 
 
It's basically just setting the texture filtering to nearest, the particles to square and ... I think that's it. 
 
Oh, and I run sort of a low res so I get that old Quake software feel. 
So 
Is dickbutt going to be the final boss? 
 
I shudder to imagine his finishing move... 
I'm Regretting Speculating About This Now 
 
I'd Also Add These For Additional Oldskoolness

Reminds me of some coastal fort I visited in Florida.

St. Augustine? I visited there in the early 70's as a kid. It was quite the trip. We went from Key West to Jacksonville and back (my grandparents lived in Plantation at the time). We hit Disney World less than a year after it opened so no Magic Mountain for me (this is my sad face). We honeymooned in Florida but we went for Expo instead. That and Sea World, some water park next to Sea World that I can't recall the name of (the Der Stukka slide I remember though, jammed my swimsuit so far up my ass I'm still picking out threads over 30 years later. The wife also remembers it because it turned her swimsuit into a thong long before that was fashionable)and Coco beach because she wanted to go to Ron Johns surf shop. 
 
nothing so fancy. there are a bunch of them that are nominally maintained yet still look pretty run down (eg: http://fortdesoto.com/ ). 
Ok... 
I was thinking east coast and not Tampa. St. Augistine is the oldest fort in Florida so that's what I thought you were talking about. Fort Myers was going to be my second guess. Desoto was my third.

I'm not a big fan of the Gulf. It's too shallow. Deeper is better when you happen to be inside a submarine. The North Sea and Irish Sea was also a problem in that regard (600 feet isn't the best depth band). The White Sea and the Barents were all good though. Deep water is better, less chances of hitting the dirt that way. 
Very Nice Warren 
I think this mapping scene is only getting better with age!
I need to get my pc sorted out so I can join in again 
WiZaRD MeTaLS!!!! 
Nice Broken Wizmet1_2 
 
More Screenies Please! 
Thank you! 
Please Release Me 
Good Job, MadFox ! 
 
Nice... And Indeed... 
... it needs to be released now ! 
Nvidia DSR 
So in the latest Nvidia driver they have included something called "DSR" or "Down Sample Resolution" that lets you boost the native rendering resolution of any game by up to 4X and then resize the image to your monitor (basically giving you controllable super sampling in any game you like).

So here is The Marcher Fortress in 4K resolution http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/marcher4k.jpg

Great for screenshots! :D 
Dsr 
nice screen. does nvidia dsr work with any dx version and opengl? i use gedosato sometimes - borderlands 2 in 4k downsampled to 1920*1200 looks amazing - but it works only with dx9. 
 
What's the benefit to the gazillions of anti-aliasing options? Super sampling is from the 90s, right? 
Aa Variants 
supersampling is extremely resource demanding and incompatible with some modern engines. post-procesing fake aa works always but the result is questionable at best. instead of sharpening the image it just blurs everything. the idea behind dsr is interesting. would be nice to have one standart for both amd and nvidia cards. i tested stalker: shadow of chernobyl in 4k donwsized to 1920*1200 and it it incomparable with those crappy fxaa or mlaa fake anitaliasing modes. proper supersampling doesnt work in stalker so downsampling is the only option. of course you need super fast gpu.. 
Jakub 
The driver release notes state that is should work with any game, opengl/dx. I believe you do need a (somewhat) recent nvidia gpu for it to actually work however, I have a 660 and it works for me.

As for performance, yes it is super resource demanding. Quake was just about holding 35-40fps @ 4K resolution but I also had 8X msaa anti aliasing enabled as well which much be a huge resource hog with so many pixels on the screen.

Definitely recommending for screenshots only!
