Func_Msgboard: Nehahra

Posted by Mindcrime on 2005/10/05 11:26:50

I've found that adding to the Obscurus thread for Nehahra related stuff is moderately depressing, so with some substantial Nehahra releases in the future, I thought it best to give it its own thread.

This is the place to voice any comments or suggestions on Nehahra, as it is being revamped and the final official episode of the main Nehahra/Quake storyline is in development.

Progress in that department can always be found at:

http://www.planetquake.com/nehahra/revamp.html

It would be especially helpful to mention any bugs noticed when trying to play and/or map for Nehahra. Chances are I'm aware of it and have rectified it or intend to do so.

Suggestions for new features are welcome, even though there's already a truckload of those in the game (not to mention a lot of cleaning up -- where possible -- of wonky setups to certain features). Maybe I'll share some that I didn't share on the revamp page on here in the future. For the most part, once the release happens including the Devkit2.txt, a mapper with the intention of making a Nehahra map will have such a broad range of freedom and options that it might well result in them being committed to a local sanitarium.

Speaking of that, if anyone is working on a Nehahra map or episode that I don't know about. Clue me in. You can count on my interest. I know of several already.

The ones that I do not know the current status of are:

I tried the Requiem engine for nehahra and it works very well.

Directq 1.88 patch 1 also supports nehahra

Here is a DOS Quake engine with Nehahra support

There's one case ... where it stuffcmds the same setting every frame

Yes - we all love Nehahra... but QS support is too hard, and i would kindof die before we inlined it.

Someone should update and host QuDos' (cross-platform) NehQuake (as an Darkplaces alternative) if it hasnt been done. Maybee i still have the source.

Import Nehahra's autoshotgun into arcane dimensions

I originally posted this question on the Quaddicted forums, but since no help seems to be forthcoming there, I thought I'd repost it here:

Hi all. Wondering if anyone could help me out in my second attempt to play Nehahra [using ReQuiem]. I played through about half of the first episode a while ago, but a hard drive crash erased my progress. It seemed like the start to a great campaign... except for the strafing AI which lots of people seem to complain about. I tried using the nomonsters 1 command, and ReQuiem seemed to accept it as valid in the console but it had no effect, either when I used it in-game or before loading the first map with the console. Everyone was still running around and strafing like an asshole. That's my job! Also didn't work when I put +nomonsters 1 in the command line, nor when I put quotation marks around "1".

Did You Try Putting It In The Config Or An Autoexec?

I didn't. Doesn't work when I put it in the config, having tried formatting it in various ways. What's the correct extension for an autoexec?

.cfg

Iirc

#428 posted by spy on 2016/09/22 03:04:27

there's no much difference between nomonsters 0/1
the monsters still wont behave like your vanilla Q monsters

#429 posted by lpowell on 2016/09/22 04:54:48

That's too bad. I thought the quaddicted description implied it would disable *all* ai changes.

#430 posted by Yhe1 on 2016/09/22 07:12:43

The monsters do still strafe, but there is still a noticeable effect. Maybe you are inputing the command wrong

#431 posted by Henry on 2016/09/22 07:29:20

Grunts and enforcers will no longer strafe when setting nomonsters to 1. Read the source if you want.
You have to use an engine that supports it.

#432 posted by lpowell on 2016/09/22 09:05:20

I've been using reQuiem. I also know Fitzquake Mk V supports Nehahra, maybe I'll try that.

@Yhe1: I added a line to config.cfg like so
nomonsters "1"

then made an autoexec.cfg with the only line:
nomonsters "1"
and left it in the mod folder.

Assuming I'm not inputting it wrong, I could just not be noticing the difference.

Although, to be honest, whether it's working or not--I'm already back to where I was the last time I played Nehahra and it's not that bad. It's probably a combination of knowing what to expect and being better at Quake now, but I don't mind so much. It would be nice to know if I'm doing something wrong, though.

#433 posted by Mugwump on 2016/09/22 16:54:27

Have you tried this syntax: "nomonsters" "1" in your config/autoexec?

#434 posted by dwere on 2016/09/22 17:18:19

The engine accepts the command. It just doesn't make Nehahra a whole lot less annoying. I highly doubt redundant quotation marks are gonna fix that.

Shit Remember Glassman?

#437 posted by Drew on 2018/04/01 23:09:59

wish he'd released that pack he had shots of up.

I think mindcrime had another episode too

#442 posted by likkid on 2018/06/04 02:58:01
