The natural conclusion to custom engine shenanigans! 

.. much better than the random highres texture used on everything or the old mipcap 3 and other horrors. 

I didn't say it was bad, I just said I didn't found it really good.... It's my own taste... 

Aguire, you still around these day?

i wanted to convert the quake1 map sources into the q2/q3 format (with the extra face definitions and texture path, so basically the opposite of -f 32).

i tried with mapconv.exe, but it's not working. specifically, it's messing up 'key' names, ie:
"message" "map name"
becomes
"" "essage" "map name"

so if you could toss a reverse convert of q1 -> q2 format into your already great converter, that'd rock. :) 

There is a java version of my map converter floating around that should do this. You should be able to get it from here:

didn't know you had continued developement of mapconv! i shall have to try that tomorow :) 

I'm looking for a few quake 1 icons. I have some shortcuts to quake bat files on the total commander toolbar. The blue&white MSDOS icons don't look that good :) 

i got some Ankh shoot in irc when i get home and online! 

the new java version worked fine :) 

there are some here:

but Trinca if you have some nice different ones please post them here. 

are alias .tri files ascii? 

http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/ico.rar only two :| 

You're welcome. Glad I could help. 

where are you, you little idiot? i miss the axially-designed mapping madness! 

winquake has a nice q-rune icon - i use it for my quest shortcut 

... 

I don't think so. 

was just asking to possibly be able to help this guy working on a quake NDS port:

Actually, does anyone here have any experience with the Quake engine? I've been playing Quake on the tube in the morning but upgrading the networking has somehow corrupted my save file! And I was nearing the end of the game! No fair!

Quake's .sav files are basicly dumps of the network, possibly specially formatted, I dunno, but the jist of it is, the engine must be able to speak whatever protocol the demos use.

Someone needs to confirm this to be sure, but I'm pretty certain of the above. 

i thought they were dumps of the server state, meaning they contain the entire level and not just the part that is sent to the client. But this is all speculation of course. 

Well, client demos are dumps of network traffic the client receives.

Server demos, I dunno... I'm guessing that as server demos are mostly compatible with client demos, that it's pretty much more of the same, but with info about more stuffs.

Of course, SP demos are different again, as they already know about everything. It's probably just yet another client demo... 

I thought we were talking about savegames, not demos. 

My bad :) 

You can "corrupt" a savegame if you change the progs.dat file in such a way that the order of precaches changes. Then things will get the wrong modelindex and look odd. I don't know if that's what he means by corrupted though, it sounds more serious than just this... 

But not sure about the save games. If you open a .sav file in a text editor they appear to just contain a dump of the state of everything in the map along with some unknown values/data at the start of the file.
