TB has this ability and I was wondering if it was useful at all. I guess I'll keep it in then.

NVM. 

I am just debating whether to leave that feature in or not. I suppose it might be useful, but maybe "mods" isn't the right name for it. 

iirc, Warpspasm required running as two mods, "-game warp -quoth". so hypothetically if you were making addon maps for warp, it might be useful for TB to load assets from both gamedirs 

Sounds useful, if only for testing. Must use the same order as whatever engines support multiple gamedirs though, otherwise it is ripe for headaches. Try DP and FTE at least 

 

that's all.

Warp just used the HUD from DOE (I think) which was the only reason to include the -quoth switch, since warp itself effectively contained the version of Quoth required (monsters etc).

It was so you could see the runes, which had been omitted to show the lance / plasma gun.

If I remember right.

Mandel - nice video!

http://www.gamnesia.com/news/A-Job-Listing-Suggests-id-Software-is-Working-on-Rebooting-Quake

I can't help but be pre-disappointed. 

It's literally a completely nonspecific job listing to work at id.

They mention Doom and Quake because the 2 most recent titles they have worked on are DOOM and Quake Live. Reading any further into it is pure stupidity. 

 

There's nothing there that suggests the next title is a Quake.

Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to just keep backing the horse that's winning right now (i.e. Doom) ? 

I'm sure id are looking at Quake right now. Not saying they're definitely making a Quake but imagine they do the whole trio of their most well known franchise and get it right, people will definitely hail them as the daddys of the shooter genre again. 

It's probably safe to bet a new quake is on the horizon somewhere. who knows, maybe it's already been picked and poked at here n there.

I can see a darker, grittier return to a quake1 style. Maybe heavier story and rpg elements than doom4 and not as arcade oriented (no health drops from enemies). maybe the intention is to have doom fill the multiplayer role and make quake more sp oriented.

I would like a new quake.

Then they've done a terrible job of it. Doom 2016's single player is getting rave reviews, whilst the multiplayer is the definition of mediocrity. 

I think that was the intent though. I feel trying to revive/reboot the q3/qlive/arcade shooter is too risky. A so-so doom mp would have a less damaging impact than a so-so quake mp.

It personally wouldn't surprise me if the next game from id was a quake/heretic/hexen amalgam under the quake IP targeting core gamers, specifically the fps/bloodbourne/dark souls/thisgameishardandscary crowd. After that they might introduce a new ip to grab a specific demo. I doubt they'll bring back rage any time soon, if at all. This is 110% uninformed speculation of course, it's just my guess.
