Merry Quakemas everybody!

This is a Quake community wide project with several mappers and modders pitching in with a wide range of articles. The first post was written by Spirit and can be found here

Quake savegames were text files until yesterday. Thanks for that awesome bit of knowledge.

That was freaking hilarious. Lots of surreal stuff going on in there.

The Quake fanfiction tidal wave continues!

But what the heck is a Rubicon Rumble Pack?

It's A Map Pack

#42 posted by ijed on 2013/12/09 20:50:41

Currently in production, based off Rubicon2.

Looks Promising, can't wait to play it!

Cool.

BTW you should make a printable CD insert for Quake that replaces the "story so far" with your version. Definite improvement.

Really enjoyed that savegame thing, not very challenging but it did manage to put a smile on my face. The hacks were pretty out there, put an interesting spin on the standard Quake gameplay. I especially liked the floating heads and upside-down vores. Well done!

Also with all the Rubicon talk lately, been thinking about creating something for Rubicon 2 myself as a way of getting back into Quake mapping - maybe this is a sign that 2014 is indeed destined to be the Year of Rubicon.

Always room for more, but you'll have to be quick and dedicated.

Johnny, thanks, but might as well just make a full game.

Man, all this time I had NO idea that save games were text files ... just never had a reason to look I guess. Cool info!

Just Downloaded QDOS And...

#52 posted by Breezeep_ on 2013/12/10 23:12:43

anyone know how to get it to work?

Qdos Requires Dos

#53 posted by FifthElephant on 2013/12/11 00:05:48

... are you running it from dos? (and not the prompt, the actual dos).

#54 posted by Breezeep_ on 2013/12/11 00:29:37

I tried running it with DOSBOX, but I get this error saying: Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV Page Fault at epi=0000001 (I can't copy the error message from DOSBOX) how do I fix this?

#55 posted by FifthElephant on 2013/12/11 00:41:37

my guess is that you actually have to boot it from dos.

Lets be honest here, this is kind of a fun geeky thing to do (boot from proper dos), but in practicality you're better off using a modern source port.

Oh, I didn't mean for this particular pack, just in general. Is that pack something that is planned as part of the advent calendar?

No,

#57 posted by ijed on 2013/12/11 05:55:21

Just something we're doing for the fun of it.

There's four involved including myself, if you want in then send me an email. The finish date is when we're all ready, so next year, not what remains of this one :)
