why bother if there's proper gamma support in it? 

with any GL-engine. Even h/w gamma can't bring out the colours like idgamma can, if properly set. The only time it doesn't work well is with extremely bright texes (classic example: kjsp1). 

There are different gammas now? 

Idgamma with FitzQ - yes, because I've gotten used to how it looks with my own custom idgamma-generated palette/colormap.

I'd have to echo what aguiRe said: as far as I seen (not that I've fiddled much with FQ's settings) you just can't get the same colour vibrancy and contrast etc that idgamma provides, just by using in-engine commands. 

If you don't know what idgamma is, check out this page:

If you'd like to see the difference it can make just replacing the standard palette/colormap (without even changing any other settings), check this out.

Pretty remarkable difference there. 

it turned i used frib's idgamma all this time and forgot about that! as i tried to remove it everything became dull and not contrast so i returned it back :) 

Those of you who dont have mobiles prolly spend all time at home and socialize entirely via inet...
sorry for ya pals

and yeah, phone ringing and loud talking (of any kind actually) in public places is annoying 

Just remember it when playing kjsp1 or Nehahra invein when all the nice bright texes are saturated ...

Idgamma is invaluable in most other maps. I even had to create custom pak variants when using some paks with modified palette, e.g. vile or lomgoat. 

The colours..they aren't ugly!!! 

I have found version 2.0 but get a 'path not found' error even though the path is correct.

Any known issues with WinXP? 

recall problems running idgamma under NT/2K/XP. There's a v2.1 that maybe helps but I think there were still some issues. Run in full screen and backup your id1 game paks beforehand, it might replace one at will.

I used to hate mobile phones, had the same old one for years, barey functioning and barely using it for anything.

Recently I was (almost) forced to buy a new one (NOKIA 6020), and hey...I'm starting to like it better. Trying to avoid talking loudly in public places etc., it's just there for sending SMS mostly. And it has a nice colour display with easy to grasp menus, and the battery in it actually stays up for days :) 

just use frib's generated pak file, it works well in most cases. 

Seriously. 

Thanks, you're right. 

I don't know if this has already been posted, but here goes.

Play Quake on your PSP!

I haven't tried it yet, but it should be cool to play Quake on the go - especially if we can play our own levels! :)

There are also emulators for the psp now, so if the thought of playing ps2 ports for �30 isn't your idea of fun, you can grab a copy of snes9x and play mario world :)

If you thought you won't be able to play your mods and such on this version of Quake, think again. The article also mentions some other interesting stuff (ie this version of Quake will be OpenGL on new, upcoming phone hardware - some of the phones will even have analog controllers..) 

thanks, I thought the same but wondered whther I might have missed some command in the new ftiz version. 

Hope those of you from over there and your families, freinds, etc are all safe. 

What was that one site, it was orange and I believe it had a .RU domain, and "quake" in the domain, and had tons of Quake maps? 

 

I always use qizmo's .gamma .3 or .4 with quakeworld... dunno how it works, but contrast is much better than with quake's own gamma. (and the "contrast" command doesn't help either).

Metal-slime could do some improvements to next version or then make a newgamma command or something. 

Seems to be down right now. I think I went there earlier and it brought up Quaddicted or some other site. 

Seconded. I hope you've managed to contact all your loved ones.
