Func_Msgboard: Quake Custom Engines

Posted by Kinn on 2004/10/07 07:13:44

Discuss modified Quake engines here, I guess. What engines do you use? What are the pros/cons of existing engines? What features would you like to see implemented/removed?

A Question About Software Rendering.

#708 posted by Kinn on 2023/01/11 14:59:21

Does any engine do authentic-looking "software rendering" (so a pixel-peeping comparison between it and Winquake, of the same scene, would be the same), and also runs AD generally well?

Btw - I don't mind if it's "fake software rendering" done on the GPU, as long as it is properly emulating the way WinQuake does it with the colormap and whatnot.

I've tried a few engines that fake the software look as a sort of post-process thing (e.g. Ironwail), and it always looks wrong and gross.

I tried Mark V WinQuake but it seems to crash in AD.

Oh Wait....

Interesting - hadn't heard of that one!

Meanwhile, I've been quite pleased with how Ironwail does it.

I actually get a really nice vibe when playing in 1080p, with render scale set to 1/2, and 8-bit mode set to "balanced". Good stuff!

Oh Wow, I Just Re-read My Post #708

It seems then that I was mistaken and Ironwail is NOT one of those "wrong and gross" solutions to the software rendering problem. Not sure which engines I was remembering but I guess it wasn't Ironwail, at least not the version I'm now using.

The more I look at Ironwail's "balanced" mode, the more I am impressed by it. It somehow, using arcane wizard magic, even gives perfect extra grit to badly-converted textures. This is my favourite way to view Quake I think.

Haha, someone made a port of Mark V WinQuake.

Nice!

That's What Happens

When you're not around to take care of your own projects. :P Lesson learned, I hope?

ezquake antilag is pretty decent: https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/blob/e8ed7a50935e88a5c8d3c5921afb3e51d9c793b3/src/sv_world.c#L627

currently testing on inter-continental matches and pretty decent
