    Quake and Windows 8
    As-salamu-Alaykum

    Windows 8 has been released public. But don't know Quake will run on Windows 8 system...

      Don't expect it to be....

      1. Supported - Quake is kinda old-school, each new OS is getting further away and thus will have less support for it.

      2. Properly-Working - Windows 8 supports every game as Windows 7, but won't be for long. They plan to make it so only games out of the Windows Store will work correctly. Stick with Windows 7.

      I have Windows 8 now, and Quake works perfectly in Windows 8.

    Rottweiler & Fiend Jump
    Vorknkx

    Hello,

    The other Admins and I are having some doubts about the glitches you mentioned about the Rottweiler and Fiend's instant-kill jumps. This is mostly because we've never encountered such a glitch before and we couldn't find it mentioned on other Quake-related websites.

    Can you provide some confirmation for this glitch? Also, where did you encounter it - was it in the original DOS game, WinQuake/GLQuake, or some other source port?


    Thanks :)

    Thanks for deleting "About the levels" page. The reason is the page is useless. If I found a page is useless, I will erase all texts in the page and requested to be deleted.

    Once more, thanks
    Deathstalker666

    Just posting to say thanks for all the recent edits lately. You have fixed up a good number of unnoticed glitches and the administration team appreciates your efforts (I do at least, though if the others were around I believe they would say the same). Keep up the good editing!

      32-bit Windows advantages:

      1. Most compatible (Most popular programs are come in 32-bit binaries)

      2. Support for 16-bit programs

      3. Can use both signed and unsigned 32-bit drivers

      32-bit Windows disadvantages:

      1. Limited support of RAM (Can only be access up to 4GB of RAM)

      2. Slower than 64-bit successors

      3. More prone to security threats due to lack of Kernel Patch Protection (PatchGuard).

      64-bit Windows advantages:

      1. Nearly unlimited RAM support (Can be accessed up to 16 EB of RAM, exactly 17,179,869,184 GB of RAM. But Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and above can only access up to 192GB of RAM)

      2. Faster computing (Data is loaded from the RAM for faster access time.)

      3. 32-bit backward compatibility (SysWOW64 is included in Windows folder, called Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit.)

      4. Kernel Patch Protection (PatchGuard) for better security (PatchGuard is a security layer that prevents malicious software from patching the kernel.)

      5. Supports hardware-backed DEP (DEP, aka Data Execution Prevention, DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use computer memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.)

      64-bit Windows disadvantages:

      1. 32-bit device drivers won't work on 64-bit systems

      2. 64-bit require all 64-bit device drivers signed by developer

      3. No 16-bit program support

      4. More memory consumption (64-bit executables may be bigger than 32-bit counterparts.)

      Interesting list you put together, definately helps differentiate between the two.

    Thanks for all the recent Quake edits
    Deathstalker666

    I wish to thank you for your recent edits, they have cleared up some inconsistencies on the enemy pages that I neglected to notice.

    One brief question though, why is Thunderbolt damage 1749 instead of 1700? 100 rounds is the maximum, each causes 17 damage. Did you use math to get your answer, or is there a way to test ingame for such high damage?

    Demo Recording
    As-salamu-Alaykum

    Deathstalker666, to record your Quake demos, bring down console by pressing tilde key, then type: "record (yourdemoname)" (without quotes).

    This will help you save your time recording your walkthrough without failing, if you die, you can stop recording by typing "stop" (without quotes) in console, then record again. If you finish all of the walkthrough, you can record a video during the demo by using Fraps.

      What you are saying is to record a demo, then take that demo and record it in Fraps. I say it is easier to record in Fraps and skip the demo, as long as a key is set up to start/stop recording. Plus it stops the console from being displayed when playing the game.

    E1M7 and E4M3
    Deathstalker666

    Just curious, how did you find the statistics on Zombies and Shamblers? After further examination I see what you mean, there definately is a number of Zombies (Shamblers gib in a different fashion that results in the head being seen). The number intrigues me however, the method you used to get it might be useful in further studies. Perhaps some editor (I tried that route, but the one I used wasn't very stable)?

    As for E4M3, I am willing to combat you on your belief of 50 on easy. If you require screenshot evidence I could supply it. Maybe this is some workings of your port (Joequake is different than the original in some form, don't really know about the port besides that both are related to ZQuake and FuhQuake as I tried EzQuake at one time). Try loading it in GlQuake or WinQuake and checking once more.

      Deathstalker666, the Quake Live railgun damage per hit is 90, not 80.

      If you think so, change it. If anyone disagrees we can get into this topic. I honestly don't know, my focus is on Quake 1. Toxic was our Quake 3 person, but he is gone, meaning we don't really have anyone to moderate it at the time and we wish the other users who might have experience with it to work together to get it working.
