Trouble Shooting / Re: Quake changing colors mid-game

« on: March 19, 2008, 02:08:41 PM »

Thanks a ton for the help Dervish and others.  I'm running totally vanilla Q2 now, as far as I know anyway.

Any recommendations on good/reliable/non-buggy pak files that have bright skins, 3...2...1 grenade timers, improved sounds, lower poly (less spam) rocket explosions, etc.?

Another weirdness screenshot.  Been messing around with paks, removing some temporarily, and trying to switch back and forth from GL to R1GL renderer.  I've gotten this a couple times now -

Still having this problem.  I don't honestly know which pak files are original from Q2 and which I've added.

I have these in my /baseq2/ directory - PAK0.pak, pak1.pak, pak8.pak, pak9.pak

I have pakscape.exe for viewing .pak files.  Where would I find this colormap.pcx file within the pak files, and what specifically should I do about them if there are more than one?

Thanks a ton, this sucks, I haven't played lately because it's frustrating/annoying to keep dealing with this

Quake / Re: A good 1-eared headset, USB preferred...

« on: March 15, 2008, 03:28:31 PM »

Yeah, I just use my 2.1 speaker setup for Quake 2 sounds.  I just want the headset for voice chat.  I don't like wearing headphones for long periods of time, they get uncomfortable, and I have a couple higher $$$ pair of Sennheiser's too.

Can anybody recommend a good 1-ear headset for use with Q2, etc.?  I think I've heard USB is preferred, so I suppose I'd prefer a USB one.  I've never owned a headset, so not sure what I need to look for.  Just always like to buy something of higher quality if I'm gonna shell out the cash.  TYIA =)

David Spade has fans??    

I must admit that I am a fan of most any guy that can score a chick like this... hell, she even let him nut inside her (less we had a leaky condom)

Ok, loaded up R1Q2 (what I always use), didn't even load a map or anything... Here are a couple screenshots from the console.  As you can see the problem even starts there.

I did notice that it just seems to be the objects, and not the environment, physical parts of the map, etc.  Hmmm, perhaps that's a clue...

Trouble Shooting / Quake changing colors mid-game

« on: February 22, 2008, 01:47:01 PM »

Since I've started playing quake again, in the past week or so, sometimes when I'm playing, my colors will all of a sudden turn from a normal color to a purplish/pinkish hue.  I've attached a before/after screenshot to try to show the differences.  Never seen this before, was just curious if anybody else had any clue what was going on.

When I do a vid_restart, it fixes it temporarily, sometimes for only a few seconds, sometimes for many minutes to an entire gaming session.

Any input would be much appreciated 

 

Edit:  Made the pics jpegs so they weren't so huge.  As you can see... my crosshair all but disappears when the colors have a change.  My bright-skinned player models become very hard to see as well.  So for those 2 reasons alone, this annoys me =P

Tank is totally washed up.  He just sat there and let Kimbo punch him.  Tank has like zero head movement.  If anybody lets a guy Kimbo's size wail on their faces like that they are going to go down.  Kimbo is exciting to watch though.  He's really aggressive which makes for exciting fights.

Bot Drop / Suspected Bot on DM server earlier

« on: February 18, 2008, 04:54:21 PM »

Name was Higbert.  May check his IP against other known botters.  I have no demos though, sorry.  I'm certain he wasn't just "that good", he was fairly clearly botting IMO

Quake / Re: where's daelmun?

« on: February 15, 2008, 06:36:18 PM »

Odd how he would just disappear, assuming that's what happened.  (I haven't been around much lately either)

Did anyone communicate with him regularly outside of the game?  Like through IM or whatnot?  Seems like if he was knowingly going to be absent for any length of time somebody would have heard about it.

Is this like a concerning thing, or something he's done before?
