Quake / Focalor's Pak v3.0

« on: October 31, 2008, 09:14:55 AM »

A few people have been poking me to post my latest pak. I figured I'd post a notice here to spread the joyous news of it's release. What better day than Halloween to release this devilish looking pak.

I've posted a few preview images and details of the features on the download page as well. It is the shit. You're welcome.

Chad Kroeger? (NickelBack)

God I hope not. His voice is a little too rough and grungy sounding. I can't hearilize (the Focalor's English language butchery equivalent to "visualize") that sounding non-cacophonic. But then again, when you go from hearing Robert Plant to ANYONE else, there is basically no one who could ever hope to measure up to his voice and style of delivery.

Quake / Re: double your fps with one command.

« on: October 30, 2008, 08:05:54 PM »

this is not so obvious to people but you type gl_mode 3 if you are getting shitty fps. 

All that does is set your screen resolution. For slower PC's, that may increase performance. It doesn't make a difference on mine. I use the same as the desktop resolution, 1024x768 (gl_mode "6")

The most handy gl setting I've found to increase your timerefresh is gl_swapinterval.

Look in your config. I think by default this should be set to gl_swapinterval "1". If it is, go ahead and start up the game. Hop on an empty server. Then type timerefresh in console. This will give you your actual FPS. Then type set gl_swapinterval "0" in console. Then type vid_restart. Then type timerefresh again. You should notice a big improvement in your FPS.

Additionally, this will probably increase your mouse aiming responsiveness. I notice that with gl_swapinterval "1", there is a slight lag from the time I move the mouse to the time that it actually turns my view. With gl_swapinterval "0", aiming movement is virtually instantaneous. This is VERY helpful because the person with the quickest aim is usually the one who survives.

Doesn't matter who they choose, at least they won't be as bad as Queen with Paul Rodgers from Bad Company on vocals. I loved Bad Company, that was some of the best pure-balls rock and roll to ever come out of the 70's. But when he teamed up with Queen, he let his gay pride fuckin' RUN WILD! Holy crap! I had no idea he was such a flamer! Kinda makes me think of songs like "Feel Like Makin' Love" in a whole new way.

Most of us around here know enough to solve our own problems.

Evidence of that ability or implementation in your case?

I think he's made a few behind the scenes efforts so far to bury the hatchet with one or two folks. Maybe all that "hope" and "change" that Obama keeps haranguing us about is actually happening. We'll see.

Chris Cornell FTW!!!1!

I don't know if his voice is that good anymore, I hear a little bit less balls compared to the Soundgarden days. But you have to admit, he'd be an excellent wailer and growler of a substitute for Robert Plant.

True, however...

...I don't know it looks on anyone elses end, but it looks like a hosed-down pile of monkey shit on the driveway on my screen. It draws an ugly line on the left and top edges of the transparent corners of the pcx files.

In 1024x768 resolution, the scoreboard comes out kinda small. If you're like me and resize the screenshots to make them smaller for posting purposes, you end up being barely able to read the scoreboard unless you use conchars with black backings. If having larger HUD items is what you desire for screenshot purposes, I'm sure you could write an alias that would first switch your resolution to something like 800x600, then restart the video, then take the screenshot, then switch it back to your normal resolution, then restart the video again. I'm not sure about that though, it could possibly end up not working. I know that if I take a screenshot at the end of a map and close out the game directly at the beginning of the next map, it ends up not keeping the screenshot even though it says it's done saving.

Drop dead playboy.

fail.

lol, nah! you know what's 'fail'? Coming here with a story like this and looking for help from people online. He should talk to family or friends in person and ask them for advise instead.

.

Not for nothin'... but I gotta agree with Panjoo. This a forum about Quake2. What would lead ANYONE to believe that anyone around here is qualified to tell someone what they should do about an important life decision? Might as well pick a number out of the phone book at random, it would be equally as appropriate and would probably yield the same advice. Ask close personal friends, ask your parents or some other family member, ask ANYONE who has known you in real life for longer than a week. While much of the advice given out so far I'd have to say is good advice, he could figure out the same things all by himself if he'd only look objectively at the situation. Sure, the situation sucks, (and sorry if I sound like a total prick) but it's not anyone's fault around here.  

But since you asked for advice, I'll give you the best advice anyone could ever give you... don't listen to the advice of others unless they are reasonably credible. It's your own life to live and others are likely to give you advice based on their own feelings and prejudices which may not be your own. Follow no advice but your own.
