Hi all,

So it’s been a minute, and I am not sure if it’s even proper etiquette to revive such an old thread (probably not), but I was too shy to start a new one.

I just wanted to state once again your contributions to keep Tastyspleen alive and kicking are so appreciated. I may not get around to thanking you personally but please know your generosity is acknowledged and I am thankful for every dime. It warms my heart to see this community still going strong just shy of 2 years since Bill’s untimely passing. He would definitely be thrilled to know his pet project is still thriving!

Big love to all you ‘Spleeners!

Mrs Quadz

Quake / Digital Paint: Paintball 2 engine for Vanilla Quake 2 (Happy 25th Anniversary!)
Nice Job / Good Work Nice Job / Good Work

Decided to do something special for the Quake2 25th anniversary and release a version of the Paintball 2 engine that's compatible with vanilla Quake2.  Don't want to say how many hours it took to get things (mostly) working again, like save games, legacy HUD behavior, etc, BUT it's here and brings a lot of improvements:
- Improved texture filtering and handling to make things look less washed out and blurry
- Gamma adjustment on lightmap instead of gl_modulate to make things brighter without losing detail.
- Reflective water
- High-res textures (have to be put in the hr4 directory and will be 4x higher resolution than base textures, can also be larger to reduce tiling).
- Non-qwerty keyboard support.
- Faster file downloads over UDP (if connecting to a server also using this feature).
- Tweaks and fixes to make movement physics smoother (no random stops mid strafe jump and things like that -- also has to be on the server for this to work in multiplayer).

A couple screenshots are attached for comparison between vanilla Q2 (about as good as I could make it look) and PB2Q2.

You can download it at http://digitalpaint.org/

Edit: I have a server running at quake2.digitalpaint.org -- we'll be organizing some play time starting at 3PM EST.  http://discord.digitalpaint.org if you want to hang out on voice while we play.

lol relax, I'd never expect you to actually program something like that anyway. Plus I've wasted hours creating jump maps that took 15+ minutes to complete so I'm not much better. :D

It's fun to look back at what could have been and this is just one of them. The premise of eliminating latency in this game was completely overshadowed by the fact that Razor did it and you just proved that point. How many home/away games in TDM could have just been a complete non-factor if we didn't have to worry about hitscan latency?

This is definitely something to at least look into, if you find it annoying having to lead shots in this game.
