@Monster Smash Wow! An original Quake CD for 20 bucks?! That seems… a bit expensive. Heh, I guess it has become somewhat of a collector’s item nowadays…
Contrary to what etb said, you don’t necessarily have to rip the music from your CD: not sure about some of the engines I’ve listed but at least the most popular ones support CD playback, so you just have to put your CD in your drive and the engine will read the music directly from the CD.
@etb Yeah, you can do all that… or you can just save youself some time and download the .pk3 from the link I’ve provided!
My point is simply that the music is there in “some assembly required” state as I said in the beginning, but sure you can also pirate it or use different music. Why bother.
[quote=Madfox]>As for Q1, can you recommend what version & format I should get for a Windows 98 with 3dfx voodoo 2.<
Don’t play Quake1 with a vodoo2 card.
These cards work best with related videogames like Tombraider and Unreal.
When you want comparable results install it on WinXp and use Fitzquake![/quote]
Thanks, I will take your advice. Window XP will be no problem as I have a dedicated WinXP gaming computer. But it is not connected to the internet. Does it need to be connected in order to setup Fitzquake? I use my Win7 machine for the internet, I can download files and then transfer over to my other computers.
I’ll try doing this during my xMas vacation in 2 weeks from now.
BTW Q2 plays great on my voodoo2 sli system which is a Pentium 3 MB that I’m sure helps boost the performance. Not that your a Q2 fan, but just for knowledge.
I know Vodoo2 performs better for Q2. Shaders and colours are more melted.
In fact, the results with Unreal IMHO have never been crossed, not even with modern grafic cards!
Q1 doesn’t have these parms for lightcodes, reason why Vodoo2 can’t do more than trying to make shapes more blended.
Programs like Fitzquake and DarkPlaces convert these colours in another way and are a platform for making dos games go on Windows.
So the results are in a comparable way, only Vodoo2 has a more stubborn way installing in that times of directX 6-7-8 and GL filters.
Fitzquake doesn’t need internet, but choose the right one, I thought 0.85 for winxp. Maybe Win7 is something else.
