You probably do not understand (12 comments)
Posted by stpbozin @ 09:47 CDT, 5 May 2022 - iMsg
You probably do not understand what really happens back then. You defenetly don't know, and seems like no one ever talked about that. Not like i expect from such people to have some shame or honor, or any other human characteristic. But still, it's quit funny to me that no one ever talk about this situation.

Well, i am gonna hack the time and bring you in a few years back. It was casual tdmpickup day, people were playing tdm matches, nothing special. I added myself to pickup, other players added to pickup, we got teams, bot choose the guy who should pick a map. Nothing special yet. Team contains four players, it was me, drki, french guy zulu and someone else, i don't remember who it was. Many years gone, i lost some memories and i don't remember who was the fourth player of our team. But i remember other things.

The player from our team decide to pick map called Terminatria, i think i wrote about that story before, right? And you may question what you don't know or don't understand about that story? Well, wait a bit, it's coming, i am trying to intrigue you and make it fun to read.

So, the guy from our team decide to pick a map Terminatria. I didn't care about map pick at all. I explained this. It's not my fantasy or twisted fact. It's obvious, it's statistic. I had biggest win rate on this map, like 60+% and i manage to win this map couple of times having zero deaths. So, for me it was, maybe not the best map pick, but defenetly not the worst, that's for sure, i had no issue with that map at all.

So, when players from my pickup team start arguing about map pick i was like "whatever you like guys". Change it our play it, i don't care. Well, i don't remember exactly, but i think drki and zulu was strongly against this map and the other guy was the map picker. And they had this conversation, they were arguing, vote dm20, vote something else. And at some point, once again, i don't remember exactly, but. But at some point, zulu or drki said that they gonna throw the game. They gonna throw the game because they don't like the map, so they can finish it faster and start new one on "normal" map.

Obviously, if i knew what's gonna happens next i would prepare screenshots, to prove...To be honest, i didn't really believe that they gonna throw the game for real. I thought it's like a trick, gimmick. I thought they treating that guy, blackmailing him to change the map. So, when everyone press ready and game started, i was playing like it was normal game. Like first minutes i was trying to get to rail gun and red armor, but enemies was all around, stacked and weaponized. And only after some times i realise that my team is camping somewhere at the area, after lg banana. I remember i spawned near the rail gun, there was no rail and i decide to go for red armor. And i saw all three of my team mates in that area, where is nothing besides maybe few ammo boxes. And only at this moment i realise that they are actually throwing the game, like they said. And i think it was after fearz warned me that he is gonna ban me for throwing the game(he warned me mid game that i will get banned). But even after this i didn't scroll console back to make screenshot. I don't know why. Probably underestimate rotten souls of trash people. I really didn't expect to actually get banned for this. As i explained, by overall stats it's was my best map and even in this particular match i wasn't worst player, by damage, net frags and etc. So, i didn't saw any reason why i would get banned.

So, now you may understand why i did what i did. I mean, if i didn't ban myself, after some time i would go to pickup again(like i actually did) and all this shit people will show themselves again. So by banning myself i burned the bridge, bridge to this shithole.

And why i even bring this up. Well, i am curious if drki or zulu, or this other guy is brave enough to confirm my words. No one gonna get banned now for what happens many years ago. So, nothing to be scared. But it would be nice to me and maybe shocking for other people.

how do you protect your table? (11 comments)
Posted by LOLatRoflexTimers @ 17:39 CDT, 21 April 2022 - iMsg
Whenever I buy a table eventually the side were I rest my keyboard hand gets the paint scratched from the usage. What could be used? I remember those wrist things that czm used but these look annoying.
In modern times there are the extra wide mousepads but these are annoying to carry for LANs. Maybe if there was an extra wide qck heavy with 6mm thickness I would think about it but the one i've seen has 4mm thickness and im too used to the 6mm.

What are you using?

Budget "Flawless" Gaming Mouse (12 comments)
Posted by Hawkish @ 18:48 CDT, 11 April 2022 - iMsg
EDIT 2: Looking at G203 PRODIGY but its out of stock, can you guys point me to a resource for FPS gaming and current pros and what mice they use for Quake and CSs and any other Esport tier FPS games. Thx.

EDIT: WMO and IE3.0 don't meet my needs atm. Needs to be left or ambidextrous so I can use PC normally and also play fps. Also need a large (like goliathus alpha) low dpi / low sens whole arm type style.

If I can't find something I'll prob try to get another goliathus alpha speed and abyssus new one (2k14 was trash with negative accel).




ORGINAL POST:

I need a left handed or ambidextrous gaming mouse that I can use for FPS either quake style or CSs style games. Need one that actually works and a compatible mousepad. I kinda want a mouse that I can learn to play FPS with since I am a newb. I need like 400 dpi or 1600 or so dpi and a big full arm mousepad.

I don't want any problems ideally under $50 or so.

Main problems I have before are acceleration and jitter. I need a mouse that doesn't have any massive problems that will actually work.

I want it to be pro level, esports tier but it doesn't have to be perfect. My abyssus and filco w/ browns or reds are perfect for sc2 and dota 2 but I need a gaming mouse.

It doesn't have to be the best perfect mouse but it needs to be able to allow me to use skill and learn.

Thx gamer bros

Has anyone tried the wide one? I realized the paint of the table I use has been scratched a bit due to usage, so im considering buying a wide one. The problem is, the wide one is only 4mm thick and im using to the qck heavy having 6mm thickness for more than 20 years playing with this model. Has anyone compared both?

Naa owner Dogs server what the hell (85 comments)
Posted by welkom @ 16:33 CDT, 1 April 2022 - iMsg
After playing Quake more then 23 years I experienced something I never experienced before online ingame.

I played a game on some random Dogs server when a mod named: senzu mesingze did not liked how I played and asked me if I am retarded? Then called me a homo cause I have colors in my playername and after that a faggot!! WTF????.
He then tried kicking me with a vote that did not work then he kicked me as a mod.
After that I returned had a discussion to please not do that then he banned me for 3 hours!
Then I played again on a server where he was not around. He joined then started to harness me. Then banned me again cause he did not like the way I played.

I was pissed to say the least.

I decided to look up this discord to find out whos the guy paying for this shit.

Seems to be a Finnish guy called Naa.

Came down to this: his words: This is not a democracy this is a dictatorship if u don't like it get lost I got pissed and upset and told him to fuck himself and his server and don't anything to do with them anymore.
ITS A DANGEROUS PLACE. Dogs used to be from a Dutch guy ( rip) who worked at Xs4all a company known to respect democracy. This Finnish idiot don't even knows how to spell that word.

This guy has a Linkendin and work at some IT company . I am bout to send a cooperate mail to his director to let him know how e treat people. No slander just facts. Shall I do it? Can we get this server shut down somehow? F. these guys.

Sombra interview with Thorin (26 comments)
Posted by azxx @ 13:50 CDT, 30 March 2022 - iMsg


Always nice to see such Quake content. I think Thorin could have dug a bit more about some questions about the old players and scene, but good interview.

I agree with Sombra's point about lack of QC tournaments below the level of QPL, but from what I can see the game isn't liked enough for the motivation behind community initiatives.

Antacid, a remix of the original Reflux with the rotating drum in the middle. Other than the powerup, the biggest change I see is that the big pipe next to the flag is now more viable because the acid is gone.

Description:

A remix based on "Reflux", one of my original maps included in the base install of Quake Live.

In light of recent events I started wondering how strong was the Ukrainian presence in the quake scene - across all titles.

From the top of my head I couldn't name a single top dueller, did they ever have a strong TDM team or maybe CTF?

I think Xron was strong in duel and I remember playing bpatela and laskij but I can't remember anyone else.

This frag movie is one of my biggest works, and probably was the hardest for me to create to its date. Nonetheless, I had a feeling that I have to give something back to you for the insane support last year. I wanted to create something from the community to the community of quake live. Therefore, I contacted some guys to send me demo material and voilŕ, this is what I came up with.
It definitely took me a while and some sleepless nights to finish this, but the result is more than just astronomical (at least for my opinion).

This movie was inspired by the "Colosseum Quake 3 Movie" made by Silu back in 2010 or something. I wanted to create something similar but also a little different, especially mixed up with my editing style.

However, I hope you enjoy the little piece of CTF/CA action. I am also open for every kind of feedback to make my future movies better.

HISTORY
--------
After the bitter man defeated the makron at the moon base he landed near a heavily fortified strogg military base.
There he learned that the Strogg had built a new makron. Now your mission is to
destroy the new one and avenge your fallen comrades without any help.

DETAILS

.Remastered Music from the official expansions (although you may already have them).

.Quake 3 music on some maps.

.Similar recreation of quake 4 maps in quake2.

.New graphical interface.

.Quake 4 monsters and weapons sounds.

This mod needs:

. Kmquake2 or Vanilla QUAKE 2 with unofficial patch 3.24.

KNOWN BUGS
----------

1) In the vehicle levels you have to be careful not to run into a wall while the vehicle is moving
forward because you could die as it is difficult to control the exact movement of the path_corner
in the editor. To avoid that, just don't touch the walls where the vehicle passes.

2) If you do not apply patch 3.24 you may encounter the following map errors (only vanilla)
. msg overflowed for player
. error: index overflow

3) KmQuake2 has the particularity that the entities known as boss2 and supertank do not explode,
so if one of those entities gets stuck in the vehicles it will be stuck and you will not be able to
move forward from there, the possible solution is to shoot until they destroy those monsters so that the vehicle can continue.

You can apply this patch for KmQuake 2 users and fix this:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-4-in-quake-2...2-patch-11
This does not happen in the vanilla version of Quake 2.

If the vanilla version has the error that you can't save the game and tells you that readlevel error functions
pointers have moved apply this patch:

Did anyone save Rapha's QL Twitch Vods? (1 comment)
Posted by mYst+ @ 22:29 CST, 17 February 2022 - iMsg
I was looking around on youtube recently and saw about a dozen or so matches were saved by someone, but those were just individual matches. And I wondered over the years if anyone in the community was prophetic enough to have maybe saved the full streams to go back and look at. There is pretty much no hope so far with wayback machine or afaik any kind of Twitch VOD recovery software\website, so perhaps maybe someone here has recovered some of the rare content.

if you have them but only want to send them personally just pm me here on esr and i'll give you my discord or an email. i realize these vods are pretty heavy in size so, if it is too much trouble don't bother.

Freestyle trickjumping on Q2DM1.

I’ve always desired to produce a compilation video of some of the best tricks on the map, there is a lot of never-before-seen tricks and variations as well.

The idea for the level design comes from “The Broken Edge” remake, which was created by DIRTY & DeAdLy[BITCH]es a long time ago. That map has then been heavily modified by ZEROSIGNAL for the purposes of this project. Combined with atmospheric music and a cinematic intro, this version of The Edge is a breath of fresh air in a game that celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Special thanks to ZEROSIGNAL and Draxi for their help and support.

Music:
PHILIP GLAS – KOYAANISQATSI

Greetings to all speedrunning communities.

UNOFFICIAL DOOM 3 1vs1 TOURNAMENT AND TEAM DEATHMATCH EVENT (2 comments)
Posted by DOOM3 Ercalidas @ 16:19 CST, 27 January 2022 - iMsg
Ladies & gentlemen, I’m proud to present you what will be the guidelines / rules for an upcoming just4fun (or eventually with a prize pool) tournament on… Doom 3!. Yes, you heard it well, Doom 3 classic multiplayer is back!. Since I started playing D3 multiplayer when it was basically already dead (in 2018 if I’m right), the interest for this game took over so I’ve decided to make a turning point. After all these years of silence, what I simply thought was "I need to do something to bring back life to this game’ so here I am!. I've already spreaded the news among the last “active” players with no very promising results BUT I'm trying to get the attention of some important old school player of D3 and now I have a collaboration with some eXg clan members that are helping me a lot with this project and they are also still active & cool players. I think that D3 multiplayer was and still is an underrated yet very exciting experience that needs to be shown to the new generation of fps players.

IMPORTANT: I've done my best to be as detailed as I can, sorry for my bad english. Maybe the rules will need some editing or fixing but as long as I’m alone I can’t do too much or cover all the essential things that a respectable tournament should have. I will be more clear if you decide to contact me. I'm open to any kind of advice or tips.

Now, enough with talking!. All you need to know is in the links below. You can contact the fool behind all this at: [email protected] or simply add me on Steam (My Friend Code is: 857460537)

One special thanks to 5M1L3Z, HavoK!, Henry Sellers, Bonehead and pointb|anK for supporting me with this idea and of course to all of you that will be seriously interested in making this tournament possibile!

Paul "astz" McGarrity passed away (36 comments)
Posted by zelvZ @ 16:37 CST, 21 January 2022 - iMsg
Dear ESR Users,

I'm really saddened to let you know that ScotlandPaul "astz" McGarrity passed away last night.

Most of us knew Paul as a true artisan and member of the UT2004 community. He was a true friend for this community and was a competitive professional player on UT2004. He also played QuakeLive in the early days of the game for team dignitas.
Paul was also a kind and funny guy to spend time with, and a great father for his 3 kids.

I had the pleasure to meet him during a LAN tournament he organised in Dundee, in 2011 (he did the full coverage of the tournament on ESR). I remember having a blast meeting for the first time UT Legends such as ScrMz, Frantic, ecko and of course Paul.

May you rest in peace UT Legend, you will be missed.

For the memories : https://youtu.be/0QAzzyPK4CU

Please be honest with me ESR. On a scale of 1 to 10, how mad are you guys that diashitical got killed off by QC? I mean ESR was shilling hard for this garbage, it was the last bastion of "classic afps" (aka clones of boring af qlive) but in the end the game you guys hate the most (QC) totally owned diabotical. Your petty cries for "abilities" didn't change a thing lol. 2017 QC is still going with all the top pros, a fun to watch pro league and a decent playerbase with fast queues. Meanwhile you cannot find a single game in 2020 dialolical LOL it is dead and it got murdered by the esr's arch-enemy = the QC rofl you guys have to be seething

czm solves subconvexity problem, related to Riemann hyp. (38 comments)
Posted by son1dow @ 18:23 CST, 13 January 2022 - iMsg
United States of America Paul 'czm' Nelson, Quake legend, CPL and QuakeCon champion has solved the subconvexity problem, a problem two steps removed from the Riemann hypothesis. The Riemann hypothesis is one of the most important unsolved problems in pure mathematics and if solved, would help us know more about prime numbers, which are important in all manner of areas including basic cryptography.

In a paper posted in September, Paul Nelson of the Institute for Advanced Study has solved the subconvexity problem, a kind of lighter-weight version of Riemann’s question. The proof is a significant achievement on its own and teases the possibility that even greater discoveries related to prime numbers may be in store.

“It’s a bit of a far-fetched dream, but you could hyper-optimistically hope that maybe we get some insight in how the [Riemann hypothesis] works by working on problems like this,” Nelson said.

He wrote two papers, one in 2020 and one in September of last year that put together solved the subconvexity problem.

PSA Stay Away From Q3Retro (Admin cheating with proof) (8 comments)
Posted by FPSRH @ 21:11 CST, 11 January 2022 - iMsg
Hello everyone,

This will be long winded and I apologize, there is a lot to cover.

I go in game by Rehab and I like to think I am an experienced 1v1 afps player. Recently I decided I wanted to get back into quake3 which turns out was a horrible decision.

I had been playing and really enjoying OA and was pointed to the q3retro community. I love q3 1v1 so it seemed like a no brainer. I first dabbled in Nov, but really started playing about Dec 30.

I joined the discord, played some 1v1's, and started to get to know people. I talked with several admins, played games with them, and helped them with 1v1 maps and settings to improve q3retro. All seemed to be going well.

This changed while I was playing against "pennywise" who was an admin and decided that I was hitting too many prediction rockets. I was banned mid game for wall hacking without anyone even seeing my pov and with no demo evidence. This raised some red flags immediately. If he had asked I record our games and provide the demo, I would have happily done so. I have since set up autorecord.

I was able to work with some other admins who realized this as a mistake and I was reinstated on Jan 3. Afterwards I continued talking with members of q3retro, playing with and helping the admins, and playing 1v1's on the retro servers with no complaints.

Fast forward to January 9th and I am playing a player named Hatred AKA Ares AKA Moster. I won the first game, and then they disconnected and reconnected immediately followed by a player who I now know was the admin ZydaneX.

This video is one of 5 games that followed, where Moster was given items he did not pick up such as weapons, health, and armor by the admin ZydaneX.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osQLfaBZJd4

In that video you can clearly see he spawned LG, went MH, RL, then immediately pillars. He is at YA at 00:10 yet some how he has a rail. This game was shared with the community and everyone determined he was definitely cheating. The rail at start was the most obvious, however not the only instance.

Despite catching Moster cheating, the admins were suspiciously silent or even defending him. It was about half way through Jan 10 after exposing Moster that I was muted in the discord and the following video was posted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6HBZCFYK7k

There had been a week long campaign involving multiple admins behind the scenes to record me playing and find any instance that looked like a wallhack, piece them together in a video with no context, and frame me for cheating.

Unable to defend myself, I had to reach out to an admin via DM to be unmuted and live stream 1v1s over discord vs both admins and Moster.

Live streaming convinced the admins, however their solution was to never bring this incident up again and I must change my name as it is now tainted by them telling everyone I was a cheater for the past week. I was unable to do that as I still had to respond to the video, and I was obviously a little upset.

In the response to the "wallhack" video, almost every shot is very standard and taken out of context as short clips instead of full games. The only thing to point out is the foot step heard at 3:04 as it does not play for the initial clip leading me to believe the footage was also possibly doctored. This is the worst attempt at "proof" I have ever seen, and is simply character assassination.

At the end of this the admin ZydaneX had admitted to helping Moster cheat as he finds q3 boring and enjoys cheating more than catching cheaters. Moster also admitted to cheating. Neither received any backlash from the other admins. I ended up being banned from the discord for continuing to talk about it with interested parties.

Here are the screenshots of the admin admitting his wrong doings that ultimately got me banned on Jan 11:
https://imgur.com/a/76KlQyS

Here are some taken later in the day of Jan 11 of k3lg3r the q3retro owner defending zyd's actions:
https://imgur.com/a/mVgkaF9

I had been active in the community for less than two weeks, caught a cheater who was let go, exposed an admin who was cheating, was frame for cheating, cleared my name, and got banned from the discord for posting further evidence of actual cheating.

The administrators help players cheat, cheaters are protected, and as a new player to the group I was framed for cheating and removed instead. 1/10, do not recommend q3retro. Has good duel maps though.

CS:GO: My Crosshair Guide (1 comment)
Posted by @ 18:34 CST, 2 January 2022 - iMsg
This guide is geared toward analyzing the components of a CS:GO crosshair, based on what some of the pros use.

Take for example, the shape of an average crosshair. Usually, you'll see 4 ends pointing outward and inward at the same time, in the shape of a T. But have you ever wondered why the t shape is so commonly used over another shape, such as a circle?

For starters, all 4 ends of the crosshair, as I mentioned before, seem to be pointing inward, thereby gravitating your attention towards the center (it's also why you might see a small gap in the middle of the crosshair). This in turn, helps you focus on centering your shots, such as a headshot.

My guess is that our minds seem to pay more attention to patterns or consistency (such as the ends pointing inward toward one direction) rather than something a bit more random (such as the same ends also pointing outward in 4 different directions). Nevertheless, this crosshair also provides a boundary of some sort by covering all directions (left right up down) given it's natural shape (or t).

There's nothing wrong with a dot crosshair though; in fact it probably provides the highest degree of parallelism with respect to your opponent's head, given it's natural shape. My main concern however (as I used to use one) is visibility and direction, meaning the dot is just there, but it does not "guide you or shift your focus toward the center, like a t-shape crosshair would. Least, that's the way I see it.

Nevertheless, I respect personal preferences, and this is just a small snippet of some of the crosshair features to look for or think about.

Full article (I wrote) can be found here: Top CS:GO Crosshairs (imo)

Lastly, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to share them. Thanks.

Halo Infinite (9 comments)
Posted by Rav3n @ 03:11 CST, 19 December 2021 - iMsg
Hey, what do you guys think about this game? Honestly? I know that it can be controversial to post it here but I will try.

For me it's different game than afps but I think it's not that bad, I disliked it with first try but decided to give it a shot. First time playing Halo game. Not sure if I will able to play it any longer... But here is my opinion:

Ok:
- game runs pretty ok
- quite chill
- CTF
- it's not that easy to kill someone
- pickups
- powerups
- grapple hook
- visuals
- it's not another BR so you can shoot things
- team play

The stuff I dislike:
- a little bit slow, spartan feels heavy
- weapons are meh
- fragging could be more satisfying
- melee combat is stupid
- similar with grenades but less annoying
- hit reg feels kinda broken
- oddball game mode
- auto regen shields
- you can carry 2 weapons max
- designed for consoles

There are not so many fps games to play right now that are not BR or like Val / CS sooo...

2GD partially fulfilled the promise (4 comments)
Posted by wwwAnyBoy @ 01:49 CST, 13 December 2021 - iMsg
I can't test the tournament system, but let me remind you.

Very elite option # 1: filter of tournament participants by rating
Very elite option # 2: the round robin system of the tournament, with the number of laps. and bo1-bo-7

Once again I see the same error. Lack of these 2 options. The feeling that someone has deliberately excluded them.

If you do not understand why these 2 options are

#1- For quality games.

Forget the lack of players and don't think like a businessman. For advanced players, the Rating Filter is just needed and that's it. (as an option, of course). Only fools play without a rating filter. System can collect Players with necessary ratings, because 1-2 weeks is enough for this(start date of tournament).

#2- In order to compensate for the small number of players in the tournament. There are fewer players, we play a little more games. This is the reality. For example 4 teams, 3 teams.

I'm not even talking about the fact that SE and DE are not fair. Most of the chess tournaments are played in a round robin system. SE and DE are needed to pay less for rent on LAN and if there are a lot of players. We don't need to pay rent, so give us the round robin option.



I hope in the future regular / common players will be able to see the list of unofficial tournaments on the main page. No mandatory distribution of keys. I'm too lazy to send them out.

Reminder about Tournament System with more details.

Hi all,
I havent made a movie in some 10 years but this year's DFWC was so fantastic I put together some memorable moments and runs.




A few notes:

-This movie is meant as a celebration of the event and a tribute to the brilliant work of the organisers, mappers, streamers, donators and of course the runners. My respect and thank you to everyone involved, it was an amazing event.

-I focused on top20 runs and I tried to offer a large variety of runners, a healthy balance of vq3 and cpm. There was twice as much material as I could use so I had to make some hard choices, if you are a top20 runner and you did not make it into the movie I hope you understand.

-No Top1 runs. It is an unspoken tradition that movie makers much more skilled than myself eternalise the DFWC with a top1 runs movie. I did not use any of the top1 material for this reason.

Hope you liked our Quake Live tournament on November 2021? Coz we did! And that's why The Frags invites you all to another Quake Live 1v1 cup! Prize pool will be the same, 60,000 RUR (around $850).

Happy New Frags!! will be played on 09:00 CST, 26 December 2025! But this time we've got one special condition. Latecomers won't be waited longer than 15 minutes, so we recommend you not to try playing two tournaments at the same time, like in November. This is a special requirement from the main sponsor of the event.


DON'T FORGET YOU HAVE TO CHECK IN! CHECK IN STARTS ONE HOUR BEFORE THE CUP!


Anyone is free to participate or stream the cup, no restrictions. Contact cooke#9864 in Discord to ask any questions or make any suggestions.

Original Movie Files (2 comments)
Posted by @ 03:25 CDT, 26 September 2021 - iMsg
I am searching for original files of Gamemovies. I am currently uploading all Videos i found on an old hard drive to Youtube and providing the Download per Google Drive (I guess this will stay online longer than those old mirrors we used on Planet Videos).

Do any of you still have originals? .avi .wmv .mp4 etc. , for good Quality (YouTube Compression is still horrible) and most important: readme - files.

If you do, would you share them with me? Easiest would be packing it all into a .zip and uploading them to mega.nz, I guess : )

Alternatively, do any of you know a Website that is still up and running with downloadable movie files?
own-age and planet-videos sadly ceased to exist.

Hot Damn! is a Quake Live movie performed and edited by me.
Frags are mostly from CTF, a bit from Duel and FFA.

I recommend downloading and watching the original video if you can because the audio balance between music and ingame sound sounds different a bit from youtube's.

4K resolution is available on youtube, but it is just upscaled from 1080p to 4k for getting higher bitrate on youtube.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Hints at new Quake title (80 comments)
Posted by MaJunior @ 11:21 CDT, 19 August 2021 - iMsg
There's (more than) rumors circulating of a future Quake title being prepared by Bethesda.

First, XboxEra found a slot in the QuakeCon 2021 Friday schedule labeled 'Let's talk Quake" where apparently Digital Foundry would be discussing with Machine Games about the later's contribution to a 'revitalized' version.

Then we have a new entry on ESRB's (Entertainment Software Rating Board - the organization that rates games) list containing a new Quake game. Apparently, the game has been rated 'Mature' and is expected to appear on PC, Xbox, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

This exciting news come just as QuakeCon 2021 is beginning so be sure to keep an eye out for any additional information being released over the weekend.

Stealth update awesomeness, peak QC (3 comments)
Posted by Lam @ 06:19 CDT, 29 July 2021 - iMsg
- QC got updated yesterday (not the usual Thursday)

- BNL didn't say what it was updating for, there's no official announcement at quake.com or twitter.com/quake, so the only announcement was made by some guy on Reddit (link)

- I managed to play a single game before it crashed

- wrote a nice crash report (turret exploded over my dead body, maybe it had something to do with the crash)

- the crash dump reporter failed to send crash data to Bethesda, but helpfully suggested reporting it through help.bethesda.net

- help.bethesda.net doesn't work, spitting out API errors

- managed to get around it by logging in to bethesda.net first, but then trying to report an issue it gets stuck on empty "select a product page" (even though you had to select one before even getting a "submit ticket" button)

I just want to say, this is peak QC. Thing updates with no announcement, starts crashing immediately, then you're sent on a path of broken websites which leads to nothing :) (Broken websites are the standard there, stats.quake.com anyone? Smoliczech saved the day on that front, now we need a t0st for actual client too ;))

Windows is retarded and won't update; any fixes? (59 comments)
Posted by nex1 @ 15:05 CDT, 27 July 2021 - iMsg
Like apparently many other people, i got the infamous "update to windows 20H2 is ready" stuck update issue.

Windows update downloades the update to the "new" version, but fails to install it. Every time i restart or turn the pc on, it re-downloads it and pesters me with notifications to install it. But it always fails.

I've searched online and apparently it's an extremely common issues that's now months old. Which is ridicolous that it hasn't been fixed so far, and apparently won't ever.

Anyway there are about millions of different suggestions and approaches in how to fix it.

Everyone and their mothers seems to have a different suggestion, from the obviously basic can't-work ones like "try again" to stuff like deleting update folders and modifiy system lines.

Apparently microsoft even developed a specific tool to install that particular update that is downloadable from their official site.

And OF fucking COURSE it doesn't work. But it sure takes half an hour to tell you so.

Even launching the system repair tool doesn't work. But it will tell you so only after going trough the entire process.

The "simplest" solution seems to be the classic hard formatting of the whole pc, but like most people i have several hundreds gigabytes of programs and games installed on top of the usual personal folders, so reinstalling everything would take one whole day or more and i'd rather shoot myself in the testicles.

Do you have any suggestions in how to fix this mess without formatting everything?


Edit:

Update: i flashed the bios to the latest version and that did the trick, for anyone else that might have the same issue.

I say might because i didn't change anything else and suddenly it accepted any update.

It shouldn't make sense, but here we are.

Now it's all fine, but it's been a gigantic pain in the ass

Thanks to everyone that suggested something, hope this'll help someone else.

Having wondered what an African themed frag video might look like for a long time, I decided to put together some frags into a video as a side project during lock-down last year. Although, I didn't have enough content to finish it until now.

"From Africa" is a collection of frags by myself (South Africa manic) in various modes in public games, in South Africa and South East Asia.

Enjoy :)

Quake Champions - Athena CTF? or Wait for Quake Reboot? (7 comments)
Posted by dynodeath @ 07:28 CDT, 19 July 2021 - iMsg
QC CTF, with something like, Athena CTF would be appealing imho. With unlimited grapples, PQL movement, and 4 runes. Quake 1 was a major hit, with CTF being the most popular format, in the US and Europe. Quake 2 people loved the grapple there too. They would have loved Quake 1 more, as the Quake 2 Rocket Launcher was too slow, and the new railgun 100 dmg was a game breaker imho. and the grapple not as good.

Grapple was a great tool for n00bs, who had limited movement experience, who could hop on, grapple around and have a bit of fun. Then grapple to a weapon, and eventually be able to contribute to the game.

QC CTF, choice of Slash, is just quake 4 and it wasn't success in CTF.

My QuakeLive graphics settings, seem sluggish and not very clear. Has anyone got any good settings that they can suggest? I prefer not a complete .cfg of random seta values. Would appreciate any help, to make it clear vision and performance help.

Thx

Make, something like a Quake Battle Royal (34 comments)
Posted by dynodeath @ 10:00 CDT, 14 July 2021 - iMsg
Quake Endgame - Battle Royal

A Battle Royal with TDM, Duel, CTF, Attack and Defend all in one game, all from all Idsoftware Titles. Brining all quake communities together. (Big plus)

Taking the best parts from Quake, Doom, Enemy Territory Quake Wars, Rage.

Create a Battle Royal, like Warzone with Doom's excellent open maps, integrated with maps across the quake series, items to pick up, PQL physics, Grapple, Vehicles from Rage, Crossbow from Rage, ET Advanced vehicles, challenges mid map, teleports, jump pads, deployment in air, vamp damage health reclaim, powerups, Circle closing with zombies in the gas etc.

Something to compete with the trash battle royals like Fortnight and Warzone (Which actually looks quite good, apart from the cheaters, and its all hitscan spam.)

Enemy Territory nearly made it, Rage was great fun, the vehicles are far superior to Fortnight and Warzones.

I'd say this would be much fun with Dooms incredible landscapes and textures. (Also make a thin graphics client, for lower spec PC's and Consoles like xBox, and ensure it is for all ages not restricted to over 18's) More money it makes the better the community.

Integrating Attack and defend into the map could be interesting for cash to spend on perks. Integrating capture the flag on the map, would also be interesting for players not to sit in one location, but give options for cash rewards if they managed to cap.

Idsoftware series has great experience why not bundle the best features.

Syncerror perhaps has too much on his plate, but integrating all of the best features from each idsofware title, can only be a good thing, with Doom's brilliant open maps?

(The gulag in warzone was taken from quake 1 arena where u could spec the players, from a balcony, watching down in a queue, on the players doing a 1v1 single round elimination, winner stays on)

New Champions (No comments)
Posted by dynodeath @ 23:46 CDT, 13 July 2021 - iMsg
I suggest years ago about showing cheats to players, and they have implemented that into QC with Visor wallhack, which is pretty cool option for a limited time.

I refer back to the quake 1 CTF creeper runes (do search), where they had runes which gave users different abilities.

Vampiric rune was one, which would be good, especially against an out timed player, and over stacked NME. The Vampire can gain 70% odd (% can be set in line for fairness) health back, in combat for a certain period of time. This could be a game changer to gain back control of a fully stacked Clutch, sorlag, keel or other Players fully stacked.

Monk Character, when standing still for certain period of time takes no damage when activated.

Witch rune which was a counter to the Monk and made the Monk Character twitch and then was vulnerable to damage. Also cast a spell on other players, I think it was twitching too.

I think there were 18 runes, and might be good source for new Champion ideas.

Cheater - QuakeLive PQL player MAGA exposed or not? (95 comments)
Posted by dynodeath @ 11:37 CDT, 12 July 2021 - iMsg
What do you think?

This player has been accused of cheating. He continues to say he is clean. However he is banned from one server, for Wallhacking and Aimboting hacks allegations.

At 1x speed, can seem normal, to a certain extent. But slowed down to 0.25x speed can be clearly visible. Understanding that these Aimbots & Wallhacks can be activated on and off, through out battles, by pressing a key, which makes it harder to spot, and said to be a coincidence!

Make your own mind up, after reviewing the thread. Opinions welcome. Cheat or not?



The demos were recorded from spec prior to the player being called out. He did submit demos afterwards to prove innocence. However at slowmo speeds there are odd moments. So you see the dilemma, it's about judgement calls, as VAC doesn't work. Reporting a player without idsoftware input or VAC analysis, then that possibly shouldn't be done. However if the cheats are pretty clear as many of them are, then report. A cheat is a cheat in my opinion, its working out if they are cheating or not, and currently it seems that too many people are getting away with i t with advancements in humanised features, and on and off options.

In some of these clips and occasions it is better to watch at 0.25 speed. Looking through floors, walls, and shooting plasma at players into walls they are behind (6plus rocket to bridge) etc.








On a side note, linked to some weaker cheats, I said b4 that some cheats should be taken away, by making the available to all. Like timed items, and Syncerror made abilities in QC etc visor wallhack, item timers visible and QC seems to work quite nicely with these.

Cheat or Not?

QuakeLive PQL Vamp CA, is a great MOD to play.

Antonio_by (12 comments)
Posted by stpbozin @ 11:27 CDT, 25 June 2021 - iMsg
Hello, i got this nostalgic and writing mood. Thats means i'd like to write a story from the past. My memory isnt perfect i barrely remember any names of people or for example it took me 20 years to memorize when is my birthday. But some sittuations getting stuck in my head and i am unsucsessfuly tying to figure out what the fuck it was.

Sorry, it's not a cheating case or something... This happens long time ago. It was last clanbase nations cup or something. And we got belarusian team, we barrely manage to get four players but this is another story. This story mostly about antonio_by.
So, we played a practice match and after the game i start critisizing how antonio_by played. Not the whole match but one particular move he made during the game. He stole my megahealth and its ruined a game a bit.

I can play super efficient without much of resources, support player basicly. I can do damage with machine gun, i like machine gun. So before our practice match we were discussing possitions.
So, i said that my basic possition is on mega, but i will be helping to everyone who in needs. Needs help on rail, i will help you, need support on red armor i will come. Yea, and antonio's possition was on red armor.
On one hand antonio's aim isnt great and its sounds like a mistake to put a player with bad aim on a posstion like ra, where main source of damage output is lg. But we were scared that on other possitions he will be feeding so many frags that team would not be able to compensate.
He had like lowest elo rating, and overall had less expirience and worst aim and everyting worst. Our team dosnt actualy had tdm players exept me, clawz from clanarena, other guy from duels, and antonio himself also from duel and just recently start playing tdm.
So yea, his posstion was on ra, take every ra, take every lg, take every enemy that come, easy task.
And my possition on mega. My resourses was plasma gun, armor shards, shootgun on quad and mega. So team focus was on battle suit, but my task was to steal quad or deal maximum damage to enemy quad. And to complete this task i was obviously needed all this shards and megas.
Thats my strat, its working. I tested it on pickup. It was working great. I was even able to get shaft and rail for myself. Yea, but there was one confusing suttuation. At some point of the game, right before quad, my mega were stolen by my teammate and i'm failed to get quad due my low hp.
Realy unfortunate, but i dont blame my random teammate from pickup. He didnt know the strat, so he did what he did. I guess, if he knew that this is possition of his teammate, he wouldnt stole an important item from his teammate right before quad, right? i am right?

When we were discussing posstions with our team, i'm actualy did accent on my posstion. I said to antoion_by that its realy important for me to have this mega because its only source of health for me. And it was looking like he understood. Ah, yea forgot to say, that the guy who stole my mega in pickup game was antonio_by. So yea, that why i was trying to make sure that antonio undestand where is my posstion on the map. You maybe already undstand what gonna happens later?
Exactly, he did it again in a same way as he did it on pickup. Only difference that this time he was super stacked. In pickup game he had little bit of armor when he were stealing my mega. By this time he had 200 armor, he took my mega and became 200/200 guy. Ok great, with such stack he could go to power up and sucsessufly defend it. Yea, but unfortunatly he went back to his possition on ra. Like what else you could do with 200/200 stack? wait for next ra without scare being killed...
So yea, this rediculous move he made, two times. I dont know why and i had will to figure it out. So i start talking about this sittuation to him. But instead of giving me some logical explanation he start convicing me that i am also doing tons of mistakes that possibly ruing game. And he offered me a demo review with a team. I agreed, its nothing wrong with reviewing demo, its a realy good thing. And i hoped that we get to that moment when he stealing my mega and he will see how bad his move is. But, since its antonio_by we got stuck on first second of my demo. At this map i was spawned near railgun. So i obviously jumped on rail and picked it up, but there was two enemys with machineguns and both were shooting at me. So i tryed to escape from enemys. There was tiny chance that they will land little bit less of bullets on my ass and i will manage to survive. But it didnt happens, they killed me. But i didnt drop rail, so its sound like i did best i can, right?
Well, the reason why we stuck on a first seconds of the game is because antonio_by was trying to convince me that its a huge mistake. That this is basicly braindead 1200elo gameplay, trying to run away in this sittuation. Well, antonio_by said that its super obvious that enemys will kill you there, so you have to switch to gauntlet and try to kill these TWO enemys instead of running away. I was trying to explain to him thats its pointless. Its not impossible to kill both for sure. Like maximum you can do is to deal 50hp damage to each enemy, but its pointless, its a fresh map where is all the health bubbles availilble. He wont listen, and he even got clawz on his side, which is also ridiculous. And together they start telling me that this is most idiotic mistake that even possible to make.
I obvliously call antonio_by an idiot couple of times(becouse he is obviously idiot) and he warrned me that if i will continue talking this way he will get in his car, drive to my home and kick my ass... Just imagine this level of critinizm...
Obviously at this point everything was over. I wont play with such people, i wont to be connected to it in any way. So rest of the matches i was running around shooting machinegun, puttin zero effort in it.

All i wanted from the team is to stick to the plan. Maybe antonio feel like he is getting bullied and it was his way of defence, i don't know, realy. But definitely only thing i tried to to do is to make us win. I even tryed to get sponsor for our team. You know, for like motivation. Motivate the team to play better and do less bullshit.
Our local gaming store had this form on its website, basically they were looking for a team to sponsor. They decline my application... but anyway its a horrible place.
Old miceses out of stock, new is not availible yet and only miceses you can buy from them is the miceses that you can buy from other stores any day for cheaper price.

So yea, i was realy shocked by this sittuation and i still do not undestand what it was. What sort of result they were expecting to get, what profit they were looking for? I dont even have any proper guess what they were trying to do. Like, get rid of me, get tech lose and then blame me for ruined apportunity? I dont know, it's just super weird, completely unexplainable for me.
