mods

ive never been much into quake (until now), ive messed with half-life/quake2 and the mods with those games are compiled specifically for each platform. does quake1 mods work the same way? ive heard of quake-c...is it some what like java in that it is isnt compiled to the platform's native language?

[Paul]

quake c is the language used to control just about everything in quake. it can be used to alter weapons, monsters and powerups.

you write a few .c files then compile them into a progs.dat file that you may have seen in the pak file.

see planetquake.com or search on google.

does that mean any mod already released will work for pq?

[Paul]

yep, the only reason we only list certain mods on the pq site is that some other mods need a lot of processing power and the ones we have listed dont so they're a little better on pocket pcs.

thats awesome. last time i checked tho, the links to the files are dead. are there any bots that run well?

[Paul]

they should work - its all that server mess thats been going on.

reaperbot and frikbot(i think) run well...

[colganc]

how good are those bots? are they nething like CRBots for quake2?

[RwGast]

Reaper is awesome i think its better than CRBot if you ask me. Yep CRBot was my first bot i think its ai is a little on the dumb side but it is simple. If your also interested i have been trying to ger the Framek bot or something of that sort ported to pq2 i got the code working but pq2 seams to have some issues with it there are a few more tricks i wanna try to get it working i have just been very busy lately so much so i havent even had time for my own q3 mod.

[colganc]

that would be sweet. i don't have pq2 yet. my 256 meg cf card is full so when i free space...

[colganc]

how much is the frame rate effected with bots?

[RwGast]

In pq1 it is quite fast if u use like 1 or 2 bots i notice a real slowdown at 6 bots. As for pq2 no one knows since they wont freakin work right.
