PQ Single Player Level Pack/Mod

[R0B]

I was thinking like 10 or 12 levels, but there would be bout 3 level packs, plus one pack with the gui and stuff.

Hey, sounds good to me. Like I said, I'll pitch in where I can. I've been looking over the stuff at inside3d.com, and I've got to say that it looks pretty simple overall. I can't wait.

Zerstorer is awesome -- I think anyone who is thinking of making a mod for quake should play zer first.. The quakity of it is amazing, everything is well thought-out and the cut-scenes are spectacular, especially the first one <br>The surprise I had the first time I saw that... wow!

[Diego Cueva]

10 maps? uhmmm.. If each map is about 800kb, that will be about 8mb of maps, plus sounds and GUI! Thats a little too much for those without CF cards

[Diego Cueva]

...and who is Zerstorer?

[TBone]

Zerstorer is kind of the God of Mods for Quake. It took the Quake gothic atmosphere, before that was worn away to a nasty pallid growth on the industry, and made it creepier. I went and grabbed it a few days ago just to check it out, and it's very impressive.

[Diego Cueva]

Did he make any PQ highly optimizided maps like me, Randall and other guys do?<br><br>NO<br><br>so, bah

[TBone]

That's the spirit, Diego.

[R0B]

Memory problems, bah.  Can't you people just divide your mem by 0 like everyone else.  But seriously, that's why I was going to break it up into 3 level packs, and then a gui pak.  There is no need to have the 2 hidden levels (just a preview of one of my certain plans), when you haven't yet beat the game on agent, now is there?  Also, I think I'll look at this in asm soon, but can the gzip routine be optimized at all for speed?  Just a question.

I thought I remembered Dan saying that pq 0.07 would have 100x faster Gzip support...<br><br>That was a while ago though

[R0B]

That's cool.  I'll write to hime to see if he can send me the source for that, and I'll include it in the 720 version right now.

[TBone]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how the other versions have worked in the past? For example, my monochrome source is 100% compatible with the color iPAQ source as long as you change a define. Does Dan usually handle that, or should I do the compile and send it to him when the new source is released?

Thomas, have you run Zerstorer on your PPC/HPC?  I'm wondering if I can run it on my 720...

[TBone]

I ran it on my laptop. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't run on the PPC though, if you've got the room. It's pretty hefty.<br><br>I freed up some space on my card by getting rid of the last two episodes of Quake the other night. Maybe I'll give it a shot later. It's frickin' hard with the mouse, though, I don't think I'd like it much with just the stylus.

[Anthrax]

I have room for the pak and other files, I just need to find a way to launch the mod.  Does anyone have a utility for writing HPC 2000 Pro shortcuts? (I need a shortcut to execute the command line to launch quake, set the heap size and set "-game zer" )  I opened up (in PocketWord) esw's shortcut for his SP map for clues, but it's not a text file.
