Why the hell should it be bad when pro players themselves has been apart of the whole process , aswell as iD knowing that this will the MOST critical patch !

with the 1.3 its a faster game then quake3 , and the weapon balance should be probably better then quake3 aswell(rail not as dominant with faster rockets) .

By

voodoochopstiks ' - Reply to #21

they turn up the movement acceleration, and as far as I have heard the rocket speed has not been turned up as much as the acceleration. This probably leads to even more railgun domination if I get to guess.

<< Comment #73 @ 11:32 CDT, 31 July 2006 >>

By

berth +| - Reply to #51

don't think so.
with faster acceleration + faster rockets + more knockback (iirc) it should become easier to get into a rail-abuser's face and bumb him all over the place.

<< Comment #114 @ 11:44 CDT, 31 July 2006 >>

By

Exactly and faster acceleration makes it less easy to consistantly rail a dodging player.

<< Comment #123 @ 11:47 CDT, 31 July 2006 >>

By

X-term - Reply to #114

Rail will still be as dominant as ever, just like it was in q3.........The only proper solution would be a delay on rail kinda like the rl has/had in q4

<< Comment #197 @ 12:11 CDT, 31 July 2006 >>

You would need tighter friction to accompany it for quick dodging, sadly...but they might have cranked that up, too. :) *hopeful*

If you were playing q4base, that is.

At least one of the performance boosts in 1.3 is already present in q4max 0.75 (and I'm not referring to the ambient lighting, which is another source of these extra fps).

i'm pretty sure that the pro players who bootcamp and practice 24 hours/day *SHOULD* be able to adjust to this relatively fast considering they play as much in a few days that normal players play over a month or more... but, alas, i realize that 1.2 will be used for qcon. it just would be cool if qcon used 1.3 to show how it plays in a big competition.

All QuakeCon 2006 Quake 4 tournaments will be using the 1.2 Point Release due to the limited amount of time available for players to adjust to the new gameplay changes, however, all BYOC servers will be running the 1.3 Point Release, so it is suggested that everyone patch to 1.3 except for those who may wish to keep a separate 1.2 copy for use of practicing prior and during the tournament.

uh...thanks for stating the obvious, genius. as if i hadn't already read that, which is why i said "alas, i realize that 1.2 will be used at qcon." it seems i need to spell it out for you...i know that qcon will be using 1.2 for the tournament - their reason being that players won't have enough time to adjust - however, i feel that for a pro player who bootcamps and practices all day long there is plenty of time to adjust. please don't reply with some dumbass copy and paste stating something obvious again. thanks.

actualy im maybe gonna say something you "already read" but even a pro who bootcamp all day long bla bla like you say cannot practice it for the only reason that q4max isn't even made for the 1.3 patch, and as the q4max team say they're gonna try to get it for the quakecon, like only 1 or 2 days before. thats the reason quakecon can't force the 1.3 patch for the tournaments.

Fixes & Updates in 1.3:

* Multiplayer weapon damage and movement values have been adjusted.
* The player will now respawn based on his/her last combatant's location.
* Shotgun hit sounds will no longer drop.
* The game no longer has to be relaunched to access more than 4 netdemos.
* The wrong icon will no longer appear for certain clients after a team shuffle.
* Spawn auto-complete in the RCON window will no longer crash.
* Voting for Team DM and certain maps will no longer load the wrong map.
* The Apply Changes button in the Options menu has been removed.
* A crash will no longer occur in Tourney if a finalist disconnects.
* A player's name will no longer change to that of the player in the demo if a NetDemo is played.
* Time Limit Hit will no longer be displayed in the wrong circumstances.

OMG!!! I sure hope there 90% of their fixes are'nt listed. This is sure death for Q4?

Will 1.2 mods work with Q4 1.3? Or do the mods need to be changed again for compatibility?

"Multiplayer weapon damage and movement values have been adjusted. "

How about some insight into that? Because that doesn't tell me anything..

It was discussed in the other thread.

Here is the list from what I can gather:

Faster jumping acceleration, further crouch sliding, smaller hitboxes
Machine Gun: No change
Shotgun: More fixed spread
Hyperblaster: Projectiles fire and travel faster
Grenades: No change.
Rockets: Travel faster, more knockback, smaller rockets
Railgun: No change
Lightning Gun: Less knockback/stick

I probably missed some stuff out though ;)

edit: never mind they're posted officially now :))

Nail-Gun sounds imba to me, no rail changes either which was the main concern of all involved although the other weapons might bring the rail more into balance in it's current state....

The quicker movement itself nerfs the railgun. Strafing from side to side is much quicker and harder to hit now.

I like quake 4 as much as the next guy, and I'm very excited about the patch, but this just seems like it is in vain. The last major tournament for q4 is probably going to be Quakecon, and after that Quake 4 will probably not be played too much anymore. There might be one or two more events, but I feel with the CPLs move to Quake 3, the life of Quake 4 is limited. Furthermore, most of these changes I feel are redundant and have already been accompished by the mod teams. I'm not saying this patch isn't good for Quake 4, because it definately is, but it is just too little, and FAR too late.

regardless, Q3's life is limited too, as it simply is old now. People really shoudl move to Q4 for this patch, as it has given them what they have asked for. The community map makers just have to produce some decent efforts, and then the infrastructure is there.

taken from an older thread -

"or go on start -> cmd-> and type: d:Quake4_update_1.1-1.2.exe -a and it will ask you where to install (thx drach)"

of course you'll have to replace the filename and location.

Which in turn was taken from Q1, since CS uses the Q1 engine (with some Q2 graphical features), including the Q1 console. You will notice that almost all Q1 console commands also work in HL/CS. So they are ripping it off their own game series, if anything.

mhm acceleration is kinda too fast i think in 1.3,
on normal maps okay but tested retrophobolis ot sth. like this and if you jump to the mega and make a "good" strafe jump you jump above the pad on the middle of the way but it isn't possible to jump over to the mega with one jump

speedz - Reply to #518

I absolutely must agree. Q3 seems really slow compared to this. If you master crouchsliding really well it is like flying all over the map.
Air control has increased as well.

The overall feel is just the same (you'll quick get used to it) just that it is faster and (for me) a lot smoother.

Even without ambientlight I get absolutely stable 60FPS standing at the GL on q4dm7 (edge). I got 40FPS before there. Performancewise it enhanced my quake more than the (great) q4max improvements did.

OMG flying around those new map "firewall" was just crazy!!!

Also they did change sounds for the better. RL doesn't blow your brain out anymore and mg is much less anyoing as well. Footsteps are cooler now.

Unfortunately I really can't tell you poor Win32 users without OpenAL Cards, if they have improved the broken sound. It was fine for me from the first q4 release (linux). I hope they fixed it...

Ah lets go fly around a little bit more :-)

the game seems more responsive now. I like the weapon adjustments, can go higher with an rj now. the hb seems mroe effective now. The sg spread still sucks because it's random. The best thing is the movement, which is genuinely improved from the increased acceleration. The napalm gun is a bit of a joke.

They actually created one notable bit of nice aesthetic in one of the maps. The map is a big arena, and has quad high int he sky, and ya below it across the lower jumpads. In this map, there is a mh underground, this is the area which looks nice and quakey. Dark, and red and atmospheric. Mappers should incorporated this sort of look into their work, using colour variants too.

you will not be able to use q4max if you upgrade.
If you just want to try it out I would strongly recommend you to make a complete copy of your installation, as you don't know when updated mods will ship.
This way you will easily be able to move back to 1.2 for your daily q4 dose (at least thats what I am doing.)

It seems to me like there is an increase in q4 popularity. I bought it the day of release and played a few times during the week tops - 6 months ago, I was having trouble finding ctf pubs even - as of late I always see a good ctf server thats populated with skilled players.

Thats about how i feel too.

doesnt "feel" right.. is all i can say. Models move with funny animation and are so out of place somehow.

Also if you press forward while crouching.. the crosshair moves down a bit and you actually aim a little lower, while in q3 you could either remove the "moving screen while walking" or just get used to it and ignore it becouse you weren't really aiming where the crosshair pointed. So its really impossible to crouch, move and aim very precicely (it moves too while walking but not as much).

A lot of great stuff here. g_forceambient is nice, and love the speed and most of the gameplaychanges. The only complaint I have about this new content so far, is that the SG seem to nerfed a bit too much. I'd rather that it was more nonrandom.

Sync, just noticed with the sound that if you hold fire in on the shotgun, the sound of every second shot is cut a bit short. And this is actually only when using OpenAL for once.

hmm i have mixed feelings about this. the speed and other gameplay changes are really nice but it's nothing that GTR didn't do quite a while back. i know its a big difference when they're made default but i kinda expected more from this patch for all the time taken, especially in the sound and netcode departments which seem to have been neglected. the game seems smoother than before. weapons are much more responsive than they were earlier but since i've been playing a lot of Q3 in the past weeks, i still find the 60 fps cap really annoying.

napalm gun pwns and the RL is much better now :D

there is a sound problem when holding fire on the ng when you have the quad, it kind of stops in a regular way every few shots

all in all though, the patch is excellent. Much faster game now, overall seems much faster than q3 when you can utilise the movement well.

Everyone should take up Q4 now, no real excuses. It's become a good quake game. Give it some nurturing now in terms of maps, and players migrating over if they are able to give things a second chance.

I just want to say that Ritualistic(the ones responsible for the new maps, right) are fucking idiots. The patch speeds up the game and they spit out a bunch of tiny, cramped maps, because god forbid you get to strafe-jump more than three times.

Otherwise the game is fast when strafejumping, but that speed makes the game feel very heavy(for me) when walking or dodging. And there's another thing - you still find yourself in situations, jumping from x to y, where you think you've just landed the jump and then you fall straight down. Really annoying, especially if you're used to the q3 jumping where you think you'd fall down, yet you make the jump. I'm not saying "make it like q3", but please do something about it.

I like the napalm gun.

Tchouky - Reply to #642

this is due to how q4 handles the step ups (terribly in my opinion).
when the game was released it handled them sooo badly that they were only allowed when you were walking, which prevented you to strafe on stairs....

so they made a quick fix allowing you to step up while in the air, but only if you re close to the ground.

in quake3 step ups are allowed (pretty much) all the time.

this is what makes (made) bridge 2 rail on q4dm9 (dm6) impossible .
If you miss your jump by one unit, you re screwed, whereas in q3 you can still make it.

This is what i dislike the most about q4, this little change would make the game feel alot smoother.
Movements should make you feel 'free' like they do in q3, whereas in q4 you have to struggle to control your character.

btw, that little change takes less than one single line of code, and it was added in GTR gtx physics.

anyway, i would really like id to fix that.

Ok, now I can just take the "fucking" out of there, but they're still idiots. Maps are still waaaaay cramped, and there aren't any open spaces. Another thing - do you notice how because of the bigger models(or what was it) everything looks small. I mean dm6 is a huge map in q3 and in q4 it's a midget.

The patch speeds up the game and they spit out a bunch of tiny, cramped maps, because god forbid you get to strafe-jump more than three times.

Even though, as Bandit says, id changed the player speed after those maps were created, I still think those maps are way too cramped and small even for Q4 1.2. Most Q4 maps feel like rat-runs, and it's mostly because the engine has such poor performance that mappers are forced to keep visibility low and rooms well divided with teleporters and right angled passageways :/

Otherwise the game is fast when strafejumping, but that speed makes the game feel very heavy(for me) when walking or dodging. And there's another thing - you still find yourself in situations, jumping from x to y, where you think you've just landed the jump and then you fall straight down. Really annoying, especially if you're used to the q3 jumping where you think you'd fall down, yet you make the jump.

This is what really puts me off about Q4.
I absolutely hate the acceleration on gravity (if that's the right term),
just as you think you've made the jump you seem to stop midair and drop straight down, feels terrible :(

Feels like rather than it being a smoothish curve as gravity kicks in
(for a circle strafe jump or running jump), instead it's like a spike at of gravity that kicks in late, stopping the player in his tracks.

Even though the gameplay changes are much appreciated, it doesn't seem they really worked on the game. Editing the values for that stuff takes a few minutes (and are probably just taken from GTR).
What about the things that take time? Hitbox? Sound? GTV? Fps cap? Netcode? Anything new about the time consuming shit demanded since day 1? Guess not. :/

The new game types and the weapon are obviously done by the third party ("first half of the patch"). Rest looks like they (id) started indeed with the "second half" after the first was done (and waited all the time). Otherwise we would see way more fixes.

well that's good, isn't it? it has already been done and tested so why should they go with other stuff just to be able to tell it's their own?
and IIRC syncerror was part of the testing of those values (at least).

but as most of you might not notice is that those changes are primarely for baseq4 which is great that the otto-normaluser won't have a shock when it comes to competitive mods and of course q4max would've never made the changes hence most players would've been stuck with the slow thingie.

(haven't played it yet tho but i'm pretty sure i'll love it)

about the other fixes the only fix required (in my point of view) is the stucking sound on galang :> of course gtv would've been nice but oh well, i think someone else will come up with it sooner or later

of course its very good. i already posted somewhere else that its great to have them as default but i just feel that they could have also done some other stuff over these months like improving the sound, netcode or feel. it still feels awful to play on 50 ms and above. even with 1.3, the latest version of GTR seems a lot smoother and i've heard that this is due to some code being cleaned up. that being said, it is a huge improvement over baseq4 1.2

i have to say that my intention isn't to simply whine about things. i've played a lot of q4 and i really think it has potential. i even preferred it to q3 for a while because of the crouchsliding and rampjumping. this patch has shown that id are open to changes so the game may really become a lot better over time. i'm just slightly disappointed that the stuff that came with this patch are things which have already been in mods for a while now (excluding the maps and the new gametype of course)

Well, we'll never know. But you can't deny the fact that everything they changed isn't time consuming coding wise. The game is still lacking of all the things that need hard work (gtv, netcode, sound system, fps cap, hitbox etc.). After month of delaying (while waiting for the "first half" to be done) and an extra month this looks to me like a very poor job.

As the guys above said, it feels like they just ripped off some easily changed stuff from the mods. That is ok, because why not pick up already tested good things? No problem with that. While saying that, what have they done all the time? That is the problem: The important things only id can do are still untouched. It doesn't look like they even tried or are gonna fix these things in the future.

What about the "big list" Syncerror asked for? Check here http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1158704 to see that almost nothing is done.
As you say, we have basically no idea how many hours they spent on the patch. I just do not believe they worked hard on it, hence the poor result.

Yeah, a lot is still to be done. I think the patch is really great, but then again q4 was in a poor state before. Letting others to do some parts of the mod is a time-saver, but you probably will spend 30-50% of that time setting up the deal, defining exactly what should be done, monitoring and checking that everything is up to what you expected.

id say "We've been working hard and playing harder to bring you the release of version 1.3 for Quake 4." I somehow think that its really the case. Anyway I hope that :)

Is the speed really faster than Q3? Or was Q4 so slow to begin with that it just appears that way? I loaded up a local server and the speed has definitely increased, but I don't know if it's faster than Q3. Regardless, it's really hard to make any appropriate comments without seeing an duel game.

Hats off to ID who finally let me SPECIFY my install location. The previous patches wouldn't let me install if I just copied my quake dir from one PC to another.

I hope to spec some 1.3 Q4 games at QCON, even if they aren't using it for the tourney.

well...I hate to say it but the game has been deleted from my harddrive forever.

they did improve on some things but they added even more spam into the game with the change they made to the nailgun, and adding that napalm weapon was as big a mistake as I thought it would be.

heres hoping quake 5 will be good out of the box, and I wont have to wait this long to get let down yet again...

that is if I still care about gaming by the time q5 comes out...

a little advice to anyone from id that might care:

remove the napalm weapon now...

remove the hyperblaster, remove the nailgun, replace them with the plasma gun.

and in the next quake game...dont focus as much on graphics..instead focus on gameplay. because if it aint quake gameplay, youll only go through this again...and so will we..

and for all that is the future, present, and past of gaming...DO NOT LET RAVEN MAKE QUAKE 5. or anyone else but Carmack and the id team.

Id were the ones to judge if Quake 4 is ready for market and id decided to publish it in its back then current state. Quake 4 had its focus on the singleplayer from the very beginning, and Raven did a great job with the singleplayer.

Don't blame Raven.

Yeah, Raven shits a pile of code, while admittedly producing a decent SP with it, id okeys the game, because what, they would not release an obviously profitable and better then average game just because it's poop on the inside and it's id's fault that the game is shit?

I agree, I saw these exact same posts from the Quake 2 community when Q3 was released. "No map is as good as edge blah blah"

If you remember Q2 movement it was much harder to land the mega in Edge than it was to hit the ledge rail in dm6.

Change is going to happen, deal or leave. Are improvements needed? Yes. The game is still fairly new though

Instead of whining, be constructive and get your thoughts to the devs, without the "lose the nailgun" attitude

Q3 > Q4
Obviously they should have based the game more off of q3, since it is their best game in the series. Q4 is based WAY to much on gfx and no where near enough gameplay. I mean why would you want enhanced gameplay when you can have top notch graphics??? /sarcasm
No matter how many patches they release the game will be a flop. They should have realized this when it basically killed the q3 scene and didn't even create its own at its release.

q2 was made awful by the slow rl and weaps like the mg which majorly sucked
qw is a game for cavemen
what argument would you have for q3 sucking? AWAW ITS SO CALARFUL AND I CANTS MAKE CFG OLOL. AND ITS CALARFUL
q3 has the best weapons and weapon balance, we have at least 3 or 4 *great* duel maps and a bunch of good ones, it has the best engine, sets the technical standard and is tuneable/adjustable like no other game
dont forget about osp and now cpma which are just *great* tournament mods
it has been in its current near perfect state for about.. 5? years now and how many competitions we saw in this time, and every one was just awesome
i have to admit it gets a bit boring now and probably needs new maps but it's still a way better tournament game than any of the other quake series or even any other game
there are other games that are good and very fun too, but quake and especially quake 3 just sets the standard, sorry fanboys and girls of other games, cant argue with that

at least the cavegame i'm playing has good netcode, QuakeTV and MVD demos (+more), unlike the piece of trash Quake4 never really stopped to be even with 1.3.

btw: there's only one Quake game - the rest are generic sci-fi shooters with the possible exception of Quake3 which has refferences to the original.

I tried the patch out just before, and I have to say that I'm very happy with the changes id software have made to Quake4. I found it a lot easier to gain and maintain speed than Quake3, and the rockets move at the perfect speed now :) The new napalm launcher is PHAT! it's this big fireball you lob at people and if they walk over the fire, they burn :) If you hit them directly with it they take damage over time... it's pretty slow - fires a ball of flame every 1.5 seconds or so - the distance on it is pretty huge.

The new gametype looks very intense. Basically you pick up a rune and stand in a square in the centre of the map and you get 1 point per 1 second standing in the square.. but I suggest you read the notes on id's site to get a better view of it.

ATTENTION: new r_forceAmbient command means people with older pc's can get a huge performance boost in Quake4. Try r_forceAmbient .4 or higher... the colors and textures are a bit worse but the performance boost is huge :D about 30fps increase for some people.

It�s good that ID adds the r_forceAmbient command, but even before the 1.3 PR, Q4 was well playable with an �old� pc.
I play Q4 with a P4@2.88,1 Go, Ti4600 AGP*4� and Q4 runs at 60fps constant in 1o1, and drops sometimes at 40-45 in 4v4.
If Q4 runs at 25fps with a 6800GT, tweak your config!

i hope not , the new speed makes the game much more fun. I hope q4max will be out soon i think they also got some new features the community will like. So watch out and stop whining, it was the same from qw to q2 and from q2 to q3.

you call it great support when a company that gets money for selling games (of course they get money for engines etc., I know that) releases a game that is totally bugged, after the community has shown them in 3 earlier quake-parts what is important for a Quake-title? You call it great support when they fix a broken game after 10 months (10 months omg, I remember the days at q3 when the modding teams were releasing a new version every week, improving theirselfes and so on)..........of course this is a great bugfix, but please, dont ever call it "great support".....its bullshit

advent� :

As a constant player of Quake 4 for the past nine months, I must give it credit for introducing me to the deathmatch scene where I've met some really cool people--the DM community is 100 times better than the juvenile CS community. However, 1.3 fixed nothing other than the pace of the gameplay and balacing the weapons. The positional sound and netcode are both still horrible and are both still the two most critical issues that are in dire need of a fix. However, id flat-out ignored these issues and decided to pretend like they were doing something productive like introduce r_forceambient. Other than being able to play with 63fps on VQ4, what's the point if: 1) It's been done in mods several months ago and 2) the gameplay still, simply put, licks balls?

I was sincerely hoping that 1.3 would save Quake 4 from the grave that Raven dug it from the beginning and, unfortunately, that hope was in vain. I have been beyond patient with this game and now my patience has run out. Time to see whether I like CPMA VQ3 or Warsow better! =)

Please remove "sticky" from this news post or does ESR favor Q4 over Q3?
The CPL Q3 announcements' spotlight is taken by this news post, and anyone who is interested in q4 should have noticed by now. Mirrors and announcements are on all gaming related news sites.

maybe because they should do it? its not the communities job to implent everything they forget. There was GTV for q3, they should have noticed that it is a "most wanted" feature. I think other companies do this as well, if I am right then "HLTV" is being produced by valve and UTV is produced by Atari (not sure about that).
In every quake-title the community itself had to implent things like bright-skins.....it sucks

I haven't played q4 for months yet I gave the new patch a go and to me it seems great in terms of gameplay. I like the new balancing on the weapons, especially the rl which has always been my favourite weapon and now feels as it's actually useful for something else than spamming. Now that my beloved rl is back in business I feel like playing again although I'm quite convinced that the first duel I play will crush my spirit with q4's trademark rail- and shaftwhoring.

i havent played i duel now just tested on localhost cause im waiting for q4max,because playing without these brightskins is not possible (yeah there are default brightskins but they suck ;) ) i think, but what i think is that reducing the shaft knockback is a very good idea i hope it will be possible to move a little bit more when shafted than in 1.2 were it was nearly impossible to move out of the enemys shaft. Also i think the rail will not be as dominating as its now because of faster movement and the faster rocket and other weapon balance changes.
Can't say it often enough wait for q4max and try it again makes a huge difference imho.

I think the new patch is very promising but I have a problem, I cleaned out my configs and started Quake 4. I clicked on auto detect settings and then typed in seta r_forceambient "1" then seta r_displayrefresh "120".

When I create a server to test my settings it looks great now!! BUT r_displayrefresh is set to "0" (60hz by the looks of it) and if I type r_displayrefresh "120" it says this cannot be changed in multiplayer mode?

Any ideas

thanks for trying but it won't change from "0" to "120". I added r_displayrefresh "120" to my config and autoexec.cfg even, and when I launch Quake 4 the console says r_displayrefresh "120" but when I load a map it says this ...

]r_displayRefresh
"r_displayRefresh" is:"0" default:"0"
optional display refresh rate option for vid mode

]seta r_displayrefresh "120"
r_displayRefresh cannot be changed in multiplayer.

]r_displayRefresh "120"
r_displayRefresh cannot be changed in multiplayer.

bug ?

EDIT: net_allowcheats "1" did the trick, but it doesn't seem like "120" hz to me .... very strange. Radeon 9700 Pro 3.2ghz P4 catalyst 6.6

I had the same problem in 1.2. Only way i could solve it was by having it in the cfg. Then it worked until i vid_restarted or alt-tabbed when it went back to "0" (or 60Hz).

If anyone knows a way to solve it I would be glad because i hate to play with low displayrefresh. It's irritating for the eyes.

I tried 1.3 i thinks its a great improvement from 1.2. For the pl with sound problems i was wondering if you use q4 default sound setting with surround, or do u use openal. Because i noticed if i set my sound card to 5.1 speaker setting and have openal turn on in q4 i get horrible sound misses... etc but if i set my soundcard to headphone or 2 speaker setting i dont get the sound problems in fact it sound pretty damn good (the reverb could be reduced a bit but other than that its great). So in short, if i use openal in q4 i make sure my sound card is set to headphone or 2 speakers. If i use default sound i use either sound card setting of headphone, 2 speakers or i use surround sound (5.1 speakers) and i get no sound problems. And last but not least please q4 server admin remove the passwords for servers, the community is already hurt, having passwords on over half of the q4 servers is not going to improve things at all most player will deal with some bugs but when you are looking of a good server to play in and they are all locked its not fun. Some say we dont want noobs playing in the server well, let me tell you without the noobs the community will not grow. I understand if you have a match then yes by all means put the pw on, but if the server is not being use then remove the pw please. Some say well i pay for the server i can do whatever i want to with my server, Well, you are right you can but ask yourself what can you do for the community you are part of the community dont implode on yourself. At least give clear intructions on a web site that the pl can get the server and please dont tell pl to go to IRC the get the sever because new players may not even know what IRC is. Yes they are many problems but has community we can make this a better transition for the new players. Remenber you were a noob to.

Yes i know to ask for the pw in irc, but the new players who have no clue about IRC, they will try a few servers and get turned off because of fustrations. If they dont know about IRC the new players are not going to come. I found out about irc when a nice player told me about it during a game, if that did not happened i would have probably dropped the game long ago. If new players cant connect to a server they will have a hard time joining the community.

And if anyone can get the pw at irc why even have a pw. Illiminate that extra step please. For the sake of the new players, they have to filter through to much already. We has a community should try and help the new players has much as possible.

It isn't so much that they want to keep the passwords on there, it's just that they payed for a private server and are required to keep the passwords on there just to meet the host's requirements. I'm not sure how many people want to fork over more money to take the password off of the servers.

The server hosts won't be happy about that - they offer private (i.e. passworded) servers at a cheaper rate as they won't use as much bandwidth. If the password is in the server name then it is effectively public, and will get used a lot more.

Hmm, i guess the server providers dont really care about the community, for them its all about the $$$. Ive seen some servers put there pw with the server name and that seem to works fine. Well, they are ways around that everyone use the same pw a simple one like "quake 4" for quake 4 servers and "quake 3" for quake 3 servers and so on, the community is small enough to do this. The hard part is how to get the word to the new players if they dont know about IRC.

q4 also needs, among anything else:
BUG fixing, hit box fixing, movement fixing, sound fixing..

making the game faster and better adjusted is a great move, but there is still a loooong road ahead...

if id can't do it, they should just let the q4 rest in it's grave and if they care about it's gamers they should go on making q5
(as an arena, q3A game, enhancement) based on q3 engine physics..

so what if they've failed on making a good quake again,..
hopefully they'll learn from this,... like to care about it's community more, make the game for comm.
and not as a engine show-off (carmac is completly f---ed up .. has a completly wrong perspective about gaming)..
and we could wait a year-or-two for a q3 inheritor...

all that we need in a quake type game is in q3, the most imortant things:
-game physics (think perfect trick jumping engine, wsw is a good attempt, cpma is really good..)
-adjustability (especialy mouse movement, easy scripting for timers, easy hud personalizeing and creating..)
-great (and large) set of professionaly made maps
-good flexibility for demo show (multi-pov, rewind, slow-motion..)
-integrated mp3 :), in-game irc support
-nice basic video recording supp. (and that's what you would need good graphics with spec. effects, --->we don't need it for mp gameplay!)
-a place for gathering all the players in one place (think like world of warcraft and battle.net, clanbase portal, guild wars in-game comm.
--using the same place as a support for modders (the way hl2 does with it's steam servers)
-easy gtv and irc-bot support
-a goot html/php supp. for stats. and easy tournament management (players, played games demos)

q3 is really close to that, q4 will never be (obviesly),..
i think we can hope that we will get all this in game by community (enhanced q3) -- only probl. is no punkbuster supp. or if id guys take their heads from their asses maybe in a q5arena.....

*i've never played wow or gw
but i did see how it made a huge community of dedicated players, that love the game, and communicate with developers.. make the game better and better..

if the game doesnt feel borked and has basicly got mono sound, i believe people will find this game interesting and play it more, bigger community, more interest, resulting in more mapmakers who care making stuff, more mods, ideas etcetcetc. its up to id to fix the damn stuttering tho and get this community on its way :>

i'd like to see that done for q4!

anyway my point,. also., would be that ID should make the game more open
and when releasing it for sales that it should have all those features that i've listed already in a perfect working odrer
(and later make minor community adjustements not release a new game every 2 months as an update for a closed crapy engine..)

I have an idea how about the ppl who think they have to make it known that they removed q4 from there harddrive not post, it will make more room for ppl that are happy with q4.

Also if not mistaken on the Americans speak video socrates said the maps suck, and who ever created them always messes them up lol. I dont think it was id.

The movement is great now. I don't feel like a snail. For some reason the refresh rate stays at 0 and I can't change it. Several other inherent problems with the game that havn't been fixed which have already been addressed. I predict that point release 2.0 will get it right.

it seems you can make multieview demos in Q4 now when you make a server side demo O_o
you can even fly around as spectator in the demo now!

Would own.

Sacred is a great map that would have som nice trick jumps and no rail/shaft :D. I think Sacred from PK would be alot of fun in Q4. Lots of action and 100% fun.

No rail and shaft make a map boring to play with all rocket spam.
