I actually consider the addition of Clan Arena as one of the most important things in this release. CA was without a doubt the most popular game mode for casual gamers in Quake 3 (later on at least), and this could really help kick start the community; get new players interested in trying it out.

CA is the CS of the Quake series, it's much easier for people who are complete newbie�s to enjoy and get a few kills now and then.

Impressive work, kudos to the Q4M team.

I think you'll find that RA was (is) more popular than CA!

<< Comment #158 @ 05:55 CST, 24 December 2005 >>

By

Egil - Reply to #155

Well I can only judge by the scandinavien scene, and it seems to me the CA servers was way more popular during the last year of Quake 3, then their RA3 counterparts.

Edit: Either way, it doesn't matter. RA4 isn't out yet, and this game mode is by far the most newbie friendly to hit the Quake series.

no timeout? must be hard to implement since neither xbattle nor q4max managed too

<< Comment #78 @ 23:26 CST, 23 December 2005 >>

By

wiseguy - Reply to #5

Yes, pausing the game is extremely problematic. There were many testing/breaking sessions with Rhea and osp in both quake2 and quake3....so I can only imagine quake4 being the same thing. Early implementations are usually plagued with glitches like, projectiles keep moving, or sound gets mucked up or game timers get 'off' or damages right before/after pause dont get counted, or get counted twice, etc etc.

It is certainly a very doable thing, but I would not expect a pause until later in the development. However the q4max is a very talented team and this isn't their first rodeo, so they may be able to avoid some of the pitfalls of previous quake versions.

yea. afaik it took the CPMA dev team a while before they fixed that bug where the game would 'store' all your mouse movements during a timeout and then execute them when the game resumed. OSP still had it the last time i checked.

So nice... Really lives up to the expectation from what you can read about it, and a lot more. Well done.

Edit: Tested it out, omg, feels like a completely different game, and the ATDM gamemode seems nice too.

From Q4MAX.COM news post:

Included in the distribution is something to prompt some thought and discussion: a custom mode called ATDM (Advanced TDM) which uses a strong tiered armor system, 90 second quad respawn, no powerup drop and with droppable weapons enabled. However, gameplay changes to the �vanilla� base are not in the plan.

Sounds like a good idea. Shame you still need an awesome machine to get 60fps solid while in battle :(

Nice one Q4Max, you don't disappoint!

Bugs/Missing:

- CA scoreboard doesnt reset after new game
- Can't see players stats after CA game ends
- Need damage values!

Other than that - excellent. Working team overlay (with icons - sexyness, means you dont have to read the location, can use peripheral vision instead!), auto screeny/demo. So obvious how Q4Max and XBM focus on different things. Q4Max is the choice for competition, simple as.

lightscale controls the color intensity.

Best used with vertex light. The higher the number the more intense the colors.

It's a festivus miracle!! ;-)

Thanks for the great release guys.

Quake 4 with vertex & no bobbing feels like a whole new game, clean & smooth.
Also love the user interface, nice & simple.

ui_showgun 0 was NOT what I had in mind.

and if I recall correctly, arQon removed nonfunctional commands, a few of which may at one point have had something to do with weapon wobble. They were removed because they did nothing.

Try putting the token inside single speech marks eg bind "x" "sayTeam '#i' is avial"

For those too lazy to click on the link:

"I take RA at 15:00
I say "RA@35"
You, as timer-counting-up newb have clock at 5:00
So for you, RA respawns at :25, not :35

It simply doesn't work in team games unless everyone uses the same setting, which'll never happen on pubs (or if you have teammates who aren't VQ3'ers, since every other games uses countdown). So we HAVE to have one setting for everyone, and since Q4's default is to count down, that's what the setting is.

The next automatic mindless response is "well, how about just for DM then?". Virtually everyone who plays DM also plays some form of team game, so either they continue to avoid getting used to it, or they screw up when they switch between them. End result: everyone adopts countdown timers anyway."

for the record i don't agree with what arQon says, i was just posting why q4max aren't putting in a counting up timer, at least for the moment.

If your team is not smart/organised enough to esablish a rule about timers, you do not deserve to win/are too sucky to timeup anything.

And would it be really hard to integrate a filter (activated by a tag) that just does this:

Player A has timer down.
Player B has timer up.

Player A picks RA (let's say 45 sec) at 10:05 on his "clock". He activates the bind "RA @ #taghere"
Player B has his timer set to UP so the game will "convert" that #taghere to fit HIS timer, si it'll display "RA @ 40" (the match is 15 minutes ..)

If a team uses teamspeak to communicate during matches, this team is organised enough to have a rule about timers.

And what's the fucking relation with ts is the first place? Text with tags is perfect to time up items, ts is more of a tactical communication for more "complex" things, such as telling one's exect position or status.. Using ts to timeup items only creates misunderstanding and confusion, simply use a bind to sayteam or "resay" the time in case of problems..

What I see is a complete non argument, just stay fucking realistic and don't try to search shit where it ain't any.

Are you serious ? team overlay is enough "for more "complex" things, such as telling one's exect position or status." Teamspeak is for timing.

we don't want to choose, we want it to be standard.

we don't want to use team chat for timing, we want teamspeak.

we want you to read this twice or more.

voicecomms.... And even if you can agree on a clock to use by the entire team, it would prolly still mean half of them use a clock they rather didn't/ arent used to. It causes more trouble than it fixes, just learn to live with this clock (it ain't hard, really)

if it is for quads, it's much easier to use voicecomms cause when you don't know if it's at 32 or 34, you can say 'at about 33'. And if you have two timers displayed at the same time you STILL can be confused. Learn to time downwards, it's easy and after a while you don't even have to count, you just connect the two numbers in your head (like when you pick up ra at 7.18, you KNOW the new one will spawn at 6.43)

R_lightscale is unlocked so you can use it to brighten the game instead of r_gamma and r_brightness in vertex mode.

With r_vertexlight 1, the game is very dark. If you brighten it with r_gamma and r_brightness, you get an ugly, washed-out picture. Using lightscale instead, will brighten everything but the hug, menus, etc, and maintain the intergrity of the visuals. :)

Enjoy.

Just finished my third config, had to because else it would become a big mess. On q4base everything is to dark now with all those mod and map tweaks, etc whine etc.

I've got a couple of questions.

In the competition menu there is an option "Light detail level". When changing this i see no difference on the map. Is this because i enabled vertexlight or is it because battlemod magically enhanced all the other mods with their ambient light thing?

In the system menu under audio there is an option called "World sounds". At first i thought it would remove the ambient sounds as in the edge, but it had no effect. Perhaps because i didn't do a s_restart, but i'd like to know the console command for it, because i didn't see it back in the docs.

Is there a way to load a bot in q4 (lan mode), so you can tweak a bit localhost? Just like /addbot in q3.

The next things are questions/requests.

I just hate the timer being in the top of the screen. In battlemod and q4base it as the left. Is there any way i can replace the timer to the left (or right) of my screen again, and if not, can you please put such an option in the next release?

Battlemod unlocked the crosshairsizes from its ridiculous set vq4 sizes. Now im playing (in battlemod) with a large round circle with a dot in it, a q3 crosshair. I've played with such a crosshair for a long time, and i like because you can aim with the dot, or you could choose to focus on waiting until an opponent is inside the large circle. With a max fixed crosshairsize of 48 the opponent doesn't fit in the circle, so the whole idea gets screwed up. Please unlock crosshairsize in q4max too.

Vertexlight overides lightdetail level. However, it's still useful for people that like some lights rather than just ambient (I like ldl5 for instance - a good balance between performance and looks).

s_ambient / "World Sounds" requires a restart (not just snd_restart, a full map restart) to take effect.

Without knowing the specifics, I think you might need to rewrite the netcode, since simply disabling the upload from the clients just wont cut it. Whats the max number of clients a normal server can hold, 16 on a good day, maybe 32 without upload (and we still want chat and other options, like choosing arena to watch ect.).

So you would probably need to construct some kind off oneway multicast Q4 protocol, with limited upload posibities. If it's something like that, then it's not something you just do.

cause q4max has now that features xbm already had?

im really wondering why so many people like q4max much more than xbm. well at the moment both mods have some bugs, have lack of some features, but in the end they are very equal atm. personally i like xbm a bit more because of timer/weaponbar/railtrail and the unplayble tdm in q4max

but why q4max>>xbm and such things, why the xbm hate? only cause cpl picks q4max? or because xbm is developed by germans? some people never ever would play xbm, regardless what features it would offer. just on principle, im asking why

really sad that hate between q4max <--> xbm. in the end both try to improve the game, xbm for the community, q4max for cpl, but hey.

one problem i see is that everytime somebody says ANYTHING bad about XB someone from the xb team or some random fanboy comes here and writes about how this and that isnt fair and how both have the same features etc.
thats just annoying, just fix things and make a better mod than and maybe ppl will recognize the better mod.

on the other hand you have all the well known dev names on the q4max team and for now they are doing a great job while the XB team just isnt as focused on the important stuff as they should be.

still your biggest problem is the CPL supporting Q4max which will lead to players leaving leagues if they cant play with q4max which happend in the 1on1 eurocup already.. i think its only a matter of time when q4max fixes important TDM stuff and clanbase TDM leagues will change too...

they community wants one mod and thats why they support q4max more because the only thing helping xb right now is clanbase tdm, nothing else

All this crap about how q4max is better than xbm and vice versas is just pathetic. Ok, Q4max has more experienced team, but I'm rooting for XBM just for the reason that they havent given up, and if they keep topping each other like this the mods will be damn amazing eventually because in a competition like that mistakes arent tolerated in releases.

really, i dont care who make the mod. i just want one mod, thats all. since cpl and clanbase chose q4max, it is obvious to prefer q4max over xbm. this whole bullshitting between both teams and their fanboys is all about who has the bigger e-penis. and really i dont care about that.

q4max is better because it hasnt have bugs like the score-board bug. And i can actually see the scores top left of the screen.

Then it has good teamoverlay, better HUD, feels smoother. Well i could go on......

use the same value as model and cg_teammodel - ie, the full model name, not the shortened "display" name.

Unfortunately cg_enemymodel didnt make it into the gui in this release (will be in a future one), but team model did, so set the team model through the gui, and then look at the value in the console - that'll show you what you need for cg_enemymodel.

Its not working properly because it cannot work (with 0.71). The pk4's contain dlls (pak071w.pk4 for q4max). Q4 extracts the DLL its using into the dir when it runs. You can see which one it uses by checking the console, but it'll be using the one from the last one alphabetically...

Try adding a bot, and enabling vertex lighting, or playing CA. Both wont work at the same time.

the rail color is controlled by the cvar ui_hitscanhit. afaik it's not possible to set different colors for the core and the surrounding zone, the rail color is applied both to core and the swirling effect. anyway, the ui_hitscanhit cvar accepts three inputs as in following format,
seta ui_hitscanhit "Hue Saturation Value" as

Hue -> 0~360
Saturation -> 0~1.0
Value -> 0~1.0

Now, the color itself is controlled mainly by the Hue value. You can find color pickers, or selectro small programs or even applets (google it). the 0 for hue corresponds to red, and as you cycle through 0 -> 360 the colors are changed. The saturation and Value values determine how bright (or transparent in a way) the rail color is. for example if you want pure white color with max. possible solidness use ui_hitscanhit "0 0 1" .for white color, the hue value does not really matter since the second value (saturation) is set to zero, meaning that rail color is not saturated with the hue value.

i personally use "288 .9 .8" which gives a mellow magenta (yet dark) color.

hope this helps.

screenshot-autoaction sux. at first you are encountered with undefined files (.jpeg works), then you have to realize that only the "game summary" is recorded, no scores, no stats !

Cant they write a proper manual for Q4Max ?
I`m not a computer/gaming noob but I see I still have to figure out a lot.

helped :) whats "Vertex" and good to know you have to enter three values for RG and B with three digits each using a space.... why not build in a simple color picker? :D

Its just that i`m used to ease since I come from UT200X where we have the perfectly simple UTComp MOD.

Or what about an install prog to install this mod properly?

no need to fuck up the registry even further
unzip is the only thing you need to do to use the mod

Nope thought it would myself, Q4 CA is far less fun than Q3, it also emphasis how shit the maps and weapons are, RL spam seems to hit you no matter where you are on the map, i assume the splash area is bigger in q4? too many weapons that are not needed becomes aparent, weapon switchs sux etc, all make for a dull game, you can also only play for a short time before the LG bug kicks in, numerous sound drops making knowing if you hit enemy impossible, no points for damage given etc etc

When viewing demos the Rocket Launcher fireball just flies through walls and floors without any explosion/impact.

I thought this was a feature at first, but when I went to play the game... the RL was behaving the way it was supposed to. Actually hitting walls, floors etc.

Anybody have a clue on this one?

Edit:

Deleted Q4max folder. Intalled Q4max again. Plopped in my same two configs and now the rockets are fine.

Edit2: It's back.

Yeah.. only thing I can see.. Q4 is major crap to play online... only option to enjoy Q4 at the moment is playing 1on1 vs friends and on 'private' servers.

yeah you can forget q4, from the beginning there were only ffa and ctf or that kinda shit servers, and now that we have at least a playable q4 thanks to q4max etc., the uber noob mods like CA are taking over
q4, although not mature enough yet, is a good basis for high quality duels and team matches
its a shame it gets abused these ways
