More Carmack Q3 Work
by Steve Gibson, Oct 14, 1999 5:03pm PDTYet another evening .plan update from John Carmack on the latest changes he's made to Quake3. It's mostly just technical mumbo jumbo. He's like, working on it or something though I'm pretty sure. I guess the only real change that might really interest you guys is he's now got a seperate sound channel setup for all local client sounds so you don't miss any. I'm guessing that means no more missing the "hit tone" when you tag someone with a rail on Q3Test2 eh?
Comments
cuz of the poor performance. I\'m just glad a lot of
people like it and it has prompted id to make some
good changes. As far as I am concered UT has served
its purpose.
Don\'t you think they would have announced a release date
for 1.09 if they were close? Seeing as its already far behind
what they first anticipated. If this isn\'t a demo I doubt they\'ll have
something ready by Christmas.
Some other games are TOO buggy on the other hand, like Unreal was.
My HDD contains Quake, Quake2, Q3test1.08 and 3/4 other games (including Unreal return to Na-Pali, that is very cool). Period.
But i am a gamer. Period.
> Man, life would be boring with only one game on your system.
I agree.
Simply, (comma ;) ) i don\'t like UT for 1000 reasons (maps, models, style of play, etc). Period.
Bye.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr! :-)
and oh yeah, #66, I only have space for one game :-)
And UT runs like a hunk of shite, and I havent exactly got a slow computer, just slight lack of memory.
Q3 runs just fine at 50fps, SO WHY THE FUCKING HELL DOESNT UT RUNS YOU FUCKERS?!?!
BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Ma Quando cacchio esce la 1.09 ?!?!?!
[ITALIAN MODE *OFF*]
[ENGLISH MODE *ON*]
The cat is over the table.
Where is the pen?
John is working too hard. STOP HIM! Take an holiday! Release 1.09! :)
[ENGLISH MODE *OFF*]
Bye.
hum diddly dee... *slurp* - *mmpop* - *ahhhh*

we met at qcon. I was the lad on the 6th floor who was imbibing too much goldschlager.
I found new Rage Against the Machine album on an FTP site.
ME LIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be as stupid as deleting Quake or Quake2 off my drive because I like Q3test1.08 so much. Sorry, it\'s not gonna happen...
Man, life would be boring with only one game on your system.
month and 1.08 has been out for like twice
that time. I wonder what the big problem is
that is holding things up. Lots of plan updates
but of very tiny things that almost no one understands.
Sure as hell hope they put in a new map as its
getting stale.
and as for the employee thing, i had no idea. i really just wanted to know. (honestly)
I just guess I am sick and tired of people bitching about id. I have a friend who \"works\" there and I take it kinda personally when people bash id. O.K. maybe they weren\'t bashing id, but I still took it personally. i think i am done here.
Ok that was a personal attack :)

How many people work at epic?
How many people work at ion storm?

Although I agree that it\'s just a matter of adjustment, ask frequent Q3 lan players, they\'ll say that it\'s much more exciting and fun to play q3 on a lan than on the internet. :)

Last time I join a q3 server with anything but 40 ping. :)
As I\'ve heard over and over from IRC...quake3 isn\'t playable without 0 ping
-Spezzer
my thoughts exactly. nobody can do q3 better then id, so everyone shut the fuck up. its not like they are intentionally delaying the game. they are just trying to make it the best it can be.
and to whoever called id a small shop, if its so small, how can john have 3 or 4 ferrari\'s and everyone else drive vipers and other exotic sports cars. oh yea they are REAL small. you probably say I-D Software as well. dipshit.
*insert sound of shotgun in an act of mercy here*
I remember Romero saying something about multiplayer only - the people who are going to play that only are probably going to find a place to download it from the net.
I seriously bet half of the people here will not buy Quake3, but warez it. Not many people I knew bought Quake2...so to say 40 bucks down the drain only works for half of us.
Remember, I\'m not repudiating your point :)
-Spezzer
All those who don\'t play q3test could be complaining about patchware, otherwise, it\'s a double-standard :/
-Spezzer
Or maybe id could lighten the hell up and let people mod Q3test.
The excuse that they don\'t want it modified because that might screw up bug reports doesn\'t stick, cause I mean how long has 1.08 has been out? IS anyone still sending in bug reports?
At least Epic realise this and let people mess around with UT. Theres a whole bunch of UTdemo mods around.
