New Post: Music won't play

flagrant99 — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:00:21 GMT

I am trying to play on a netbook without a CD Drive in it and I can't get it to play any music. I am on 1.9.0. Does anybody know if it is possible to get it to play music if machine has no cd drive? Here are the paths.

Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track002.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track003.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track004.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track005.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track006.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track007.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track008.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track009.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track010.ogg
Quake\ID1\sound\cdtracks\track011.ogg

Is there anything else I can do? Never hear music.

Im using vid_mode 24 that means 1024x768 @ 100hz . In game custom settings :

cl_maxfps "160"
host_maxfps "160"
pq_maxfps "160"
sv_maxfps "160"
sv_aim "1.00"
sys_ticrate "0.00625" // was 160 (Default 0.05)
vid_mode "24"
vid_vsync "1"
vid_fullscreen "1"

The game is sooooo smoother after using this (stable 100 fps with vsync on)(CRT monitors are the best)

DirectQ 1.9.0-Bugs and Questions (April 2013)

1) After an hour or so of playing, my character will start sinking into world and taking damage, and the game becomes unplayable. A quick save and simple load DOES NOT fix this . Only engine restart helps. I was playing Insomnia (Large maps) also I saw this in Unforgiven (very often). It seems like part of the ground becomes "solid" , something like this. It HAS TO BE fixed. Absolutely.

2) How to make Sound quality Higher? Any commands with KHZ? I compare this quality with MHQuake.exe (6.0.0) and quality of the last one much higher.

3) I tried to launch Nehahra , but when I start new game it crashes while loading (I did not see the error)

p.s. I very enjoy port DirectQ . There are only necessary settings which can make this game looks like DOS or Modern graphics for best quality , a lot of mods support . Very cool at all . BUT these things have to be fixed.

sorry for my ENG ,Im Russian

ust played Unforgiven and after about 20 mins I started sink into ground again , thats so annoys me , beautiful port , but this f*ckin bug , very sad. (DirectQ 1.9.0 , DirectX 9.0 , Win XP 32 bit )

Im about WINDOWS XP SP3 , how to increase quality here ? . I think the best way is adding command like s_khz for increasinfg quality In- Game directly like in another ports

p.s. I very wish that BUG with sinking will be fixed , thats very important , also sound quality fix and nehahra support should be added =]

Is there any way to remove the HUD entirely?

rboy1 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:50:33 GMT

First it gave me a DirextX file misssing error. I downloaded the Web Updates for directX and that went away.

Now it gives an error "Couldn't load pic/colormap.pcx"

Any idea what's up?

UPDATE: IGNORE! I need to install Quake Duh!

Music will work fine in ./gamedir/sound/cdtracks ... be sure to label them trackXX.format which is easy enough if you rip them from the original disc using Media Player or something like that.

Although remember if you ripp them to turn off DRM

Another thing to point out is DirectQ v1.9.0 default behaviour is to try to use CD Music, this means if you have a CD/DVD/BluRay in your Optical Drive it will assume it contains the CD Music. As such simply remember to eject any discs otherwise unless it is an actual music CD nothing will play.

I think it would be preferable if what DirectQ did was it searched for a local version first, then attempted to play CD Music if non was found.

New Post: Fault Reports

Leyvin — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:54:10 GMT

While I am aware that work is now underway on v2.0.0 (DirectX 11), the issues I will outline here are not problems with the Graphics per'say but rather more generalised. I will also point out every issue I outline here, was not present in v1.5.0 that version however had it's own unique issues.

• Animation Interpolation causes poor playback framerate with the given animation as well as incorrect looping giving a "jump frame" effect. This does not affect the Standard Quake (ID Directory) assets, it does appear to be an issue with Modification Packs.

The best Expansion Pack I found that shows this issue clearly is Malice, but it is a considerably difficult Total Conversion to obtain as it was relatively rare even when it was released.

• ZDepth fighting. There used to be a hack option that seems to have either disappeared or been hidden, whatever happened to it given AMD and NVIDIA Cards handle ZDepth differently what works with one will often cause tearing or "Z-Fighting" on the other.

• Sound randomly won't loop properly. There are some instances in Standard Quake, where for example a Zombie that moans alot will just stop or such... but again this issue seems most prevelant in Modifications.

Have you tested it on a standard ID1 installation? Yes

Does it also happen on GLQuake? No idea, Steam refuses to run it saying "Steam cannot create instance" or some such jazz. Keep meaning to copy a standard version of GLQuake so I can run outside of Steam

Your hardware and software specs, including details of any "optimized" drivers you may be using.

AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz
AMD Radeon 8GB 1.6GHz Memory
AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 1GB (16x) (Catalyst 12.8)
AMD Series-8 HD Audio (Catalyst 12.8)
Windows 7 (Home Premium) 64-bit (Service Pack 1)
Quake (Steam Edition)

Details of any errors you receive, including the full text of the error (a console debug log would also be handy). None

Full steps to reproduce. I'd recommend getting a copy of Malice (e-mail me if you can't find a copy I can send it your way for testing purposes) as really most of the issues appear quite often there.

New Post: need a support

ATTACUE — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:06:31 GMT

Hi, guys!

I'm introducing "quake" with DirectQ-1.9.0 Engine.

http://narod.ru/disk/56902157001.cf26730a36ba1f99221d7a951efd8396/Quake.iso.html

added:

-textures: QRP (Map textures v.1.00 + Normal map tex. add-on v.1.00)

-weapons (temporary solutions because not correctly support, but it's best solution supported in directQ)

-nailgun nailposition (patch in PAK-file)

-axe from telejano (it's best solution supported in directQ)

-vis'ed maps (for correctly "r_alphawater")

-Items: QRP (Item textures v.0.73 (DarkPlaces), -this is supported in directQ)

(without QRP-gfx, because i'm used original GFX from original Quake 1)

-and I'm configuring "default.cfg" (in PAK-file) next:

a)r_wateralpha 0.6

(because not saving this parameter in game menu and exit game and not saving in directq.cfg)

b)normal keyboard control (for example: "W""S""A""D")

c)r_glsl_offsetmapping 1; r_glsl_offsetmapping_reliefmapping 1

(for QRP Normal map tex. add-on v.1.00)

===================================================

NEED A SUPPORT IN DIRECTQ:

a)weapon pack (for example Rygel-weapon-pack)

http://narod.ru/disk/56903183001.339daa23cdba88fb8f61869239636018/Rygel-weapons.pk3.html

http://narod.ru/disk/56903101001.6bb143ed4389eee3bf37f6dce758fd35/Monsters-marphus-mix.pk3.html

c)best axe from Rygel

http://narod.ru/disk/56902634001.a54ef7da72900ff0ecf6fd8eaad47fb9/axe-rygel.pk3.html

d)best backpack (unknown author)

http://narod.ru/disk/56902748001.67f4a513d72fba2aeef51172dbd41f1e/gibs.pk3.html

f)correctly support music in PAK-file (without path in id1"sound/cdtracks/*.wav")

(music PAK-file ONLY)

http://narod.ru/disk/56357970001.e134eb80242bdad9f6d1b841bb4915da/music.pk3.html

I'm hope for your understanding.

Thanks.

ATTACUE — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 20:23:41 GMT

Hi.

I found 2 bugs:

1- music files : Quake\id1\sound\cdtracks\"tracks.wav" - playing

but

when packed with : for example "music.pak" or "music.pk3"

(path in pak-file: sound\cdtracks\"tracks.wav" saved) NOT plaing

2-no saved to config-file parameter: r_wateralpha when I'm change in menu game and exit.

(effects and other options)

need buttom "save"

temporary solution: write this parameter in default.cfg (in pak-file)

===========================================

and need weapons from directQ-1.8.8 patch 2 because in directQ-1.8.8 patch 2 weapons are high-quality detalization.

in directQ-1.9.0 - low-bad quality detalization (reminded original quake 1 with big pixels)

P.S. sorry for my bad english

I think I read somewhere about problems with music in DirectQ version 1.9.0. Mine works fine (track02.ogg to track 11.ogg in \ID1\sound\cdtracks) with DirectQ 1.8.8 Patch 2.

If you are using 1.9.0 it may be worth trying 1.8.8 Patch 2.

I have tried making both '.\ID1\sound\cdtracks' and '.\ID1\Music' directories with the music in them and they will not play.

I used the 'track00X.ogg' format so I don't know what else I could be doing wrong!

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi, I had serious problems running a Quake listen server behind a NAT router. Even with just a single friend of mine. The current port management is terrible. The protocol tells the client which port to use in the reply to the query port. Currently a random port is opened to be used by each client. To be able to port map I used a hacky solution where the ports are opened sequentially instead of random. While this solved my problem a more time consuming redesign would be preferable. I can't see a reason to use more than one port. The client is uniquely identified by their IP/port combination. Multiple clients can send and recieve data on a single server udp port. Any change must not break compability but as far as I can tell the clients wouln't care if the server told them to connect to the query port as their session port. Obviously a simpler solution would be a robust multiport solution requiring a sequential set of maxslots+1 ports. Any thoughts? Like the 3D Vision support. A 3D aware crosshair might be nice (Not rendered at screen depth but at the depth of what's targeted). Good Luck

New Post: DirectQ allows Quake to play in stereoscopic 3D

3dlou — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 23:13:06 GMT

DirectQ is a fantastic clean port for Quake that allows it to be played in stereoscopic 3D. Nvidia does not provide the appropriate 3D drivers for OpenGL for its G-Force series of cards and this is an absolute scandal! DirectQ solves the problem through a kind of piggy-back Direct3D conversion. It also provides full widescreen support with excellent framerates! Great work in shaming Nvidia! It would be marvellous if DirectQ could also be developed to play games based on the Quake 3 engine (e.g., Alice, Jedi Knight) and the Doom 3 engine (Quake 4, Prey). Keep up the amazing work!

An option to load the last saved game instead of the initial save game for the level when restarting after dying would be nice.

New Post: Fault Reports

RobbyWiz — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:45:54 GMT

The Quake Revitalization Project (QRP) recently released an updated texture pack (1.00) on the 24th Dec 2010 for use with various Quake engines - I have tried out the new version with the latest release of DirectQ, and unpacked the main pk3 archive into a folder called textures within the ID1 folder. However, the layout of the new pack has changed - where there are textures with the same name, but on different levels, they are placed in a subfolder. For example, the skybox and lift platform textures for E1M1 are placed in textures/e1m1 but they do not get loaded when running E1M1 in DirectQ. The same goes for any other levels with textures stored in subfolders.

As such, this isn't really a fault, but I'm guessing it will be easier to resolve than some of the other issues listed in this topic.

EDIT: The latest QRP pack can be downloaded from: http://facelift.quakedev.com/downloads/
