General fQuake discussion thread.

i don't think 'QW' is trademarked

it probably doesn't matter for something that is given away free and is almost entirely their game & code anyway

i doubt id would chase up a trademark infringement unless they were losing money as a result

i wonder about 'Enemy Territory: Quake Wars' though. Did they license 'Quake®' ?

haha, quakeworld®.nu

it's at least a good thing we are staying on topic

the "getting started" tutorial has finally been "completed" and is now in the beta stage (in lack of other words)

any improvements you can come with will be considered (including but not limited to SPELLING ERRORS and HTML ERRORS)

http://f.nu/fquake/getstarted.html

I'm sorry, but fQuake's installer is broken (the error message is 'unable to download mirrors.ini' or something alike).

=(

http://f.nu/fquake/fquake-1.0.zip

use that until the installer problem is fixed

rc13 changes main mirror to llamah.se since endpoint can't fix their ddos attacks

also, the installer is downloaded from the WEBSITE, and the ini files are ALSO downloaded from the WEBSITE.

dutch translation has been added

Thanks for the fix.

i0h- is working on a linux installer for fQuake

it's looking VERY promising..

stay tuned

I gave an fquake link to a few of my friends. They really liked it, and said q4 should have something like it.

My only suggestion for fquake is that the new high-res weapon models should be included by default if someone is installing the 24bit textures. At the least, there should be a menu option in the installer for it.

Oh, one suggestion for the website. Maybe a few screenshots of quake would be nice. A graphics screenshot, lego screenshot with solid color walls / floors, and maybe a default settings screenshot, just so people know what they can get.

Thanks for putting together fquake.

if the models CRC get added to -ruleset smackdown i'll make them "default" (if chosen), otherwise, i can't.

btw i dunno if you noticed these screenshots

http://f.nu/fquake/getstarted.html#step4.5

they are small, yes, but they are there

i might add some screenshots later on!

thanks to deurk we now have 3 fquake mirrors on 100mbit connections

*bow to the work done by Empezar*

rc14 up, it's not really a RC though cause I know some stuff that will need to be fixed before this can be released, but what software gets 14 release candidates anyway?

I made the preferences page translatable (it wasn't before), and the mirrors now show DESCRIPTIONS instead of just URLs.

German translation was also added...

Preferences + Please choose mirror and download location (header + subheader) is not translated in any language yet - this is what needs fixing before release

Eclipse 3.2 probably will (upto their sixthy RC atm)

lol, i can assure everyone that fquake will not go past 20

Uhm, my translations wasn't really finished
I'll send you the updated one this evening or tomorrow.

i released this RC cause i made major changes to the installer itself, translations don't need bugtesting, this does.

fQuake v1.0 is now released, along with source codes and tools

I will write a guide on how to translate later on today

nice

the linux installer idea gave me a boner

lol
i0h said it was close to completion... Any news?

http://llamah.se/fquake-linux-i386-2.22.tar.gz

forgot to sen it to empezar .. sorry for the waiting..


NOTE..IT MAY BE SOME BUGS I DIDNT NOTICE.
it works on my computer.. if theres any problem notify me and i look into it..

Tested it. Here is my feedback

1) it's counter intuitive to use Y/N in the custom install then 1/2 at the questions at the end for yes and no
2) For the custom install, you should provide a default value of Y
3) for the predefined types of installs, a list of what's or what's not installed would be nice at confirmation prompt

That's it :p
Great job

linux shell script added to website

[14:39:53] <@fnu[Empezar]> i havent tried it yet
[14:40:03] <@fnu[Empezar]> does every single package have a y/n prompt?
[14:40:06] <@fnu[Empezar]> in the custom install
[14:40:11] <@fnu[Empezar]> cause there are TONS of packages
[14:40:37] <@fnu[Empezar]> yes / no / custom for each CATEGORY would probably better
[14:40:52] <@fnu[Empezar]> so if you select yes, everything in that category gets included, and custom = y/n for each package

I'm also going to move from f.nu/fquake to fquake.quakeworld.nu (i.e. fquake.qw.nu will not be a redirect anymore)

Should fquake.quakeonline.net stay as a redirect?

redirect it to fquake.quakeworld.nu

Done
