Tenebrae Quake

Posted by michael on from the frames-per-minute dept.

viperstyx writes "Ah, the days of running around in bland 3d environments and fragging your best friends surrounded by a plethora of sprites and simple textures. What if we could go back to those days, except with per-pixel shading and transparent water? Well now, thanks to Tenabrae Quake you can. This small [just over 3mb] mod to the original quake engine allows users to play Quake while taking advantage of new technology like per-pixel shading. Its beautiful and definitely worth any old skool gamer's time =]"

    A mirror of the screen shots is at http://www.codewhore.org/tbq.

    I must really be starved for attention to do this.

    You could do that in Doom. It's called vertical autoaim =P Oh, and check out JDoom for OpenGL-powered Doom. It's not quite the same as Tenebrae but nice anyhow.

    qw (QuakeWorld) is still being played in both europe and the states. Tournaments are held once an year, maybe more... It's not a huge following but it definately exists... The Q1 physics were much different and it is still the 'fastest' game in the quake series (i think, maybe q3), so for some people it's much better.

    Of course this is compeditive gaming, and not actually playing q1 start to finish with all the monsters. I'd think that the lighting might be something they'd rather not have because when you game compeditivly you don't want any distractions so you take the 'detail' of the game down dramatically as a trade off for speed. I'm not sure if this is relevant for q1 cause I would assume that most computer it's being played on right now could easily handle it (unlike my 486 which positivly GROANED).

    Those servers are gay! They have self damage disabled, so the rocket launcher is overpowering.

    Type +mlook in the console to enable mouselook. Then bind the rest of your keys however you want.

    VERY cool, goto the quit screen with the credits, and hit D. If you shoot the well of wishes sign in the nightmare hallway it tells you this.
