WHAT YEAR IS IT (6 comments)
Posted by jstn @ 22:57 CDT, 13 April 2025 - iMsg
I got it in my head to play Quake again and remembered I used to bum around this place constantly back then. Last time I played was circa 2013 probably I think. What'd I miss?

Is like QL still ass but the only place anyone plays anyway? Is Q3 still 12 dudes on IRC? Does that one brain damaged english dude still rant about Q4 and militia every other day? Did cooller get conscripted to fight in Ukraine and, if so, is rapha planning a daring and romantic rescue mission? Someone fill me in here. I heard czm solved math finally.

I did hop on QL and play a few duels and I actually won all of them instead of getting stomped 20-0 so obviously someone went and fucked something up somewhere because that's never been a thing before.

250 FPS QL League - Season 2 (1 comment)
Posted by Danmer @ 12:58 CDT, 2 April 2025 - iMsg
250 FPS QL League returns with a second season!

The league will run for two months, starting on April 12, 2025. There will be a lot of interesting matches for the total prize pool 3,500$ by EGB. They also provide an opportunity to place bets on each match. So you can even earn a little money if you know the players well enough.

The league will start with four qualifying tournaments for everyone. First and second places will advance to the main part, where they will play with 8 invited players in a round-robin system. The top four players will compete in the super final for an additional prize.

The fate of the next seasons depends on your support: reposts, views, reactions, comments, and bets. So don't let us down!

Quake Strike v0.82 (1 comment)
Posted by baron Railgun @ 19:34 CDT, 31 March 2025 - iMsg
I made Quake Strike, which is a combination between Quake3 and Counter Strike mechanics, which you can play versus your friends if they are skilled at fps players but not so good at Quake, given increased weapon damage, movement hinder if you wear too much armor, increased gauntlet damage based on the scarcity of player's health (the lesser health you have, the bigger the damage), increased lightning damage versus armored opponents, bc electricity versus iron, weapon and items spawn increased to 30 s and more, like in Quake2, to strategize more, and so on.

Mod based on ioquake3,
link for the code and exes here:

https://github.com/baronRailgun/QuakeStrike-v0.82

Gonna set a server online as well at a later time.


The code have only been tested versus bots, their code have not been modified though, yet. It should work ok with players though.

Magnetic keyboard (No comments)
Posted by BalkanFM @ 17:01 CDT, 29 March 2025 - iMsg
Anyone have any experience with these type of keyboards? Im interested because of the instant activation and deactivation that you can configure.. im thinking about getting one to be able to play defrag and jump with the spacebar like im used to after so many years. I just cant get myself to jump with mouse2 and i think its a bad option for all other quakes as it hinders your aiming.
Please post some suggestions which one to get

Biased poll. If you're gonna have the option "a bit more than that" you should also include "a bit less than that." =)

The option "never" is always worth including too, just to be safe.

Every poll should have a "Q3" option, or all our sociological experiments with the gullible readership of ESR will be in vain.

I hope it will be out within 2 weeks, but it will probably take a few more days longer.

Hmm... already pushed the other poll down, which imo was far better. It showed me, a person who didn't play any new games this year, what games to try out.

This one just shows when people think the demo will be here, which is next to useless information - the opinion of esr people won't have any effect whatsoever on the actual demo-date =)

The PK poll pushed that poll off the main page, not mine.

"Will you give the ut2004 demo a try when released?"
yesh nah dunnooo

They are both equally meaningful polls!

It was supposed to be amusing, that is if you know what 'two weeks' stands for in Rein's book.

Oh, you're just humor all the way. No, seriously, your comment was just stupid, think before you post.

I can't say that I think the demo will be released in time, neither can I say the opposite, only expect it to be late. Most of these "promises" are just thin air.
