p0rt just put q43A in a browser = win.

This, then people would actually give it a shot.

use a proxy, you can buy q4 on steam for £7

£14.99 buying it normal

Ive already got Quake 4, but that's beside the point. The point is that getting Quake 4, setting up all the files for the mod etc is a ball ache and after going through all of that you are only going to find that its a dead game, however if you made Q43A available to play via a website which is quick and easy to jump into a game then it has HUGE potential to attract players. They would even be willing to pay £7 for it if you could launch it via a web browser quick and easily.

You could turn this into what Quake Live could have/should have been if executed correctly. Seriously think about it.

you install quake 4
you install quake 4 1.4.2 patch

you extract the download q43a mod zip, and put the q43a folder in the quake 4 install directory

you load quake 4, you load q43a on the mods menu or use a command line to +set fs_game q43a

and that will be it, you dont have to piss around to play SP/MP/start servers, it all works like normal unmodded q4

and its the same for windows and linux

And how many people play it atm then?

why would i know, i know #19.8 has had 175 downloads since june 23 2011, 50 on strategyinformer in 2 weeks, q4files will probaly add it in a month i uploaded it a few days ago, quakeunity will just delete it cos the site is fucked and nothing works

q43a can do pure listenservers, every pk4 will download when a client connects, and the client will have the whole complete mod to run another server and other clients can download the complete mod... for windows and linux

q43a does pure dedicated servers that will give clients the complete mod for windows and linux

no1 is running a pub server that gets listed on q4master, q43a dedicated server i ran last november and posted it on here never got listed on q4master, its probaly filtered and banned still from when it was called militia

you download it, make it hit 1000, and the top 100 in mod of the year http://www.moddb.com/mods/q43a/downloads

and make and release some custom mp player models and new maps and link them to q43a if you upload them to moddb with your account

So its had 175 downloads which means there's about hmm let me see... 10 active players max? If you could implement this into a website like QL and have a simple install process then im pretty sure you could get it popular. Im sure what you have done so far is great, but your work just isnt getting heard so its more or less a waste of your time, if you could get it into a web browser then there could be 1000x more players.

nope, there are 10 active players on q4mp/q4max/gtr/pub servers on q4master

q43a is underground, until people run pub servers that get listed on q4master, no1 will know how many people play it

175 downloads cover the whole q4 player base on all version of q4, and all existing mods

no q43a servers are listed on q4master in any browser
http://www.gametracker.com/search/q4/?sort=c_...order=DESC

you have to join ip directly to play q43a

Why aint it listed on q4master? And you mis-understood what I was saying, I was saying that theres probably like 10 active players on Q43A and it will never be big because Quake 4 is a dead game and its hassle to get Q43A set up. If you could make it into a web browser like Quake Live then you would potentially see 1000x more players or more if done correctly.

and i said there are 10 active players for q4 1.4.2, and there has been 10-20 for a few years

there are no q43a servers on q4master, ingame browser would have q43a in the mods selection menu, and game servers browsers would say q43a for the mod

175 downloaders have a few pub servers to play on, there could be 170 players with a few people running listen/dedicated servers, and any other client that connects to those servers would download the complete mod and be able to run servers

there are no q43a servers on q4master, probaly because everyone is too retarded to start a server and id suck cock and filtered q43a from being listed on q4master

there is only 1 mod that can bring back a pub player base for q4, and it is q43a with all the extras in gameplay casual gamers like and alcoholics get pissed abit more on the cheap duff beer and fosters

Don't get me wrong, I love Quake 4 but I just don't see 100's if not 1000's of people returning there UNLESS something totally radical is done, such as integrating the game into a web browser like Quake Live.

Im pretty sure its possible to do it, especially when ID releases the source code for the ID Tech 4 engine. Im also pretty sure that some people in the community would be willing to help with getting Q43A into a web browser, it would be pretty amazing if it happened.

unless you recode most of the SDK and drivers source, make it all work, fix all the bugs, give the game better performance and add aload of new features

tweak and recode and give physics a better feel, give the game some action/phun/frag fests

Its not just about making a great game. You also need to get it out there, let people know about it and make it easily accessible to anyone and everyone with minimal effort, a very good way of doing that is making it accessible via a web browser just like Quake Live.

Quake Live is failing though because there is a lack of content such as ladders and new maps etc and there's nothing the community can do about it except whine and rage at ID software because its out of our hands. Whereas with Q43A for example you have limitless potential on the content front. But, as I said, you have probably got a very good game there but it just cant get out there and grow in its current form, which (lets face it) is a mod for a dead game. Unfortunately, just having a great game alone isn't enough.

q4 has been dead for years, 170+ people downloading a mod in the past month says q4 is not fully dead, there is no point downloading it if you dont want to play q4 sp/mp

there are no servers for any to know they are playing q43a, or for any casual downloaders to play on as a 1 off or on a regular basis

BTW I just tried to play Q43A but im getting this bug. All I wanted to do was join my own server just to jump around and get a feel for it. See what I mean about it being highly inaccessible?

you have changed the pk4 files, you cannot mix or use another other mod in q43a, only mp maps that are made for q4mp can be used

you will not have any default q4 huds especially the chunky crappy mp ingame stats hud if q43a is all working as it should be

q43a custom_hud.gui is a template to make your own which can be set in mp player setup menu, with q43a ingame mp stats hud.. and both will look like
http://nullnuke.netai.net/gallery.php?op=show...&min=7

you can disable the arena cam effects in player settings menu, you cant delete the gui, its needed, the effects are spectator hud effects in menu

OK I just managed to get it to work, and well, its too slow, what the fuck have you done to the movement lol, its like the gravity is 5x higher than Quake Live, the original Quake 4 movement was waaay better, even when I had haste it was too slow man, that needs to change, it should be more like Quake 3 movement because that is awful im afraid :S

set a custom player run speed in more options menu when starting a listen server

no casual gamer run speed is 470->560, but if have a player run speed of that much, you have to drop the console down and lower the g_hopscale cvar to 0.6-8

if you are starting a dedicated server, rename serverconfig.cfg to autoexec, and edit all of the si_ cvars of how you want game play on your server to be like

its heavy because sp/mp use the same default gravity value,

you all can make aload of custom player model for when the engine is GPLd

sick man keep up the work

there is not much left todo, fix recoding netdemo when acting as a listenserver and add a full network game pause maybe if q4 idtech4 is GPL`d

also download template from http://www.moddb.com/mods/q43a/addons/q43a-cu...l-template and pack will fix the missing nalpalm mesh when player model is used with nalpalm selected

I think p0rt has done more work in the past year than the QL dev team has. No joke.

There are quite a few people who do more work than them, even for the community that the devs are doing nothing for.

brugal, for one, has fixed a few bugs that are still in QL (scoreboard bug, for one, I'm pretty sure is fixed). Not sure if the dynamic lights are still buggy in QL, but they were fixed within the day after I requested it.

It's easy to get things done quick when you have no overhead.

a patch or full release can wait until next year
