Doesn't matter if it has enough customization via the UI (TDM binds, etc...) I don't care about picmip or scripts.

agree. I don't want console too.

... :(

Seriously, who the hell has time nowadays to dick around with cfgs etc... I sure as don't.

man, i dont have a car... so nobody else should have one either

i dont drive so like

who has time for that? nobody else should be allowed to drive

There's a difference between saying something should not be allowed and saying you don't care about it, it doesn't matter, or you have no time for it.

It's more like saying, "sure, have your car, but if I have my bike, it doesn't bother me either way whether you have your car".

At the end of the day, a console is just a command-line based shortcut for stuff that can be done other ways, for those who have taken the time to learn the commands.

I can't imagine that QC would not have an internal console for dev purposes anyway, so if there is enough pressure, they'll surely make it accessible to everyone.

thats a good point, gg

I sure have.

You have time to play videogames but you don't have time for editing config files?

Tell us more about your uncompromising Quake lifestyle, you seem to be pretty 1337?

it might not be the most important issue, but simple binds and things like volume scripts are handy and many Quakers are used to them.

will probably be one. Doom has one and it's nice (and quick) to bring it down and type quit instead of clicking the mouse through a few screens...

The current Quake Menus are quite good though.

yeah, I love clicking around on menus like a dumbass instead of just typing a game mode and a map in the console in less than 20 seconds

*less than 5 seconds

It's also very important to be able to export/import and share configs.

console or riot!!!!!

too fast for console :( consoles 360 degree turn needs 30-120seconds to perform

gaming with gamepad is much better for turtle-run simulator than fast paced arena FPS

I think they're talking about the in-game console that you bring down with the tilde key and type commands into. :D

You can turn in console by issuing +left/+right. The default speed is indeed not so fast. You can make it faster by some cvars, so I think the 30-120 seconds value is too exaggerated but you still lose a lot of time to enter those commands. It's only slightly better than gamepad though.

It appears to me that this thread is about the in-game command-line console, not the console that you play games on while sitting on the couch. It seems quite likely that slm is talking about the latter. That's all I'm saying.

But of course, the both of you could know that, and there could be some jokes or puns going on here that do not come across well in text alone.

Just tell them to grab her in the pussy mate.

but why cannot use me QC console while sitting on the couch?

if timenudge and zoom are enabled for console players only, then maybe they can keep up

This topic was discussed in depth here: http://www.esreality.com/post/2862115/qchamps-configurations/

It's not just about configs.. It's honestly a very nice and convenient feature.. there's really no reason to forego it imo..? Like what's the point? the thing has been in quake since 1996.. Unless it's not as much idtech as they want to claim....?

There's no reason not to have a console so long as it doesn't let you issue any commands they don't want you to issue.

They could get their dev console, which they surely have, and just disable all the commands and variables they don't want you to have access to.

Right.. and that's the case with nearly everything that has one... Unless they're just lazy..?

thing is tim said recently that they wouldn't feature one.. it's just one more bad sign of how it's going

I don't think it is laziness because I expect the game actually has one for dev purposes. It's very convenient for a dev.

Did Tim really say there wouldn't be one?

It's VERY convenient for a player.

It certainly can be. :D

would be nice but not allowing all shit&crazy stuff from q3/ql

I just want some sort of bright/colored skins, unlagged RL and a decent netcode. RL atm and not being able to see the teammarker above players are driving me NUTS!

and proper mouse input!

maybe some crosshair too lol

Their doing the right thing focusing on PC. They tried Quake on Xbox 360 with Quake Arena Arcade. Sure it got decent reviews but it wasn't played much. It was pretty big on Dreamcast but that's mainly because that was a novelty at the time and a lot of people that had Dreamcast didn't have powerful enough PCs to play Quake 3.

Yes CS:GO is on consoles but it was a waste of development time. They never carried on supporting the console versions.

I rather them focus their time on making the PC version perfect than compromising to cash in on console sales.

lol... Really...?

Oh you're complaining about something that doesn't even make sense to complain about yet... I see.

Thought it was just bad English.

The manager who is in charge of deciding such things doesn't know what a command line or a config file is. Don't tell id you want console access, they'll just give you a PS4 port.

Apparently, according to Terbo

I'd love to have console in qc so i can sit on my couch and type in cmd with my xbox controller then switch back to my pc and play the game

thank god. we can't have winz being champ again

HAHaaAAAa
