!!!!!

I've always dreamed of making a Quake Mod for Unreal. I have no skills in it, but can't hurt to dream. If I knew how to work with S3M or IT music files, I'd remake the music for it.

Can't wait to see this.

Quake has full source: all sounds, mdl, maps etc.

Quake 1 has CD music....

Wolf is right. I'm a big NIN/Trent Reznor fan and I actually have this Quake album because he did it.

(Not everyone has the CD to play with Unreal)

If you can send me an .mp3 or .wav of the Quake music I can quite easily convert them to a .uax or .umx file, etc. No problem.

heh...im already doing that Buster

and don't expect this to soon...we LITERALLY just started this project....but were going to release it by the episode (if u remember in the first quake there were 4 episodes) so it should come soon enough....as long as ppl are willing to help

I heard how you can do that, but it all comes out Mono and low quality. Is there a better way?

I wish you guys all the luck with the project!

What? Are you telling me there are people who have illegally copied this game without buying it? This cannot be right, nobody on Earth would do such a wretched thing

Talking about legal, I do expect that while iD Software may have opened the sourcecode to Quake and Doom, it means that the ENGINE is free, but that does not go for any of the game content. If a lawyer sees your project, you may get in trouble (so yes "Doompawns" is "dangerous" too in that regard).

technically, if they chose to do anything, they could nothing until we advanced past episode 1, since the first episode is available online for free. along with all the textures and models needed for that episode.

I wouldn't take that argument into court.

In regards to the project itself, well... I'd prefer to see some new content, myself. Everyone (generally speaking) has played Quake, so there'll be no surprises.

In my opinion, focusing your energies on something fresh and new for the community would be more rewarding. Then again, I'm guessing the co-op crowd are salivating for it, so hey, whatever.

Props for the enthusiasm, and when you make a release, I'll definitely play it.

LOL!

Yeah ur prolly right too

i know I am

But yeah i'm sure we'll do something different to enhance it so its not EXACTLY like the original Quake....also....just think....you guys will also now have QUAKE PAWNS!!!! instead of lowsy Doom Pawns

I'd love to see a Skaarj take on a Shambler.

My money is on Shambler.

Post by **Buster** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 10:02 pm

I'll take some of that action, if you'll accept Canadian currency.

Rob-Bot · Post by **Rob-Bot** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 4:02 am

Yeah I can't wait. And the shambler would pwn the skaarj with it's lightning

!!! Oh and I told matrix about a program that can convert the models (quick3d) but from what I hear the textures get lost in the process... :/ But no worries he says he will find a way

.

Shivaxi · Post by **Shivaxi** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 6:18 pm

The first thing im going to do when the pawns get converted over to U1 is make an area...summon shambler and skaarj....and invite everyone into my server XD

And yeah we're (matrix is atleast) having a problem getting the textures to port over....any help would be real nice

Rob-Bot · Post by **Rob-Bot** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 2:54 am

hmm he probably just needs a better program ive been searching all night for one... hopefully something will come up

PRIMEVAL · Post by **PRIMEVAL** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:10 pm

Just curious, any updates / progress on the project?

I've only played Quake2...

Shivaxi · Post by **Shivaxi** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 2:46 pm

Currently, I don't believe there to be any updates yet....unless Addy has made some break through lol.

Although I did successfully import the first intro map into Unreal...the one where you start out in where u choose your difficulty level and such...

Texturing is going to be a bitch though

Adaghar · Post by **Adaghar** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 4:54 pm

nothign has really gotten done, since matrix told me he'd get me the textures, and i don't have the textures. so i haven't worked on converting anything...

But i'm gonna talk to him today.

But like shiv said, texturing is going to SUCK.

EDIT: Ok, talked to matrix

turns out, he can't find textures for the maps...

he's only found textures for the menu

annoying, i'll look later.

EDIT 2: so we foudn tehm, but can't get them out...
idk yet, matrix says he found them but he's not sure where he did...

i really don't knwo what he's doing... but now we have someone else trying to get the models in so, hopefully somethign good will come from this.
