actually i was just pissed at mipa's constant trolls. if he wants to report someone, then use the report button.

so yeah he should get a warning, or fifty.

I re-downloaded some textures now to piss the oldschoolers a little more, see below.

Unreal:
1. I need an artist to do this as I suck at painting stuff, the previous screenshots show the HUD where weapons had different colors btw.
2. Increased the crosshair a little.
3. No idea how it looks, screenshots?
4. Not sure how to do this, personally I think the contrast is okay.
5. The tracker is sized up and moved up.
6. Not possible atm.
7. They are still enabled, I like them too
8. They are transparent now.

the rocket explosions look a bit too visual, could that glowing blob be taken out?

i can imagine them becoming quite distracting in a alot of scenarios

also negative timer wtf?

empezar:
I'll take a look at the glowing blob later, but I don't think it's much of a bother when actually seeing the frames moving.

Aquashark:
Remaining time.

ok, sry for that, i was tierd

the glowing is because of gl_flashblend 1. i suggest turning gl_flashblend to 0 so it wont be a blob. this is true in most every GL Quake engine.

The bloom effect needs to be toned down or eliminated completely. Also, the charset should be checked for errors (black borders on some characters), or simply replaced. Keep it clean, QW is confusing enough as it is without the additional eyecandy...

gl_flashblend set to 0, no more bubbles around rockets, quad, etc. I will soon post screenshots of the other maps now that I got new textures.

ui:
The bloom is very minimal right now, imo it's nice to show just a little bloom for the sake of eyecandy. Certainly its visual gain is much higher than the small confusion it may cause the first minutes when you're not used to it?
What charset does nQuake use? I can just get that one.

charset is obviously a personal choice but my favorite is this one from moondrunk: http://gfx.qwdrama.com/details/77/
because it's easy to read, and still looks like it should be in quake.
i would suggest almost any moondrunk charset over the one you have now.

also better hud numbers too: again moondrunk i beleive is the best in that category: http://gfx.qwdrama.com/details/86/

purplehaze:
Do you get 24 bit skins to work somehow? I can't figure out how :/

Edit: Never mind, I got it working and using PrimeviL's 24bit player skin.

Updates:

The configuration setup is now final, I'll send the pack to DH-crew later tonight.

BIG thanks to purplehaze for helping me out with this, it would never have reached this eyecandy awesomeness if it weren't for him!

oops, someone already ahead of you

Ouch, better delete my files then.

this is a great spectating eyecandy configuration even if for some reason it's not used at DH

so you should not delete the files, but instead create a thread with info on how to replicate this setup, with links to necessary files (i can host them) etc.

empezar:

Relax I was just kidding
I have made a .zip-file with a ready-to-go FTE setup that focuses on spectating and possible bigscreen usage. Dreamhack will get it first, then I will upload it somewhere (if you can host that would be appreciated) for public usage.

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1475924

looks like nQuake setup which looks almost perfect by me, lacking only in the particles departament.

yes, that is most definitely nquake

Did anyone watch the QW plasma screens on Dreamhack running FTE? Leave feedback if you did since I'm soon releasing the pack for public.

Now releasing a beta of the spectating pack. It's recommended to unzip it to its own directory and copy your pak0.pak + pak1.pak to the id1 folder. Also read the included readme.txt!

Get it here (295 MB): http://f.nu/spec/quake_spectating_pack.zip

is this supposed to work with leopard?

lovely eyecandy setup btw!

Thanks. It has been tested to run in Mac OS X, tried chmod +ox?

Thanks molgrum this pak is very nice for speccing/demo. What should I change to turn it into a playable setup? TAB doesn't bring up the scoreboard etc.
I'd like to be able to play with all this eyecandy Can you help me with this molgrum?

terrorhead:
Use a playable particle set, I made one here: http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=26258#p26258
Put it in id1/particles and load it with "r_particlesdesc molgrum". Feel free to tweak it.

Set for example:
cl_muzzleflash 2
gl_bloom 0
gl_flashblend 1
r_lightflicker 0
noskins 2
enemyskin blah
teamskin blah

Use "hud_edit" to edit the HUD.
Regarding the scoreboard not showing up, it's due to a bug in version 2770, try a nightly build to get it fixed: http://www.fteqw.com/fteqw-nightly/

some suggestions:
1. cl_gunz -5 - makes vwep models look better, not long and stretched
2. enable TAB completion by default
3. for spectate.bat use:

@echo off
start fteglqw.exe -particles 100000 +hud_load spectator %1 %2
@cls

so it closes after launching

4. /gfx artwork is missing.. so a lot of low res items (loading plaque, pent loading sign etc.) appear which look really bad on an eyecandy setup like this
5. noskins "0" for being able to distinguish among teams

1 and 3 are fixed. I'll look into 4.

I fixed 4 partly, so I'm on the way to getting it fixed now

I noticed that on certain maps, some models get pitch black due to the lighting in the areas. This is now fixed by making them unaffected by lighting (think of it as fullbright health/ammo).

Thanks for your help. Your particles are nice :
Here's what it looks like

Just gotta sort out some mouse issues with FTE. I can't bind mouse3,4,5 for some reason
