Hello all!

Not sure if I should've posted this in the Rookies corner but here goes, noob question time. Been recently playing Quake again with a modern sourceport and had a blast. I used Quakespasm which retains the old visual charm. I wanted to play the multiplayer too so I stumbled upon Quakeworld, or nQuake. I just found the game looks very different from classicQ which I also found on my quest for the ultimate version of the game. I love nQuake's menu navigation and all that, it's very intuitive and you can use it with a mouse. I'd take it over classicQ's menu any day. But here's the problem: I'd really love classicQ's looks compared to Quakeworld's. Is there a way to have these kinds of textures and lighting in Quakeworld? I like the clarity QW offers but I'd only want to use it for simple items and fullbright player skins. Excuse the bad legoquake screens.

Is this the look you want in ezquake/nQuake?



I did the following:

Got the .lit file package and placed the contents of the .zip into my maps folder.
These files contain info for colored lights in maps, since original Quake does not have colored lighting in maps.

I used the "Faithful" graphics preset as a base.

"gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear" for pixely textures near you and blurry textures when far away. (also try with just gl_nearest)
"cl_rollangle 0" to disable screen tilting while strafing
"gl_loadlitfiles 1" will load the files needed for colored lighting
"gl_gamma 1"
"gl_contrast 1.5" tweak gamma and contrast to your liking
"gl_simpleitems 1" for the simple items

Most of this can be set through the menu, except for gl_loadlitfiles I think. But whatever.

Did I forget something?


Hope I helped

Huge thanks dude! I'll try this out.
