Does anyone know where I can find the models for the characters in Quake III Arena? I’m specifically trying to find a model of Uriel, but I’m not sure if there even is a way to get the models beyond just seeing them in the game. I’m wanting to find them to make a reference in a project of mine of the MD3 test mobs Notch used in Minecraft at one point, but I looked for a while on my computer and couldn’t find anything. If there’s no other way I could try to just remake the Uriel model from scratch in blender or something, but I’m not very good at making models yet.

I’m just a casual Quake fan. One day I bought Quake III Arena. My favorite character was Bones. Mainly because I thought he looked cool. He was just a plain skeleton. I don’t know much about him or his backstory. I was just wondering if you think he’s worthy of his own video game. Like a first person or third person type video game. Please remember to say why or why not. Thanks.

Recently found this video that has some very interesting insight on how influential mods of multiplayer games have been, Quake especially being a heavyweight here. Financial incentive aside, the gaming industry nowadays is focused on making multiplayer games as unmoddable as possible in the interest of preventing cheats. This makes me wonder though, back around when these games released, how much did the accessibility of modding affect the player experience? How did the community and developers deal with these issues at the time?

What are the quake 2 difficulty differences? Im specifically talking about the nightdive port. I don’t know how this information could not be on the internet but I can’t find it. The wiki page mentions the difficulties but It only mentions that hard+ has faster monsters. It doesn’t say anything else about the difficulties which is completely idiotic. What is even the point of having a wiki page If you’re not going to explain basic information about the game.

Is there a port of Quake that the levels work on for MacOs? Latest build, whatever it is called.

Thoughts on Arcane Dimension?

Im new to mods/level packs and saw this high rated mod on moddb and decided to give a try, but it felt so slop

Someday soon someone will train some AI to procedurally create single player and deathmatch levels by examining most existing BSP files and learning what is interesting aesthetically and gameplay wise, and mind you, most of those levels will be top hat including custom new textures etc.

What’s everyone’s favourite level packs to play? I’ve done Arcane Dimensions and all of the Xmas Jam level packs. They are all awesome just looking for more to try! Thanks in advance !

Anyone who’s gone through their share of medieval themed custom maps may’ve ran into this guy. I think he’s popped up in Zerstorer too, and he appears at the end of one of the func mapjam3 levels focused on Zer. He goes by “The Master” or something, custom enemy.

Fuck. This. Guy.

This Wednesday Addams-looking head douche is like an archvile, but then someone decided “Hey, you know what’d be great for balance? If we made an archvile, but the SECOND he sees you, you can’t even dodge his attack so you just take a billion hitpoints! YEAH!” You just shake in place, unable to move a step as you just fricking explode. Like, what the hell?

Granted, the times I’ve seen this dude, it’s in older maps (around 2000 or so, the pic is from Soul of Evil: Indian Summer, which is already known to be tough) so I guess the quirks of making custom enemies wasn’t exactly figured out yet, but geez I have no idea who was smoking what when they programmed this guy even by 2000s standards.

Maybe one of ya’ll older players has some insight as to who this guy is and why they made him so damn annoying, but for now every time I see him it’s a tap of `

I’m playing Quake Brutalist Jam 3 and I’m wondering if theres a way to back out of a map and go back to the HUB area without resetting progress. Some maps are pretty rough and Im looking for a way to either restart the level crom the start or just go back to The Monument to choose another map.

I stumbled upon the custom addon list provided by Immorpher and co. recently, and decided to look at what’s offered. “Euclid’s Nightmare” was one of the few I didn’t recognize (along with Time to Belong), so I checked it out via Quaddicted and Slipseer. 3 stars with only one review? Eh. But if it has Immorpher’s blessing, I figured I could shrug it off and give this a go.

Essentially, the whole premise is that this is Euclidus’ life portrayed via Quake maps (“Extremely frustrated, constantly facing against nigh impossible odds”, as per the Slipseer page), based off a nightmare he had about being in Quake. A set of maps based on life sucking? Sure!

But this had me thinking that this could go two ways: either a surprisingly deep reflection on life, or a somewhat edgy, hardcore set that was more masochistic on the slightly unfair end. I thought about popping this into Quake 1.5 to get maximum Shadow the Hedgehog levels of edge out of this. Though EN uses progs_dump 3, so Q1.5/Quake Combat+ is a no-go given that those mods need an unaltered progs.dat to work. You really don’t see much of the progsdump stuff used, occasionally you might see some health vials and armor shards, but it’s such an afterthought that it seems more like the author remembered he was using progsdump and went “oh yeah, I have armor shards and nail ogres and stuff!”
