Ironwail is amazing! 

Eve Online attracted a lot of similar people. Games with strong communities in spite of the stupid shit developers/publishers do are always my jam and Quake has that in spades.

@@db257c there was that one CIA analyst, Sean Smith, who was deleted in Benghazi and was a big guy in the EVE Online community if I remember right

@@ianswift3521RIP Vile Rat (I was a goon from Delve 2 through the peace after the second casino war, though I was on a break when Benghazi happened)

Thanks so much. I a professional editor (for nearly 30 years) but for RU-vid I just do very basic editing to save time. I made a decision recently to spend more time making these videos visually exciting so I am glad you like this approach!

Agreed, I was loving the DOOR transitions. :D Great stuff DumpTruck. :)

Agree, quality video, quality engine release as well. Thanks for sharing look forward to more podcasts as well! One with Andrei has to be on the cards?

I was thinking of asking him yes.

@@dumptruckds actually is a crap source port.

vkQuake is great. Looking forward to trying the latest version.

From a technology POV vqQuake is the more modern option. But the list of new features and quality of life changes Iron Wail has cannot be ignored. I'll sure check it out.

Yeah I went with vkquake. For some reason everyone loves to leave out menu options for crosshair and bobbing (including ironwail) and I don’t want to mess with inis if I don’t have to. It also works on Linux and BSD and Doom 2016 really sold me on Vulkan. I do like ironwail having integrated options for installing mods and Dwell also recommends it so I have a second quake folder for it. The periodic auto save is also a nice touch.

@@dumptruckds hey, quake modding noob, does vquake have the kind of stuff ironwail does for downloading levels and mods? That's a godsend for me to simplify all the maps/modding fiddling and it's the only thing i care about. Could you compare both in a video if suitable?

I don't think it has those features but they could be implemented in the future. I won't have time to do a comparison but i am planning on a larger engine overview. Stay tuned for that later this summer.

What is Quake Rereleased?

@@Razumen It's a 2021 re-release edition from Bethesda (also called Quake Remastered, Quake Enhanced or Quake EX). It came with a new expansion pack (Dimension of the Machine) featuring realtime light/shadows effects on its maps.

@@Tribalquake Yeah I played that, it was just stencil shadows, not real real-time lights.

@@Razumen sorry, i didn't know the proper name. it's beautiful

VkQuake supports the FTE particles and has excellent performance too.

I agree and I am planning on a video for RQ. But these take a while (research and collaboration) so it won't be until later this year.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@dumptruckds these transitions with camera flyout slightly remind about Unreal (1998) intro, which has similar camera flyover.

vkQuake has had it since december 12th.

JoeQuake has had mouse driven menus, map browser and mod browser for years, but no one talks about it. It's also compatible with most custom maps and mods.

The list is huge! It's a major upgrade.

There are more features coming in the next version. Demo playback is great. Have to assume Neharah plays fine in this. It's basically a souped up Fitzquake/Quakespasm.

Wow. That monitor sounds awesome! Thanks for the sub.

@@dumptruckds I just tried out Ironwail and holy cow this is definitely the best source port yet. Not only does it run perfectly smooth, but the amount of features built right into the settings menu without having to use the console is just fantastic. And all of the mods being able to be downloaded right from the game! How did one guy do so much better on this than the team that made the remaster? It's so good.

Just woke up to read this comment and you made my day! Thanks for the sub and welcome back to the scene.

Thank you for the kind words!

My pleasure!

It's really amazing and hard to go back to other ports after using it for a while.

Not a bad choice IMO. But Windows only at the moment.

Agreed You quite often hear that successful game devs got their start modding Quake. Not so much with Unreal!

LOL. You're welcome!

Go and request the feature on GitHub. It might happen one day and I know IW is still in developement.

I'll do a round up video eventually. Was planning on a Retroquad video this summer. Shalrathy? Need to look that one up.

You might get your wish. Baker is working on Zircon which brings new features to DarkPlaces over from Mark V. I'll do a video on it later this year when it matures a little. It's very new. www.moddb.com/mods/zircon-engine

Thanks for watching. Glad you are making Quake content!

Those are built into the latest version of Arcane Dimensions which you can find on mod database.

Quake Dads rule.

That's a map I made for a speed mapping event that celebrated Q3A 20th. You can find it here: www.quaddicted.com/reviews/sm204.html

@@dumptruckds while these all seem to be great works, what I'm looking for are deathmatch maps, in Q1 style with Q3 arches and curved jumppads, etc. Do you happen to know about them? Alkso if you don't have it already, a tutorial on how to make such great curves would be welcome.

My guess is comfort level. By all accounts there are very different APIs and Vulcan is tough to work with compared to GL.

Haha. Good old G4TV. Thanks I'm a professional editor in RL so my videos better be good!

Colored lightmaps should work. Not sure what rounded nails are? If they are in pak files you might want to unpak them and see if that helps.

@@dumptruckds thanks for the hint! unpacking did the trick for lightmaps, not for the nails thingie tho. tried to upload it for you, but yt keeps removing my comment.

Yeah unfortunately no links.

No. But all the content is compatible.

@@dumptruckds Compatible how? Spoon feed me as if I'm a total baby. Also, another great video. Your Alkaline 1.2 video inspired a few of my friends to finally try some Quake sourceporting and it was by messing with that I ended up finding Ironwail. So the hobby is still spreading and the love of Quake persists.

@@battlebunny88 you can find the quake remaster content in mods, I just played through a couple maps, everything works as normal.

i was just testing ironwail and also decided to check how remaster's kex engine is doing. Apparently they fixed some of the performance issues i've had on release and mod incompatibility stuff like missing text lines have also been fixed. I just played some ad_tears from Arcane Dimensions with all the enhanced models and it runs great. If I actually don't run into any issues later the only downside to not using ironwail for me would be not having a mod manager because remaster's mod manager won't show any "unofficial" mods so you have to add "-game" launch argument in steam edit: actually you can run mods from console, just type "game ad" for arcane dimensions for instance edit: i've now played mods with stuff like custom ui and custom weapons and they have no problems either

@@rjawiygvozd Alkaline had some crashes on Kex quake; that’s why I ended up using Ironwail.

I don't think so.

If there's another version of IW (pretty sure there won't be for a long time) you could suggest them. github.com/andrei-drexler/ironwail/issues

idk, r_shadows really didn't look the greatest

It should unless something changed.

The one with the huge bridge is "Raven's Keep" I believe. It's a stand alone mod available on Mod Database and/or Quaddicted.

@@dumptruckds sorry, I should have specified the time. It's 02:22 in the video, a brief glimpse. It's a sunny modern city location, definitely not the Raven Keep.

That would be Ter Shibboleth by Orl

Open the console with ~ and type ui_mouse 0

Not sure about Bunny Hopping but assume it's the same. And yes the FPS de-coupling is from Quakespasm Spiked.

Some engines have switched to frame-rate independent physics. The ones I know are the official remaster, Quakespasm-spiked, Ironwail, VkQuake, and JoeQuake. The ones most recommended to play mods are Ironwail and VkQuake.

In general you shouldn't have too many compatibility issues across the board - IW just works and is based on a well established engine.

@@dumptruckds Yeah, IW is amazing. Am not much of an antialiasing fan, however, it does make the Block-Quake models look more like bits of plastic.

Performance over compatibility with older hardware. By using OpenGL 4.3 it thereby lacks support for GPU's made all the way back to the 90's, but gains massive performance gains on anything made in the past decade, as mentioned. Particle effects could be added later but are not particularly Quakey and not part of its focus really.

You might be confused. This is not a game but just an engine to okay Quake and it's mods and maps.

FTE is an established port that brings a lot of options that other ports don't have. Especially with lighting, networking and models which is the hardest part of making a TC. Also has coding advances. www.fteqw.org/ The other suggestion would be the Zircon engine. Which is fairly new: www.moddb.com/mods/zircon-engine People are starting to use the Godot engine with Quake mapping which is gaining some traction as well.

@@dumptruckds Awesome thank you, also sorry for the late message back. I was gonna to try Darkplaces but I'm having problems finding tutorials and stuff also is making commercial game possible with FTE? If not it's cool, I'm just completely new to game dev. But I love the gameplay feel and look of Quake. Also any advice you can give a noob? lol

Sorry you are having problems! Might want to backup then delete your config.cfg file.

@@dumptruckds thx. i'll try just in case, but the problem isn't with the in-game keybinds. ironwail must read key inputs at a hardware level or something whereas quakespasm doesn't. my keyremapper should work at the OS level to change which text comes up when typing into quake console irrespective of impulse bindings. i don't expect to find any docs on the issue, and i'm not going to dive into the code, tho i do kinda wonder what the change from quakespasm was, and why it was made.

The most performant Quake ports are VkQuake and Ironwail.
