Supremacy! (democall)

Lashknife — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:12:24 +0000

Wow, haven't posted anything in a while, bit frantically waiting to see what the January update will bring - 10 days left so hurry up, idsoftware - but in the mean time, everybody knows everything there is to know about Quake Live so I thought to just promote some stuff that's definitely worth supporting: the mighty awesome creations of the many Quake fans out there.

Xynix asked me to do a demo shout out, so read on for more info on how to overload his mailbox with awesome frags!

Hello Everyone!
I am going to make a new Quake Live Community Fragmovie called "Supremacy".
I am looking for your best, sickest, top frags you have made.
Something like triple airrockets, pixels, flicks, suspends, 100% aim, godly tricky pummels, quad runs, rampages... - crazy shit like that, you know what I mean! :]
Accepting footage from TDM, CTF, Duel, CA, FT, FFA. Please no Instagib. I am not interested in those.

Very important! Please time stamp demo for me. It helps me so much.
Make sure you have your timer counting UP (from 0:00) while searching for frags,
cg_LevelTimerDirection 0
If you want to cut and shorten demo with "Quake Live Demo Tools" (http://qldt.sf.net/) please leave about 12 seconds before and after frag/action for me to be able to capture that.

Timestamp demos using your real nickname and frags like this please:
NICKNAME-MAPNAME(FRAGTYPE-MINUTES_SECONDS)
Real examples:
xynix-trinity(1rg3xfrags-1_04)
xynix-japanesecastles(3xairrocket-16_50)(quadrun-18_27)

Send demos to my email: xynixspam@hotmail.com
You can find me on IRC (quakenet.org) on these channels: #anathema #qlpickup.pl
I think that will be all. Thanks.
xynix

Spam away!

ps: on irc, his nick is xyniu

Quake Live update roundup Jan-Nov 10

InFerNo — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 11:31:57 +0000

Here it is: the update roundup.
I will try to explain and highlight what changed in the past year, besides the fact Quake Live went out of beta of course!
Hopefully you will find this roundup useful and discover new things that were put in the game.

Alias system
The alias system is something a lot of us were waiting for for a long time. If you haven't heard of the alias system or you don't know what it is, you might find it interesting to continue reading: an alias system allow you to create a chain of commands and use it in various ways. An very simple example is /alias aDropFlag "say_team I'm dropping the flag; dropflag" You can now bind aDropFlag to a button and use it as if it was a command: /bind p aDropFlag will now tell your team you are dropping the flag while dropping it at the same time. What is useful now is that you can write your own toggles by creating 2 aliases of the same name but putting + (pushing the button) and - (releasing the button) in front of the alias name.

cg_DrawCrosshairTeamHealth
You are now able to see someone's health by putting your crosshair over them, so you won't have to look at the team overlay anymore. This only works for teammembers that are in your line of sight. Another handy cvar is cg_drawFriend 1 which allows you to see your teammates' friend icons anywhere on the map, even through the walls.

All the mapnames changed
Id Software changed all the mapnames to the real name of the map. For example, "qzdm6" is now simply called "campgrounds". I know this will help a lot of newbies to vote for maps and remember mapnames.

Teamsize
All servers now have a voteable teamsize. Every server has a fixed client size: 16 players can connect to the server anytime, but depending on teamsize, only a few can play. This will allow people to play maps more suitable for a smaller teamsize while specs can jump in straight away if another player drops.

Clans
It is now possible to register clans and use a unique clantag that can't be used by people who are not added to the roster. The option to start clans is only available for Premium or Pro subscribers though, Standard members can still join 1 clan while Premium or Pro subscribers can join more than 1.

Chat tokens
Quake Live now supports chat tokens! Everyone knows how handy these are. You can now tell your teammates your health, armor and ammo status by binding it to a button: bind p "say Health #h - Armor #a - Weapon #w;"

#h - Current health value
#a - Current armor value
#w - Current weapon & ammo count
## - To print the character '#'

Minor changes

Crosshairs now respect aspect ratio
Battlesuit takes splash damage! (but it's still reduced by 75%)
You can autocomplete demonames if you start the line with /demo
Quad has been reduced from 4x damage to 3x damage
There is a 'find' command (case-sensitive) to search the console history

Quake Live update roundup Jan-Nov 10

Quake Live update 15 march 2011

Visual HUD public alpha

Lashknife — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 12:16:23 +0000

I love it when people take on a project that tackles the difficulty for new players - or just makes it easy for the lazy - by creating something for their favorite game. Namad is such a person who started working on Visual HUD: a Quake Live online HUD generator.

I can relate to such projects, when releasing my first version of the config generator, I had to fix a huge amount of bugs, in little spare time, with almost weekly updates and changes to the commands and variables in Quake Live. That was even during closed beta. I can only cheer for a fellow gamer who took the bull by the horns in releasing a HUD generator. And when that person asks me to promote this thing, of course I will spam it wherever I can.

As you can see on the YouTube demonstration video below, the hud generator features the ingame window, with several selectable options like drawgun, weapon bar location and the option to show a grid for easy coordination and item placement. This is also where the snap functionality comes in handy. Various items can be dragged and dropped onto the view, allowing for many customizations regarding font size, color, transparency and positioning.

So far, being in a public alpha state, it won't give you a config yet that you can directly use in Quake Live, but I'm sure that in time lots of extra features and fancies will be added to make this a very good tool for old and new players. But if you can't wait to try it out, then make sure to peek inside the FAQ to get going.

Do the DK!

Lashknife — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 07:35:25 +0000

Here at Holysh1t.net, our main focus lies on helping out the players in any way we can. Be it through our own collection of tutorials, guides and help articles, or by promoting external sources that look promising.

Recently Deka, a player of the successful TDM team 4Kings, has launched an initiative called Do the DK

DK
I decided to start this site because I can't really read that much about the tdm scene, like news, basics, tactics, where to play, how to play especially for those who are new to the game.

So in general, a true focus on how to play competitive TDM, with contributions already of JoCKo, Dash and Chance.

So far, two mapguides are up and surely more tactical views on Quake Live will follow!

Grim Dungeons (qzdm14) by DK
Deep Inside (ospdm5) by JoCKo

Since yesterday, you can harass them with your questions as well on IRC. Visit them on Quakenet in their channel #dothedk.

Disasterpiece by titan

Lashknife — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:43:06 +0000

Remember titan - see what I did there? - who made Flagaholics? Now that was a nice piece of work, assembling great CTF moments!

Well, titan decided to have another roll of the dice and created Disasterpiece!

This time not purely CTF, but again a series of great frags, cool moves, flag runs, air rockets, combo shots and more!

Enjoy embedded here, or in our specials section for larger size viewing pleasure!

(afaik no mirrors yet)

So! Dreamhack is near!

The main event of Dreamhack Summer 2010 comes down to the Kaspersky Quake Live Duel Tournament.

First we have the BYOC Duel tournament which fills up the remaining 3 slots of the main round, but what we all want to know from you is...

Vote below!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Names are not alphabetically sorted, but by group, so per 4 of each group. This way you maybe can predict better who will come out on top of each group before voting!

Notice I included the BYOC-spots just in case any of you thinks that rapha or dahang or chance will pack their bags and drop down to Sweden for some good ol' QL action!
