Great work.
Though it is hard to realise from the screen shots that the dynamic lights are not precomplied lightmaps. Thats probably catching people out.

p.s. q2e is the only way to play on xp :D

Its the FIRST game to do real time stencil shadows & if you watched the gf3 launch video of the G5 mac you would of heard john carmack saying that for the first time hardware was starting to come out which could handle real time stencil shadows. iD wouldn't program a ray tracing game engine if t...

delete the q3config file, a new one will be generated which will have defaults which should work. Or just delete it totally then ONLY install the OS-X patch & copy the pak0.pk3 file to your newly created baseq3 folder. (i'd do the second if i were u) ;) re crashes , they are almost certainly due...

all you need to do is... either delete your q3config file in the baseq3 folder OR completely delete your non-working install, then... 1 run the os-x 1.32 patch (this will install the game but without the pak0.pk3 file) 2 get the pak0.pk3 file from your q3 install disc & place it in the baseq3 fo...

its a simple case of installing the os-X 1.32 patch , then placing your pak0.pk3 file from your prevoius install , into the baseq3 folder created when the patch was installed.

I use it on my mac mini & it runs a treat :)

if thats the case then iD are certainly missing the boat. With D3 i excepted that they decided for a narrow scope. Because they provided a new gen engine which worked a treat in dark spooky corridors & i could also understand that they wanted to keep the performance good enough for GF-3 cards (e...

Thanks for the explaination o'dium :D Your right that FarCry has a more modern gameplay feel to it. But iD made no bones about D3 being a simple scary (boo!) fps & a remake of doom. I'm sure that they are now looking at developing other aspects of game mechanics for their new rpg? game, esp sinc...

well a sig is a form of endorsement is it not?

And it seems weird to endorse something that you think is dull & boring.

Still it's a free world.

Nice to get some idea what to expect of the game.
Not sure I'll purchase it though.
Also a couple of questions for o'dium.
If Doom3 is a weak, dull & boring game, why have a Doom3 based pic in your sig? And why buy RoE?
