Post subject:  Quake 4 1.3 Point Release

The Quake 4 1.3 Point Release is being released today. More information coming soon.

UPDATE: All QuakeCon 2006 Quake 4 tournaments will be using the 1.2 Point Release due to the limited amount of time available for players to adjust to the new gameplay changes, however, all BYOC servers will be running the 1.3 Point Release, so it is suggested that everyone patch to 1.3 except for those who may wish to keep a separate 1.2 copy for use of practicing prior and during the tournament.

Quake 4 1.3 Readme: [ Link ]

Quote:
We've been working hard and playing harder to bring you the release of version 1.3 for Quake 4. This update includes a host of new and community requested features such as: more agile player movement, weapon balance adjustments, a single ambient light option, improved rendering and cpu peformance and much more. We are also excited to introduce some brand new elements to Quake 4:

* New gametype - DeadZone
* New multiplayer weapon - Napalm Launcher
* 8 new professionally made maps
* 4 revized maps for additional DeadZone support
* Buy mode server option that allows you to purchase weapons and equipment.

We hope everyone enjoys the new content, features and fixes! For a complete list of changes, please see the README.

The 1.3 update affects pure server and protocol consistency. Therefore, players who update to 1.3 from ANY previous version will only be able to connect and play against other 1.3 users.
Save games created on any previous version of the game will not be compatible with the 1.3 update.

as posted in GD:

whoa, just had a little playthrough in retrophohlibblbiblbpiolis

the new speeds, very good. it still feels like you have thirtyseven feet though. the napalm gun seems cute, not sure about the damage the leftover thingy does - feels a bit like a lucky killer atm. plusside: you can do a mean napalm jump for less damage than with a rocket :icon14:

forceambientlight is also sexy. im never one for vertexlighting but in q4's case it was very needed. gg raven

Really? I think it's pretty good actually, close range of course. The little lava blobs that fall from the shot are handy if you wanna know when an opponent is approaching when they walk over it.

good work guys - certainly heading in the right direction

Post subject: 

It may just be that I suck with the Napalm Gun, so far.. but I find that I keep expecting guys to NOT walk away from the splash, and they do.. So I need to work it in a bit to get a hang of getting frags with it.

While I have to say my skill level definately appears LOWER on 1.3.. I just got kicked around pretty bad in-game... but I am pretty impressed. I'm not sure Quake.. ANY version.. has ever been this fast. The movement definately makes aim less the dominant factor, and the little weapon tweaks (HB suddenly dangerous) are fun.

I'm so happy I'm not even HEARING my wife fussing about the lack of female models.. :icon25:

/me runs off to duel ..

234meg? FFS, this took me a whole 2mins 13 seconds to download, I want my money back...

Anyways BRB, gonna check these "liquids". I hope they are nice and not half arsed versions otherwise i WILL be doing that odium thang :p

Author:  o'dium [ 08-01-2006 04:41 AM ]
Post subject: 

OMG... These "liquids" are nothing more than a none solid brush with a hurt trigger and "noMarks"...

Wheres the swimables? Wheres the liquids impacts? Wheres the physics?

This was possible in Quake 4 on release, hell, even Doom 3.

Thats not good.

As for the weapon, its bloody pointless. The Napalm Launcher feels tacked on, and really poor at best.

The new physics are wicked though, it feels a lot better than previous builds, much more Q3 like.And the new levels, while some have odd texturing in places, are quite solid.

The only major downside to this PR was the liquids, which are nothing more than a brush with a scrolling texture. I.E. Not good :(

Post subject: 

napalm launcher is a strategic weapon is what i found.. kinda like q3's grenade launcher.

on another note, after i installed 1.3 i have double the maps in my create server list... the usual stock maps and exact copies of those called "[tmp] mapname".
anyone else have this ?

Yes.

You mean, you have the TMP maps TWICE? Or are you just noticing that you have the TMP performance map pack installed, and you hadn't noticed before?

Author:  MKJ [ 08-01-2006 12:58 PM ]
Post subject: 

i never installed any mappack for q4 so im guessing it came with the point release.
wth is the TMP perfomance pack ?

Author:  GODLIKE [ 08-01-2006 02:05 PM ]
Post subject: 

Odd.. I already HAD downloaded the TMP pack, so I didn't notice. It's a bunch of maps modified sort of "pro" to have brighter, easier to display lighting and different item placement. Easier to play on if your PC is weak, and the item placement is designed with competitive play in mind..

hmm this looks like its my fault tbh.

Jolt DM #3 ( 213.208.119.119:2800 ) used to be the 1.2 tmp map server (the tmp maps being used in the league, they offer fps tweaks for people and different item placement) - Last night i upgraded it to 1.3 and made it a general server.

What i forgot to do was remove the tmp2 mappack from q4base :dork: - in all likelihood you have connected and autodl'ed it ?

I did read your post earlier, but the penny didn't drop until i came across dl requests for the pk4 in the server logs.

needless to say as soon as it empties i will remove the offending mappack and reboot her (gonna dedicate her to DeadZone, with all the modified maps in the rotation :)

Author:  MKJ [ 08-01-2006 11:48 PM ]
Post subject: 

that might be it kleeks.

see i never installed the pack, simply because i never had performance issues with q4 :o i connected to a few servers and one of them started moaning about files i didnt have and i cancelled.. maybe it made placeholder files?

what are the .pk4's called? so i can remove the 'offending' files :D

Bounced around a server a little last night after installing the patch and I'm definitely impressed. The speed boost and rocket speed make the game a lot more fun and reminiscient of Q3 CA.

Both RA and CPMA had a CA (all weaps, team vs team) mode... and they don't have the same movement physics.

That said: the new speed is nice.. Maybe I'll even get used to it so my aim comes back. :)
