QC:DE v2.7 is out! (With 100% more Dusk Dude)

[MFG38]

Question: Have you ever considered implementing a music system that is similar to the actual Quake Champions, where a different tune plays depending on the player's position within the scoreboard?

I can't think of a way to implement such a thing.

[Skafsgaard]

I am just in awe of this mod. It's incredible.

As for the monster packs - would it be possible to release them as stand alone packs, so you can play with them in other mods?

[DBThanatos]

It's possible, albeit kind of a very low priority ATM. Many things regarding the monster addons rely on the "host" game, QCDE to perform actions. So it would require to create a separate host. We want to do it in the future, but it's just not there yet

Also, can this thread be moved to Total Conversions? As of v2.2 it already contains 29 QCDE-unique maps (not "Aeondm" nor "Neondm", but fully original (well, ports of) maps).

You can do so by pressing the report button on your original post and selecting the option for moving to a different subforum.

And the latest version was released: v2.5

Here's the highlights

Code: Select all • Expand view

➢   The Last Official Champion: Painkiller. Roster closes at 30 champions*
➢   5 New Maps:
   - "Vale of Pnath" by DBThanatos. Based on Quake Champion's
   - "Quarantine" by RooTer. Based on Quake Live's
   - "Lh'owoken" by DBThanatos. Base on Quake Champion's Awoken
   - "Placebo Effect" by DBThanatos. Based on Quake 4's
   - "Molten Falls" by DBThanatos. Based on Quake Champion's
➢   Drastic rebalance of abilities in PvE, making them stronger and rarer on average

* "official" because we're bringing soon a feature to allow custom champs in the future. There's a possibility that a few of the custom community-made champs may eventually be added to the official roster

Bleedin' Gorgeous, and Bloodily nice work. Nice to hear that Infuscomus got remixed!

Music addon does not work without QCDE?

Please can you make it work independent?

[StroggVorbis]

Is it intentional that the starting machinegun and nailgun only take ammo every 2nd shot fired in full auto?

[DBThanatos]

Michael Markie doing awesome stuff as usual. He really made some fantastic covers of various themes for QC:DE

Music addon does not work without QCDE?

Correct. It used to be able to be run without QCDE. It was a music randomizer that you could run with any other mod; however, this started to become a problem for people who would't want to download the 150mb worth of music to play a few games in deathmatch. So we had to make it a completely optional package that still runs the appropriate themes in the QCDEmaps and AeonDM mapsets. The price for making it optional like that, is that the music randomizing system actually is inside QCDE

Is it intentional that the starting machinegun and nailgun only take ammo every 2nd shot fired in full auto?

Yes. That's exclusive to PvE. Both weapons being starting weapons were meant to be very weak considering the upgraded versions are easy to find and completely replace the weak ones. We found that weak weapons using 1 ammo per shot was a bad deal for the player ammo-wise. And increasing the damage so that the cost of 1 ammo was worth it, made the weapons too strong. So the middle point was to make them weak, spend "half ammo" per shot (AKA, 1 ammo every other shot) and that worked pretty alright.

registered to say: what a great mod! the maps included are the best choices.

I have one minor nitpick: in Zandronum (included with QC:DE v2.5.1 standalone), if you hold down the zoom button, you cannot fire the railgun/machinegun at the same time.
from what I can tell zoom is a toggle command, is there a way around this - to make it not a toggle and allow firing weapons while held down?

[DBThanatos]

While we originally intended to finish the roster at 30 champs, the opportunity came thanks to Nash taking comissions, to make sprites for this guy, and well, why the hell not? I guess we broke our "final champ was Daniel" statement. Sorry, not sorry

QC:DE is low-key one of the most impressive mods going around IMHO. Way more effort put in than a demake mod typically gets. Those remixes of modern maps in the style of classic games are just eye-popping!

[Captain J]

Dusk is getting more attention and goddamn, it really should be! The trailer is very accurate to the original game.

Thanks! If I cant create anything original, at least I can copy and mix things from different games!

But really, this project managed to get me into mapping and I love having fun remixing maps

Thank you! This trailer took me far too long because I really wanted it to be "special". Whether I succeeded or not, is very debatable


BTW, v2.7 is out! Links as always in the 1st post.
