Bug fix: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/423 ... ugFix1.wad
Spoiler:
Quake Stuff ULTRA is a mod that ports Quake 1's weapons, monsters and powerups to Doom, and uses the actual models from Quake.
I made this mod for 2 reasons:
1. because I think the quake's single player is kinda of underated. Everything feels so brutal, barbaric, but people mostly remember Quake for it's multiplayer experience. Don't get me wrong, Quake's online Deathmatches are awesome, but I think the Single player deserves some more love than it got.
2. because I can't get a descent ping on Darkplaces's Quake world servers for shit.

When I made this mod I had Zandronum in mind, but it seems to work fine on GZdoom.
Also, why the "ULTRA" in the name? Because I tried porting the quake's stuff to doom before, but it was really poorly scripted, and used qdoom's low-res sprites.

FEATURES:
*All of the weapons from Quake and it's mission packs.
*All of vanilla Quake's monsters, and a lot of monsters from the expansion packs.
*All the health items, armor and powerups from vanilla Quake and some from the expansions.

STUFF THAT'S CHANGED FROM QUAKE:
*Vore's fireballs don't follow you around corners. Because Zandronum's incapable of of doing that without some ACS magic.
*Since Doom maps weren't designed to have enemies that can only be killed with explosives, the zombies can also be gibbed with a close range SSG blast, Axe alt fire, and Mjolnir Hammer.
*Horn of Conjuring spawns only 4 different allies as of version 1.9, and they're mainly sligthly buffed versions of their evil counterparts.
*Runes act as upgrades. Each gives you a new ability(except for the Earth Magic rune, that acts like a megasphere)

What's to come:
-Make the powerups behave more like their quake counterparts, as in, have they play the sounds they do when running out, making the pentagram of protection change the armor count to 666, and have the invisibility ring leave only your eyes visible.
-Software mode "lite" version

Can you make sprited versions of the monsters? I would love to use them.

That's nice, I nearly got a feeling I play Doom on Quake engine. Good job!

Seconded. Believe it or not some of us can't play Doom in OpenGL, or in some cases just don't like models. Include qDoom's low-res sprites, please, if at all possible.

Thanks.

I'll look into that. I could take hi-res screenshots from the Quake model viewer, and they'd look something like Samsara's Ranger. And since all monsters and weapons are done, It'd be easy to maintain both the Gl and Software versions.

I am, quite frankly, impressed! The behavior for the creatures is nearly spot-on, and I love how you handled the lightning effects and such. Still, I'd love to see those kinds of effects used for the Quake 1 lasers and fireballs that enemies shoot, which in Quake 1 were sort of bland! Also, like how you handled a new, secondary attack for the axe, perhaps make Thor's Hammer feel more 'weighty' in it's attack.

In terms of sprite <--> model use, I'm sure you are aware of the Quake 1 spriting efforts where they're more DooM-friendly than model-rips... of course for monsters only the dog and Vore are done!

Maybe eventually a few things from QUOTH can make it in here as well - Ogres who shoit nails, flying drones and baby vorelings, as well as Gargoyle-Drerelicts would fit in here quite nicely!

A minor nitpick: the name tags for the weapons are all messed up. You have 3 rocket launchers, 2 brass knuckles, and a bfg 9000.

There are already enough Quake TCs with sprites, no need to do this again. Awesome work btw!

This is beautiful. I've been looking for a few years for a project with improved resources to help shore up the Quake stuff I was using. Would it be alright if I borrow resources (with full credit where due, of course) from this to fill in my gaps?

Fun idea but needs more polish

Sure, no problem.
I only ask for credit if you use the scripts and/or the Doppelganger skin.
Since the models themselves are made by ID software, credit is not really necessary.(but would be appreciated :wink: )

Great, thanks. My real interest is in the player and his arsenal, but I'll definitely credit your efforts for helping me get closer to my goals. :)

Then these sprites could just be merged with this project, and turn this into the Ultimate Quake TC For Zdoom, that can perfectly work both on OpenGL and Software.
