If your bored have a look at the unfinished alpha it has been released to the public with the sourcecode .. there are many things not yet finished but a full readme .. explains about 99% of things.

Thanks to everyone who helped us out.

Quoted from the readme

Quote:

Like most other multiplayer mods for the D3 engine, enthusiasm dwindled from the lack of a community for player input and developer support. The show pretty much came to an end in August of 2006 when the lead programmer had to stop development to focus on school and a new job.

The alpha is full of issues. The biggest is that it crashes.

we are only releasing in hopes of being useful for the development community.

i'd like to try that but i don't want to install q4 anymore ever on my computer. talk about a fucking disappointment

o_rannibunny · 01-13-2007, 02:58 PM

yeah, q4 was a downer on me, too.
Doom 3 worked on my machine while I was using bittorrent...
Q4 didn't work in lower res and without anything else running on my pc... But now I've got a newer one from a friend of mine ^_^

o_radio · 01-13-2007, 03:26 PM

i tweaked q4 to look like doom1 and it still ran worse than doom3. that is some crappy code right there

Lost · 01-13-2007, 03:36 PM

Hmm, I actually got Q4 to run better than Doom3, thats crazy.

o_sta_sirtiger · 01-13-2007, 03:36 PM

Not to be an asshole or anything, but I won't even bother downloading/playing this. Why? It will never be completed and this release is full of bugs/unpolished mechanics. So why bother - a shame that no one jumped in to help their team; forced them to give up and release something that's 75% done

.

o_qui · 01-13-2007, 03:38 PM

It sounds like its mainly released for developers anyway.

Shame a project dies like that, but then again, quake style team fortress sucks

o_mrmojo · 01-13-2007, 05:05 PM

didnt q4 have really annoying movement? it felt a worse than the previous quake engine

o_mullet man · 01-13-2007, 05:29 PM

That's is too bad the project could not be totally finished before a release, but I am going to check it out. Are there any servers

o_jeff the god of biscuits · 01-13-2007, 05:40 PM

R.I.P Quake.. long live Unreal Tournament!

yeah... because that's not what tfc is, right? lol

anyway, I never had much faith in q4f but it's still sad to see it die (although I've known for a while since I was a tester heh). It was actually pretty decent, had some neat features like adapting q4's nail-climbing system for medics/scouts.

Alas, there is basically no game option to mod for other than source, unless you're just looking for a resume/portfolio addition. Community is all that matters. I really hope ue3 takes off a little but I doubt it will.

Not anymore. Everyone likes the 1.3 movement better than Quake3. The sped up the acceleration. When you add in crouch sliding and ramp jumping to the bunny hopping it makes movement a skill to be reckoned with. I like q4 movement better than any other game.
Q4f doesn't have q4 movement though. That was, in my arrogant opinion, a mistake.

I connected to a server earlier, and played with two people. Ingame go to find a game/server and that server I played on and possibly more will appear.

o_-=bingo-bango=- · 01-13-2007, 10:28 PM

question, will this run on the demo of Q4 or do I have to buy the entire Q4 game to play?

o_sta_sirtiger · 01-13-2007, 10:31 PM

wish i knew the answer to that b/c i will definitely never buy quake 4

Too bad, youre really missing out on the dm and dueling modes. Probably too hardcore for you, but theres no shame in that, the best gamers in the world play quake so its hard to keep up if you don't have a lot of time to invest in practice.

lololol, ur saying that quake 4 DM is good...ahhh that gave me a good laugh
