Campquake Senate

I was delving into getting quake 1 and pro quake working and I may have run a snag, but that's probably b/c I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing.

I downloaded the game itself, configured my settings... I guess my problem is connecting to our server and playing. I guess the only server we have running right now is:

quake.sctf.net

so in the console I am/should type "connect quake.sctf.net" and then it says it's connected but I can't get out of the console/play the game on the server... what am I missing at this point? Files? more console commands? someone help me out?

I had the same problem. After about 5 minutes it timed out
waiting for the server. Make sure you are running glpro,
and try connecting to a different server, to make sure you
are setup correctly. Runequake is running on quake.shmack.net,
so you should be able to connect there.

There is a really good chance that quake.sctf.net has firewall issues at the moment. I blew up the router there and replaced it in a rush. I'm certain that I've missed a few ports that need to be properly opened to let traffic back on the server.

I'll post a reply to this thread when it's working again.

quake.sctf.net is working now!

Agreed, server is working now.

we should also have SCTF running at server.campquake.net
I haven't touched the server in a while (been too busy!), but last time I was on there it was running.

Campquake server is on the east and Sctf server is on the west.

Old school Quake 1 never had any code for network client prediction like modern server code does. So if you have a network connection speed over about 100 MS+ you'll feel lag in Quake 1. It starts to feel like ice skating! At 200 MS+ you can't hit jack, and people seem like Uber gods. Ahhh, the good old days!

What time do you think you'll be online Dark?

Dark,
You know you have just unleashed the hounds right?

This clan was built from serious Quake "uber gods" as neo put it.

Have fun trying to hit neo or data and forget even getting close to KD....... if CP or serpent play then you might (and I mean might) have some kind of chance of hitting someone other than your self......


Let me know the times and I will reload the package I created last time we brought up Quake....

LOL! Yeah, I recall the old days when I first started on-line games and Doma and KD used to own a server. We were playing over dial-up to a local ISP in Lancaster, California. We used to play Catpure the Flag with an 8 player limit on the server. It didn't matter if it was 6 players against KD and DOMA, those two would win every time. Rounds on a typical game would last about 15 minutes going back and forth between the Red and Blue teams. But with those two on the same side, they would beat everyone in about 3 minutes. And that's when KD used to use the keyboard only! (No mouse at all.)

And to think I even got better once I started using the mouse... lol
I still remember the first LAN party at PTW. Everyone was jealous of your Voodoo1 lol! And everyone kept hovering over me trying to figure out how I played so well without using the mouse.
To be honest, I don't even know anymore!

Honestly though, I think you eventually got to the skill level that Doma and I were at. Then it became if Neo and I were on the same team, it's over. But if we played against each other, we actually had a game!

Ah the good old days. Crap, I was 16! What happened?

Hmm... I see what you mean by the high speed lag. No way around it is there? hmm...

well aside from the maps looking like the normal story level areas when I go on to check it out, it seems like all the binds I have don't work. I just keep getting the message unknown command "blah", like rune use, rune delete, hookshot, etc. Hmm..

Well I'll be on for the rest of today until like... 5 am if you guys wanna catch me, and I'll be trying to resolve my bind issues. Though if you guys have any ideas as to what I should do, that would help a lot too.

*EDIT* Ok I got the hookshot and extra weapons working, still no go on getting runes to work

*EDIT 2* Ok I figured out... SOME... of the runes, as in using them, some are still a mystery to me

Using runes properly is a skillset unto itself.

Death Rune. Punisher. Superman. Clone. Artemis.

Speak for yourself slow boy!

My response to his mad skills was to camp him, then bring buddies to help, and then to recruit him, and Doma, and Neo - all of which could easily hold the title of founder too.

Please visit http://www.sctf.net to research the runes and their attributes....
I will try and locate the quick to the point training session doc that I got from someone (Neo or Data) on how to set up your config file to use all the runes and their powers
