back to the topic, There is some kind of 007 mod for quake 2, (you can find it under the mods section at planetquake.com) But it looks like its just a DM mod, not that that would be a bad thing, maybe once the Quake 2 conversion gets a bit better. I think Goldeneye is a great game, and I still play ...

Quake 2 available on budget

This didnt really seem worth starting a new topic for, but I couldnt find the one relating to the new versions of Quake/Quake2/Hexen2. Well Quake 2 has been released on budget for less than ?10, so for those who dont own this when the DC Version gets released there is no excuse! Quake 2 was game of ...

Grunts! - I love a bit of cannon fodder, and they have a funny walk that makes me laugh.

Gauls - Because it's very satisfying blowing them out of the sky.

Zombies - I liked the idea of not being able to kill them... unless you blow them into tiny bits 'Death Becomes Her' style.

well, I think the Quake conversion is unlikley to better the Titanium Studios version, But Quake 2 would be great, even if it is only in software (lets hope we get a GL version tho!) Also Hexen 2 is a good game, that I bought but never really played. It would be nice to play that on DC! This is the ...

I've not really used the sfd player, but I assume it is the format that videos are in, in games. Except for Headhunter, which is Mpeg 4. This looks like a pretty good quality playback, and I was wondering if there is any way to reproduce it (other than DcDivX). My other question is with regards to t...

hey, dont decrease your frame rate, it might look ok if its an anime, but it looks pretty choppy on normal films, 700 kbs is ok, so long as the resolution is not too large. If its a wide screen movie, crop of any black you have and encode at 352x176, but if you want it fullscreen use 320x240. Also u...

well, it sort of worked.
The picture quality at 720kbs was very good, but the frame rate just isnt smooth enough for my liking. Also the video went out of sync after an hour or so on DCDivX (but not on my PC).
In my opinion this isnt really a good alternative.

Hi, Ive been thinking about this. Correct me if Im wrong, but for any given bitrate, the lower the framerate, the higher the picture quality. For example: A video encoded at 720kbs at 15 fps would be (720/15) =48kb per frame which would be equal to A video encoded at 1200kbs at 25 fps (1200/25) = 48...

I have tried it a bit more now, It seems to be *very* resolution-sensative, that is, it will play badly on not very high resolutions. I got it to play a 12 minuite clip ok, except for a short pause at the beginning, in a resolution of 320x160, at 50kbs. This doesnt mean its a useless codec, in fact ...

I have tried the Vp3 codec on DcDivX, and I didnt really get a very good performance. I encoded an 8 minuite clip directly from a dvd, in a res of 352x176, and 40kbs mono mp3 sound, I encoded the same clip at 35, 40, and 50kbs. At 40 and 50 the video output would freeze roughly every minuite, Im gue...

Quake was ported by a team of profesonal coders, Doom was ported by 2 members of the DCDev scene in their spare time. I think the graphics are ok, and there are some nice filter options in the video menu. Also Quake is a Polygon 3D game, and apparently the DC handles 3D much better than 2D. Anyway i...
