Hmm... thought I wrote a reply to Sam17 before... guess not.

No there is no such thing as a complete list for quake mods. There are a few reasons why it would be impossible to make one.

1) There are litteraly thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of mods out there. Often there are multiple versions of the same mod. (if the person running a mod on a server doesnt like a feature or thinks a feature is missing they add/remove/replace that feature making a new version. Some people go through the trouble of adding/removing things just for their own single player enjoyment too.)

2) there are thousands of unreleased mods. Many may never be released. Some may be released tomarrow (not really just an example though)
I have 4 partly finished mods on my computer right now. A couple could be released as betas if I really wanted. (and Im not even a regular mod maker who works almost daily on quake anymore) Imagine how many mods some of the hard core coders have sitting around but havent released for one reason or another.

There is a couple mods Ive been looking forward to for up to a year that havent been released (Star Wars: Dog fighting for example)

The way you are thinking is possible, I have a few mods on one disc *BUT* at the moment sound does not work. If I can get it sorted, thedumbass is helping me, it will no doubt go up on his site, but until then I don't know.

all im thinking (without seeing th ecfg) is putting the mods into a folder and writing a prog that will just let you browse the disc and load the pak fle you want, seems ok to me... though who's gonna write the prog...

Ok... I get it.

You cant simply edit the cfg files or pak files and get them to load from a differant directory. You cant in GLquake eather.

The way quake is designed it loads from the ID1 folder always. I figured out how to hex edit the EXE and get it to load from a differant folder. (Not sure if Gooee figured it out on his own or found my old exparaments) This means you have to have an exe and corisponding folder for each mod and a way to pick which exe to use.

Gooee is using a winCE based menu called CEloader to try this out. But like he said... sound doesnt work at the momment. I'm in communication with TheGypsy about this trying to find out why the sound would be messed up. (looks like something in DirectSound to me right now)

The cfg files for QuakeDC are exactly the same as they are for PC. So if you have the PC version you can just look at them.

CEloader is a program coded for and compiled for both Dreamcast's WinCE and WindowsNT.

It is legal and is distributed with source code. The distribution doesnt contain the WinCE folder. So you'd have to use the WinCE folder from something else (QuakeDC)

Im not sure how well it runs or even if it actually loads WinCE files on WindowsNT I just know it supposed to. Seems to work somewhat well on Dreamcast though. Not positive but the sound problem mentioned above seems to be caused by it though.

Notice the name change (gooee --> gooey)

A repost of the mods that worked

Quake rally

raptors revenge
