*** Romero (~johnr@idtokay.idsoftware.com) has joined #dwango
<_Avatar_> whoa!
<Aikman> wala
<Romero> hello.
<_Avatar_> Hey there..
<BaCteriaX> hey, how's it goin.
<_Avatar_> Well bud.. the question I'm most curious about:
<_Avatar_> (which has nothing to do with Quake)
<_Avatar_> Didja ever check out my DOOM1 TC patch? (DOOM MUST FALL)?
<BaCteriaX> Thx for the drop in.
<Jawed> Can someone PLEASE Capture this session?
<Jawed> Hi
<Romero> Didn't see the patch, but checked out yer home pag.
<_Avatar_> I am
<BaCteriaX> Heh.
<Jawed> So quake is coming out this year?
*** ViDiOt (jbowyer@usr4.primenet.com) has joined #dwango
<_Avatar_> The home page eh? Well, good enough I guess. Thanks :)
*** |Bar0n| (~baron@cadimages.cybernetics.net) has joined #dwango
*** UncleBob sets mode: +o Romero
<_Avatar_> How will looking up/down be handled? hopefully not with a keyboard function like Heretic
<Romero> Quake should be out by Christmas
<Unknown> romero: heya dude... long time no see
<Romero> We hope.
<|Bar0n|> Hi Romero
<_Avatar_> How'll it handle on a p60?
*** ViDiOt (jbowyer@usr4.primenet.com) has left #dwango
<Romero> Looking up/down is automatic and is also available w/keys
<Jawed> Romero: Will it run on a 486 DX2-50?
<BaCteriaX> Romero: The one question is, how much of a beast is it...
<Romero> Quake will run the same speed as DOOM on same system
<|Bar0n|> Romero: Aikman told us that Nine Inch Nails will make the sound effects for Quake.  Is that
   true?
<_Avatar_> automatic? Weird.. hmmmmm.. why not make it possible to do it with the mouse? i don't use
   up/down on the mouse (for moving.. I wish it didn't)
<Jawed> wow!
<|Bar0n|> cool
<Romero> But you'll need 8mb RAM
<Romero> Yes, NIN is doing SFX
<_Avatar_> rom: Dang.. Good thing I have 16..
<|Bar0n|> Cool!
<Unknown> Romero: are there any open GL video cards out yet?
<Jawed> yeah
<Romero> Looking up/down with the mouse does NOT work well.
<Aikman> John, explain what "environmental" music will be like?
<Romero> We've done tests already.
<|Bar0n|> Romero: if you put music in and let NIN make that too, Quake would be twice as cool :)
<Jawed> Romero: what's the resolution? svga?
<Romero> We don't use OpenGL in Quake, we use span-blitting.
<_Avatar_> Hopefully a configurable resolution/detail level..
<|Bar0n|> span-blitting?
<Romero> no music in Quake.
<Unknown> Romero: What?? you told me you were!
*** Mal (cribas@usis.com) has joined #dwango
<Romero> Quake screen res: whatever you can handle.
<Jawed> I see
<_Avatar_> why not add music where it's neccesary, like if you were in a hypothetical town in a
   hypothetical bar?
<_Avatar_> (With a hypothetical musician playing)
<Romero> We are supporting video coprocessors, but not thru OpenGL!
<BaCteriaX> Romero: Are you gonna use Abrashes 320x240 or 320x200 for the low end machines.
<YossMan> avatar: that's pretty hypothetical
<Unknown> Romero: you said something like "cards with geometric coprocessors
<Romero> Music: maybe little blits of music, but not a soundtrack per map
<Mal> romero : are you using Abrash's 3D-DDD?
<_Avatar_> Any support for my Pheonix so it isn't a total waste of money (well, it came with DOOM2, so
   that was a plus)
<Romero> I'm not sure if we're using the 3D-DDI.
<_Avatar_> Some of the DOOM2 soundtracks were pretty nice.. tho I think we're all plenty tired of the
   music on map01 and map07..
<Romero> We may be.
<Romero> The Phoenix sucks.
<Mal> yea ddi..:)
<Aikman> Romero:  how many players total could combat in a single level together???
<_Avatar_> Thanks <sniff>..
<Jawed> hehe
<_Avatar_> Hey.. I used it.. um, once.. with Descent I think..
<Romero> # of players: whatever the server can handle/has connections.
<|Bar0n|> Romero: could you at least put in a mini CD-player into Quake, so we could have music anyway
   that won't slow down the game speed?
<Jawed> Romero: What about other OS's? Only DOS for right now?
<Mal> Romero : I read all those text files from abrash re the DDI, seems like a good thing to use when you
   support multiple resolutions..
<_Avatar_> What about direct net connections?
*** Harkonnen (arsenaua@IS.Dal.Ca) has joined #dwango
<Romero> OS's - DOS and Win95 first. Then all other systems.
<_Avatar_> How good will the "3rd party" editors be? Hopefully not much like Devil <please!>
<Mal> Win95... cool.
<Romero> Netplay: all possible types of connections.
<YossMan> win95?
<Unknown> Romero, hmm... will the win95 version run any smoother?
<Jawed> What about OS/2 ;(
<|Bar0n|> OS2 hahah
<_Avatar_> Win95 and smoother is an oxymoron..
<Romero> Win95 will run same speed.
<BaCteriaX> Romero: Weapons, are a big question, Are they going to use gravity as well?
<Unknown> ok
<Romero> Probably OS/2, but not immediately.
<Mal> romero : not in a window, obviously...:)
<Romero> Weapons: so far, a HAMMER.
<_Avatar_> gravity for weapons? Whoa.. hadn't thoughta that.. I'm just hoping the non-modern weapons still
   rock
<Romero> ...and a HellGate Cube
<|Bar0n|> Romero: will Quake run 3+ player games running it's server in a computer that has 2 or more
   modems?
<Unknown> Romero: are there going to be too many keys to get get as comfortable with as DOOM? :)
<Mal> hellgate cube.
<Mal> like the old sega game.
<_Avatar_> BIG IMPORTANT QUESTION:
<|Bar0n|> i sure wish there was music :(
<Mal> the sega 3d game.
<_Avatar_> Will LMPs get trashed with a consistency failure!?
*** DrWu (sheldonc@acy1.digex.net) has joined #dwango
*** Neuro (~jlie@libws4.ic.sunysb.edu) has joined #dwango
<Romero> Keyboard input: prolly as many keys as Heretic
<DrWu> unclebob!
<DrWu> cool
<DrWu> oop
<DrWu> sorry
*** ViDiOt (jbowyer@usr4.primenet.com) has joined #dwango
<Jawed> Romero: Will deathmatch work over 14.4 modem?
<Unknown> Romero: shit, thats a pain..
<Romero> We will NOT miss the music, i guarantee it.
<_Benny_> What about the new controller?
<BaCteriaX> Romero: heh, are you guys planning on using Rotating body parts? Like severed heads?
<_Avatar_> Oh.. and I use the R key in DOOM.. making me always have to be the Red player.. that's kinda
   anooying thank you..
<Romero> DeathMatch = 14.4 no prob
<Unknown> Romero: is it true you once got pissed and used Carmack's battle axe?
<Jawed> all right!
<_Avatar_> are there gonna be DOOM style key limitations in Quake?
*** MstrYoda (lsampson@solar.sky.net) has joined #dwango
<Romero> Player = two models, body and head. Head will tear off.
<Jawed> haha
<_Avatar_> (like the before mentioned R key, and the Q key when a demo is being recorded)
<DrWu> hahah
<Mal> romero : what about arms/legs?:)
<Romero> Carmack used the battle axe on my door. Not me.
<|Bar0n|> Romero: well, can you at least have it so, as a default in the original WAD, no music, but the
   ability for players to add music anyway in case they do want music?  or just no music code in there
   whatsoever?
<|Bar0n|> cool
<Unknown> Romero: thats strange, Bodycheck says it was you... guess he's full of it
<Romero> You will be able to customize ALL keys used in Quake, even debugkeys.
<|Bar0n|> did you say "Axe"? :)
<Jawed> Romero: will people be able to make their own levels/music and put it into Quake, just like we did
   with DOOM?
<BaCteriaX> Heh, I can just see it...My friend is watching up at a window, I kill some guy and his head
   goes flying out of the window....Damn fine..
<Unknown> Baron: axe was meant about real life not quake :)
<Romero> We do NOT want music - you are going to be in a total environment.
<Harkonnen> I am back
<Unknown> Romero: ya, hardball said you'll have realistic sounds like water, birds, etc. instead of music
<_Avatar_> Even better than Power Monger, eh? (*joke*)
<|Bar0n|> hehe
<Aikman> hardball knows little to nothing
<Jawed> Romero: is it stereo? so when some creature attacks from the right you can hear it on the right?
<_Avatar_> uh oh.. does that mean it won't sound so hot on a Sound Blaster Pro?
<Romero> Imagine a dark swamp at night. What would that sound like?  :)
<_Avatar_> jawed: Must you even ask that? I could give you the answer to that..
*** [[[]]] (~GEORGE@ip196.in.net) has joined #dwango
<Unknown> Romero: death
<Romero> We will have 3D sound.
<|Bar0n|> crickets, frogs, etc
<DrWu> kewl
<Neuro> Romero: is the projected date of Dec 95 still near the mark? Given the rash of vaporware products
   (cough Mechwarrior II)
<BaCteriaX> We're talkin crickets...big fat crickets.
<_Benny_> It would sound like Pantera to me. :)
<Mal> jawed : duh doom can do that.
<Romero> Sound is 16-bit.
<Romero> 22Khz
<|Bar0n|> what about 3D-vision? (so you can use those blue-red glasses)
<|Bar0n|> or VR-glasses?
<|Bar0n|> 16-bit?
<|Bar0n|> uh oh
<Mal> [Jawed!karim002@maroonx.tc.umn.edu] not on my system.. ?!?!
<Unknown> Romero: christmas is the estimate, but will it actually be like jan or feb '96?
<Romero> Then play a Pantera CD while playing Quake.
<Mal> jawed : your soundcard... it like, sucks or something.
<Aikman> hahahaha
<YossMan> hahahaha
<|Bar0n|> or NIN cd
<Aikman> queensryche, actually
<Romero> VR headsets will be supported.
*** _Benny_ (arsenaua@IS.Dal.Ca) has joined #dwango
<Aikman> THAT music goes perfect to quake
*** ViDiOt (jbowyer@usr4.primenet.com) has left #dwango
<DrWu> use D! (or maybe Q!) and it will play a cd for you
<YossMan> Is it true that you are working with a company to seel VR equipment with the game?
<Mal> [Jawed!karim002@maroonx.tc.umn.edu] SB16 sucks>? since when?
<YossMan> seel=sell
<Unknown> Romero: what do you think about the PARALLAX dudes saying you guess are shit?
<Mal> jawed : since its not working right.
<_Avatar_> But it'll support SBPro of course.. right?
<_Benny_> SBPro? You must be kidding...
<Romero> When did Parallax say that?  Who? Matt or Mike?
<DrWu> Sb16/asp/waveblaster is the BEST card on the market
<DrWu> =)
<|Bar0n|> Romero: i just thought of something... you know those VR-games at amusement parks?  Will you
   sell Quake to those places too?
<Aikman> Skull cracking...
<DrWu> but lets not discuss that now
<Romero> All sound cards with digital output will be supported.
<Mal> wu - wb ... it sucks.
<|Bar0n|> that'd be awesome... playing quake in a room that moves with the actions
<_Avatar_> What Softdisk games didja do?
<Mal> wu : well it doesn't suck.
<Mal> wu : but like, the roland KILLS it.
<Neuro> Baron: I'd think they would sell the client software to anyone
<Mal> wb sounds flat....
<Jawed> what about my Commodore-64?
<YossMan> mal rolands are more expensive big time
<Romero> We did about 12 Softdisk games.
<Neuro> Baron: and as the server soft will be pd
<DrWu> Mal: are you talking about the roland that attaches to  the sb16? I might get one
<Unknown> Romero: will quake run on a 386 smoothly in a 1" x 1" window?
* MstrYoda is gone *Idle, probably taking a nap...bbl*
<Mal> yoss : uh.. no.
<_Avatar_> romer: i still have a couple for my Apple :)
<DrWu> unknown: HAHAHAHAHA
<Mal> wu : get it, kills the pathetic wanna be wb.
<BaCteriaX> Romero: Any magic in quake or is it going to be sheer brute force....
*** Unknown is now known as Ra
<Neuro> Unknown: DOOM doesn' even run smoothly in a 1x1 window :)
<|Bar0n|> Neuro: yeah ... but that'd be kinda tough to port to such a large platform...
<Romero> Quake = lots of magic!
*** Kluster (kluster@phoenix.phoenix.net) has joined #dwango
<Kluster> Whoa
<Mal> quake = hereticx10 ?
<DrWu> Mal: well I had the waveblaster LONG before there was a roland s.....
<Ra> Romero: will heretic 2 or quake come sooner?
<Romero> There's no comparison between Quake and Heretic (or anything else).
<Jawed> quake = (heretic * doom * doom2)^100e99 ?
<Romero> H2 will come sooner.
<|Bar0n|> Romero: will it come out for the Ultra-64?
<Romero> Good equation.
<_Avatar_> Whaddabout Strife?
<BaCteriaX> Romero: Perhaps a spell that makes the enemy bleed.?
<|Bar0n|> or Sega Saturn?
<DrWu> romero: quake will run good on my 486 dx2 66?
<_Avatar_> Will it be any good (strife) for example?
<Harkonnen> What is the plot for Quake?
<Romero> Yes. Yes. Yes.
*** Kluster (kluster@phoenix.phoenix.net) has left #dwango
<DrWu> wow
<_Avatar_> drwu: It'll run at the same speed as DOOM did.
<Romero> Plot? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
<_Benny_> :)
<YossMan> plot my ass.
<_Avatar_> This ain't Dark Forces we're talking about! :)
<YossMan> kill the fuckers.
<Neuro> Plot?  Kill, maim, destroy
<YossMan> good plit.
<Aikman> romero:  You ready for your foosball beating?
<YossMan> plot even
<Ra> Romero: putting aside the fact that Quake will of course be all fancy and stuff, but do you think
   that Quake is to be as much fun as DOOM, honestly?
<Romero> Well guys, gotta go beat Aikman's hairy ass.
<YossMan> ya
<Harkonnen> O laugh at me. O.K. The almighty John.
<Aikman> hahahah
<Aikman> OPEN THE DOOR!  I'm headed up!
<YossMan> shaddup hark
<Aikman> later guyz
<Romero> Quake makes DOOM look like a sad little cartoon.
<BaCteriaX> heh, I got one big ass question...How in sams hell are you guys gonna make a movie out of
   Doom?
<Jawed> haha
<Romero> later!
