glquake users had a slight disadvantage in multiplayer (couldnt see the bright blip on the player models weapon) and more so in sp. finding secret switches in complete darkness? :>

My blog has something very similar to this for Quake 1 and 2 on newer PCs. It’s a good starter for any newbies, and I’ll for sure re-post and link to this great article!

Spirit, this is OT here, but can you simply offer a zip of all the fucking textures? downloading and unzipping all the wads is such a pita :)

I have a Hexen wad for you, too. Hexen 1 I mean.

Properly contrasted lighting looks good on Glquake, too. But, yes, overbrights do add quite a bit – a shame so many engines don’t have this added back in instead of loads of fancy extra bling.

overbright should be standard. as such, we should probably keep it as the target and just write it in the textfile. Or even centerprint it >:-)

Same, I lighted all my maps so far with software as the target. My coag map was bland looking, yeah, but it’s much less bland with proper lighting.

Oh well. I won’t make that mistake again. People expect ZOMG GLquake, and that’s that…

it’s better! zomg! :)
