you don't feel like creating a no-reloading mod for Quake 4 while you're at it, do you? :D

Sweet...
Btw: in older version using command console was quite difficult, because it was unreadable. Does it work propertly in the new version of your mod?

Console works fine, but you might want to take a look at my comment if you want to be able to open it with the "`" key.

You missed the point, man. I can open console, the problem is that it's unreadable for me. All i can see are thick squares, instead of letters and numbers. I had to type commands in blind πŸ˜ƒ

No I got the point. That's why I said console works fine. The rest was just helpful info after I'd encountered some issues. Is your install still doing this?

It looks like this, probably one or more pak files was corrupted during installation. I didn't check game after installation just added mod files then launched it. I'll reinstall game later, to see if it helps :) I.postimg.cc

I've no idea why i see it only in big squares, same thing is on loading screen. Perhaps one of pak files was corrupted during installation? To be honest i didn't check game after installation, just added mod files then launched it. I'll reinstall game, to see if it works πŸ˜ƒ

Found a small bug. In the autoexec.cfg file. There are three lines that don't have the correct double quotes:

seta com_allowConsole β€œ1"
seta image_useNormalCompression β€œ0”
seta image_filter β€œGL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR”

It should be changed to this:

seta com_allowConsole "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "0"
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

The left quote on com_allowConsole is set to a curly quote. Same for both double quotes for the next two lines. Took me forever to figure out why my damn com_allowConsole wouldn't stick lol. Works fine by replacing the curly quotes with double quotes. I don't even know how this could happen. In all of my years of programming, I've never once encountered this in any IDE or text editor. It's almost as if you edited the code with a word processor? I can't think of any other reason this would happen unless it was a copy paste thing.

thanks I'll fix that most of that was all from the white box fix so yes it was a copy and paste thing

Either way, great job on this. It looks fantastic compared to the original. I just made a comparison video, and it looks a thousand times better. Thank you for this. =D

I have no issue with that. I'll have to find some time to finish up the video, but if you just want to use the clip I posted, this is fine.

Some of the marine npcs have a bunch of black textures on their face and cloths that look they're suppose to be like shadows to their features but some of them are way too dark. One of the marines has his entire lower lip blacked out and another has jet black eye sockets. is this a bug? I Tried redownloading and installing the mod but its the same. Everything else looks really good

2.1 works perfectly and looks great. I couldn't get 3.0-3.2 lite to run without major graphic glitches.
