Quake Dark Places demo, E1M1 Nightmare 100%

This is my run of Quake E1m1 on nightmare using the excellent Dark Places engine and some great high res packs. If this strikes you as something you'd like to try out, the links for the engine and packs I am using are located in the links below! Also, if you want to know how to add the music tracks to Dark Places or bought Quake off of Steam or a similar service and didn't get the music, drop me a PM and I will tell you how to add the music and give you a link to the tracks for DL if your copy didn't come with the tracks.

QRP > Rygel's

@10samm10 Indeed that's why I use the QRP :)

@ModernDoomer89 Does Darkplaces still support POM?

[ModernDoomer89]

@10samm10 POM? You're going to have to elaborate on what that is, I'm not a big tech guru; though if you use a more "spelt out" term maybe I'll know and can tell you.

@ModernDoomer89 Parallax offset mapping. Making textures pop out of the surface. Its similar to bump mapping but more organic.

[ModernDoomer89]

@10samm10 Ahh. I do understand what Parallax Mapping is. Yes it does indeed support it, though I can't remember if it's the QRP or the Quake HD pack I joined with QRP that has it. The effect works great in Darkplaces though.

Dude! Doom (1, 2, TnT, Plutônia and Ultimate Doom) and Quake are by far my fav FPS till today!

I loved playing the Doom mod for Doom 3 though. It's always nice to see a classic with new graphics owning all the new garbage laying around!

Anyway, I have the Steam version of Quake and I'd like to know how do I add all of those files I just downloaded from your links, including the music, which I agree is awesome!

Thank you for this heads up man!

Epic games for the awesomeness epicness! o/

I might do this level in the future without getting hits!

@ModernDoomer89 The gtx 550ti is an Nvidia GeForce card, my one is the overclocked edition by Asus. I used to be an ATi man but after a lot of research its appared to me that Nvidia have more to offer at a lower budget in the current market. Any how, yes, i agree about the effects being the biggest issue, its drops the fps a lot.

[ModernDoomer89]

@DUBZzDave I'm unfamiliar with those cards (I use ATi) so I can't help you, sadly. I've found though that the biggest performance hit comes from the "Effects," I ended up setting them to Medium instead of high or "Full". The lighting wasn't as good, but 60 fps instead of 30. I don't know why but FRAPS slowed this video down from my average of 30 :S
