r/quake

Anytime I try to join a server, it says “vpn connections are not allowed” before saying “incorrect challenge”. However I do not have a vpn active so I don’t know what the first message is about. It’s been happening on every server, even supposedly active ones I find on A51 and q3retro

I’m on port 27960

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am fiending for classic quake 3 lol

Got my interest back in graphics and always wanted to recreate the FPS movement of Quake, while also loading the Quake 3 map that I played for thousands of hours.

The engine support glTF (PBR), skinned meshes, animation and more. Integration with the Jolt physics engine and Imgui.

The driver back-end support Vulkan, D3D12, D3D11 and GL. Also ported for Android.

I've the project as open source: https://github.com/0Camus0/T850/agents?author=0Camus0

I do this for fun, but I might make a small game.

I recently got into quake so kind of late to the boat but I just want to say the single player bot ladder campaign in quake 3 is actually really fun and badass. The AI is incredibly advanced, especially for a game from 1999, and the map design is really good. The progression from tier 0 to tier 7 is really satisfying with a nice curve in difficulty and depth. It’s also good practice for the multiplayer and shooters in general. Most people say the game doesn’t even have a campaign mode, but it does and it’s fun and good practice. I wish quake live and quake champions had something like it

First time they’ll all be at QC together and first time in the same room since 1993!!!

I bought the game outright and wanted to experience a classic. Every time I load the game I spin into oblivion and can’t control the character. Any ideas? I’m tired of buying something I don’t get.

I am a somewhat experienced doom modder who has recently gotten into Quake, because the engine seemed much more open and flexible for modding purposes than Doom, while also being far better optimized for handling certain things like 3D objects or floors. However, trying to study Quake's internal mechanisms (QuakeC) has been overwhelming, especially because modding materiel (like, for example, accurate and simple guides, example mods to show how mods work, modding programs like SLADE in Doom, repositories, etc.) is pretty much nonexistant (aside from a couple here-and-there, but even then, it's not at all as user-friendly as Doom is). The Quake engine is great, and is one of the only engines which my potato can run smoothly, which is why I really want to mod something in it, but I just don't know how to start. Despite looking in the Quake wiki as well as other social media sites (AKA Just Reddit), I still feel just as clueless as I did starting out. Please help; anything would be appreciated.
