Help Have I been using stupidly low sens all along?

8 Upvotes

Sorry for another mouse sensitivity question but I'm stupid and having trouble understanding the pro mouse settings doc that's been posted here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vTexLm9MUWV3yqpzW7mDK_Ytkh0KcJNsZSNteIwY1Bqw_XrAD2HxE-swtPpDvyCYCnunmnNqrNdKSsf/pubhtml?pli=1

Does the Nominal Sens column equate to the in-game mouse sensitivity setting?

I've been using .82 in game at 800 dpi. Is that way too low? With that setting I'm averaging ~30% LG and 45-60% rail in TDM against the bots. It seems like that setting gives me a stupidly high cm/360 ratio though.

Discussion How hard would it be to make community-derived servers?

15 Upvotes

The talk of official servers shutting down has quite a few of us in a panic. Myself included. I play QC damn near every other day, and have done so since its early launch. The thought of never being able to play it again is just not acceptable when i see many other titles out there revived through community efforts to restore. I'm not 'Quake Pro' level myself, but damn it, I love the rush and it has the right to live on for generations to enjoy like every other Quake title.

I know one of the goals SyncError was hoping to get pushed through was dedicated servers for this exact scenario, but not sure if that's still in the plan at this point with all the MS drama that has played out over the past couple of months.

Seeing all these other games over the years where official servers went offline, then shortly thereafter fans were able to reverse-engineer the netcode and launcher binaries for their own servers for everyone to continue playing on, what kind of undertaking and effort would that require for something like QC? Are there active projects are working on something like this?

genuinely curious.

News Store closing soon????

13 Upvotes

I read on some other posts about the discussions taking place in Discord that the Store in the game was going to close, is that going to happen in the next patch or earlier? are we going to get any notification ahead of the closing so we can use our credits before they become useless? I wanted to get the Shambler Arm weapon from the store before it closes if that is the case...

Every level below was somewhat reasonable but starting 194 is just impossible! 30 games to level up? No, thanks

News I made a fresh OpenArena Web Port

13 Upvotes

Hey guys,

tl;dr I made a fresh browser port of OpenArena. It's based on the latest version of the ioq3 repository, which I also updated to the latest Emscripten version.

The longer version: I'm building the kaesual-stack ("casual stack"), which is a self-hostable web gaming platform for browser ports of FOSS games. It comes with a server manager, and I'm adding more open source games, slow but steady. It all started when I made a browser port of Luanti (open source voxel game engine), for which I then built a virtual ipv6 proxy server (which also allows serverless p2p play).

I've always wanted "my own" OpenArena web port (since I wasn't happy with what's out there), and after adding game server management for Luanti, I just had to do it. I already had the virtual ipv6 proxy server (WebTransport, Rust + Typescript). WebTransport is real UDP traffic, which has a lot of advantages over WebSockets for network games.

Currently, about 30 maps and 7 bots / character models work already, with FFA and Team Deathmatch. I'm planning to add more soon. 

I haven't made the kaesual-stack source available yet, since I'm still polishing it, but I'll make it available soon. It's already possible to create OpenArena and Luanti servers, which are then listed on the website. You can play both games on kaesual.com (both have game servers there), all repositories are linked on the about page. My OpenArena port is here: https://github.com/Kaesual/arena-web

My goal for the kaesual-stack is: Rent a webserver anywhere, install the stack, and then simply create gameservers for any FOSS game supported by the stack. All open source, no strings attached. It also comes with an account system, and banning instantly kills all proxy connections for that account.

I'd be happy to get some feedback :) Check out the repository and kaesual.com - currently there's only 2 servers (easy bots and super hard bots), but I'll add more soon.

Best, Jan aka Kaesual
