you ever feel like the quake community has the most talented people ever? it's a tiny community, but there are so many "heavy hitters" who work as engineers/scientists and then make stuff for quake on the side.

[@db257c]

Eve Online attracted a lot of similar people. Games with strong communities in spite of the stupid shit developers/publishers do are always my jam and Quake has that in spades.

vkQuake is great. Looking forward to trying the latest version.

[@chpsilva]

From a technology POV vqQuake is the more modern option. But the list of new features and quality of life changes Iron Wail has cannot be ignored. I'll sure check it out.

[@db257c]

Yeah I went with vkquake. For some reason everyone loves to leave out menu options for crosshair and bobbing (including ironwail) and I don’t want to mess with inis if I don’t have to. It also works on Linux and BSD and Doom 2016 really sold me on Vulkan. I do like ironwail having integrated options for installing mods and Dwell also recommends it so I have a second quake folder for it. The periodic auto save is also a nice touch.

[@guillermojperea6355]

@@dumptruckds hey, quake modding noob, does vquake have the kind of stuff ironwail does for downloading levels and mods? That's a godsend for me to simplify all the maps/modding fiddling and it's the only thing i care about. Could you compare both in a video if suitable?

[@dumptruckds]

I don't think it has those features but they could be implemented in the future. I won't have time to do a comparison but i am planning on a larger engine overview. Stay tuned for that later this summer.

[@scottchiefbaker]

If GZDoom enables the developers to give us Selaco, I can't wait to see what Ironwail will give us.

[@theopenrift]

Ironwail blows the remaster out of the water so hard it's almost embarrassing.

[@Tribalquake]

These new features are awesome! I think the only thing that it lacks it's a strong particle system (like QSS) to support Arcane Dimension's special effects (like smoke, custom trails, blood splats, rain, snow, etc) and realtime light/shadows to support those new maps from Quake Rereleased :)

[@Razumen]

What is Quake Rereleased?

[@Tribalquake]

@@Razumen It's a 2021 re-release edition from Bethesda (also called Quake Remastered, Quake Enhanced or Quake EX). It came with a new expansion pack (Dimension of the Machine) featuring realtime light/shadows effects on its maps.

[@Razumen]

@@Tribalquake Yeah I played that, it was just stencil shadows, not real real-time lights.

[@Tribalquake]

VkQuake supports the FTE particles and has excellent performance too.

[@gorofujita5767]

It would be amazing if you did a detailed video like this on *RetroQuad.* I love the look it gives to Quake Maps, somehow making them crispier and more moody. It all feels rougher, darker. Sometimes like it is a lower resolution rendering of much much higher res textures (like scaled down 4k). It manages to convey the retro feel while looking much better at the same time. Excellent end result.

[@dumptruckds]

I agree and I am planning on a video for RQ. But these take a while (research and collaboration) so it won't be until later this year.

[@zanclawpyro]

I've had Ironwail for about a year, but i was busy with the Remastered version, i got tired a few days ago due to the heavy *engine*, And yeah damn Ironwail is great ahah

[@NickDrinksWater]

I cant believe such an old game is still having so much support

[@FeelingShred]

the real unsung hero of the Quakespasm engine is its original creator and maintainer of the website with detailed development history, which kept the code focused on using a C base (functional code) and also kept focus the entire time on Performance, no CPU cycles being wasted, which allows us to have Quake mods that never give us slowdowns, you can thank this one person 👍

[@battlebunny88]

So there's a new release tomorrow? Nice! I only just discovered Ironwail about two weeks ago and I love it. Curious for new features.

[@dumptruckds]

The list is huge! It's a major upgrade.

[@Siledas]

Damn, I played through Tears' with my two brothers on QSS and just settled for the frame dips figuring that it was a hard limitation common to all source ports. Our future CoOp sessions might have to run IW now! Thanks for the info 👍

[@mankrip-]

It's a kickass list of features indeed.

[@dweller132]

I've been using Ironwail since maybe 0.5.0, so the new features since then and in this release have been great! I was one of the people who wanted the mod menu feature since I liked it from the remaster and found the console/command line process to be tedious, and I had considered suggesting that the mod menu should display the titles of mods along with the BSP or folder name but it seems it was in the works anyway. I hadn't expected to be able to download mods directly, but that is an awesome touch as well. As for performance, I use Ironwail because of the features you mentioned and the fact that my drivers don't work well with the Quake remaster's Vulkan API (and AMD won't update my drivers anymore), but I can get a solid 50-60fps in ad_tears and most other mods. Peril, Ravenkeep, and Tershibboleth have been the only ones I don't get perfect performance on, as far as I know. Overall, Ironwail is the best Quake source port I've used and the most stable. And I'd say this video highlights pretty much everything that someone would need to know to get the best out of Ironwail!

[@CB66941]

I am playing Peril 3.0 that can only run on Ironwail, and seeing 200+ enemies in a wide open space with a lot of detail while still running at a 144 fps made me go wtf.

I think the Quake community might be the smartest and most prolific community ever. In a time where Morrowind and Daggerfal are THRIVING and GZDoom is getting a ton of new content on what feels like a daily basis, it's wild that Quake is still outperforming these absolutely titanic communities! Not only is Ironwail one of the deepest engines on the market, regardless of game, the map mods for Quake are genuinely unbelievable. I with OpenMW got this treatment. I can't believe there's a NEW definitive way to play Quake. What a time to be alive. EDIT: It's also noteworthy that almost all of the official quake products are doing the source material justice, as well. It's so incredibly rare (borderline impossible) to have both the community and the professionals on the same page.

Performance over compatibility with older hardware. By using OpenGL 4.3 it thereby lacks support for GPU's made all the way back to the 90's, but gains massive performance gains on anything made in the past decade, as mentioned. Particle effects could be added later but are not particularly Quakey and not part of its focus really.

guys ı dont know but sound quality is seems poor in contrast to quake remaster when ı am playing iron wail is there any setting ı can change to fix it ?

[@dumptruckds]

There's nothing to fix. The Remaster filters the audio differently than Ironwail. Ironwail is much closer to the original game full stop. To my ears Ironwail is correct and the remaster sounds crackly.

Hello everyone. How about in-game physics? Is it no longer FPS dependant? No problems occuring when you are above 72 fps? Does the bunny hopping work the same way as in the standard QuakeSpasm? Thank you.

[@dumptruckds]

Not sure about Bunny Hopping but assume it's the same. And yes the FPS de-coupling is from Quakespasm Spiked.

[@mopeybloke]

Some engines have switched to frame-rate independent physics. The ones I know are the official remaster, Quakespasm-spiked, Ironwail, VkQuake, and JoeQuake. The ones most recommended to play mods are Ironwail and VkQuake.

Is this and quakespasm just for map makers or is it like a thing I can run to make my regular quake game look better?

[@dumptruckds]

Not just for mappers. It's probably the best way to play Quake at the moment. Enjoy!

[@hammondOT]

@@dumptruckds Thanks. I'm playing through it now because I saw a video about Arcane Dimensions and want to play that, too. I had no idea any of this existed! I used to play Quake 1 and 2 so much back in the day, it feels amazing to be running around in these maps again! And this is running like melted butter.

[@dumptruckds]

There are tons of great mods and maps. Take a look at my Must-Play-Quake playlist.

[@hammondOT]

@@dumptruckds I'm absolutely gobsmacked right now that I've been missing this all these years. I think I've installed it right, because it's playing and it's such a blast. I'm going to run through the original game maps first and then start my way through all those listed mods. This is going to be an awesome weekend!

[@Spartan195X]

After trying a lot of ports, the kex engine was the only one to run at more than 1300fps on my pc, so yeah, since noticing it I run with my fps capped

[@mopeybloke]

The most performant Quake ports are VkQuake and Ironwail.
