And without texture filtering it somehow looks better, than some other 3d games from that same era (with texure filtering, well, it looks sharper and better to me withoug filtering). It has its own charme and to be honest, it looks better that way, even better than even some newer indie titles (that want to look "retro").

the biggest difference i notice is on modern source engine games you dont get extra height from jumping up slopes (unless you have a good amount of speed) & the extra height you can get from hitting a slope with speed is a lot lower than in quake but other than that, really everything works as i would expect and hope from slopes (though the grenade thing is silly)

The way I heard it explained was that slopes convert between horizontal and vertical velocity. Jumping down a slope converts your downwards velocity into forwards velocity, and jumping up the slope will convert forwards velocity into upwards velocity, so really upward and downward slopes have the same behaviour, just in different directions. We could use a video from Matt's Ramblings to explain what causes ramp jumping and surfing behaviour in the code.
@TarenGarond
@TarenGarond Жыл бұрын
When touching a slope the players velocity perpendicular to the slope is clipped. Lets say you only have horizontal speed hitting "straight" into a 45 degree slope, for easier visualization of the phenomena lets rotate the frame of reference 45 degrees so the surface now is just a flat 0 degree "slope" and the player is moving downwards-forwards with an angle of 45 degrees, when hitting the surface the vertical velocity is removed and you only have the horizontal speed (parallel to the "slope") left, by changing back our reference frame you are now going up the 45 deg slope. This is happening against basically all surfaces by the way. Jumping is just adding 270 of Z-speed to the players velocity vector, so that is how ramp jumping works. Surfing is happening because of slopes that have a Z-part of the surface normal less than 0.7(A slope with close to 45 degrees and higher) is not considered as ground (No friction) in the movement code and you move with air movement (accompanied by previous mentioned velocity clipping against surfaces).

What I like most about Quake speedruns is that they don't rely so heavily on obvious glitch exploits. Instead, people beat records by exploiting rules that seem to be enforced consistently according to some kind of internal logic that in itself may be weird and unintuitive, but not unpredictable or obviously broken. I guess grenades getting stuck on slopes might be right on the edge of what I'd consider a glitch, but it never really occurred to me as overtly broken behavior when playing the game casually. I just accept it as a quirk of the physics simulation. For comparison I watched a great speedrun of Blood where a lot of the skipping tricks involved opening doors on yourself to essentially noclip yourself past sections of the map as the game struggled to put the player back outside solid objects. Build engine jank allows for these kinds of skips across the board and seems so obviously inadvertent compared to what really amounts to physics quirks in Quake.

Yeah it seems like a game where the regular intended mechanics are so refined and versatile that speedruns really are more like e sports level play. In contrast you have half life 2 where you can give gordon noclip by turning him into a boat, deleting the boat, deleting gordon, and then turning gordon into a ghost thats immune to bullets and can jump through walls. You can also smash books into peoples heads to teach them how to teleport, break the sound barrier by going backwards but forwards, and sometimes backwards but forwards but backwards.

A lot of the older runs on Speed Demos Archive used to be the same way, for all types of games. They were great to watch because playing fast meant playing by the rules, but also playing incredibly well. These days a lot of speedruns are just wars of attrition against RNG until you finally clip through the wall and spend five minutes running to the exit.

Maybe it's because I've played Quake games for so long, but I find the slope jumping pretty intuitive. Jump velocity is added to your current velocity, so if you're moving up when you jump, you jump higher! I'm making a platformer (Fist of the Forgotten) that really emphasizes this type of movement, but it definitely doesn't click for everybody. As for why grenades stick to slopes, if I recall correctly, the code checks if the normal of the surface relative to the motion of the grenade is below some threshold, which makes sense on flat ground -- once the grenade is moving almost horizontally it should just stop bouncing. If it's on a slope, however, that normal check can be in line with the grenades movement (moving close to being in line with the slope), so it just stops in unrealistic places.

To think that this game's children had managed to keep so much of this game's DNA alive. Plenty a time have I used inclined surfaces as a launch pad for my speed shots and I have certainly made a good few uses out of ramp surfing and ramp climing. Man. It feels weird to see skills that I have learned in a game so much younger than Quake would carry over quite well.

I don't agree, that slopes increasing your vertical speed while going up them, nor increasing your horizontal speed while jumping down them is a bug. It's a simple implementation of elastic collisions with respect to the Newton's law and conservation of inertia. If it were a bug, it probably wouldn't have persisted through Q2, Q3, ... But then again, I'm sure it was recognized as one of the main aspects, that separated quake games from all the other contemporary FPS and why I still rate these engines far, far above all other FPS engines (the other being quake's netcode).

7:35 I believe its because you are jumping on an edge which causes the physics to go wacky. In halo 2, there is a thing called super bounce where you land on edges and it will launch you sky high. it was a thing on the xbox version, probably fixed in halo 2 vista and halo aniversary and I think it may be related to that.

I think the way Quake's slopes work is extremely intuitive, so long as you picture the ranger not as a human, but as a moving ball. If you roll a ball quickly up a slope, it will launch off the end of it. If you roll a ball down a slope, it's gonna pick up speed. It's basically a game of mini golf, but you are the ball and can control your own direction. The only really unintuitive part is surfing along them.

They didn't make a set of variables but they made it a game engine, similar how they did it in Doom (don't know about Wolfenstein). This means that there was a game engine driver that that was programmed in QuakeC, and therefore completely variable. This is how all the mods and conversions could be made. Valve bought the engine for Halflife.

It's also interesting how slope coordinates are handled by the engine itself.

The presence of vector may be indication of math behind it - quake just applies simple modifier based on angle difference, adds vectors and voila, next n.

You know... being part of the OG Quake scene really was special, as the game was basically a wholesale collection of quirky 'oops' turned features. While we obviously must give a nod to Doom, it was Quake that pretty much brought up most every "quirk" that is now implemented as "standard". And kudos to the competitive scene, be it FFA, TDM, DM or speedrunners, because not a single soul ever thought "ahh... this needs to be fixed". Nope, everything was both embraced and incorporated into the play style. You know it's a special thing when just about every bug and quirk it had was not only "promoted" for general use and not seen as a detraction but was taken in as "added value" :D

Believe it or not the classic Sonic games have very similar slopes; jumping on an upward incline will make you jump extremely high, but you can also jump three quarters in a loop to get a lot more speed on the descent allowing you to build absurd speed instantly without a spindash. Because of these quirks, I'm inclined to believe the higher jump height and faster speed from slopes are intentional and aren't bugs.

I had no idea that the Source engine got their weird slope physics that made Surf maps possible from Quake! Guess they never "fixed" it, as apparently Goldsrc was directly based off the Quake engine. Now I wonder if Source 2 also still has it. Imagine how insane a CSS surf map would feel in VR

I think it was quake 2, I believed myself to be decent at strafe jumping and movement in general, then I attempted surfing levels and it was literally playing a new game.

i guess it makes sense but i've never thought about there being kz maps in quake. also, that checkered map you showed off a few times looks like fun to try out but probably wont cuz im not a fan of explosive boosts (and ive never played quake)

I knew just about everything except the grenade bug (because I dont play quake 1). Why does the grenade get stuck going down but not up? The bounce physics work fine for avatars, so why not grenades? Also not sure if this is in quake 1, but it is in quake 2 where there is weird logic behind ramps if you go fast enough into a ramp that's shallow enough to walk up but you're faster than you can jump up it, your velocity fails to clip so you end up sliding up it instead. This behaviour is mirrored even into the most modern version of the Source engine AFAIK.

Something that you missed here that I think is important to explain it all is vector physics.... when jumping on a surface in quake rather than a true jump (as we see is most modern games) the quake engine applies a vector of speed. This is the a relative angle based on current speed, current inputs and surface you are jumping off. While this is known by any quake players, those that don't know it won't understand what's happening.

... the part of me that has made puzzle game maps hates this because removing backroutes is a normal thing there and so this feels like "don't use slopes in your map".

Hey, Great Video!!! I was curious on your opinion on whether or not Night Dive's version of Quake is the definitive version to play. Are the other sourceports like quakespasm still viable to play nowadays?

The remaster is nice but actually not very popular in the speedrunning and custom mapping scene. The main problem is that it completely changes the original movement/physics, so demos made in the remaster have to be in their own separate category (which almost nobody plays). Joequake is our engine of choice - true original physics with all the modern graphical features, compatibly with almost all mods (including the new machine games episodes), and a whole lot of useful speed running features like ghosts.
