Videochat August 2020

[Ross Scott]

August videochat with fans.  More rambling, I don't remember any one topic dominating, but it's kind of a blur.

Hey Ross, heard your partial rant on the GUI design. You might be interested in this: https://www.deviantart.com/devillnside/art/Slate-2004-847243016

 

There are more resources in the links of that submission, mostly for windows based theming. Can't really get too exotic unless people rewrite the display server (how windows behave and so on).

None of the bums at Penn station stuck me as GUI designers, but you could get lucky and get a Terry Davis.

Love you Ross

On the R word thing, do you also plan to stop using the word "lame" as it refers to an actual medical condition as well.

It's funny because I have never seen you more energetic than in this chat. You looked like you're high on coffee or something.

Ross's fans are eager to help him even for free. He could've offered his Mardi Gras t-shirt for reward and get better response than an average popular youtuber offering a couple thousand dollars.

It was probably the high after having a video completed, it feels like a weight off my back when that happens.

Actually only one person responded, then disappeared on me.  I may end up having to do this myself.  I absolutely can't afford to offer thousands for this unfortunately.  That would be closer to the entire budget for the movie.

For Quake 2 I'd suggest Q2XP, along with model and weapon mods, then just tweak the settings the way you like. Played through Q2, Ground Zero, Zaero, and The Reckoning.

The only problem I remember was the screen flashing and having a problem seeing underwater but it's easy to fix.

Here's some screenshots including one to compare to Beserker.

Here's a little readme I made while setting it up.

=================================================
Quake 2 XP
https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-2-xp
-------------------------------------------------

To turn off the screen flashing when being hurt
or picking up items, and from constantly being in
a "flash" state while underwater. Set (cl_blend "0")
either through the console or in xpconfig.cfg, or with
autoexec.cfg. Such a change likely needs to be done
for every game/mod.


=================================================
Quake 2 HD Monster Skins
https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-2-monster-skins
-------------------------------------------------

This is included, to remove it remove the following..

Folder
\baseq2\models\monsters\ctank
File
\baseq2\xFragHDSkinsx.pkx

=================================================
Quake 2 Weapons Remodel
https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake2-remodel
-------------------------------------------------

Quake 2 Weapons Remodel content has since been
included in Q2XP with some replacements. So no
longer needs to be added, unless possible due
to updates etc.

The website regularly screws up rendering in some browsers (especially mobile).

I get the same effect as you on my phone.

Don't worry, on desktop FF it looks OK.

I still consider the website overhaul to be a downgrade in almost every regard. (At least give me my BBcode back, goddamnit).

I got really drunk and figured this was the latest video chat and thought I went back in time.

Why video went private(link only access)?
