Hi Matthew and all! I have a program called Reg scrub XP. I hadn't run it in a long time, but I decided to do a full-on assault on these errors in Quake. I ran every spyware and antivirus program I Had but nothing worked. Then I ran Regscrub. It found 893 bugs in the registry and fixed them all--and now I'm playing Quake error free! I am about to see if it'll let me play with mods. I know many of you are better than me at Quake--I haven't had much DM practice in a long time so I'm rusty--but if any of you are interested I will do walkthroughs of the first two maps in Episode 1. Yall miss a lot when all you do is death matches. I like the puzzles and I'm getting better and better at navigating. I've recently uploaded a folder containing new sounds. I believe, but I'm not sure, that among them is a shorter marker sound that is less harsh. It's a quick blip, and I'm using them as signals. No matter where you are on a level, the markers play as you pressed them, so if I find a dead end I set down two markers quickly. A door opened elsewhere gets one marker. A door I've already been through gets one then a pause then three quickly--blip, blip blip blip. I am working out other signals too. I'll let you know if I can come up with any new strategies. I'm modifying certain sounds and will be uploading a new nav.zip file soon, so stay tuned. I don't have a clue how to mod the game itself, but if there are any sounds you want changed or modified, let me know. I want to make this game as imersive as I can--and maybe I'll start modding some day, who knows. There are certainly a lot of things I'd like to improve, like the panning of wall scrapes, and a small blip that tells you if you're headed straight down a passage--but I'm a rookie when it comes to coding. Anyway, keep on quaking!
