Ok, so after the server move everything sorta went "poof"
on this site. I've done my best to fix all the links, and have made
some minor updates to the design of the site.

Blimey, its been over a month since the last update! First, as you
have no doubt seen on PocketGamer,
pq2 has now been released. To start playing you need the new
game exe and the shareware
pak file. If you have any problems just visit the Pocketquake
II forum. Next, we have an updated version of the pq map 'Thule'
from davinci.
Now i'd like to make an appeal.
As you can see, the site isn't looking it's best at the moment.
We were hoping to get some graphics together but with the server
changes and holidays that hasn't happened. If you want to express
your love for Dan, maybe you'd like to contact
us and help out when we re-design the site. Buy
Snails!

More developments on the Quake 2 front. Dan has now tested the game
on his ipaq and gotten about 3fps. Remember this is the first unoptimised
build and he hopes to release the game before the end of this week!
Here's another screenshot and heres
the thread
on the PocketMatrix forums.
Update: "Just a quick
note on the shareware pak file. It is 48 MB, 25 MB of which is audio files.
Those can be hacked right out using a Pak editor, and Quake 2 never complains
about not finding them" Also, if anyone out there would like to devote
there time to converting the sounds / textures to a lower quality it would
be much appreciated.

Okay, wait for it... Quake 2 has been ported to the Pocket PC!! Following
the release of the Quake 2 source code by id
Software, Dan East has taken the first steps in bringing this game
to Windows CE. Heres the original post at PocketMatrix.com:
| I've got Quake II ported
to the Pocket PC platform. It will be a couple days before release,
because there are details yet to clean up (GAPI drawing and input
controls). I've only tried it in the emulator, so I can't give you
an indication of the speed. It runs 100% on my 300 mhz laptop in emulator,
but that of course is no indication of what I'll see on the StrongARM.
The main problem at this time is the shareware pak file is 48 MB.
I don't know if I'll have gZip compression ready for the initial release
or not. The way I implemented compression for Quake I is so freaking
slow that at this point I'm considering something more advanced so
the loading won't be so compromised. I only have 16 MB CF Cards, so
I'm going to have to strip everything out of the pak I can to get
it to install on my hardware. |
Here's the first
image of Quake 2 running in the emulator in Dan's laptop. We'll
keep you posted. Thanks Dan!

Scott!

This news item is not directly related to Pocket Quake, but it's close!
:) Dan East (who brought Quake to the Pocket PC) has recently ported Wolfenstein
3D as well. This is the game that started it all, and is Quake's "Grandfather"
(Wolfenstein 3D -> Doom -> Quake). It provides similar 3D gameplay,
and because of its simplicity, runs faster and requires less storage space
than Pocket Quake.

Thomas Wilburn's modification of Pocket Quake, which supports the greyscale
iPaq 3100 device, is now available for download here at the official PQ
site. This has been available for some time, but I'm just getting around
to providing it here at the official site. Thanks Thomas!

Lloyd Bailey's modification of Pocket Quake, which supports HP Jornada
devices with 8 bit color displays (HP54x and HP52x series), is now available
for download here at the official PQ site. Thanks Lloyd!

Beta 0.062 released. This is a bug-fix release, which fixes the "-game"
command line parameter. If you already have version 0.061 then you only
need to upgrade if you use advanced custom maps, mods and bots (which
requires the registered pak level files).
