looks pretty nifty. spent many happy hours at uni getting blazed with friends and taking turns playing the MP on 33k dialup. lag and packet loss sucked a fat one, and chthon's lair was unplayable (one big room) so we used to repeat suicide in the lava for the lulz, but other than that a funtastic time was had

SP is pretty good too on hardcore

[Tsakali]

Woah back in your day they actually had institutions of higher learning?

[seremtan]

"back in your day"

or mid-to-late 1990s as they were called

oxford offered free 33k dialup if you were living out

[Captain]

Still better than Canada's internet.

[xer0s]

33k? And I thought my 56k was slow...

Fuck off Dultron...

So angry...

lol

[seremtan]

33k? And I thought my 56k was slow...

we could have had a 56k sub (paid), but the university (being an ISP) offered 33k for free, student poverty etc

amazingly, we still had some good games, even with that pisspoor speed. the real arse-ache was the packet loss

[xer0s]

All this low speed Internet talk reminds me of Booger. What ever happened to that old bastard?

[Captain]

He's still waiting to log in.

I did search and there was no mention of Epsilon save my topic:
Just thought I'd ask

PS/Edit: I will load up on the weekend for a lookie

I meant you should have posted it in that forum, cause that forum is for and all other retro games. A mod could have moved it there, but apparently none care about that forum, not even the mod of it.

Whiskey 7, what exactly is this Quake Epsilon? Just a link to Google searching for it isn't exactly helpful in the way that it makes me want to learn more about it.

Give us some info man, why should I bother with this mod or whatever it is?

[DTS]

I thinhk this is what you are looking for:

Quake - 15 years on, "Epsilon" build - free download for Win/Mac/Linux

I've been browsing the latest graphical/sound quake mods recently, and have managed to put together a pretty neat build using LordHavoc's darkplaces, rygel's ultra textures packs, the reforged packs and a variety of Seven's mods, to play the original Quake.
The problem comes when you have to browse the quakeone forums, stumbling to find the posts which detail what cvars and what configs/files you have to overwrite etc in order to get each mod to work. I literally spent as much time getting the damn mods working as playing the game!
So, with that in mind, I've built together a pretty happy-looking build of quake original called 'epsilon' for everybody to download without getting into the hassle of config files and reading every post in the quakeone forums.

(I got that from one of the Google results via Whiskey 7's link.)

Just asking

Sorry Eraser, yes perhaps I should have outlined more, but by way of explanation (read apology) I got it on a game mag cover DVD, then googled to see what it was about

I figured some here have already looked because my 'neck of the woods' is a little slow sometimes at getting this type of new stuff.

Like metamorphosis said (somewhere)
