Just the standard sound sample rates... for simple sounds 11025Hz or 22050Hz mono. Open the console and check if there are error messages. You also can try to play the sound from the console: play soundname...  [Read More]

Thanks, Ackehallgren, for being patient. We're currently very busy with fixing the last bugs of the demo maps. With many people working on such a huge project, it's not quite easy as you may understand, and indeed takes its time. Using your words:...  [Read More]

Our plans are to finish the levels first as single player missions (SP for the demo, MP for the final release). In parallel we will investigate siege mode (because of the way goals are completed, the map, etc.). Only at the end we may decide to creat...  [Read More]

There is no need for us to use RAR (although it has its own advantages over ZIP) because the files are all already compressed in PK3 files, which use ZIP compression! The Demo pack will simply be an envelope, it could be even an EXE! Recompressing Z...  [Read More]

1. Shaders saved with Wordpad work as well (at least using Win NT/2k)... just make sure you save the shader as plain text file and not as .wri or .doc :p 2. check the file association of the explorer (somewhere in the options, file types or so) if re...  [Read More]

A shader is a configuration script, like a small program, that is used to modify textures, surface parameters and even modify the form of objects. For the JA and the Q3 engine series games, shaders are relatively short text scripts, with the suffix...  [Read More]

What's the problem? Simply run the executable... the only "switch" or rather parameter may be a file name, namely a .md5 or .glm model file. You can link ModView with that file extension. The only thing to care of is to extract your files l...  [Read More]
