John Carmack on New Quake II
Executable
John Carmack made a
.plan update talking about the new Quake II executable which will be released
"Real Soon Now" (he thinks probably Sunday). Here's the update (which also
includes a list of fixes to be included):
We are going to release a new quake 2 executable that fixes the malicious server crashing problems Real Soon Now. It also fixes a ton of other problems that have been reported, so we are going to have to give it some good testing before releasing it.
John Cash has two kids that would lynch him if he came in and worked on christmas, so we certainly won't be able to get a release candidate together before the weekend. I am fairly confidant we will have it released to the public on sunday.
I have been spending most of my time on trinity research but I have still made quite a few fixes to Q2. John Cash has made many more (he is just finishing up the IPX coding, among other things).
I have been doing a lot of testing over a proxy that gives me a very bad ping (400 - 800), so I was able to find and fix two significant errors with the prediction code.
The reason why you get a jerk when running forward and firing rockets, blasters, or grenades is that the client side prediction code was blocking you on your own missiles.
The jerky behavior on plats was due to a subtle error in the prediction error interpolation. A prediction error was causing oscillations as long as your latency, instead of smoothing out over just 100 ms. The plats are now smooth as long as you aren't dropping packets, and other mispredictions are also handled much better.
There are still a lot of other things that will be fixed in an upcoming release, but this will definately be an executable worth grabbing.

WindowsNT users are fine, but Windows95 users have to download Microsoft's OpenGL drivers.
One more thing: forgot to put this in the docs, but you can ZOOM by pressing both mouse buttons. Some people asked me about this.
Quake II Development
The Quake II Tip of the day is to check out Quake DeveLS which is chock full of
tutorials and information to get you going modifying the game to your own ends.
As the Web Turns
Congrats to sCary,, who finally got the Internet rebooted, and reveals in his update the announcement that he's

Version 1.1 of QuakeOn, the only Quake
front-end with a helping head, has been released on the QuakeOn page, now featuring preliminary
Quake II Support ... There is word on the GLQ+ page on how to
use this program that can greatly improve your GLQuake
framerate to do the same in Quake II. Thanks Prophet ... Wanted to pass along word that
Game-Wire, the gaming resource Prophet was the
publisher of. has closed its doors (or whatever websites close), and you can expect an
exciting announcement about what his next project is shortly ... I was corrected by aBNoRMaL about the origination of Fahrenheit 176
(mentioned yesterday), which is apparently more correctly described as the
temperature when "electromigration" takes place (often in an overclocked CPU),
not when it actually melts ... Argh, I hate to sound like a broken record, but sorry about
the downtime last night, this morning, it is being addressed. On a related note, it seems
like every time sCary asks me to mention that his site is down, mine is as well, but now
that we're back, I can let you know that sCary is working out the difficulties withhis ISP
even as we speak ...

which detail the actions of the character and weapons animations (the same data Paul
handed off to John Cash for the Quake II progs.).
Doom
Source Released
John Carmack updated
his .plan to announce that the long awaited source code for Doom (355 KB) is now publicly
available. His entire update goes on to list the contents of the read me, which
mentions that this is for non-profit use, and will only compile under Linux for the
present. At the end of the text he also gives some project ideas:
The DOOM source is up.
Merry christmas!
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/doomsrc.zip
[...]
Some project ideas:
Port it to your favorite operating system.
Add some rendering features -- transparency, look up / down, slopes, etc.
Add some game features -- weapons, jumping, ducking, flying, etc.
Create a packet server based internet game.
Create a client / server based internet game.
Do a 3D accelerated version....
...I don't have a real good guess at how many people are going to be playing with this, but if significant projects are undertaken, it would be cool to see a level of community cooperation. I know that most early projects are going to be rough hacks done in isolation, but I would be very pleased to see a coordinated 'net release of an improved, backwards compatable version of DOOM on multiple platforms next year.
Have fun.

Crash Fix
"Within a Week"
John Carmack sent a reply to my question about a time frame for the fix
for the Quake II crash exploit. The crash fix will be available "within a week"
along with what sounds like part of the original point release. That release will include
the crash fix and other bugfixes (and it sounds like possibly some features), to be
followed by another release with whatever remains. Here's was what he had to say:
A new release within a week.
We could just rev the old codebase, but instead we are going to try and get all the bugfixes we have so far stable enough for a release.
It won't have all the bugs fixed or all the new features (still no coop), but it will have lots of stuff.
Who is Crashing the Great Servers
of Quake II?
Well, it's hard to tell, but it's pretty obvious that they are enjoying
doing it, as Internet Quake II servers are having a tough time staying running. It seems
there is some sort of problem being exploited to crash the Q2 servers all over. John Cash
made the following update to his .plan with the status of the fix, and what
you can do right now if you run a server (or an ISP):
OK, here's the scoop on the Q2 server crashes... Yes, some dork with nothing better to do has found a way to crash or tie-up a QuakeII server remotely.
Yes, I did track it down a couple of nights ago. We already had one of the things fixed and I fixed second one then. The fixes have been tested on our servers.
The upcoming point release will include these fixes. It also fixes the BFG crash and the unset entity number crash (the two most common crashes by far). The main reason I've not been posting a work log is so I don't end up giving these people a "how to" book for making the game crash.
I know, I know... "WHEN?". I can't say exactly right now. What I will say is it will be "Real Soon Now". There are a couple of more fixes we consider critical and we want to make sure they are in and working first.
What can you do for now?
If you can get packets filtered, stop incoming IP packets from the loopback (127.x.x.x - why do routers even let these come in off the wire?) and incoming packets from your own IP address; this will stop the looping attack. BTW, if your ARE an ISP feel free to help track down the source of these spoofed IP's; I'll help out any ISP who is endeavoring to do so.
The crashing attack is caused by a hand crafted connect packet that has "connect $" in it. There's no simple (non-patch) fix for this one. OK, some routers can be setup to filter this, but it is a very non-general thing.
I'm looking at what the impact would be on getting a point release out if I were to stop and create another "just fix these two problems" release.
Sorry if the reporting of this seems delayed to those of you suffering with the server crashes wondering what was going on, as this problem started a few days ago. For a while it seemed that the problem was still somewhat limited, and as John says, you don't want to provide a how to on crashing the game. Since last night, however, the problem has become so widespread that it's hard to find a server running.
Quake II Console Commands
Fahrenheit176's Quake 2 Info has a complete
list of Quake II console commands. This resource (and the usual assortment of other good
stuff) has been added to the Quake II Tips page. Apparently the name comes from the temperature at
which a processor begins to melt. How, um, comforting.
Star Wars Prelim Release II
the second preliminary release of the Star Wars TC is available on the Star Wars TC homepage. Word is that work from now
on will be to continue the TC as a Quake II project.
Saturn Quake
Stephen Hutchins, producer of Quake
for the Sega Saturn, passes along word that Saturn Quake has been released. It is
apparently quite a feat of programming to have achieved smooth gameplay on a console with
the Saturn's horsepower (or lack thereof).
Six New Jedi Knight
Levels
Six new levels for Jedi Knight (four from yesterday and two from today),
made with the recently released JK editor, JED, are available on JediKnight.Net.
Competitions

There's an article on AVault called Children of Doom, talking about kids and the games we (I mean they) play ... Quake II skin sites seem to be all the rage,
here's another couple: The
Chosen's Quake2 Skins and Snowballs House Of

to help TeamFortress players keep in touch
... In the print world, apparently Quake
rated another mention in yesterday's Wall Street Journal (thanks FauxPas), and there's a Sin
preview in January's Next-Generation (thanks madcruz), also DaFragsta
passes along word that Quake II was mentioned today on Good
Morning America, of all places (I can see it now: "Nice frag,
Joan!") ... More poetry: 'Twas the Deathmatch before Christmas
from ION Storm. Thanks SirRush ... Thanks spamdog

A couple of notes, though the verified version of the Famke Bot is version 1.6, though it said version 1.5 in the read me (this had both me and OpenQuake confused at first). Also, Adam Williamson liked the Q2MidiMod so much he created this collection of midi tunes (32 KB) from Doom to use with it. Finally, The Quake II Review is a new page devoted to reviewing Quake II mods.
Interview (Updated)
QuakePsycho tells me ION Storm's Anachronox Project Leader Tom Hall is interviewed
on Square Net. Thanks Hell
Blazer for the link to the interview.
LAN Sniffer
Jeff sends along word of a LAN
sniffer program available on his Projects
Page. The program is a Win95 System Tray utility that detects when a LAN game is
launched and will blink to notify you (it currently supports Quake and Quake II). Perfect
for large LAN's (though you want to make sure that your grumpy systems administrator
doesn't get a hold of a copy). Winsock 2 required.
Another Quake II Server Browser
Q2Find 1.3 (1.7
MB), is a freeware server browser program for Quake II that I have not heard anything
about before Jason Olenick sent along word of
the Q2Find homepage, but it is already up to
version 1.3.

Clineschmidt, RIOT Level Designer updated
his .plan with news of the first ever RIOT deathmatch.
Quake-Related Music CD
In Your Face is a new CD by Gorebag and the Grunts of music to
frag by (to?). I've gotten to check this out, and it tends towards the funny, rather than
the menacing, with themes that any Quake player will recognize, and a particular bent
towards CTF (with such tributes as "Am I Red, or Am I Blue?", and "Goin'
for the Flag". There are samples
on the Gaming with Gorebag page so you can
see what you think.

Another Quake II skin site: The Skin farm ... Quake II got
you in the holiday spirit? It certainly had
that effect on Zedek who sat down and wrote the 12 Days of Stroggos, and
coincidentally, the AVault has posted their own A Quake 2 Christmas, another homage to Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem ... Congrats to Paul
Bettner who says he managed to nail a job at Ensemble Studios through the Blue's News Want Ads. Now
that's pretty darn cool ...

the subject of Q2Tips, the Q2 modem
to modem howto page has been updated.
Quake II CTF / Runes
Aaron Goldsmith has written a patch
to add the runes so familiar from Threewave CTF to Quake II. The patch, available here is currently being
verified by the OpenQuake guys (see next story for more on Quake II programming/security
issues). Also, on a similar track, Quake2CTF.com is a
new site for the latest in Q2 CTF News.
Quake II Mod Discussions
Shareware Deathmatch Pack
The Black Star
Coven Home Page features the preview of their shareware deathmatch pack for Quake

H3D Stereo Quake/Quake II
Word on the H3D Entertainment page
is that their 3D stereo glasses for Quake/Quake II are now available. As anyone who got to
check them out at QuakeCon or The FRAG can tell you, these things are amazing, turning
Quake into a 3D experience even Henry Fonda (old GAF Viewmaster spokesman) would be proud
to play. Thanks Schrade.

Final AirQuake
Version 1.01 of AirQuake (161 KB), the
remarkable air combat TC for Quake by Iikka Keränen has been released on the AirQuake TC homepage. The new
release, a progs.dat upgrade that requires a previous installation of AirQuake 1.00 (3.1 MB), is a bug fix, and is the
final version of AirQuake, according to the news on the page.
New Requiem
Beta 2 of Requiem for QuakeWorld has been released on the Requiem page. The server-only upgrade is
said to feature "Better weapons, better teamplay, and fewer bugs. :)".
Quake II Skinorama
Here are a couple of Quake II skin sites (obviously just getting
underway), Quake2Kill, Skinner's Skins, and Quake II Skins. Also Prophet passes along word that Kenneth
Scott of Banjo Software has posted his first Quake II skin on the the SkinForge. Finally, GateWay (from GameHut's Quake II Page, not Steve Tietze from
Rogue) sent along this skin (21 KB) which
allows you to look like the Quake guy in a Quake II game of all things.
PowerVR Colored Lighting?
Zanshin made an update to his
GLQuake Dojo talking about Quake II colored lighting (or lack thereof) on PowerVR's
PCX2 chipset. There are accompanying screenshots in his news section comparing PCX2
colored lighting to Voodoo Graphics, and here's a quote:
I just recieved the supposed "full colored lighting" dll for Quake II from a contact at Videologic. On behalf of all the PCX2 users out there, I'd like some updates on whether they are going to be able to make this work or not. So far, only the entities and the weapons are lit. The blending got better from the original miniports, but I have heard over and over again that they found some trick to implement full colored lighting in Quake II on the PCX2.
New RIVA Tweak
Saw on Voodoo Extreme that RIVA Extreme (hmmm) has posted version 2.0a of the RIVA Tweak utility (39 KB) that

crashing when they tried to run Java being caused by the 24 bit color desktops all those
nutty artistic types use, once I switched from true color to hi color the problem
disappeared ... Here's the image of the day
