Title : SushiPPC - "Surgeon's Ultimate Speedup Hacks, Inc" Author: surgeon (http://members.xoom.com/surgeonsq1/index.htm) Important note: This is untested, since I don't have access to a PPC board. This PAK uses very small (104 bytes) NON-LOOPED wav's in place of ambient sounds. Therefore some errormsg printing in quake.exe has to be turned off. I have supplied a patch which does this and makes it possible to enable fullbright and ambient rendering in deathmatch + the polyblend and bf hack (clear view in liquids and pickup flash removal). This patch is for QuakePPC (fastquake5 - 877320 bytes) A lot of sounds in quake have been replaced with smaller ones in order to minimize the CPU time spent on processing sound. Many mdl's have been replaced with null mdl's (torch, gibs) or substituted and the player.mdl has been modified to get rid of dead corpses. These modifications gives a huge speedup in deathmatch, regardless of the server you are connected to, since all speedups are client-side. It works with normal quake and all server-side modifications + rocketarena (68K versions works fine, PPC is untested). In short: If you are playing deathmatch on PPC Amiga, and still thinks your framerate is too low, this is a must - although it's considered cheating because of fullbright and modified mdl's. Installation: The supplied pakfile (pak0.pak) must be placed in your preferred gamedir. If you already have pakfiles there, say a pak0.pak and pak1.pak, rename the supplied pak to pak2.pak. (just make sure it's the highest numbered pak). Then you have to patch your exe. Run the SushiPPC script by doubleclicking it's icon. Locate your QuakePPC executable, and when prompted, select the appropiate .pch file. Then type the name of your new exe. The patcher will exit, and the new exe should be used for starting quake. The exe doesn't need the pakfile, and can be used for every breed of quake. Make sure to make the following alias in your autoexec.cfg: (if you don't have one in your gamedir, edit one.) alias bf "" The reason for this is that the bf command doesn't exist because it's disabled in the exe, and when sent from progs.dat quake now thinks that it's a line of text. The empty alias makes sure that "bf" is not printed on your screen every time you pick up some stuff. That's all folks - enjoy! - 'surgeon'
