Rune Central

I am so pleased that shmack is up, I live in australia(the home of one of the greatest quake players to ever play and a name that was feared by many quakers, Reload.) and I used to be a consistant dedicated player, and it used to be hours and hours of fun, ruined my school career (lol).

Now servers in australia, your lucky to even get one game, and even if you do get one game, the players that are still playing are the real die hard champs of the game, and they are basically impossible to beat, the dead accuration of their aim is unbelievable. So even if you do get a game, you just get wholloped which is no fun :P, now in shmack rune server, i varey a ping of 250 - 300, and it's hard to move and shoot, but thaaaankgod for runequake, runes give me the power to get kills no matter how lagged I am, and the fact that the server is mostly full is so great, I'm pleased to see that the dedication is still alive, and its the only normalquake (not quakeworld) server i know of, i thought that died long ago, but what one question gets me is, why do you guys prefer normal quake so much
is it the phsyics
or because its the original
or because its easier


Anyway, i'm just showing some appreciation, that they are still so many dedicated people to keeping it alive (Slotzero for eg) and the players that keep it reaal and fun.

Only problem is we have opposite timelines, so i gotta play during the day to frag you monkies, anyway, i'll see you guys on the server, and when i jump in, your gonna get fragged by my sorry high pinging ass :P

Yeah, that's one problem in Quake on a whole. That and map mastery.



One of the strengths of Rune Quake, fun for everyone and everyone can get a few frags in.



There are around 90 normal Quake servers, about 75 in the USA, 10 in Brazil and 5 or 6 in Europe.

If you go to QuakeOne.com, a site dedicated to original Quake (non-Quakeworld), we have 800 members, mostly part-time players and there is a server list.

Still, Rune Quake is good enough to be someone's only server and for a number of players, it is.

Rune Quake pretty much the undisputed champ of mods. It's so bug-free (and feature filled).



For me personally, a number of things feel all wrong about Quakeworld. The firing, the prediction, the particles aren't right (particularly noticeable if try the Quakeworld version of RuneQuake), the shotgun blasts don't have spread. The bunny hopping bug/feature/exploit (depending on point of view) also is something I feel detracts from essentials game.

It's really just personal preference, but if I have 70 ping and a good connection to a server, NetQuake/Normal Quake is just about the same as real-time Quake with 0.05 ms delay.

Sorry, there aren't really any NQ or RuneQuake servers in Australia. You aren't the only Australian that plays at Shmack Rimmer is from Australia and there have actually been 5 or 6 others in the past.

my other mate MoGUNZ aka Kayote[B15] (yes there was a bananas in pyjamas clan back in the day and they were unbeatable) and he tells me he jumps in, but we must be going in on different times


im keen to play against these other aussies, see if i can beat them

it's understandable now that you do mention the aiming for quakeworld, i used to be a dueler and only a dueler, and got pretty good at one stage, now i can understand, quakeworld = competitive play NQ = old classic good ol fun

I must say ill just make shmack my only quake server, and be dedicated, see if i can master this ping into a new level.

Is there any updates happening in rune, or is slotzero just waiting for more and more ideas to come across?

PS, I know there is a website that keeps records of how many frags you get on shmack.net, I was just wondering what the URL is

you my friend are worth your weight in gold

LOL i cant find me anywhere, I must be real bad at the game, but i swear i do ok most of the tiem though

Does anyone know where I can get standword network card drivers? I have a HP computer bought off the internet and it came with no drivers and I had to reinstall Windows so it reformatted.

Not too sure what type of network card it is, it just appears to be some little silver cube rather than one of those slots

any ideas

alright!! i upgraded my internet conncetion so i can have a better ping over there


be afraid

Wow... I have not been around for a very very long time... but I have recently started getting back into the games and thought I would stop by to see if there are still some familiar names... and I still see some...

Who knows, maybe one day soon I will be on the server trying to shake the rust off of good ole "QB the Killer"
