[Openquartz-general] Sound problems and Open Quartz at Qexpo

[Gottfried H. <to...@my...>]

Well, some sort of bad news:

"from #fga lol, i'm too lazy
<Cheapie> SerpLord - has anyone noticed there's a couple q2 sounds
present in open quartz? (which went from paroxysm)
<Cheapie> weapons/bounce.wav, the entire plats folder, misc/talk (help
computer sound), doors/hydro1-2, doors/stndr1-2,
buttons/airbut1-switch04.wav, ambience/drone6
<Cheapie> i should let toddd know so he could do replacements Smile
<Cheapie> since these are just machinery and beepy sounds"

this is a sad thing. it looks like lots of people recommed Open Quartz
as a source for sounds - maybe someone is now using the Quake2 sounds
and thinks they're GPL.
I already worked on some replacements. They are more like the original
Quake1 sounds I guess. I wonder wether I'll be able to redo all the
problematic sounds:

Oh yeah, in the PK3 the menu sounds have been replaced, but that's in no
way final.



And there is also good news. This year Qexpo is held once again:

Why not register an Open Quartz booth? That'd be a good occasion for a
new release. But for a new release, the bug in Darkplaces that makes
corpses and some powerups turn completely black (espacially on the start
map) needs to be tracked down. Lordhavoc unfortunately has no idea what
causes this behavior in versions of Darkplaces newer than the one Open
Quartz is shipping :-/
