Below are links to some demos from the ClanRing Tournament 3. I've tweaked them a little so that, if you download and use a special player model (147 kB) for watching them, each player on a team will have a distinguishing visual characteristic. This works especially well if your computer can handle viewing demos in the higher vid_modes. I use 360x480 in normal (non-GL) Quake, and that works for me.
New demos will appear a day or so after ClanRing publishes them.
New/Changed:
- 11-21-97: I'll get the HPB final up soon. So much stuff (Quake-related and not) to do... and the LPB final has yet to be played, of course.
- 11-13-97: Unforgiven vs. Ruthless Bastards semifinal.
- 11-10-97: Game 3 of Clan Kapitol vs. Clan Gib.
- 11-09-97: Added the Clan Jalapeno vs. Death Row semifinal, and the games so far in the Clan Kapitol vs. Clan Gib semifinal. Death Row's Amazing Rotating Lineup has defeated my plan to always let the same player have the same jersey. :-( Had to give Geiger two different numbers for the two games.
- 11-08-97: Added the Death Corps vs. Clan Kapitol HPB quarterfinal demo, featuring some nifty new camera work from the latest version of the ClanRing code.
- 11-06-97: Added the Clan Gib vs. Original Gun Clappaz HPB quarterfinal demo.
- 10-29-97: Added the Death Corps vs. Knights of Perdition round 2 match ("the charge of the Quad lemmings"). Also changed the rosters so that they are generated client-side rather than downloaded from the server; I'm a little unhappy about how that apparently screws up both the colors and the horizontal centering of the table on some systems, but I'll live. Windows browsers seem to handle it OK, anyway.
- 10-27-97: I put this page up as an alternative to continually posting pointers on the T3 message board. Several demos below are "new" in that I haven't mentioned them on the message board yet: CJ vs. BoC LPB, Postal vs. DR LPB, and U4 vs. SS HPB. Also, I changed the Havoc vs. Nightbreed round 3 demo so that the Havoc players are marked in the same way as in the Unforgiven vs. Havoc quarterfinals demo.
Instructions:
Below are step-by-step instructions on how to use the custom player model. You don't have to use it, but if you don't, all players on a team will appear identical (as usual). Note: GLQuake users viewing these demos without using the custom player model as described below may see annoying warning messages. If you are a GLQuake user that really doesn't want to mess with the custom player model, then, ummm, why are you at this page? Go get the un-tweaked demo from the T3 site. If for some reason that's not an option, you can probably get rid of the error messages by using "-game ctf" on your Quake command line (assuming you have CTF installed), which will however have the interesting side effect of putting some of the players in CTF skins.
- Download and unzip the new player model (147 kB) for use when watching these demos. This will give you a "player.mdl" file.
- Place this player.mdl in the "progs" subfolder of some gamedir. For example, you could create the folder "t3" in your Quake folder, then create a "progs" folder inside the "t3" folder, and put the player.mdl inside "t3\progs".
- When you start Quake to watch one of these demos, use the -game option to use this new player model. To continue the example, if you put the player model in "t3\progs", you would start Quake with the "-game t3" option.
The Demos:
Here are links to the demos and team rosters. The "rosters" links show how each player is marked (requires JavaScript to be enabled). Roster positions are chosen at random initially, although once I've given a player a certain position he/she will keep that position in subsequent matches if possible.
