There's just one big problem with Darkplaces. It looks so massively different than the original renderer that it's sometimes hard to recognize the game anymore. I very much prefer Quakespasm for that reason alone.

 

 

GLQuake was so massively different from original Quake in DOS.

Well, that's certainly a new standard for drawing the line when modifications are acceptable and when not.

I use the same standards as for Doom: As long as it gracefully integrates with the original artwork it's fine (e.g. GZDoom's dynamic lights) but if it tries to reinvent the visuals from scratch I'm out.

 

 

I tried model and texture upgrades for DOOM but eventually went back to just the improved lighting, etc. DarkPlaces is great for Quake. They're different animals.
