No April Fools joke here, a few Google engineers ported it in their spare time: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhMN0wlITLk&feature=player_embedded[/media] Fucking amazing :aaaaa:
Holy shit.
Awesome.
Wow...
It's on Mac and Linux, who wants to build it in Windows for us?
hollly shit
fuck you flash
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;21115489]fuck you flash[/QUOTE] This.
Hope it's not that laggy as it seems to be :ohdear:
As they put it in the video, all a client needs is Safari or Chrome. This only needs compiling and running on a Web Server. [b]Edit:[/b] You need full access to run any servers you want, not just a web server. Thanks to Hexxeh for this info.
So we're back to running Quake at shit fps. Web apps for the fucking failure.

[QUOTE=BmB;21117145]So we're back to running Quake at shit fps. Web apps for the fucking failure.[/QUOTE] This is all in a [I]fucking brower[/I]. Do you have any idea?
Give me 10 minutes, I'll get a copy set up for everyone.
Shiiiiiiiit that brings back some fucking kickass memories.
[QUOTE=Dj-J3;21116727]Hope it's not that laggy as it seems to be :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Give it a couple years for browsers to get better and for HTML5 to actually be used, I'm amazed at how well it works for HTML5 being so...... alpha
This is awesome.
Guy playing sucks. Should have gotten someone better who knows what they are doing.
[QUOTE=Jurikuer;21118874]Guy playing sucks. Should have gotten someone better who knows what they are doing.[/QUOTE] It's the benchmark, actually. [img]http://grab.by/3uzr[/img] Multiplayer crashes on the latest WebKit nightly build for me, though.
[QUOTE=Jurikuer;21118874]Guy playing sucks. Should have gotten someone better who knows what they are doing.[/QUOTE] Wow. Just...wow. I'm surprised nobody went "BUT QUAKE LIVE ALREADY RUNS IN A BROWSER" yet, like people usually do. When I first heard about Quake Live I thought it was something like this. Lets see what we can do with this in 5 years.
Aw hell yeah, it works! :v: Thanks Hexxeh! No sound though, maybe I need to look in the options again. [editline]e[/editline] No, couldn't get sound working, but that doesn't matter. Quake 2 in a browser!
So the in the future wait for Doom 3 in php

Unity is better though.
Btw, you need more than just a webserver for this, any old hosting account won't work. I'm running it on my VPS platform EU node, as it requires a Java application be run.
[QUOTE=ShitBalls;21120392]Unity is better though.[/QUOTE] You miss the point. This is achieved completely with open-source web standards (and soon to be web standards, in the case of HTML5) which means no third-party plugins, every web standards compliant browser would support it natively, and anyone can improve on it. Unity, by comparison, is just a game engine requiring a closed-source 3rd party plugin, very similar to Flash, or even just an executable. (e.g. Quake Live) No-one would disagree that Unity is much better polished right now, but this is cutting edge. Even the implementations of HTML5 used to make this haven't been finalised yet (hence no Firefox support). It's bound to be a little rough. Think towards the future, don't assume this is all it will accomplish. It's very early for HTML5, but this makes a strong argument to the power it opens for web developers.
So how do i get this?
While Hexxeh is still running the server, you can get one of the compatible browsers from here: [url]http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/wiki/CompatibleBrowsers[/url] Launch it as specified on that page, then just go to [url]http://helium.hexxeh.net:8080/GwtQuake.html[/url]
Cant get it to work, i have the chromium thing and i did run it with those commands thing. [editline]07:27PM[/editline] there i got it
