Quantum of Solace: Element

A hobby project modification made to improve on the horrible PC port of James Bond: Quantum of Solace, for the multiplayer portion of the game.

(Current) Features

• Allows for windowed mode
• Allocates external DVAR console

Planned Features

• FPS Unlock (reimplement working (com_maxfps)
• Ingame Console GUI w/keybind (~)
• Allow Simple GSC/MENU rawfile loading
• Fix the horrendous looking way-too-close viewmodel FOV
• Reimplement proper dvars for windowed/fullscreen instead of a D3D9 workaround
• Rework entire project into a "bootstrap" so i can force stuff pre-game load.

Hopeful Features

• Gradual custom zone support with support gradually adding additional rawfiles such as anims, weapons, and maps
• Custom launcher
• Removal of GFWL and re-implementing connect command to get actual multiplayer back
• Cross-porting from IW3/4->QoS

How to compile, setup, and run

• Run premake5 vs2022 or use the delivered premake5.bat.
• Build via solution file in build\d3d9-wrapper.sln.
• Open d3d9.ini using a text editor and edit the INI's AppEXE argument to: JB_LiveEngine_s.exe
• Copy d3d9.dll and d3d9.ini to the game's folder.
• Create a shortcut to the game's launcher: "JB_Launcher_s.exe", and within the Target line, add -novids -multi at the end.
