Perfect~ 
I will find it eventually* 
@newhouse 
Post 582 in the Mark V thread has the download for that test map.

Just make use a texture starting with "mirror_" like "mirror_1" or "mirror_glass" and put it on a wall.

Mirrors heavily depend on vis and there is a list of "do" and "don't" especially for func_illusionary mirrors, but in a simple area and on worldmodel it is very easy. 
@Baker 
So do everything need to be under some draw distance limitations + it must twice the amount of draws? 
Hewhouse 
Yes, not a good idea to put a mirror in a wide open area with complex brush work and 200 monsters ;-) 
 
"Hewhouse" ... sorry. Lack of edit strikes again! 
A Method For Chaining Commands 
If you execute the following commands in the Quake console, you can create chained commands for a single keypress. You can create these kinds of commands automatically with a simple script and put them in a configuration file you load when you start your Quake engine.

bind p cmd1
alias cmd1 "echo cmd1; bind p cmd2"
alias cmd2 "echo cmd2; bind p cmd3"
alias cmd3 "echo cmd3; bind p outof"
alias outof "echo out of commands"

Unless I've made a typo above, this will cause the p key to be bound to an action that will print cmd1, cmd2 and cmd3 to the console consecutively and from then on print "out of commands."

If you replace the echo commands with record commands using unique demo names, you can use a single key to start recording a new demo after each death. You can create as many of these commands as you think you'll need in one Quake session. You have to pick the names of the demos in advance, so they'll need to be something like mydemo1, mydemo2 and so on.

This isn't a complete solution to the problem of recording multiple demos and naming them accurately. However, it doesn't require any external tools.

Any suggestions or corrections are greatly appreciated. I just thought of this idea today.

Just Browsed To Func Using Lynx 
Works pretty well, gave me bad ideas though, like piping the output to quake so I can browse in the console.

I think I'll stick with my current projects.

Ahoy 
Every so often I decide to have a poke around the quake arcade tournament stuff to see what I can do with it.

I decided to see if any of the qcc decompilers could work. I was able to decompile a small chunk before the decompiler shat itself.

If any of you want to dig through the qc files, here they are.

I included the PROGSQTV.DAT in the zip so you don't have to find the CHD file and bugger about with extracting it, just in case you want to decompile or play with it yourself.

Interestingly it looks like they borrowed heavily from the clan ring mod (http://www.crmod.com/).

I'd love if the quake executable itself could be decompiled, but I'm not sure how possible that is without a sentinel security dongle thingy. 
Arcade Quake 
I had a try installing all content to another computer. When decompliling it looked it had a windows version of its own included.
When started this version my computer was able to download the models (with baseskin frame included) maps and textures.
When I tried to start the arcade version my computer freezed and I had to make a new win install.

It seems as you could actually win money with it! 
 
i want my xmass crate
Haha

QuakeOS :) All terminals paned vertically in the (transparent?) console, notifications in the sbar and graphical apps in the game... with demos in the background if not playing.
