I'm keeping the Quaddicted page open and refreshing every day. This is awesome, like a trip back to the 90's! :D 

Well done 

It's going great. The articles remind me of the first months I started playing Quake (that was a bit late though, in the midst of 2004). Keep up the good work everyone, it's highly appreciated. 

onetrupurple translated a great piece of Polish fan-fiction for us: https://www.quaddicted.com/quake_advent_calendar_2013/1-6#th_december_-_onetruepurple 

I very much appreciate onetruepurple's efforts there. One thing to note is that at some point that site mirrored the Dank and Scud comic, and their mirror still stands. Just as good as it ever was. 

Day 6!

Reminds me of visiting Ramshackle back in the day. (Which reminds me, it would be kind of cool to resurrect that site and save it from its dead-Java-navigation).

I also remember playing a lot of these on the old GGH custom maps server. (Great Green Heron I think?) Especially Clockwork, and efdm9 and other Frib maps. And I still play Spine duels when we have sporadic resurrections of the Shacknews quakeworld server. Good stuff maynard.

Not Ramshackle, but still most of the old great maps 

That's a good page, glad it was saved.

It's also possible to get to a lot of the Ramshackle content thru archive.org, either by trawling all the ramshackle/* URLs:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://planetquake.com/ramshackle/*

...or by looking at the source of the root page, since it lists the other main pages in the arguments that it fed to its Java navigation widget. Most of the screenshots seem to be lost tho. 

Emergency filler for Day 7:

Come play the Quake Shareware in your browser. Either singleplayer or even deathmatch on some of the maps Scampie showed us the other day:

Play the Quake Shareware singleplayer episode at http://webquake.quaddicted.com/

Play Quake Deathmatch in your browser at http://webquake.quaddicted.com/WebQuake.htm?+connect%20ws://webquake.quaddicted.com:26000

(Firefox or Chrome/ium work best) 

Preach is a genius. 

crazy hack @_@ 

is some kind of fucking witch that needs to be burned. 

You're now top of the sacrifice to Shub list. 

Dayum. 

Preach is messing with black magic and needs to be stopped! 

The Man Knows How to Mod! 

I really wish the upside-down vores and eyeball guys were regular enemies. It's rare that a quake mod gets me laughing and I really howled at this one. Bravo. 

Hey guys, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks to Spirit for running the Advent Calendar, I've had the idea of a modified save-game in my back pocket for a while, and this finally gave me a deadline to get something done. It works a lot like entity hacking, but with many of the constraints removed, so you can get some pretty "out-there" behaviour.

Fifth: The upside-down Vores are actually pretty simple mechanically. At first I created Vores that spawn upside-down, but when I teleported them, the teleporter actually undid the hack and turned them right-way-up! So the finished game doesn't actually hack the Vores, but just the teleporter destination - an idea that works fine as a conventional entity hack. Of course, a proper mod could do upside-down Vores better, but the option is there. 

I've seen the teleport destination hack done to the player view as well. 

Quake savegames were text files until yesterday. Thanks for that awesome bit of knowledge. 

That was freaking hilarious. Lots of surreal stuff going on in there. 

didnt realy get a smooth run yet, 3:53 best time so far, not realy worth uploading

The Quake fanfiction tidal wave continues!

But what the heck is a Rubicon Rumble Pack? 

Currently in production, based off Rubicon2.
