What's going on? I'm the only person there?
Is this some sort of huge netsplit? 

Obviously the internet doesn't like you.

I'm in there and everything looks normal. Stupid question, but you are on the right network aren't you? 

Hehe, maybe it's a very small netsplit involving only one victim: you :) 

can I please request mp3/ogg whatever support for quake music? My cd is not going to last much longer I think. 

... implement it in the same fashion as Darkplaces so players wont have to deal with different ways of custom cd tracks. 

noted.

(already on my list, actually) 

how did the hdd recovery go by the way? just curious because I'm hoping rubicon 2 will resurface one day... You also mentioned that your fq source after 0.8 was lost, so that's why I remembered. 

saw the screenies over at qexpo, maps look great. 

So...

1) Where do all the cool half life 2 mappers hang out these days?

2) What are the HL2 maps that are considered the pinacle of user made shiznat atm (dm & sp, but sp for preference)?


And no this isn't a betrayal of my roots to map for the current trendy games, oh no, it's... it's... oh god, I'm sorry, please forgive me mummy ;) 

Seconding nonentity's questions. Tried Coastline to Atmosphere, was at best average, Minerva doesn't work, and the rest that are posted here don't seem worth playing. 

There are NO cool HL2 mappers. But, czg idles #tf. Blitz idles #tf too (on more than one server.) Other than those two, I dunno. 

I thought Minerva was really nice, didn't have any trouble getting it to work.
Haven't tried any other HL2 sp stuff, as I haven't heard of any other good maps... 

Anyone here going to Fragapalooza? 

I thought the question was about where to find good maps, not people who made terrible maps. 

It was about where the queers are at anyway... 

Minerva : metastasis 1 & 2 are the best releases so far, I also enjoyed "das roboss" a 3 level pack which had some great combat and decent visuals plus you get to pilot a mech at the end :D

tbh thats all thats worth checking out atm, kinda sucks eh. Sorry dont have dl links :( 

A new page at my website, i added a Q1SP Hall of Fame 2, for more recent maps:

Quake Condensed actually made it into a hall of fame? No one is more surprised than I, although I'm still quite fond of rpgsmse4 - Whispering Shadows. 

your brushwork is always good to look at. :o 

in engines like fitz/aguire's, is it better to play with -bpp 32 or without ?

does it make any difference ? 

in both aguire and fitzquake, when I play with no cd (ie no music), sound is perfectly fine. When I play with music, there is a lot of distortion in sound effects. Any ideas ?

Secondly, and this is more a question for metl, on my new system fitzquake runs terribly. Even in the stock quake levels.

Granted, I'm running in 1280*1024 with 8xAA and 16x Anistropy, but on the same settings, aguire's engine flies. Unless it doesnt do AA or Anistropy ??

Have a geforce 7900 and an AMD 3700, can give you full specs via email if you want. 

doesn't stifle creativity -- you guys arguing about it does.

whenever there is even a hint of a possible flame, someone will use that occasion to proclaim their moral superiority by responding to the precedings in a tone of nuetrality, as if they were 'above the fray', 'tut tuting' those who are involved.

Of course, you are the one who jumped in this time. However, to get to that point where you could make your claim, you had to mischaracterize my postings. I gave what I thought was a well thought out reponse, and I avoided insulting anyone. When Blackdog went through the roof, behaving at a threat level Red to a posting that was at best a mild light Blue, I did not raise the vitriole any higher.

But you mischaracterized my post as an argument, as well as oversimplifying the opinion stated in it. I have avoided arguments for at least a few years on this board because I do not like the schisms they create, nor the time they waste. 

Did I miss something? A deleted post? IRC drama on func? 

Flattery will get you nowhere. Seriously. �_�

Here, have a beer. 

cheers.
