As I realised that all this wiki/php/database/dynamic/blah totally killed my productivity

You weren't doing something right. 

That's what I'm remembering. I also remember weeks of them warning people in advance "DON'T PANIC IT'S FAKE WE HAVE TO SPOIL EVERY POSSIBLE OUNCE OF FUN SO WE'RE NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING" 

no, it wasnt on abc. i wasnt living on the us back then. it was on cable, a hbo channel, or a similar one. it was either an american film or british one, thats for sure.

i also remember that the "things" that crashed on the big cities i think had the recordings that the nasa dudes sent out on space. you know, the golden record with the recordings and information about the planet and stuff.

man, i talked to my dad about it and i remember freaking out like hell when i saw it. :-D

i better get an account over at imdb and ask in there. somebody must know the name of this damn movie. 

without warming! from 1994!

http://imdb.com/title/tt0111735/

now to get the dvd! :-) 

it aired on ABC here. 

yeah, i found out about that once i started reading about it. i thought it was a cable movie but whateva'. im happy i found this caksaking movi. :-)

now to work with quake1 brushes, because they like to touch each other... sexually :-) 

Because I hope so. 

Lun seems to be getting lonely. 

that mmorpg guy makes me sad. i thought mmo games were about forming a society, but he's defining everything in advance ://// 

I must have missed the part where he said nobody ever forms guilds or alliances with anyone.

how exactly does faithfully translating a franchise to the MMO model make that not happen?

Woot. Now what about those 800 remaining descriptions? Phew. 

what's the difference between "SP Map" and "SP Mod?" It seems like a pointless distinction to split map releases based on whether there is a progs.dat included. 

I should write that somewhere. SP Maps are just one or several .bsp files. SP Mods come with modified progs.dat or new models/sounds/stuff.

It's not pointless but quite important in my opinion. A mod mostly always means there is new stuff, features, weapons, monsters. Also one does install it differently.
And it's been this way at Quaddicted since the beginning and not going to change. 

a good distinction, even if you can always design a case that won't fit (e.g. a pak with just bsps in it).

For me it's actually more difficult to distinguish between PC and TC. Even Malice that has almost all unique stuff, there's at least one std Q1 sound (the tarbaby sight sound). 

Even if that piece of data is quite important for the user to know, it does not mean that it has to become the primary organization of a collection of levels. A phone numbers is the most important data in a phone book listing, but phone books are not organized by area code.

I think, from the point of view of the actual user of a large collection of levels, it does not help me find maps if there are two different lists and I don't know which list it's in.

Use cases where it hurts:
* I want to find a level and I know the filename
* I want to find a level and I know the title
* I want to find all maps by an author
* I want to find all the highest rated levels

Use cases where it helps:
* I want to see levels which can go into 1d1/maps/

dodge and burn right on either the model or the UV texture, switching from either one as you please.

You got a point there (four actually). Here are csv files (tab delimiter) one could merge and sort for that task.

i can't see races that are that 'stereotypically' defined help the 'make the players make the environment live' thing. Societies (and conflicts between/in them) don't work that way, do they?

it would be different if there was this large pile of ressources in the middle of the countries and all countries had to fight / trade for it. Just saying "orks don't like elves" doesn't work (or maybe it does, but not for me). 

I'm willing to give the developer far more credit than to assume that every quest is going to be "You don't like greenskins so go kill ten of them" based on a necessarily short summary of Warhammer. 

have gyrocopters

and beer

yes... drunk at the controls of an already unstable flying machine. HELLOOO AWESEOME

dwarves also have axes... yes I love them dwarves. (I wonder if they have axes on chains like they do in the latest warhammer) 

I made my first attempt to create some dark ambient. Say something good/bad about it if it is worth continuing to do the such style:

Not bad, altho it needs more -- ambience, and could be longer. But it's a start =D 

I think what it lacks most is rhythm. All the amateur ambience I've heard follows the creative approach of "I found a really cool sound for this track, now I'm going to stick with it for two and a half minutes without coming up for air"

Not all good ambient tracks have discernable rhythm ( e.g. Quake soundtrack, last track ) but a lot do, and I think this track would be better for it.

Worth pursuing.
