I really enjoy flicking through the various descriptions when you guys at Quaddicted add updates! 

The description for 'thefly' should simply be:

I believe thefly is a map by Markus Klar made in '98. In '98, Markus Klar made a map called thefly. Markus Klar made a map in '98 called thefly.


(go back in func history if you need to get the joke) 

ao I'll just give it away.

Markus Klar is a near anagram for Bono's birth name. It is off by a few letter's, but that is due to Gaelic alliteration. The Fly, of course, being a reference to the second best track on Achtung Babe (The Acrobat being the best one).

Also, if you find the un(entity)declared door switch secret you will find a pentagon shaped room with the letters, V-O-X on the back three walls. As in, Bonovox, those guitarheads in the Music thread will know that one. Good stuff. 

Release a Q1 SP map please thx. 

It's cooking.... but you will need to be patient: I have a serious lack of free time these days ;) 

Wouldnt want to rush would I!

New maps will have 300+ monsters on hard!
All the weapons
Many monsters (as before but with Ogres and Shamblers too)

Give me about 1 weeks I think!!

Would you like to help with the final playtesting Shambler? 

 

For you I have outdone myself: http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/spmapforshambler.bsp

RickyT23: Good maps are not rushed! 

Some months to go yet. 

Can I do some testing? Can I, can I ?!??! :-) 

Not yet ;) 

calmdown!!! i got two in the cook! release date untill 03/08 i hope... 

I think you guys are thinking of a map called Markus Klar, made by a guy called 'The Fly'

with crates no less! 

even when they're used to reconstruct the twin towers but the towers are wearing top hats and then a plane flies into them. Watch the video if you think I'm actually crazy. 

I was disappointed not to see the crate-twin-towers being crashed. 

Why the fuck does IE7 have to render tables in a fucking idiotic way?

Opera, Firefox, IE5 display at least remotely sane stuff. (FF and IE5 can't vertically align cell contents, which is completely retarded of course.)

But with IE7 the narrowest table cells flow over the whole page...

I'm fed up with this!

Now I have to install IE7 and start troubleshooting just to customize the page for it.

I'll only work with hardware in the future.

This is fucking 2007 for fuck's sake. Would think they had gotten stuff to work in the last ten years. 

by the short version of Big Lebowski on youtube, a movie that I didn't really like originally anyway. 

and recently found out Darkplaces & dpmod have a incredible func_snow. :)

I must have the wrong drivers :-(
Weird tho - I thought in this day and age drivers would be correctly installed automatically (?)
I just get 13 seconds of black.

:-( 

You'll to have a x264 capable codec or a player like VLC. 

Looks cools! Does func_snow overide skybox? Looks like a blizzard! 

Overrides the skybox then? Either way looks pretty nice, might be time to experiment with Dark Places, I always wanted proper rain in Quake. Zerstorer was ok but didn't feel much like rain to me. 

Looks a bit better with bloom enabled.

Yes, the fog is what overrides the sky. Volumetric(?) fog would be awesome, something like a func_fog soft very soft, moving edges. Rawr! There is a Telejano build & mod which has some kind of snowy e1m1 with fog on the floor. Looks quite nice.


The thing with Darkplaces is that the game feels somewhat different. :\ 

AFAIK, only aguirRe's engine allow to have both fog and skybox rendering, and with all other engines, fog overrides skybox.

Maybe DP or other enhanced GL engine would allow shuch a feature... more tests are required :P
