which is the best site to browse custom maps for UT 2004? 

The only site I can think of off the top of my head is http://ut2k4.gamebanana.com/

The jam will get cold if left out too long Daz. 

I'm thinking I will start the event this saturday 21st and run the event for 2 weeks, ending the weekend of the 5th (sunday April 5th)

I will make a proper news post and all that shizzle 

I think I will make a rule that the arena has to contain an interesting or unique twist, as I want to avoid receiving 6 arena maps where you fight monsters and that is all that you do :) 

Arena must contain at least one penis. 

 

cheers - found that site a bit "meh", but mapraider.com seemed to be pretty good. 

This is pretty cool ... A Qonquer map jam that kicks off on my birthday. Perfect. :) 

That's a slice of birthday cake.

Yeah. I don't get the remaking Quake in higher def graphics. As if it needs that... 

fuck you guys, that's pretty nice.

It would fit in a high def Quake. Just needs NIN scratched into the paint somewhere, and some blood splatters from the marines who died inches away from the health pack. "The charm" of the original Quake health pack? It's a fucking cube, there is not a single iota of charm in it.

We should be so glad that health kits would exist in this future Quake... id is just as likely to put fucking health dispensers on the walls, or worse, just fucking regenerating health. 

and the low pollygoons.

Once you start trying to make the quake all realistic and militaristic, you lose the quakiness of the quake. 

But DAT health.... 

take literally any action game with a semi-realistic aesthetic released in the last 10 years, and you'll see all sorts of forgettable ammo boxes and crates and whatever that look just like that. it's just really generic and unremarkable prop stuff. 

I've never quite understood how "higher def" assets always seem to become so colour desaturated - dull even. Quake might be mocked for being so brown, but it's not that brown.

I don't have any complaints about the model though, looks how I'd expect a higher poly version of it could look. 

The original is charming, to me anyway. The way-oversized rivets, exaggerated thickness of the trim, the warm colours, the huge bright red cross symbols. I like the vague materials - not really sure if it's made of cardboard or metal.

With the high-res one I see more details from everyday objects. A band equipment case or a shipping crate. The keypad from a payphone. The corner bits are rubber? It's a cool model, just less quakey. 

It's a fucking cube

Nice geometry knowledge. 

The future is in cans! 

tyrintro.wav, from OUM i suppose. i'd love to hear the full version. where is it from?
