hey everyone long time...

anyways i wanted to start making some doom3 maps but apparently if you uninstall doom3 its impossible to reinstall it cause the MSI thing for it sucks.

anyone know any workarounds for this? i constantly get "1628: Installation is unable to complete", only pak files get copied over during the install, no .exes, no registry stuff, copying the files directly doesnt work either. 

Yes, I got your e-mail, but I forgot. I'm sorry. I have sent you two e-mails, and I hope to test your map tomorrow night or on Sunday. 

i missed you by 30 minutes! 

It's okay. I was just really drunk, and boredom set in. 

From the upcoming MMOFPS game built on the Unreal Engine 3.

Not really impressed by the graphics. Looks about like Doom 3 without the plastic sheen. To be honest graphics don't impress me anymore.

On the other hand it'll be interesting to see a large scale game not making graphical compromises. 

the lighting looks wrong/too strong for the greycloudy sky and it looks a bit too flat in the areas in shadow

Also looking for the full version of The Sword of Ares, and Francis Faeron's singleplayer map for Malice, titled Complex 24-A. (complex2.zip)

Thanks for all the help. 

So what site does one go to for getting quality Quake 3 and CPMA maps? I am sure there have been a lot of nice maps released since I last had Q3 installed (over a year and a half) and LVL seems to have gone downhill pretty bad (rarely updated and completely shitlooking maps in the "top" lists). 

Hey, I'd like to get erc's maps as well. I'll add them to the upcoming archive then :) 

you can find here: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames2/planetquake/talon . 

it's a Q2SP map ... 

How would I go about finding out some site that lists (frequently updated) player statistics for online FPS games (including the older ones: read q/q2/q3)? Google isn't being cooperative. 

Since nobody's posted a question I can answer for the past 24 hours or so, I thought I'd post this, so at least it's written down somewhere:

If you have to change a console command as part of your map pack/mod or whatever, don't package a copy of autoexec.cfg or config.cfg with your mod. You'll just screw up people's custom configs, and then they'll delete your config, and then the command won't get run. Your mod won't run correctly! Thousands will die!

Instead, the correct way to do it is this. Make a copy of quake.rc - you'll find it in pak0 or your id1 directory. Open it in notepad and you'll see it calls all the config.cfg and the startdemos and that kind of stuff. So, add another config file to the list, like "exec yourmappack.cfg". Try and make it a name that nobody would use normally, so that you won't overwrite anything. Then put yourmappack.cfg and your new quake.rc in your base mod directory. And you're done!

Here endeth the lesson.

jesus fuck that makes me feel old >:{ 

of course, is will it be able to handle Insomnia or Bastion.

I don't think this is the first mobile phone 3d game however as Hollenshead seems to be saying in the article; Jacco Bikker worked on something like this a few years back. 

Yeah, I remember that Q1 phone engine thing a while back...

Did that actually go anywhere? 

I seem to remember a guy coming to func a year or so ago looking for people to make maps for a project like this. Not the same guy since this seems to be a direct port of quake, but still is interesting to see this actually produced since we mostly shot the idea down. 

that an idea was sneered at on this jolly board?! 

Yes. And as I remember, it was wrath who was the pot-stirrer on that occassion. Oh irony etc. 

As I recall it, that mobile guy came across as a bit of a dodgy geezer, looking to con some mappers into making him some free content for his shady commercial gain. I think that's why it was sneered at, although I'd have to check the thread to be sure. This is why I hate mobiles in general, as it seems to give any old shyster an excuse to make $$$ OMG CASH DOLLARS $$$ with ringtones and crazy frog bullshit, and now I guess the same will happen with games BUT WITH 500% FREE BRAIN CANCER!!!
