I can't really claim to being particularly Old-School, I used to play Quake in 1997 on a P133 with 16mb RAM and Windows 95. I think. It was a long time ago. Err, it WAS a long time ago! I have only one map which I managed to salvage from some floppys, which I will never post, it's got three rooms and a corridor, and loads of trigger_once messages which make me laugh!
But really I only entered into this community last year! And my only other experience of mapping was for Witchaven 2, using the Duke Nukem Build engine.
(Gratuatous shots)

Hehe - I actually bought my copy of Quake and Witchaven 2 at the same time, from Cash Converters. I remember at the time pretty much all of the mods and tools I had came from PC game magazine CDs. And to think I downloaded the Bioshock demo the other day, just to see how my PC handled it (!)
Hehe - Anyhoo, I know some of you guys must have some pretty cool more public old-school tie-ins n' stuff. Reminisce / fight about it here!
Also somebody should be eventually humiliated / named as the most old school Quaker here!
(a true old school person would never post on a thread like this ?) |

The Witchaven 2 shots are not my maps. My maps sucked! It was just meant to remind people of the olden days, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and my dad was a young boy....

You can just about claim to be nu-skool, lol.
CZG is probably right (apart from the female bit....he's been after my ring too many times). I think Bal is pretty old skool too.
(Old skool for the community that is, rather than gaming).

Are there two categories here? Or more? (refering to being old-school that is, not age)

I am definitely not the MOST old-school person here, I have been a regular to different QMap/Qboard/etc iterations and #terrafusion since 1998.

I would you are only old-school if your mind is..... It is like music, if you find it "too loud", it's because you're too old...
Anyway, I played Doom, Doom2, and Quake on its release in the 90ies, so am I old school ? I don't know, maybe mapping for Quake make me old school, though... I don't think I am old-school, and clearly I don't care: I just want a have fun in mapping and playing other mappers' maps !
![](images/clear.gif) Meh

I go back as far as Quake/Quake2. I didn't really start playing games until a year before Quake 2 was released. I sort of considered gamers as socially retarded losers, until I started playing games myself - that was when it dawned on me that I was also a socially retarded loser.
Even then, it was many years after that before I bothered having a go at mapping.

Fairly old school because I still play and make maps for Quake 1.

What czg and Lun said (Sleep still posts occaisionally tho, but he works with headshot iirc)
I thought Sham was fairly old timey tho, I'm sure you were reviewing before I discovered worldcraft.
Scampie is surprisingly old timey too, damn shrimp has been around forever. (And iirc was the one who posted the QBoard is dying thread ;)
Anyway, this thread is somewhat pointless epeening (and given I think it spawned from a post I made, I'm very, very sorry), the only useful thing I can think of is; does anyone have archives of QBoard/PnF/QMap lying around? I know that the QBoard archive was uploaded by headshot a while back, but then it disappeared again :(
Oh, and Willem = Taskmaster?

Yeah, Taskmaster.

That was too fast a reply man, go work on Gears2 and send me a copy kthxbai. Completed the first one too many times to replay now :(
(Oh, and less caves pls ;)
But yeh, in that case Willem is scarily old school too.

Frib and Shambler have been 'here' the longest.
And yes, I did post that thread. I also did this:

until '03. Mapped for Thief in '01. Did some machinima for Deus Ex (thanks Willem, UnrealEd 2 was very helpful for that) in between. Before that, back in the 80's when I had an Amiga and an Atari ST, there were few commercially available games, but there were magazines available at the time with pages of game code. I would type in the code only to find that most games ran too slow to be fun. With that problem in hand I taught myself assembly to eek out some speed in that shit. One game was a Time Bandits clone. Quite amusing.

when Wolfenstein came out, I was heavily into fantasy RPG's like Ultima 4&5&6. I had an elitist attitude towards shooters at the time, and regarded them as being too simplistic.

Was a tie between that and the standard logo mug, but I like the idea of getting a mug with a domain that is now camped by a sales page

it brings a tear to the eye! :)
I got my 1st pc in 1996 and got connected to the net in 97' ish I think.
I think duke nukem 3d was the first thing I ever installed on my pc, then Quake of course, and only in that order because I had the duke 3d disks on me at the time the pc arrived :)
Yeah, floppy disks, I am old-skool!
![](images/clear.gif) OMG
Scampie you fucking legend, I've been wanting a replacement Electric Fish mousepad for ages and I couldn't remember where the hell that site was...
And look at that "who's who" shirt! (Go for the larger image option, choose the back and then go ZOOM IN... !)
