Slip & Frag V1.0.29 Is Out!
Slip & Frag, the sourceport of the Quake engine for VR and modern desktop systems, has been updated to version 1.0.29 .

Support for (semi-)transparent surfaces and objects has, finally, been added to the engine, for *all versions* of the app (even the desktop versions!)

In order to support this, a breaking change was needed, which updates the network protocol to support new "scale" & "alpha" server attributes. What this means is, if you have a client for version 1.0.28 or earlier, you won't be able to connect to a 1.0.29 server - you will need to update to the latest version to do so.

Also, all kinds of improvements and bug fixes to support even more custom maps & mods. In particular, I'm proud to announce that support for Raven Keep and Slayer's Testaments is now available in this version - and potentially many other mods.

So, go ahead, update to the latest version in your device or computer, by either going to SideQuest or by checking https://github.com/Izhido/SlipNFrag/releases/tag/v1.0.29, and let me know what do you think! Feedback is always welcome.

Slip & Frag - Release 1.0.28 Is Out
Due to a recent migration I performed of the Bitbucket repository into GitHub, there is now a new release of Slip & Frag, the Quake sourceport for modern machines & VR devices.

The new version has a fix for a few unexpected bugs related to model, sound and particle handling in the core engine. Also, most visual artifacts present in large maps / mods were finally removed, due to optimizations applied to surface lightmap handling when rendering the VR versions. And, finally, there is now a new PCXR version (that is, a PCVR version that runs in Windows, that uses the OpenXR runtime from Meta for their devices) which should run as well as the standalone version.

Get the details and the downloads for all releases at https://github.com/Izhido/SlipNFrag/releases/tag/v1.0.28 . Also, the app is available in SideQuest at https://sidequestvr.com/app/28180/slip-frag .

As usual, feedback is welcome. Be sure to visit the Discussion channel in GitHub and leave your impressions of the new release!

Colony 3: Demon Keep (Q1SP)
A new map has just been added to Quaddicted that AFAIK hasn't been posted on any news channels yet.

Some of you with a good memory of classic 90s Quake custom maps may recall a two-part series "Colony" and "Colony 2: The Culling Station", by Mark Turner. Well, 27 years later, he has returned with the next map in the series (his words: "I got side-tracked, I guess")

The map follows a classic episode 1 medieval theme (think E1M2-E1M3) and can be downloaded from here: https://www.quaddicted.com/db/v1/maps/a25043c2b6c1c73b24e4a00c63d95a8a9e08943d8b8e39d7c4571ae3a1899d99

If you wanted to check out the previous two maps in the series you can find them here: https://www.quaddicted.com/db/v1/?include=metadata-%3Etags.cs.%5B%22author%3DMark+Turner%22%5D

Reviews on Quaddicted are encouraged!

Re:Mobilize Jam 2: Re:Visions
A set of 6 maps, plus a start map, created for a map jam event held from January 1, 2025 to February 8, 2025, using the Re:Mobilize mod. The objective of this jam was to re:imagine multiplayer maps from different games as single player experiences, all while making use of the three Re:Mobilize mechanics (trampolines, wiremeshes, and lighthooks/lightpanels).
