Did so today, but I'm quite busy just now. What you were asking will be done by the weekend though. Got a few other ideas to throw your way too. 

 

That's like, tomorrow at god knows when for me. maybe by lunchtime! :) 

I needed to convert a few hundred .obj files to 3ds, and I stumbled on this on my Google inquiry --

scroll down to Biturn -- I had the conversion done in several seconds. Saved a load of time. Sweet Jesus, it's a mitzvah. 

...no! Hints incoming. 

Just got done playing the sp demo -- what fun! It runs better on my comp than Q4! Can't wait to get my greedy little paws on the full version. I'll want to try out MultiPrey tonight, and see how much fun that is. 

And it was excellent.
The bar scene was awesome, and the gravity fuckery? Completely disorienting! 

For some reason I click on my GS_Prey_Demo.exe and nothing happens. So I have to try Fileplanet. I hate you GameS4wk. 

Prey looks like it's going to be great fun. Gravity, portals etc. really do add quite a lot to the experience and performance is good. On the down side the lead character is a whiney little bitch with a penchant for constantly stating the obvious, and really needs to shut the fuck up. Enemy AI seems OK but nothing spectacular. Environments were nice with the whole organic spaceship thing rather well done.

The multiplayer is not as good as the SP, it seems really gimmicky and random.

Overall it was a great experience though, I'll definitely be buying it. Anyone know anything about this download service they're selling it through? Is it as fair, equitable and portable as Steam or a load of old hardware locked shite? If it's cheaper I'd rather get a download version than boxed.

Zwiffle: A couple of ideas spring to mind. First, there may be some shit in your windows temp folder that's fouling it up (like some sort of leftover install log that matches the profile of Prey's and says "yup, I've finished installing this") so delete all that crap and try again. Second, it might be some sort of protected installer fuckery, so if you have any any virtual drives etc. disable them then try installing again. 

I see you figured it out... or maybe just downloaded again. 

first from Gamespy. That's the one that didn't work. Then I deleted that one and downloaded from Fileplanet - which I like - and that one worked splendidly. Also downloaded a million times faster than Gamespy's. Thx though. 

 

Gamespot != Gamespy 

They either do their own thing, or pass it on to FileFront -- they rock. 

If I may say. Still the mostest awesomest by a great many miles. 

zwiffle, gamespy is fileplanet. gamespy download links redirect to fileplanet. do you have raging pink eye or something? 

chops is correct. No, I don't have raging pink eye. 

Happy birthday Quake!

Quake was not only responsible for countless hours (years!) of fun... it has changed my life for the better!

I have to thank all the mappers and other chaps who have not only kept the game alive, but have also helped the game evolve over the years. Quake today would be a good deal less intresting without all of your valuable contributions.

Hurrah! 

for the worse, you mean? 

well, it did bring us together 

So you're saying it WAS for the worse then? ;) 

thanks for the clarification man im sure it helped a lot of people 

Metl changed the crate icon! [Gasp] 

The Killer Crate icon is still there. That thing that looks like a block of port cheese is the Cube icon. 

is that the pimp hat icon is still there.
