Nice map you realesed over at SDA.
I really liked it. Good work. 
Trinca's Map... 
is very fun! His best to date :^)

Linux And ARGH And Quake And Sound 
I now installed Debian (Etch) and try to get Quake to run with sound. Seems to be quite a hard adventure. Darkplaces does work fine though. I think Darkplaces uses SDL for sound and stuff. But I don't want to use this crappy engine (buggy and feels like playing with lag). Are there any other modern Quake engines that use SDL for sound? I so far tried tyr-glquake and that mfxgl(?) quake. Both give me some mmap error in the console.





PS: trinca's map is nice indeed 
Install Windows 
Problem solved. 
 
Ask on the debian forums (or the ubuntu ones - ubuntu is based on debian.) The linux community is normally very much willing to help.

I have no idea if any quake clients use sdl. Joequake does not, nor does proquake.

Joequake runs fine for me using alsa. Proquake also ran, and fuhquake, and quake2... Does sound work in other apps (mp3 players, movie players etc)? Do you have OSS (an older sound standard) emulation enabled in the kernel? You use debian, so I assume you know what you're doing.

Why didn't you install ubuntu or suse? They're probably much friendlier than straight debian.

Hmmm... are you running kde or something like that? KDE has a sound server (arts) to enable multiple apps sharing the sound device. Go into the control center and try disabling that.

That's all I can say because you didn't say what exactly the problem was.

If you can't be bothered to invest some time and energy and use the community to solve problems, then linux is not meant for you. Very simple. If that is the case, follow czg's advice.

And czg, that should be "This problem solved, other problems invited."

:-) 
Thanks Golden_boy! 
I got some help by a friend and it seems like my onboard chip just sucks. I'll look for a good pci card and try again then.
Linux definitely is what I want. And Debian is the right choice. ;)

Kinda Looks 
like Joe on the Family Guy, but that's due to the poorly proportioned haunching shoulders. 
Quake Royale

That sounds really, really cool, it'd be a shame to not have anyone playing it. 
Help Me Locate A Map! 
Problems. I can't remember the name or the author, but I can try describing what I remember.

It was like this:
- For Quake
- DM support
- Industrial style with dark textures (think Rubicon)
- Some slime
- Heavy use of curves
- Some very abstract curvy structures
- By a fairly famous mapper, though he didn't release that many levels

So far, I located Symbiotic Pipe Dream on MPQ:

But I'm not entirely sure if that's the right one, so if you know of any others that fit the criteria, do post a link!

Or if you're lazy, mock me instead. 
 
Paul never interviewed me for that site. Paul's a dick.

Is he still around?

Might you be thinking of Ruby Midnight by Gilt, the same author?

Indeed. 
 
Why 
don't they paynt their own books? 
C&C 3 Demo 
anyone tried it? Pretty good stuff, although it's a bit buggy (it is by EA).

I also refuse to believe EA developed this engine- it runs far too smooth. 
Good How? 
Is it good if you liked the old games and just more of the same, or are there many new features and interface enhancements. I heard there is no order queueing, which sounds retarded, since you could queue just about everything in Total Annihilation 8 years ago.
