Thanx For The Quake Links 
I'll try them and see how they work. I'll have to fire up my Mac and hook it up to my PC to transfer my gig+ worth of quake files over (that I haven't played in 3 years).

On Omicrons: there used to be a regular Omicron bot competition for Mac Quake players (later some of them got PCs so I think the rules relaxed a bit, but by then it was dying out anyway). JVOX was one of the regulars. The competitions were always on custom maps, and many of the same people played on Zappa's Visi Quakeworld custom maps server. Ah, the good old days! 
Antone Know Where This Quote's From 
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I don't know where it originally came from, but I have a shirt that says that. Someone gave it to me as a gift, and she got it from ThinkGeek.com. 
Phait: 
I loved QuakeOn. I wish I knew were to find it again. Has it been updated at all? 
QuakeOn 
Was in my favorites, so...

http://www.planetquake.com/quakeon/

Source code was released in 2000...
this thing hasn't really been updated. 
Qw Ffa Day

request for more of the http://www.planetquake.com/vondur/img/180503/DSC01010.JPG - like pictures in hi rez 
Speedstar 
werkin on it!

That was photosourced I assume...? Bit too much reflection off the upper sufaces towards the left :/ But rust is nice anyway. 
 
mmm, beer...I need beer. And stuff. 
Kell 
yes, since i'm just learning photography i made that mistake. realised it after i was far away from the object and looked at the foto on the big screen.
i'll re-shoot this rusted piece properly though :) 
Thank God For Photoshop 
Fixed those white-ish parts on the rust

Yo.... 
Von, use the dodge and burn tools in photoshop to bring it together, no need to reshoot the image. Dodge makes lighter and burn makes darker. You can get rid of nasty highlites, and other scanner artifacts as well using them. 
Elek 
uh, will try that, thanks
but why not to re-shoot if i can? i have to raise my photoskillz up, to reduce post-shooting image editing as much as i can :) 
 
Alternatively, you can just scansource an object directly.
And when it comes to seamlessly tesselating the a texture and removing artifacts, use the 'heal' tool ( the lil band-aid icon ); that's what it's designed for. 
Pics 
there is no point to photoshop yourself, leave it to me :)
just make more material shots at the close range and direct angle please

some industrial details at close range would be neice as well 
Can Anyone Suggest A Game For Me? 
basically, i'm looking for something like System Shock 2.

good, engaging story
SP
Sci-Fi prefered...
attention to detail
made at least after and including 2000.

any thing? 
Um 
Played Elite Force? Definitely not scary, but interesting. There's also Deus Ex which everyone should play if they haven't already. None of these are horror, mind you. Undying is a good shot if that's what you're after, but it's more fantasy than sci-fi. 
Hmm 
Not related to anything, but...

Here's a text-based adventure game that even incompetents can play: http://digital-eel.com/dod/

It's called Dunjon Of D�m, and is created by Zdim. 
Elite Force 
EF2 looks incredible, download the demo and check it out! Its great and actually enjoyable for non Star Trek fans... 
Necros 
Aliens vs Preadtor 2 would be my first recommendation.

and Elite force too. And yes with the talented level/model design team at Ritual, EF2 does look very nice and more importantly playable on my now near ancient gf + p3-733. 
Great Engaging Sci-Fi Game 
fallout 1/2

not Sci-Fi : mororwind 
nice work phait. how's your textures doing?

are you making anything atm? 
Thanks Guys... 
i played the Elite Force demo a year ago, thought about buying it then just plain forgot about it. :P

both Fallouts look cool, but i was really looking for a fp game.

about AvP2, do you need to play the original to get the sequel? (like SS2) 
AVP2 
Nope. Totally self-contained AFAIK. Pretty involving too =).

DX is the closest to SS2 obviously. Other games mention will fit the rest of your criteria.

If you broaden your search to simpler FPS games in fantasy/realish, I'd recommend Undying, Wheel Of Time and RTCW.
