We expect you never to return.

I think we'll both be disappointed. 

so even with the "recommended" drivers 7.6 there are still hard crashes, i.e. on maps with corrupted brush entities, where the engine would normally just abort. Time for a nVidia I guess. 

Try the modified ATI/Nvidia drivers from http://www.ngohq.com

The lastest one is based on Catalyst 7.3. I'm positively suprised about the difference in performance: Before, I couldn't get Gothic3 and Stalker to run properly with my new card and all standard drivers I tested. They were unplayable - stuttering like hell, even on the lowest possible setting. With the NGO drivers, however, they run smoothly on max settings with no apparent problems so far. 

Thanks, I�ll give those drivers a go. 

Spd, voodoo, Zwiffle. Is it going to happen? Theme? 

I heard about the compo was that spd said vondur suggested a "pyramid/ziggurat" theme.

Don't think anything's set in stone atm. 

if you're curious where that 10 worst maps thread went, when i realized it wasn't posted by ijed, i killed it. It turns out ijed isn't a skinny art goth afterall. 

 

Metslime: ?

Scampie: Yeah, it was pretty bad. The maps it mentioned were ok. 

My histroy tells it was "planetjed". Fair enough. 

was a former quake 2 mapper and used to review for cranky steve's haunted whorehouse on somethingawful. at least i'm pretty sure it's the same one; the obnoxious tone in his writing style is pretty recognisable 

This one was female.

I remember Jed's Q2 map Light for the Awakening mod; that was a great ikbase map. 

I wouldnt really want to put this in one of the other threads, but why wont Darkplaces show my doors!!?!?! Most of them are 8 units thick. Works fine in FitzQuake. 

if we're still mulling this, might I suggest "combine two disparate texture sets," with the corollary that a map that's half id/ikbase be deemed a cop-out because otherwise that's what everyone will do. 

 

I think we had a speedmap session reminiscent of that theme, which I thought was a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind doing something like that hybrid-theme map. I also remember doing an egypt-tech map, half egypt and half base. That was fun too.

I would prefer Quoth 2 as a requirement, since it's so awesome and stuff. But Kellcros would have to weigh in on that I think. 

Is quite an interesting theme to work with, me and Tronyn touched the surface of this with TNJ but it can be taken much further I think, the IKbase lights go very well with the egypty style textures from the mission packs. 

It seems your skybox links are down. Specifically the Bloodline one. Any reason why? Just wondering, since I wanted to use that one for a qonquer map. 

There aren't any single skybox downloads any more, just a compilation pack downloaded from the main skybox page:

Yeah, I should get rid of those dead links :/ 

it's all about picking a ridiculous matchup of themes that doesn't really go together and trying really hard to make it work. What wouldn't work? Koohoo meets efdm12? IKBlue meets rubicon? Doom3 meets egypt? Actually Koohoo/efdm12 sounds pretty cool. 

I saw a license plate today that said PJW-A55 

General Abuse has been closed by a moderator. 

I wish I could say "Yeah, that's me." and I'm slightly sad that I can't.

Don't worry PJW, we all know you're an A55 anyway.
