Func's colors at least vaguely hint at Quake, whereas Qboard looks more like Deus Ex. Go figure.

Kinda frozen and not a tactics game though. 
I'm Sure I've Asked This Before 
but is there some setting i dont have right in q3? Textures in certain maps appear to be splotchy, like pjw3dm5 and unitooldm6 (a cel shaded map). It's where there's shadows cast from the lightmaps I think. 
Map Tracker! 
great idea, eh Metl ;) 
Er 
Wasn't there a mod by Harbinger of Fish that had an isometric view and lots of RTS elements?

i like the cut of your gib, good sire.

i guess this new thing would improve the sort of lighting you can do in outdoor areas? 
Odd 
I was thinking about the phrase "I like the cut of your gib" over and over today for some reason. Couldn't get it out of my head. I became obsessed with it. Now I guess I know why.

Nice. 
Wow those Qboard pages bring back memories. Forgotten about so many of those guys, like seth and c0ld. Miss 'em, and of course Headshot and Mr. Clean and the rest. Good times =D

Greatly.

My plan was to combine it with custom-painted light-projection images for pretty much every room, like I did in Strombine.

If you knock me up a neat outdoor area I'll light it, howsat? 
Hmm 
Maps I Made doesn't work :( 
Nntt 
Also;

1) lawl. Zan.

2) The no words design thread is surprisingly precient 
Hmm 
Dagnammit. I can't read input box titles.

Sorry for the triple post :( 
Ok 
Now post that in the mapping help thread with a description and maybe a screenshot and somebody will probably help you fix it.

Or smoke some chronic, maybe watch tv for a while.

Awesome

I would say that's an offer I can't refuse :) I'll definately have something ready at some point for my D3 "Tharsis" project - can't give an ETA right now though :{

quick! quickly! 
Fucking Computers 
computer are shit.

My computer overheated (by the looks of things) the other day and now some important element (either the cpu or gpu) seems to be completely fucked. Actually, I've no idea what really happened, but the damn thing has always run ridiculously hot and it's currently the middle of a hot summer in Japan so I'm assuming it overheated. Basically I was just browsing the web and suddenly the screen went corrupt so I turned it off and left it. The next day I tried to use it and it made some normal sounding noises but it never seemed to start up. The hdd light was flashing and the fans were on, but the monitor never displayed an image.

It's a 3 year old dell xps2 with a pentium-m 2ghz and nvidia gf6800 go ultra. Still a reasonable machine that I could use for what I need if it hadn't just bust. SO glad I didn't burn money on the 3 year extended warranty, as it would have just expired :)

Anyway, if anyone knows what the problem might be or has had any previous experience with this kind of crap, please help. I haven't yet tried calling dell customer service because it's expensive and I can't use skype anymore. Pretty sure there is no email helpline, but I'll have a look. 
Than 
I've had the same problem with my Dell on and off for almost a year now. I would get decent performance for a few weeks and then I out of nowhere the screen would start blinking, and then it would either freeze up or give a Blue Screen of Death warning (Paged in unpaged area, IRQ conflict with video driver). However, I have good reason to believe the problem has been solved. I cashed in a favor my bro owed me, and got him to work on it.

He found the power supply box to be barely adequate for the requirements of the machine. A small slip in its performance would be enough to effect the stability of the machine.

He replaced the box; unfortunately, Dells boxes are slightly non standard. There is no slot in the outer plate for the (0 -) button that is standard with boxes that come off the shelf. So it's necessary to keep the machine open, with the power supply outside of it.

Last winter I had to give up on my Radeon AGP 9700 because the computer simply would not run with it installed, but now I have reinstalled
it with no performance problems, testing it with Far Cry, Fear, Doom III and Quake IV.

Before the power supply replacement, I used an old Geforce 4 MX PCI card and I didn't even dare to run Quake III with it because of the certitude it would cause a lock up.

I hope the problem you are having is as simple a fix as this. I chased down a number of possibilities, but the instable power supply was causing false flags to be spat out.

GPU => Power Supply => Motherboard => CPU.

In that particular order, are the most likely causes of your problem. These days, you have to try really really hard to actually fry a CPU before it manages to autoshutdown. 
Headthump 
bolt cutters would fix that right up! 
Yeah With Jago 
I had a similar situation and managed to work out it was the GPU.

If you have onboard video, try disabling video card and see if the MB video loads up? 
Than, On A Sidenote 
"a 3 year old dell xps2 with a pentium-m 2ghz and nvidia gf6800"

Instead of troubleshooting (unless you are lucky and get the problem nailed down fast), I would just go and buy a new PC. 600 euros will easily get you a PC twice as fast as your current one (assuming you hand-pick components instead of buying outrageously overpriced brand PCs).
