What's a good place to download all the classic quake 1 custom maps these days? I'm thinking of headshot, ztn, gandhi, danimal and the other guys.

cheers 

try Quadaddicted.com 

quaddicted.com he means

He's obviously looking for DM maps. 

Thx! 

Did anyone finish a start map over the weekend? 

... no. 

start map = boring, nothing to kill no fun... next theme please 

There are lots of LDs who like visuals and only do the monsters because they have to. Just FYI. :) 

...and only got one room :-( 

enough time in a speedmap session and the good ones could be used to introduce new maps by other people.

Maybe those should team up with guys that find visuals too much work to really be able to do it properly. Like me.

It would probably require working from low detail gameplay testing layouts like in that other thread, though.

Nowadays those are called "environment artists" :) 

Haha, true enough. I do a lot of both so I forget that some guys are exclusively one or the other these days. 

Go map! 

not the proper theme for mapping... maby later on

Not bad, but the controls feel a bit loose.

Try this:

very cool game. Too bad the full game is $15... seems a little pricey based on the apparent size of it (8 levels, 2 of which were in the demo and fairly short.) 

Regarding wireless internet connections.

My phone exchange finally got upgraded last week so I got a new package deal that includes the new speed I can get, it also includes a free wireless router.

Now, I know next to nothing about wireless connections, but the most pressing worry I have is that I have no idea how far the signal will travel.

You see, the router will be connected to the phone line on the bottom floor of the house, but my pc is on the 3rd floor and I really, really don't want to move it. Any ideas here?

The 2nd thing is that I need to buy myself a wireless card for my pc, and I have no idea what make and model is good. I've heard horror stories about bad wireless cards dropping the connection all the time, and I really want to avoid that =)

Someone said this might be worth picking up http://www.ebuyer.com/product/50127/show_product_overview

I don't want anything fancy, but I want a stable connection above all else :)
