That's really weird. scar3crow ran into a similar issue. I'll have to take a look but I am not sure how. Maybe webserver logs will be able to tell me something. I definitely need to make the rating work without Javascript too. 

Chrome 4.0, JS enabled 

Ooh, stupid stupid bug. Should be fixed. Thanks!

Good thing I added at least some meaningful error messages... 

in case you're curious, here's the original map that Eagle was based on:

http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/LegendOfZelda-FirstQuest-Level-1%28Eagle%29.png

You can see i did a pretty literal translation, the floor plans are identical, and the monsters are replaced 1-for-1 with quake monsters (bats become scrags, gels become spawn, skeletons become knights, etc.) Key placement is identical, and the other special items are replaced with quake weapons, but the placement is the same. The secret spots where you can bomb a hole in the wall are recreated (rockets or quad shotgun required to break them), the fact that if you attack the friendly guy his torches will retaliate is recreated, about the only thing i didn't recreate is the statues -- at the time neither me nor my level editor (qED) were up to the task of creating nice looking statues out of brushes. 

so some people were asking what happened to Kinn?

And I thought - what happened to Tyrann? What happened to his 99% done base map?

What happened to Than? What happened to his 90% done knave map?

I feel like Than will eventually gravitate back and finish his up... but does anyone know what's happened to Tyrann?

Any other mappers I'm missing?

I think CZG is slowly working on something... 

What happened to Biff and MYRMIDON? 

didn't Myrmidion transmogrify into Fort Ratsack?

or was that a totally different thing?

But yeah - where is he? 

... they found other prioritie in life but Quake mapping. Real life eat them for sure. 

As always... and they are doing the correct action!

Life is to short to waste in a editor... I map few because I don�t waste a single minute of my life at home with mapping I rather waste it with my family.

But I respect who does everyone should do what they want with there life�s, I personally when I�m at home I prefer to do other things...

And after some comments on tchak I also lost some interest in mapping, so in these days I map less and less everyday, people don�t give a shit anyways so fuck it... If I ever finish anything else I will release then in here... someday far :) but I didn�t quit.

Also I still love to play Quake, and I will still playing for a long time I think. 

Wow. That's a lot of baggage to unload without provocation. Are you sure you're happy, man? :) 

Willem not my intension to provoke anyone is just my way of seeing things...

Yes I�m happy :) but in my age I�ve so to many things to do that isn�t enough time to mapping out of office just that...

At least at work lunch gives me sometimes 30 minutes or 60 to make something... 

@Spirit, I tried gmsp3 and did not like it. Visually it looks nice but I thought the gameplay was not much fun.

@Trinca, it sounds like you are mapping for other peoples approval and that will always end in you being disappointed. There will always be people who don't like your work and often be quiet vocal about it. If you release something for peer approval you have to accept all feedback regardless if you agree with it or not. 

I use to Sock, not anymore now just for fun... but made me stop for 8 month :| 

And after some comments on tchak I also lost some interest in mapping

i went to check the thread to see what you meant, but am quite confused. almost every review seems to lavish it with praise. what was it in particular?

i haven't played the map actually, will check it out. hard to keep track of all the latest releases without a central review site anymore like UWF's site (or going back a bit further, TSQLR). i know all of them end up on quaddicted somehow but it just isn't the same... 

I guess it didn't get enough praise ;) 

chif chif was evil Spirit that I love so much and I still do :(

these evil Germans :/ 

that reminds me I still have to sent him a bottle of wine... him and Vondur :| fuck I must go to the mail to find out the cost!!! 

importing the old comments I noticed a problem: How do you properly treat linebreaks for comments and such? I stored with as I got them without realising that they would not be shown by the browser. Should I change them to \r\n before storing? Or should I render them when outputting (how can I detect them in PHP)? 

when i leave a comment or rate a map, is it supposed to bring me to a debug page that just says 'comment added'? is that because it's still in testing? 

That is there because I do not really know how to nicely return to the previous site. 

haha ok, i'll just open up pages in a new tab so i don't loose where i am. ;) 

Has some new-ish Quake stuff on his site (if you are interested):

http://planetromero.com/ 

their news page seems to have gone silent... seems like they used to update at least once every week or two. 

nakaaaaairrrr is busy with school the others no idear...

But i miss a tournement :| 

hardly any demos getting made :/

not much energy in the community lately, it's kinda sad
