Maybe you mostly know about this but here is a mod for Doom 2, which is meant to be a Quake 2 TC, but has some textures from Quake 1, some enemies from Quake 1 and has a cool midi-Metallica soundtrack.

Kindof awesome :) 

I know we all have tons of texture sets to use, but has anyone wanted to make a texture set? Would anyone be interested in a texture set collab, maybe aiming at something like 20 additional textures to either give a theme a little more support or to start a new theme? There's always room for more texture amirite? 

Kinda awesome??

Kinda pile of fucking SAC. 

I made a lot of extra Rubicon textures for a chainmap Lardarse and me were working on. I can upload the wad, and others can make more?

I remember trying to make one in 1998 and failing horribly, even by DARK FOREST standards. If you want random ideas though, an expanded "Black Cathedral" set would be sweet. 

help me with css/html:

http://www.quaddicted.com/temp/frontpage.html and http://www.quaddicted.com/temp/frontpagestyle.css

I use a horizontal navigation with ul/li. this is enclosed in a div. that div has a background-color defined (blue in this example). why isn't the whole area of the ul/li colored red now?

If someone has suggestions for a good color scheme I'd love to hear it. Must be dark background for Quake's screenshots and fit the pink logo (but not amplify the gayness...). 

are you changing the colour scheme spirit?

also, tronyn, what is black cathedral? like, just dark coloured bricks and such? 

Black Cathedral is hip2m2.bsp and its huge white bricks.

Personally I always found it quite a bit too sterile and bright for Quake :S 

that's a stupid name for it since they are white bricks. black cathedral makes me think of a cathedral made out of the dark rtgnosis blocks and bricks textures. 

i think they mean "black" in the "evil, satanic" sense, like Black Sabbath. 

yeah, i guess. ^_^; 

floats don't extend their parent container. 

So...

This California game law thing?

Is that just age restrictions/ratings on games or is there something I'm missing? 

My understanding of the game law says that it's illegal to sell violent games (MA+ in the states) to children/teens under 18. Like restricting young people from watching very violent movies, or porn. Perhaps I'm missing something too. 

sounds like a cool theme. It makes me think of black bricks too, maybe with lots of lava or blood pools for contrast.

Are there any texture sets like this? I seem to remember playing a speedmap a few years ago with a similar black brick / lava theme, but I can't remember what it was. 

that magic card one is some exceptional badassery 

I liked the unusual look / colour scheme of this map (white/blue/gold/red), and I thought that the theme had lots of room for expansion (with trim/bricks/metal/wood recombined in new ways, like in the supplementary idbase or metal textures that maps like biff's q1sps use), plus all kinds of symbols/gargoyles/designs/shapes could be added. On the other hand, maybe a darker, dirtier look would fit Quake better. Or some combination of the two - a bright, clean facade, but crubmling, dirty, almost kingpin-like decay and corruption beneath that (especially in secret passageways and chambers) - kind of like the institution of the church itself actually (anyone see Dawkins brief anti-pope speech?). 

personally. 

There is a Q3 (or at least Quake Live) map called Black Cathedral that looks amazing.

looks pretty cool from the video 

Yeah, that one. It is gorgeous. Looks like a Painkiller map. 

Ow. My speakers.


There's a new tourney map in QL too with a similar style (I don't think that's it, altho I'll admit I have only seem it with flat colour textures ;) 

looks way off but otherwise does look cool.
