and this one too: http://www.shacknews.com/article/68945/carmack-id-considering-quake-reboot

(regardless of whether or not the same info is also in the other games thread :) )

Summary contained in the url. Amazing news, no?

Out of curiosity, anyone know if there are any/many people from the Quake 1 community working at id now? 

Srsly? Why the fuck would anyone code like that? Three spaces instead of tabs? Left brace on the line after the statement and indented with three spaces? Just wtf.

The above refers to lack of useful coding style that was used in the hipnotic qc src. 

yes, that's insanely annoying.

i think it's more that they coded that in some IDE that just does formatting in a strange way, and then exported everything to text files. 

I think I'm just going to finish copying everything, then use a program like indent to reformat everything so it is consistent with the One True Brace Style. 

Scratch?

I know that's a stupid question.

id1 though has enough building blocks. Recreating hipnotic features shouldn't take too long.

What are you putting zx;lolhujbm,

daughter mashing keyboard.

What are you putting together? 

Is that a response to my previous minirant? Because i don't get it. 

But reading it myself now I'm not sure what I meant.

...

I'm deleting more posts than I post now.

Blame alcohol. 

So there's this thing called swype on new smart phones, I'm trying it out.not sure if I like it or not.this doesn't feel much faster than typing. Not being able to use two hands for typing is really annoying. 

swiftkey seems a bit better 

hey hey hey 

What are you supposed to do in r2m5 after you activate the giant lightning thing? I've hot all the buttons I can find and I've killed 83/84 monsters. 

I can even see the level exit behind a bookcase! :( 

R1m5, from dissolution of eternity 

I played that a couple of weeks ago but I honestly can't remember. Don't even recall how the map looks. Just noclip before frustration prevails. 

Noclip seems to be broken in qbism, even with sv_cheats on I can't noclip, getting an error about sv_cheats needing to be on. :p 

sv_cheats 1
quicksave
quickload
noclip 

Been so lazy to install it and chequed , but I don't see the problem.
