Darsana ~ Standalone Medieval FPS (using Darkplaces Engine) 
Hello, I'm a coder who is creating a
standalone open ended multiplayer game. The game's name is Darsana and is set in a medieval fantasy world. I'm currently looking
for people who are willing to bring the game to life, and especially mappers (Quake1/Quake3 maps).

Currently the game for the most part is coded and includes such weapons as
daggers, clubs, broadswords, battleaxes, longbows, crossbows, fire, lightning, and leech staffs, mana and
health potions, explosive arrows, and a buckler. It is
using the Darkplaces engine and is using Quake3 maps
and models.

The current URL is:

For some of the latest work with player models and
game dev here are some shots:

Take care.

Non Paying - Mod Help 
Hey guys,

My mod for quake 1 is recruiting. Details can be found here - http://forums.gamedesign.net/viewtopic.php?p=216303#216303

very relaxed and fun.

this is non-paying, and will eventually be open asset library. 
Kedhrin: 
Some of that stuff looks pretty nice. Good luck finding some help. 
Colored Lighting Is Nicely Done There 
 
Kedhrin 
I don't know what you've done, but it looks very good compared to 90% of the graphics updates around there. :) It's somehow not too "clean".

Maybe some of the bumps are a bit extreme. (rivets, the "scales" blue metal floor.)

Although it's hard to say all this from a few darkish shots. 
 
good luck mate :) but i just now how to map and few...ehehe 
Texture Artists - Quake2 Retexture Effort 
Hi,

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a comprehensive Quake2 retexture effort. The project is based on the work of several defunct retexture efforts, plus a few hundred textures of my own.

What makes this project different:

I am a programmer. Thus, the project has the benefit of proper revision control (Subversion), project build files (GNU Make), and various shell scripts to aid with texture creation and organization (identifying duplicate textures, generating html tables of old vs new textures, etc.). I think a major limiting factor of prior retexture efforts is a lack of programming experience required to organize such a large collection of source files.

Lowest-common-denominator compatibility with available game engines. The textures are all scaled 1:1 with their original counterparts, and are all uncompressed RGBA Targa files. This means they require no special scaling tricks or image compression libraries. Virtually all modern Quake2 engines will be able to utilze these textures as drop-in replacements. They are already known to work with R1GL, AprQ2, and Quetoo.

These are not high-resolution textures, they are instead true-color replacements. Preserving texture image size with the original game textures makes texture creation considerably faster, while still yielding a worthwhile visual improvement over the palleted .wal format. You'll be able to produce textures rapidly. This is an opportunity to accomplish a great deal and provide the community with a comprehensive retexture pak.

Contributing artists will be fully credited for their work on the project homepage and in any accompanying documentation at release time. The project has not yet been announced to the public.

The project homepage can be found here:
http://jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/wiki/Retexture

I may be reached at jdolan at jdolan dot dyndns dot org, or in #quetoo on Freenode. Thanks! 
UD200 Mod 
I had some contacts with Shadowalker for some times, and he is looking for serious mappers in order to develop a pack for his mod. You will find specifications and precisions there:

http://uddev.quakedev.com/

You can email him at alex_shadowalker@yahoo.com if you are interested, and if you want to join his project based on UD200 mod.. 
Oh 
That LORDHAVOC STOLE MY CODE-whiner? 
 
"That LORDHAVOC STOLE MY CODE-whiner?" Ever heard of the term ethics. Guess not. You lack any moral center. haha
........................................................

You can do so much more than any other mod. I need to work with a mapper to work out what mappers will need before I make a offical release.

Uhm 
So, I thought some background info about xrucifix/Two Guys Software would be interesting.

As you can see at their website, xruuuu were the ones who compiled and sold the Quake-derivate standalone game Eternal War: Shadows of Light.
http://xrucifix.com/modules.php?name=Eternal_War

Eternal War ripped a lot of stuff from our fellow Quake hobby-developers and even commercial games. Eternal War was sold (for money that is).

Just for your information. 
Xruuuu = Xrucifix 
forgot to fix that. oops. 
According To Marketing Research 
The most profound letter in the alphabet that people tend to focus on and remember best is X. 
RE: Uhm 
The artwork, sounds, programming, etc. used in Eternal War: Shadows of Light were used with permission by authors before being placed in the game. 
RE: RE: Uhm 
Perhaps it was used with permission, but I know at least 1 person that didnt get credited nor paid for any of the work he did for Two Guys Software. 
RE: RE: Uhm 
If they didn't recieve any credit then they should contact me directly (mack@xrucifix.com) and I would be more than happy to work something out with them. 
Hahahaha 
Well that person is ME. And I have talked to you several times after this and I have yet to get at least SOME credit for all the work I did. And having my name in TINY TINY TINY letters in one of the 4-5(?) loading screens is not what I call proper credit. 
RE: Hahahaha 
We've already went through this several times as well. Your name is listed in the credits along with everyone elses all on the same page with the same font size and has the same exposure as everyone else. It's on page 3 of 3 in the demo and page 3 of 5 in the retail.

Here's a link to the image:
