Blender also has a lot of bizarre interface design choices that are just really alien to learn. Having to drag open menu bars for example. 

Until my new news thread gets through moderation:

New Tronyn review: http://www.quaddicted.com/tronyn-reviews/10_000_feet_below_by_fern

And I uploaded a lot of Quake 1/2/3 fan-art to http://www.quaddicted.com/quake/fan-art/

Also a quick overview on current engine development and random engines you might not know about: http://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=97

And a crude plain page for lighting parameters/options: http://www.quaddicted.com/tools/lighting_options 

Series of good stuff. 

Since Spirit made a thread for Quaddicted news, maybe worth me making one for my site as well? Could use it to throw up a monthly update with review links, including stuff that isn't Quake related. 

I want to ask a favour ...

ModDb are running their 'Mod of the Year' competition and I want to get my Quake MOD through to the top 100 and I need your help.

Please take some time to go over to the 'In the Shadows' mod page - http://www.moddb.com/mods/its and vote! sign up, tell your friends and lets get a Quake MOD into the top 100!

PS. I plan to release a beta of my MOD this weekend, so you all can have some fun sneaking around the quake universe or if you like go on a bloody rampage! 

I look forward to the beta 

Send me a 200x150 image and I will put that on the Quaddicted homepage.

It just let me vote, so I guess unregistered people can vote.

Thanks, Spirit. 

Done! Also spammed to Reddit and Fecebook. 

 

You got my vote. There's some really sweet stuff in there. :) 

Are you sure unregistered votes count? I logged in to vote just to be on the safe side. 

they block some dynamic ips (from AOL, oh these ignorant US Americans...) so it seems to be based on cookie & ip. you should be able to vote fine since they did not seem to realise Germany has dynamic ips too (how evil of us!).

don't try to scam/cheat it. 

Can't wait to grab this mod 

Looks very cool. 

Wow lots of votes!, but I suspect it will not be enough. The site is heavily dominated by all things HL and MP clones. Voting ends on Sunday, so time will tell. Fingers crossed :) 

your publicity campaign is working; some of the LDs at my office were talking about it yesterday. 

is advertising the way to go for something that's actually good? 

hi i wil try to give a update in the map supply
i never made a map but i wil try to make one.
i can use some help so if u think we can do some email me raefamiga@hotmail.com
i hope i have all the files i need for this project.
greets raefamiga 

is an anagram of "Am I a fag? Er..." 

@metlslime, cool I hope they voted! :P
@megaman, well I just wanted to see if I could get a quake MOD into the top 100, the moddb site is usually dominated with other engines and I wanted to draw some attention to quake stuff. There is some amazing maps/mods made and they get very little attention outside of the quake communities, which is a great shame. 

Long time ago I started a project to find all secrets in quake levels. I decided to use deathmatch mode since there are more shortcuts available. The first project started with Jonathan "the|navigator" Lenhardt as a coop project but eventually I re-did all levels with Aleksander "sidd" Osipov. The resulted project can be downloaded from here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/projects/hobby/thos.dz
Sorry for .dz format, folks.

Later I wanted to do it again but in different way. I started the project with Tom "sshplur" Nguyen to speedrun through all levels with set stats from previous ones. Tom said it will never be released because he wants to optimize everything. Well, I guess he has quit quake by now so there is no point to let this fun project to be forgotten. Some demos don't fit as demorelise has not been used on them. So here it comes: http://nahkahiir.thps3.net/quake/thos2.dz

That's all of secrets today. Enjoy. 

Oh Nice to see a fresh bunch of speedrunning demos! What a treat. There were some tricks and routes in there that had me smiling.

Seems like e3m1 was made by Arturo (who also was present in my own blue hell done quick lite)?

Thanks for releasing this and not letting the demos be forgotten. Why not also post this in the SDA forum? 

Hehe not so fresh anymore as these demos are quite old already. Yes, e3m1 was run by Arturo.

I am visiting Rutger in Netherlands and in couple of last days we have recorded 10 demos. Update coming probably next week.
