Tree leaves are too saturated.. looks nice though. 

After playing through DM-1on1-Rivalry some more, I must say the gameplay, isn't all that hot. 

Freeware program to convert .avi files to .mpeg or .mov files, please. Suitable for idiots preferably =).

smab, ever heard about google? 

My mp3s are getting messed up!
Really annoying, could be a virus i guess.... tracks get their 'artist' tag changed to something else in the library....

This means over time, more and more songs are listed under the wrong artist, sweet!

Has anyone had this problem or know what to do about it? ta 

Re: google.. sometimes people do search there, but can't find something specific enough because the internet is vast, and they ask people :P 

I just wanted to prick shambler a bit ;) 

Hey,

I made a couple posts at Musashi's and Gamedesign.net (the only two places I know of where Q2 mappers still reside) about running a Q2 Speedmapping session. Anywya, I thought I'd post here just in case there was anyone left on this board that still mapped for Q2. If you're interested in doing a Q2 Speedmapping session, let me know. IF there is sufficient interest I'm going to go about organizing a time and stuff. It could be fun. No really. Q2 aint that bad. No it's not. Aww c'mon.

Anyone interested? 

Doubt you'll find many interested mappers, but consider yourself to have the blessings and hopes and dreams of the Q1 Speedmappers to do the event. 

I know of 5 interested parties including myself... 

I have the Gen stuff uploaded, I don't seem to have your email addy... ??? 

Interesting to see all these names I don't know. :)

University/real-world stuff/lure of high poly 3d modelling has kept me away from here for a fair while, I really should get back into this. (and probably release trondm3) 

Last time I talked to you, you said it would be out in two weeks. And that was more than two weeks ago.

Don't make me start a Release TronDM3 Petition. 

I'd give the q2 thing a shot at the very least 

Will check them out. And yes I've heard of Google but I was after personal advice to avoid suckage :P. 

avoiding suckage, asking at func... Yeeeeah.

snorting in a condescending fashion, waving a lacy hankie in front of powdered face. 

I've been using www.jhepple.com/AVI2MPEG.htm
like Von suggested, and like all the other converters I've tried, it manages to chance a 1.3 meg avi (compressed with Divx codec) into a 3.5 meg mpeg. Which is ridiculous. What is going on?? 

it's netgames@netdp.com, and thanks a lot ;) 

You sure you boys don' want no flapjacks? They's nice and hot! 

our next speedmapping session will take place soon

The time
8pm GMT on Saturday, 18th October
that corresponds to 9pm UK time, or 4pm EST
This earlier time seems good so we'll go with it for now

The place
on IRC, in #speedq1 on gamesnet.net

The plan
Make a map in 100 minutes or less.
No theme! Make whatever the hell you want.

If you can't make the session, make a map before and email it to me at starbuck@planetquake.com 

I demand MSN support for speedmapping!

Mainly because I can't actually get on IRC from uni :(

I presume you saw that bit where he said you could mail it in. 

Yeah, but it should be done at the time (really) 

Just completed it, its short but a fucking cool game, much better than the 1st one imo, and the havok physics make for some awesome cinematic gun battles. Go buy it now punks! 

I don't care when you make your speedmap, Grindspire, nor does Starbuck. We annouce it a bit early for this reason. Hanging out on the irc channel is just an extra layer of fun for the pack.


While on the subject, next week we'll be doing horror as the theme, like I've said before. But I mentioned to Starbuck that for Nov. we should do 4 weeks of 'classic' themes. What this means is first week we'll do Base as the theme. Then Mediviel. Then Goth/Zombie/Evil. and finally Elder world. Basically do all the standard themes from Quake's episodes in order (custom textures that fit themes would still be ok). Starbuck seemed all for the idea, can I get a yay/nay from the peanut gallery?
