Keyboard Support Whining ... 
Why can't I type numbers in FTE? This is rendering the console useless. I can only type 6 on numpad, and 2 on mainpad, lol. It's a variant of that problem in every Quake engine. The only ones I've tried that have decent support for keyboard layouts are Darkplaces and Quakespasm. Switching layouts in windows to bypass the issue doesn't work either. It's 2013, why don't all engines support multiple keyboard layouts by now?

@Spirit 
I agree with your observation about QuakeOne.com (and the Facebook ones), the user base got waterdown to change the makeup from Quake enthusiasts (people familiar with Quake, like it and play it) to largely Quake casuals (people who look at screenshots, know what a Shambler is).

This is just a demographic observation. 
Spirit, Negke, Onetruepurple And ... 
Anyone else who coops. Are you using fte or ZQuake or are you using Quakespasm?

1. Is there anyone who somewhat regularly LAN coops with a FitzQuake derivative?

2. To anyone cooping big maps ... like with fte and protocol 666 or if using DarkPlaces ... how is coop over the internet with these huge maps? Is it smooth or does the entity count have an impact? 
 
sometimes we used zqds, sometimes quakespasm. some day I need to investigate my aversion to FTEQW, for some reason I never consider it "quake", even less so than dp. It's a shame and probably not justified. 
Not Much Info Yet 
But I like the aesthetic of this game -

It's by the same people who did dustforce, which is a really neat looking game where you can walljump and stuff

I never play on LAN. Last coop was with Quakespasm which worked suitably well. However, the server didn't seem to use the new protocol, so we had disappearing entities in Masque. Could be Spirit configured it wrong, or something else. Performance-wise it seemed fine. 
Holy Shit 
I think I found the 1997 negke: http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/seraphim.html
Everyone (Shambler) go play this! 
Problem With 'Quake' Facebook Page 
there's an admin who thinks it's his personal place to advertise his youtube channel and is kind of a dick

No 
this is serious. something is wrong on the internet. 
@negke 
I have a plan to deal with "too many monsters disappear in coop" like Masque of the Red Death.

Will test this tomorrow morning in some live coop action.

(Involves using "antiwallhack" for enhanced thinning out of entities sent from server to client. I think too many entities is the cause of this, if I recall not only are monsters disappearing but you will get no sound either as sounds are cut-off first).

Actually, if Mark V is the listen server, just type in "sv_cullentities 2" in console and anti-wallhack will thin out all entities with a strict visibility test.

Which is what I'm going to see if helps in a "all benefits, no drawbacks" way. (anti-wallhack is a bit a CPU intensive -- so while I know this should make monsters not disappear, I'm not sure if it might not have a framerate side effect on such a high entity count ... ) 
Thanks, I'm Paying Attention With My One Good Eye... 
PM and I only come to life occasionally, we are editing zombies sometimes able to whip another chunk of flesh at the larger project, but then going back to dormant mode. Peering up from my Vault of Zin, I would definitely want to address this since I plan on having full coop support for the eventual final DRAKE. Indeed, one of the few excuses I can imagine people having for replaying my reconfigured maps with some new ones as a "replacement Quake" is coop with PM's more challenging skill levels.

Just emailed a vicar to see if they would marry my fiance and I.....

Is that totally inappropriate? 
 
didn't know you swung that way ricky. 
Hmmmm 
Results regarding coop and Masque of Red Death with sv_cullentities 2 = it runs a tad slow and large entities like door tend to get culled when they shouldn't (disappearing doors).

Part #2 can easily be fixed. Not sure how to fix the "runs a bit slow" part. 
@Tronyn 
I know you like corpses and heads everywhere, but I'm thinking the only reasonable fix is adding corpse removal to your progs.

Although with Masque of the Red Death, someone could just use a corpse removal progs (wasn't the reason that -hipnotic was recommended for that map due to this? Although I see no evidence of that working, if so ...) 
Add: 
At least if the coop cvar is 1. Single player isn't impacted, just clients connected to player that is running as the server. 
Client Comments 
How Often 
do you check what you've made in the editor in the actual game?

I find myself doing a fast compile every 5-15 minutes... sometimes even after changing just a single thing! 
I Used To Do That 
now I have large, large scraps that have never even been compiled. 
@Spiney 
numpad should be fixed now. 
@Spike 
Thanks! I'll check it out :)

Me too doing this after adding one single brush, or even a light source.
Just for the look at it, strange..
