I'm custom derping it live in about an hour from now over on my twitch -- http://www.twitch.tv/tddaz

If you want to see a grown man fail, you know what to do. 

 

welcome back! 

 

And thank you Sleepy.

Now, people post about maps n shizzle, yo. 

I'm really glad that the site is back up. This is one of the few places left for nostalgic old bastards like myself :)

Hi again 

That downtime scared the shit out of me. This is the only forum I visit! 

The database is backed up every night. Even if the server goes down, the forum will come back. 

Wow, func is back! :) 

I'm glad for its comeback. I was missing it a lot. You don't know how much you like something till you loose it. So much that i fell for that little joke Negke pulled on Quaddicted. 

That Negke! He had me goin for a minute too, then I saw the other thread and realized he was more than likely just busting my chops heh. 

Thanks sleep! 

Have you discovered who/why was DDOSing your sites? 

Cheers Sleep. 

Maybe it was the handbags and shoes spammer. 

I hate them... /foams at mouth

At least Func is back! 

Cheers Sleepy! 

on this TB video. I think he has a point when it comes to modern games, but I have noticed a trend in a lot of mods over the years that try to emulate the changes to the FPS games that have occurred.

I recently happened upon TrenchBroom by accident on YouTube. Then I spent an entire afternoon's worth of free time having a ton of fun with it.

I'm getting into this hardcore I think. What are the current/best sites to share/find maps and guides/tips? I see that quaketastic is in flux, and the qaddicted forums don't seem very active.

I've also caught wind that there are/were speedmapping jams. Those still going on here/elsewhere?

Just stumbled into this and feel like I've discovered a new hobby, so trying to get up to speed. 

Look in the "Links" section above for most of what you are looking for. Also comb through forum topics like Mapping Help and Quake Documentation project for more information on the internal workings of the Quake engine from a mapping perspective. It's a bit more complicated than just slinging around brushes.

Have fun. 

Hi there! You've caught us at a bit of a quiet time, this forum's moved servers after a brief spell of downtime, and I think our usual crowd is still rebuilding itself. This is probably the main forum for people who focus on mapping for Quake. If you've got any questions, post them in the Mapping Help thread and I'm sure someone will help you out.

The speedmapping thread is at

Currently anyone who's enthusiastic enough can just organise a new pack and give people a deadline, have a read and you'll see how that goes. It's not quite like the days where everyone would try and make maps simultaneously, but we all had more free time back in those days... 

We're all here. The forum was down for a while so everyone is probably busy mapping and haven't checked back yet.
