still trying...

Afaik that's standard netquake engines being annoying. They require a randomly chosen port to be open or something. Baker put a lot of work into making it easier so proquake or mark v might still work. 

When necros was trying to connect my whole
Internet connection was down.

Also, the server is running ManQuake, which is a slightly modified version of ProQuake that Slot Zero created (he made RuneQuake). A bigger tweak is that it uses a defined range of ports for clients, so you don't need 1000's of port open. 

If I had an 80 lb scrotum I'd be upset at everything like bler is too. 

nice website!

btw, 'stygian' sounds really awesome. I wonder if there would be enough interest on func to start a "board & tabletop games" thread.

Agree that modern games can feel under-polished/refined, and it's hard to get reliable reviews on how good the gameplay is.
I like deckbuilding games, have you played Ascension? 

Am I the only one who sees a blank page where ijed's website is supposed to be? On both Firefox 41 and Opera 32. 

same for me, thought that was the joke? 

 

Thanks Eric, just working on closing the last two Items, which is proving tricky. Once I've got it together I can send you a cold test version if you want - it'd be interesting to see if it's playable without me there to explain it. But it'd be a lot of work to print so maybe better to wait for the first prototype :)

I'll have a look at Ascension.

As to Wix not working for everyone - I got distracted writing stuff and forgot to do proper cross country testing.

Where is everyone? 

The video from where 2 Girls 1 Cup originated was produced by "MFX Media" 

Could totally start a boardgame thread. For 4-6 years I was heavily into them. Still am although time to play has been a challenge lately. I did a game published though, which is sweet.

BTW, my blog at www.big-game-theory.com is mostly about Boardgames still. 

Find it very fun. 

:) 

Interesting stuff!

No doubt I'll be mining it for ideas for quite some time :)

I used to play a lot of tabletop games - Games Workshop stuff mostly, but stopped when I realised video games were cheaper and more flexible to create.

I had a pretty big collection of most of the game lines, all with customised miniatures but none of them painted. Sold the lot for a few quid, back before GW got greedy.

Favourites were Space Hulk, Epic and Necromunda. Space Hulk was great because it harked back to the days of Space Crusade and Hero Quest, which were both surprisingly deep 'kids' games. 

My ping (from the SF bay area) is 100-ish. Fine for messing about! 

I've also been doing some writing for the growing website explorminate.net - which covers lots of strategy game stuff.

Regading my server. It would be fun to maybe plan a night of death matching on a few custom maps if enough people can get a decent ping. Any takers? 

... but "night" where you are may be day (working hours) here.

Watch it. 

Really trying to find a reason to justify buying Cthulhu Wars right now. -_- sooo expensive =/ 

So I updated the prominence DM map database more:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Py55XH3PZBRCf9kj0yh6ozQsgV7PV0he2PO4GBbssts/edit?usp=sharing

Basically, I added a few more maps I had floating around, including some older ones from primordial ooze days of Quake mapping (1996 + 1997). This stuff was added mostly for history sake.

All maps now have images, the basic info (map name, author, date), and I did a huge visual sorting of the texture set and/or themes, so all maps should have that assigned now! Yeah!

If you follow the link, you should be able to go to DATA >>> Filter Views and resort the list by author, by texture set, by release date, etc. Sorting it by release date is pretty cool, you can see right in the images the evolution of the quake mapping scene. Q2 comes out and BAM - you get Q2 textured maps, then Unreal/Kingpin, then Q3, etc. Pretty interesting.

If you want to cycle through all the images, you can follow the link under "IMAGE" in header row to see the full drop-box photo album. All images are HD size.

Enjoy! 

Mmmm map porn. Even without trimp it's pretty neat! :-) I'm tempted to start trying them in chronological order...

Does anyone have a good idea of how many Quake DM maps are actually out there? 400 sounds like a lot but I wonder if that is just a drop in the bucket.

(...wow looks like Quaddicted has over 3000) 

Did you manually take all those screenshots or did you do something like automating shots from intermission points (or other entity)? 

does this also have DM maps from any speedmap packs? 

First a question - what's the deal with trimp? Is it some secret map only the cool kids know about? I played it and it doesn't seem particularly particular?

As for the screenshots, those are all manual :O. Took a while :)

If someone wants to point me towards speed map packs I can a look at them. No promises though.
