Anything that's too long gets cut off, url or not. Suchasthisreallylongsentencewhichyouprobably wontbeabletoread,amIright?

Or I'm wrong. 

The URL would still get cut off, but at least it would turn into a proper link without the (. 

What would it take to interest any of you fellows to work on maps for Prydon Gate? You ought to know what it is, squeal if not. It does have a mapping guide, a list of official quest maps (or atleast areas) to make, or one could just make inofficial quests as seen by the ELF team, even though it'd be neat if the main game had some progress, not just the (awesome) "fan stuff" :) 

Good question. Unfortunately, everyone has their own priorities when deciding what game/mod to map for, but it's generally hard to get people to map for games/mods that they don't actually play (or even know about.)

So maybe just promoting the mod would help, since there is fairly little communication or advertisement across the different quake communities. I'm sure many people here haven't heard of it. In fact, I didn't know it was still in development after I once played it 3-4 years ago. 

... would help ! 

"Being in development" is far from what I'd call it. It's been kept alive by various people occasionally jumping out and screaming "why are there no prydon maps" and/or some models/sounds being made at random intervals, mostly by Chillo. There's a thread on I3D where Chillo is posting shots of (tons) of new models he's made for it. Frik did a lot of behind the scenes work a year ago (ish, my conception of time is not the best), but none of that has really been "put to use", as there are no maps.

The ever so beautiful homepage for prydon can be found here: http://www.inside3d.com/prydongate/

and the aforementioned thread with shots of Chillos models is here: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=643

The mod has pretty much always had a fanbase of some sort, sadly however consisting mostly of people complaining about the lack of maps, but never doing anything about it. If you manage to track down Frik on your irc channel of choice, or I3D pm, I'm sure you can also get access to the dev wiki, mapping guide and the greatly enhanced unreleased beta version (1.5 I think was the version). Happy breathin'! 

I tried it years ago and didn't like it. Now I thought it became better, tried again and didn't like it either. The controls are just too stupid, the mouse feels like I have to move it through mud (and does not listen to "sensitivity"). The inventory and other menu stuff, well, a mouse driven thing would be much much nicer (even if it used the same menu).
I hope 1.5 is much better. :> 

...is controlled by some other cvar, not sensitivity, and unfortunately I don't remember what that might be. 

If you're playing SP or you are the server in a multiplayer game, type "sv_maxspeed *" where * is a number higher than 320. The default is 320. If your mouse moves to fast, type a lower number.

I've been browsing the Prydon Gate site. 

I want such mod/game in industrial/steampunk/post-apocalypse 

Is there any chance of getting some Hexen II maps created. It's a great game - though it does have some wandering puzzles - and there's been a big effort at http://uhexen2.sf.net (mostly Linux but also Win32) recently to kill the final bugs.

Though i know it's tacky - would a $$ prize/competition make any waves.

I love this game. 

I personally MIGHT give it a shot IF all the nasty bugs were rooted out AND there was an upgraded engine that I could run it on - for example like FitzQuake. However, I personally think the game was a huge disappointment, and quit playing before I finished it, and so I'm not completely interested in mapping for Hexen 2.

Also, don't offer a Hexen 2 mapping competition (especially for $$), I don't think anyone would join it since there's close to 0% interest in Hexen 2 specifically. 

In H.o.T. the bugs are all gone. The main Dev has gone to riduculous lengths to kill anything that moved. including the little gamecode hiccups that occasionally pop up.

As far as upgraded engine goes - for large maps etc, I dunno about this one.

Main features are:
GL anti-aliasing, multi-textures, gl_constretch and glows, Fullscreen intermission/help-menus, vid mode switching and native AMD64 support (not trivial).

Mouse wheels are now supported (and weapon switching is nicely handled - before the stupid thing would switch to weapons with zero manna) which makes the challenging AI's more beatable. 

Oh yeah, we also have a nice 1st person camera... and Hexenworld isn't broken anymore. One of my few coding contributions was finding a illegal
nested C loop in the HW code which caused the game to segfault regularly with lightning weapons. 

Actually I'm already working on a HexenII map

Nice big open maps from the look ;>
Should probably link to this site:
http://ravenhurst.raven-games.com/Main.shtml
Travis has told me in the past the project isn't dead... but the website is pretty quiet. 

I'm looking for a third beta tester for my latest project. Trinca and JohnXmas are already involved. Is there anybody interested ? The first who will send an email will win ;)

Hello there.

Just thought I might post about a new custom map duel tournament that is entering the second season in 1-2 weeks, and if you're interested in having _your_ map played there, newly created or not, go to #kenya on Quakenet and say hello + URL to the map. The tournament will play out 10 maps during a 10 week time, one map every week, so you'll get your map played out by 10-20 players (usual signup rate) VS each other which makes for alot of matches. They will comment the map afterwards on our site: http://www.firstinsys.se/swing/kenya/

I'm also looking for 2on2-maps and trying to find ProdigyXL for some fixups with genocide.bsp (which could work for 2on2): The jumppads needs less messyness (look at q3dm6qw for perfect jumppads) and there needs to be a teleporter or some other way up to quad.

Thanks!

Hey guys... I'm in need of a starting map for MVDSV qw server but I don't have any idea. I think it should be small and not really playable but beautiful and maybe give access via teleport to single or multiplayer maps for example but maybe you have ideas?

Oh, I'll have a definitive logo soon to be incorporated in that too :D 

deurk at quakeonline dot net :P 

is the shit. Guys, you'd be famous with this! 

i start a dm map this holidays ;)
