Are there any mods or ports for Quake that add nice blood/weapon damage decals to surfaces? I know that decals weren't originally in Doom, but bullet damage and blood make the visual aftermath of a fight a lot more satisying, and I often miss that in Quake. I'm pretty sure Darkplaces has this, but I'm looking for something closer to Quake's original look.

is for a small group running in secret. Any other collective mapping effort that anyone can see and jump in? 

AdibSP1, a map collectively made by adib and adib, in a theme of his choosing. 

Well I'm working on something and a couple collaborators are also contributing so if you're interested in doing some mapping let me know. Be warned though that my projects don't tend to appear at a breakneck pace; I'm aiming for the summer. 

I am always down to help if there is anything that I can do! :) 

What's the status on the Drake Merger?
What's the status on the 200 pending map reviews?
What's the status on the ongoing manhunt for PM? 

You are awesome negke. At least someone is still paying attention.

It seems like I will never get PM to return and "finish" his mod at this point; he may have been raptured or something (I know he has other projects but I'm lucky to hear from him once a year). On the other hand it hardly matters since I've had little time for mapping for the past 3-5 years. Yet I do plan to complete the Drake Merger as best as I am able within the next year or two, but my nearer term project is an episode that will hopefully be a sort of "teaser" for the merger.

It did occur to me to put the Drake Merger on a different mod; I haven't even played AD yet but I'm sure it has a lot of great features. However for Drake maps dragons, other custom monsters, and particular items like grappling hooks, are indispensable.

Thanks for the offer of help Generic, I was hoping to give contributors an update back in December but now it seems like it'll be April. So I'll be in touch.

The pending 200 map reviews will have to wait until the episode is out, at least ;) 

Just sent you an e-mail. Seems that the pace of your projects is a little like mine.

no new vga for me untils this one is totally broken 

 

you haven't, relax 

the App knows I did it, and it's just waiting for right time to send the data packet 

Has anyone else ever been punted to some shitty fucking fake "YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS" website, when browsing quakeone.com? Just happened to me now and it's not the first time... 

 

 

If anyone's brave enough to try it, this is the link I clicked on (from a google search)

http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-help/servers-coding/10329-alternative-quakec.html

And this screenshot shows where it kicked me to after a few seconds of reading that thread - it's obviously all bullshit...

this ain't normal, is it? (see image below) I don't really see the "not secure" warning anywhere else....

Do you use any kind of adblocker? If not, maybe the virus or whatever it is was in some malicious ad displayed or scripted to appear on the page. This can happen even on seemingly legit websites if the ad hosting service has some of their stuff compromised.
Or maybe Windows Defender also protects the user from mental harm... being quakeone and all! 

seems to be blocking things on that page
