Hey everyone, I've finally released a map. After years of development on and off, the map is complete and ready for you. Hope everyone enjoys it, I feel it is a pretty big improvement over my previous works. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough tho. Also thanks to jhrx who will be hosting my new website at http://prodigy.spawnpoint.com

Here is the stuff.

Commments are welcome as always. Thanks to all the testers over the course of the different maps that I had created between dm6 and this. Also thanks to the guys that play tested it with me, gave me some awesome feedback. 

those are all .orgs, i don't know what i was thinking. i wasn't. someone fix that

Goes like this:

Only one end of the Long Cable Under the House is T568B. The other's wired like a normal Ethernet cable, with an RJ45 plug, and plugged directly into the router.

All cables are the same type.

But it sounds like we prolly need another T568B down this end too... oh well, at least they're not expensive.

(We don't even have easy access to a crimping tool - we used a nail punch - gingerly!) 

It's jackbootylicious.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. 

They are pretty accomadating. I use to post their all the time on a plethoria of topics before my humble little machinima production crew broke up last summer.
I'm surprised there are few msgboarders in this forum who post their given one of their major topic areas concern speed run recammers like Anthony of Dead on Que.
In fact, I assumed you were attempting to demo record a console based game, and even if I'm wrong about that in my humble opinion, your topic is related. 

The end that is RJ45
look at the wires,
if they are (pin side up, left to right)
1 white/orange
2 orange
3 white/green
4 blue
5 white/blue
6 green
7 white/brown
8 brown
that is T568B
If they start with white/green that is T568A.

When you say router doesn't see the PC, do you
mean that the link lights don't turn on on the
NIC and on the router? or the lights come on
but you can't ping/browse the internet?

Ouch a nail & punch, I hope you don't have to
put very many ends on. 

I reread your original posting, and I guess you may be simply attempting to get the game cube to work with your monitor because you would prefer to play the cube using a pc monitor. The basic question behind this is if there is a convenient means of using a card to convert the tv signal to one the monitor would read natively. I tell you what, my brother is an engineer formerly with AGFA and now with Barco graphics who does this sort of thing for a living. I'll forward your question. 

HeadThump: heh thanks. I think I was basically just looking for advice on what TV card would give the best quality. ;) 

T568B: Yup, that's how all the naughty plugs are wired.

Alas! No light on yonder router breaks (but I'll check again late tonight, when I am told the sun will go down and I can actually see the damn things.) I haven't examined the Front computer's rear end though - and yes, I ditched all the drivers and had 98 reinstall 'em.

(And as for using a punch, well, five out of nine ain't bad, right?)

Where can I download this? 

Impressed.

It can not easily be described, as it is simply an improved Quake

Mmmmmm hmmmmm. Sorry, I really don't like the look of those shots. That might be a technical improvement but I don't see it as an aesthetic improvement. 

All those shots look sad.
Iikka's maps look much more better in winquake/fitzquake than in this mutated shite.
Leave classic levels alone and make new maps for these engines, considering nu tech. 

Im looking for some jungle tracks whih featured Mc Navigator from the old radio one show `One In The Jungle`, wondering if any of the jungle experts could show me were I can find some. /me looks at Shambler. 

really don't do justice to the engine, its a lot less 'mutated shite' than it appears there... fits in rather well with the Quake aesthetic too (very gritty and dark).

It's a shame there isnt a version without the optional bloated features (technically amazing but not neccessary for standard quake maps). I'm not sure it slows it down at all but its a psychological thing for me i think :) 

you really think shots 5 and 8 of ikka's maps look that bad? The others dont look great because there's all that extra new weapon flash etc crap but IMHO shots 5 & 8 look pretty cool. 

from the darkplaces screenshots page:

personally I prefer the id1 textures over most of the qe1 textures but people wanted to see screenshots of this 

/me quadrails those people
:) 

<Shambler> this evening has reaffirmed my hatred of: mappers, non-mappers, gamers, americans, so-called community members, anyone with english as their first language, anyone from scandinavia, anyone who's ever liked quake, and #tf in general

I would just like to say that I am not from Scandinavia. I am sure everyone is aware of this. Thank you, and good day. 

...sorry no idea.

Vigil: LOL! 

icculus page seems down, so i can't laugh at these DP screenshots along with y'all 

yeah anyone remember MPQ? This has nothing to do with MPQ.

well, since I'm a literature major (probably) and for other reasons as well, I decided I wanted to make a list of all the books I'd ever read, including bibliographical information (handy when you can just copy and paste it, instead of annoyingly having to type it out manually every time you use a book as a source), some quotations from it, a general review etc, and some information about genre and rating. So I started writing it. Then I realized it would be WAY better, especially since if I kept updating it it would probably get unmanagably huge, to have it in html with a series of sorting options much like they had at MPQ (RIP).

So, a couple questions:
a) does anyone have any idea at all what I'm trying to talk about here?
b) how much work is involved?
c) is anyone capable of doing it for me?
d) does anyone want to do it?
e) is shambler gay? I think we all know the answer to that one

the last was purely there for entertainment value. I now await the barrage of insults and mockeries of my personality, maps, and site that will undoubtedly follow this post swiftly heh.
