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. 

that there's some software that can look up barcodes and tell you the book's info. You obviously need a barcode reader (maybe a cuecat,) the software, and some database for the software to connect to (maybe it's online?)

Just an idea. 

I'd like to answer e), but we had a long talk the morning after, and came to realise it was the booze running the show. Also, a tiny bit of, healthy and very normal, curiousity.

So, no comments, really. 

and also, thanks for the suggestions metlslime :) 

wrath.
