So, this guy comes up to me at work saying he had scrolled past the pages and pages of data in my excel file only to be greeted with this message:
"You're not supposed to be down here!
The ExcelLord smiles."

Made his day, I'd forgotten I stuck that in there like 5 years ago. 

At 47 maps in 2018 so far, we're better than we were in 2017, with 46 maps released by the end of June.

That was on May the 4th, so almost half a year to the day. We're at 147 maps now, meaning we managed to do 100 maps in 6 months. 

Bring on the online outrage! Or RIP Quaddicted. 

i've never seen as much enraged herr.negke as that 

Just a temporary rush of frustration; a silly post that would have made more sense on Quaddicted itself. More enraged by otr who called me out on it right away!!i 

 

Over on the Quaddicted forum Spirit has called for a "Weekend of Quaddicted's Future" where participants would help shape the next iteration of Quaddicted's database and web UI. You can get involved here: https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=622

Since the Quaddicted map system is old and broken, new releases never get added and I have too much control on the site:

How about we find a weekend some time this year to focus on the shortcomings of the site and grand visions / plans for the future? I have lots of ideas how a vastly different system could ensure that new releases are available in an instant, automated tools can become way more powerful, etc.

But alone it is not much fun to work this step by step.

Who would be up for some focused collaboration?

Participants with web development and data organization skills are encouraged to take part but anyone with suggestions on how the site can be implemented creating a better experience are welcome!

Anyone know who made this?

Silly mini mapping project idea: everyone loads up the source file and remixes the level however they see fit. Details, 3Dness, textures, gameplay.

Or even based on some other originally bad map to be polished and made good in a jam. Turn Shit Into Gold Jam... 

Pretty bad. I keep forgetting that the speedybase textures are based on the doom textures. 

Eom 

Recent experiences of remixing a map using the source file have not been entirely pleasurable...

Hello, before using the FTE engine I tried to create something in different game engines, such us Cry Engine 3, UE4 and Unity3d.

I understand that there are some certain problems in creating or modding something in quake-based engines. I sure that some of the problems can be solved with a few simple steps.

I am really interested in helping to all Quake-engine developers and I would like to understand the interests and needs of Quake Community. Please help me in that by completing this short questionnaire:

I will be really greatful to you if you help me with that. I will publish the results later! Thank you! 

Hey guys a while back I made this video about Clan IROQ maps. I was wondering if anybody here had any connecfion / interesting stories about these maps? Thanks and no worries if nobody does. https://youtu.be/1LSKMzqZ1Jo

No stories here but GG on your videos. You're quite the prolific Quake 2 historian!
