After three bloated visits on discord I had to chang the site because the reloading of the screen every four seconds made my chance to follow something very limited.
Not a bad word for discord because it might be my computer.

20k Mapping Help posts: that is probably one of the biggest issues with Discord, as we will be losing in the future all the new information that is posted there now. Sure, we can go back and check older posts or we could make a backup of Discord's chat, but it is a lot harder to navigate there and not the same as having it here public where anyone can see it anytime.
Well, more like an issue with the social networks as a whole than of Discord's, but an issue still. Could be nice to have a archive here of all of that information to store.
Well
That's above my pay grade. What we need a is a legion of people updating Quakewiki.org with said info.
A Site

I still care for InsideQc, although it might be my critical error.
Saved the tutorials on quaketastic in time.

This site’s use as an archive is invaluable. It has a way of crystallizing events and milestones in a way Discord cannot.

That is an option too, but apart that it would need a legion of people like you say, in the transcription parts are lost for sure.

I keep seeing the updates from mankrip here:
https://twitter.com/mankrip
But there's no github, bitbucket or anything with the engine itself. Was it ever released?

How is that possible? His words: "Nothing would make me happier than someone willing to create a new game using the technology I'm creating for Retroquad. Nothing would make me happier than knowing that my tech inspired someone to do that.
There's nothing I crave more than that in my life."
And then again: ""Impressive, but worthless" would be a nice description for my work."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All I know is that he hasn't made it public.

I've found this on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/quake/comments/evvbmu/improved_collision_detection_for_quake_1/
"Improved collision detection for Quake 1" (by faisal_who)
"... I was able to hack up quakespasm to allow proper collision detection. Bullets can now fly through gaps in the model (since im testing against actual geometry, not a bounding box).
Even though in this vid im using quakeguy as my target, I can actually play the entire quake1 camping with precise collision detection for hitscan attacks (i.e bullets)."
And here is the video:

Interesting. Very very interesting...

But by saying so I might convince others to take pity and buy his art. Such is life.

most Q1 and Q2 mappers seem to gather around this board. but does anyone know any *breathing* Q3 mapping community?
