just played the demo on my friend's pc, it's heaps better than ut2k3 in all aspects (maps, gameplay, gametypes etc). The new Onslaught mode is an absolute blast.

And it's the first game to my knowledge released on DVD so that you dotn have multiple install discs (there's a separate CD version consisting of 6 discs as well though.) 

That's three times the size of UT and about .9 times as good. Onslaught is ok, but I don't see anything here to justify an upgrade from UT. Most mods do more to change the gameplay than these devs bothered with.

I should say I have an inherent dislike of vehicles. 

I've been looking for photos of industrial machinery/interiors... I came across I think it was a german site a few years ago, but I don't recall the name. Anyone know of any links? 

I think you might be referring to this:

Nope, sorry. The site I hazily recall had a nice design to it as well... had closeup color photos of machinery... =\

I tried replying to your e-mail, but it bounced back. 

My name is constructed entirely from right-angles.

No wonder my maps are crap. 

There was a speedmap session with a right-angle theme. There were some cool maps in there.

Might need to bring that theme back out sometime. 

I'm having a bitch of a time with texturing this house. Does anybody have any tips for texturing a house with wooden walls and floors and stuff? Getting woods that match up reasonably and stuff is a huge pain. Any tips at all would be nice.

Also, does anyone know a good resource for some realistic wood textures? Preferably wood that is planked, but not really refined like a nice house. Older wood. But anything is helpful.

Thanks. 

There are some cool wood textures in Blood. Those are ported to Q1 .wad which I think you can get here in the Transfusion SDK: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22136

They're stylized, though, so they might not be what you're looking for.

There're also some more realistic wood textures in Rune, and some of those have been ported to Q1. Only problem is that they don't line up with architecture as well as others. I don't have a DL link handy, but I could e-mail them if necessary. 

Thanks, but I'm going to be using these for Ghost Recon, which supports fairly high resolution textures. I'm not sure if Q1 textures are going to look very good in it. I realize this is mostly a Q1 board though.

I'm downloading that Transfusion SDK now to check it out. Thanks! 

...yummy wood in the "Doom that came to Dunwich" set.

If you like any of those, download the pack off the main page. 

Much appreciated.

My grandiose Ontranto project may or may not be delayed again, as I'm dropping one of the maps.

Actually, I'm merging the two town maps together. There's several good reasons for this:

1. The second map just rehashes the play of the first one, but with more dead ends and timewasting.

2. I'm lazy as well as sick and tired of fucking around with stocking medieval houses.

So I'll be doing some civil engineering, unless casual inventory work gets in the way like last week. 

3. I'm spending far too much time playing Unreal, Q3A and System Shock 2. 

should have throwing daggers as a weapon. I don't know why but that just feels right. 

And pay-phone money so he can call you with progress reports. 

As to why I'm not able to send Czg a mail @ the address that's on his site? It keeps telling me:
The following message to was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:

Can anyone get into #tf. Looks like gamesnet.net has been going through some litigation and whatnot. Is the server down as as a result until it's moved or something? Thanks.
