In testing Ontranto, my testers and I have noticed that sometimes textures (and, occasionally, model skins) get replaced by the skybox under FitzQuake 0.75. Any idea what might be causing that? 

Not sure, but if you're willing to hook me up with a copy of the ontranto beta, i can try to reproduce the problem. 

...not in quark 

I'm back... anyone miss me?
I definitely missed this place, what have I missed in the last 3 months? Some good map releases I hope, and flame wars and drama of course. 

xen apparently left, and I released a Communist Q1SP map (see the front page). 

I missed you too, sugar buns! 

In your absence, nothing has happened. We grinded to a halt without you. 

did you get my e-mail with TA track names?

and also welcome back=) 

wow, that was 3 months? 

Yeah it was 3 months all right, though it certainly went fast for me :). Hey Pulsar; I don't think I got your email unfortunately, PQ won't let me log on. My starbuck_dude@hotmail.com address is working, so if you sent it there it must have got lost in the abyss.

Greetings, Scampie...shame about everything stalling with me gone, but it just confirms my theory that Func_ without me is like James Brown without PCP, or beating your wife without wearing a dirty white vest (undershirt). Yo RPG, nice to see you! Just played your map by the way, it was seizure-inducing, but in a good sense... always nice to see experimental stuff being released. 

You bring nothing to the table! 

i brought the cutlery! dont let daddy get mad! 

Welcome back Starbuck. 

any1 know servers with custom good maps ?
or maybe admins and servers that accept maps ? 

I have a QW Requiem server up, but no one plays,
if you want I can run normal QW (or a diff mod)
and put some more custom maps on.

lotsa new weapons and things, some runes, etc.
a few ppl. still play from time to time.

i checked it out. it seems overly complicated. there are like two dozen guns... holy shit.

i wish there was still some regular quake servers to play on. that would be cool. 

Stupid overloaded weapon mods.

Can someone point me to a high quality custom DM map that is not categorized as Yet Another Atrium map? I've never been clear on what made those maps YAAM. Reading the definition of "atrium" doesn't help any:

atrium
n 1: any chamber that is connected to other chambers or passageways (especially one of the two upper chambers of the heart) 2: the central area in a building; open to the sky

Based on that definition, every decent or good DM map I've played has been an atrium map. 

...on video. Impressive.

try headshot's spinev2! its a really well playing map and it is definitely not atrium style. once you learn the layout you will probably get a better idea of how deathmatch layouts do not have to be circular-path-around-single-room to have exciting play. also, try id's dm6, and frib's efdm10. 

IMHO peej's addict (or strafin6 for q1), bal3dm2 aren non-atrium maps.
