That's priceless.

The weird thing is that I do machine learning programming for a living at the moment. And I do have an unfinished quake 3 map on my site. (Someone needs to kick my ass and make me finish it.) Wait a sec, I might know who sent this to me... 

Who was it? 

Well that's got to be someone you know yanking your chain... I've heard of targetted advertising but that's beyond ridiculous :)

p.s I've bought a lot of computer hardware from auspcmarket.com.au... of course you never know, but I have a hard time believing they'd be in on some kind of bizzare spam like this. They're more reputable than that.

(Yes, putting each letter on a new line somehow means that his "LOL" is more important than others.) 

that really appeals to the Ed Wood in me. 

Looks like a Kona map. 

Take it from me that Raven doesn't approach people they want to hire that way. 

anybody know how the situation with fov120.com/cubeengine is coming along?

oh and for those interested:

, a good article coming from the perspective that player's have less time to burn on bad designs. covers some issues that have been raised here in the past. 

It's common sense, but often times unvocalized common sense.

I now have a name for my dm map!

Ever since yesterday, after the technician got the wireless card working, FitzQuake's lightmaps have been plagued with these bursts of colour on arbitrary surfaces. And they do change over time. Maybe I should post some more psychedelic screens of Menkalikan for a laugh.

Anyway, what could be causing this? It isn't happening on any other engines I've tried... 

i seem to remember metlslime once posting pictures where he did something like that by accidentally screwing up some code. maybe remnants of that? 

Bad Trip, Dude

Must be something in the bovine feed this year. 

he did it to punish my sycophancy 

[nt] 

I don't need FritzQuake to make cocktails anyway. I know the best recipes by heart.

1 Bottle of Everclear
1 2 liter of Mountain Dew
1 packet of Lime Kool Aid

Mix it up and rock it out. 

It might be a long shot, but have you checked if there are any .lit files with the same name as the bsp in the same folder? Do you also get weird colour anomalies in other Q1 engines (or even other games)? 

It's not that, as far as I can tell. I'll have to find some other engines that use .lit though. It's just wierd - how the hell can getting a wireless card installed properly scrozzle a completely unrelated program?

(BTW: UT works fine. Still have to check Serious Sam, Q2 and Q3.) 

And I say it�s about goddamn time to force 95/98/ME users to upgrade:

"Well there have been rumours flying around lately that DOOM 3 would not be able to run on computers that have Windows 98 or Windows 98SE as their operating systems. Since we here at planetDOOM dislike rumours in all shapes and sizes, we went straight to the horses mouth so to speak and asked Activision themselves. The reply we got was that it is confirmed and indeed true that DOOM 3 will only run on Windows machines that have windows 2000 or XP and not lower. So there you have it, looks like some peoples upgrading woes just aren't quite over yet."

Not me though. 

(NOTE FROM SCAMPIE: this is 'rejected news'. Panzer was just correcting his approved news post.) 

fov120 is up, but the server is not properly configured yet. I had a bit of bad luck in the last weeks (car crash, laptop crash etc) so I didn't find the time to work on it. I will try to get at least cubeengine.com back up before monday. 

"And I say it�s about goddamn time to force 95/98/ME users to upgrade"

Yay! lets hand Microsoft some more money! Wooo! I love you Bill.
