Lun, having played through the game some more, yes you can have variables carried over between maps (hazaa!)
I�ve got ahold of Doom 3. All excited, I installed it and fired it up. After 5 minutes my machine locks up. I reboot, try again, same thing. Then I notice that the fan has falled of my video card (Creative GeForce 4 Ti4200) causing it to overheat whenever I run a 3D app for longer than 5 minutes. The fan is unfixable. I curse. I curse some more and then decide to put my old video card (Creative GeForce 1 DDR) back into the machine to see whether that would help.
I install the video card, boot the machine, adjust some settings, fire up Doom 3, get surprised with the fact that it does, in fact run (a GeForce 3 card is stated as the bare minimum requirement for the game) and in 10 minutes... a lockup. In some disbelief I take a look at my PC case which is open... you guessed it, the fan on my GeForce 1 DDR card is not rotating... With lots of bills I have to pay and the shittiest GeForce 4 cards costing at least 80 euro, I guess I won�t be playing any games for quite some time... Fallout 3
Really short answers.. why did this dick even say yes to the interview? http://www.telefragged.com/interviews/fallout3/ Doom 3 Sound design, ANSWERS! http://www.telefragged.com/interviews/doom3/ are you saying that you think Doom3 caused the failure of the Gf4 ti4200?
or was it just bad timing? Might be old news, and I'm sure scampie doesn't give a toss, but hey. http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=116699&cid=9876519
And; "Amidst all the various Doom ports and expansions"
Predictable, but nice to know anyway (yes I'm aware that that sentences was highlighted on shack too) Make sure the GF1 is actually dead, fans are cheap, I used to have the fan die on a P120 all the time and it never killed it for good.
Guess it'll work on GF2, but Win98 isn't changing anytime soon... I don't want only a PC with XP ever, maybe NT? I know machines I've used with NT were fast, fast, fast He usually makes pretty good stuff. This on is called "Spill The Blood", apparently a Quake CTF remake.
Site http://www.planetquake.com/quakerx/ The 2 screenies on the front page don't look to bad</1> Info and Download http://www.planetquake.com/quakerx/spill.htm Crisp, well detailed, strong lighting...
Bit heavy on the red and blue colour scheme though :P P.S. Func_Msgb0rked Sin - has made a DooM3 remake of E1M1, well, it's probably not that good, or interesting, nor by the looks of it, is it making use of DooM3's capabilities. Looks just like a straight forward copy. But I'm gonna check it out later, just for a look see.
http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2915 P.S Func_Msgb0rked lol, I just have this anoying habit of hiting the 1 key instead of the i key, most times I catch myself, but.................................... It'd be better to see someone remake that map (or hell all the DooM epi's) suited with D3's tech, instead of similiar/exact geometrical copies.
Or better still, some kick ass custom stuff, but hey, it's early in the piece, peeps just having a fiddle, I am sure time will bring many wonderous things.
Mods There are already a couple of small mods out, on the front page of PlanetDoom, one just adds the flashlight to your pistol, another allows you to have one of the little sentury bots follow you at all times, forget what the other one is, just small stuff, but it's still early days. Haven't tried them myself http://www.jenniverse.com/pastel/
Well, there's a useful mod-ette idea right there. Hey, it was good enough for Sigourney Weaver... Some comments from that msgboard...
great, looks nice, looks good ! Wow, looks nice. looks really good NO. It looks fucking foul. I can't see one redeeming feature in there. It looks uglier than maps made for engines that are 1, 2, even 3 generations older. Well done the QMap lads for actually giving some proper criticism. God it amazes me how stupid some people can be to praise something that looks so shite. This is why we can't dilute this community too much... i got this email from,
jonATalcopopDOTorg email him or post here if you know... hello, I'm emailing you in an attempt to track down Aardappel. fov120.com/cubeengine.com appear to have dissapeared; I can't get through to webmaster for those addresses now and Aard has dropped off of IRC for a long, long time. I was wondering if you knew any of Aard's cube or quake-related haunts - I only knew him thru doom so maybe he's still around somewhere... And even after nonentity's and Biffs "appraisal" of the map, you get this,
Great job MNeMiC., not bad for a first map. Then we get a review of nonentity's "review" As for the degrading comments........Saying it looks like shit is just degrading..........I wouldn't be surprised MNeMiC never open's the editor again............I'm locking this thread as nothing good will come of it but a lesson in D3W etiquitte God help them if they ever came here. But the line of the day must go to Biff, I mean, I know the engine is capable of working miracles, but not in this case. :) And the depressing thing is I even said the guy shouldn't quit mapping, just work out what a good map is :/
Oh, and even better; the entire map is enclosed in a box because "fixing leaks is too hard to do"
