there's an interview with me :P and with the owner of PC-Chick that I did at http://www.phaitaccompli.com/personal/index.php 

yeah, what kell said...
avoid deathtraps they're frustrating.
overall, nice oldskool map, keep on mapping :) 

I don't think Netzero will let you game. In fact I think it may have removed online capability for regular Quake on my machine as a result of trying. Oddly, the tricks for using Dreamcast on Netzero does allow gaming. Obviously, that has no ad bar or anything. I don't know anything about the pay Netzero except that it's supposedly the "Ultimate Internet." Not.

AOL can be used but I did see some cases it refused to connect anything but its own browser (normally, let it connect, minimize AOL, pretend it's normal service). Usually a reboot would fix this.

Currently switched to Intergate, getting more speed, some sub 200 ms pings, much cheaper. Not broadband but still impressive. Now I just need my computer to work again.

As to deathtraps, yeah, but there is something irreplacable about seeing 20 ton bloody steel spikes slicing away and stuff like that. 

Just downlaoded the latest tread and upon trying to use textures in a quake map it gave me the error message: Seek unable on this

I assumed the textures were gfx.wad??

How can I make textures work in tread 3d for quake? 

Ok Gib, it is a pretty decent editor, at least the version I use is 1.12 (all personal opinion of course). I can't say that I care all that much for the Tread3D 2.4 version that is currently available for download. That said, I am willing to make what I have available to the Qmap "gang of louts". It is/was registered in my name back in the day when they charged for it. Yep, I paid $35 to get my paws on it and have been pretty happy with it for over 4 years. I do use a couple versions of Radiant, Quark and World Craft now and then too.

BUT, try this first...

-Look in your Tread3D root dir. for ExtPak2.exe
-Run it with a double-click
-Point it's browser to your Quake dir. and allow it to run.
-Thats it! There will now be a c:\Quake\id1\quake.wad in your Options/Game Quake/textures viewer.

You will be ready to go from there and you can do the same process to load custom .wads.

Just a few bits about Tread;

-It loves to crash after the viewing of large quantities of textures in the Texture browser. I recommend that you save just before and right after selecting a texture.
-The CZG is scetchy at best and horrible in general, for the most part. I suggest that you NEVER CARVE with Tread (or any other Quake/Quake2 editor).
-Once a map grows to a large size, the Render view is very, very slow. I build without the use of the Render window exept when tweaking textures.

You may want to try an iteration of Radiant, I personally can't stand any of them but they are more stable and flexible. Once you get used to Tread and its quirks, I doubt anything else will do. (I imagine all editors have that effect eh?) 

Again, does anyone want to use this as a base? Just give me credit, and let us all know how it turns out if you use it.

Have fun! 

Just finished Moonlight Assault.

Wow.

Fucking huge! How long did that take to compile, what are your machine specs?

I like how it lead me on to think that after one batch of a good challenge of monsters, I thought I was through only to find - I wasn't. I think the map was too big though - fairly empty. But it was a good challenge, and great map. 

yes, I am alive... but I don't visit this board.. becuase for whatever reason I can't login my account(s). :(

D-D-D-Double post!

fuckin' awesome or what dudes? :D 

i have a job at TKO in santa cruz. I put all my stuff in storage, but i'm currently homeless. So, all my home projects like func and rubicon2 and fitzquake are on hold until i can set up my computer. 

at my site

hellBridge
Rune Run 

your site is all black and in turn it makes every page I go to appear black unless I restart the browser - but your site remains black... 

Rater good map. I liked the layout, gameplay (except that nasty push into lava) and some imaginative designes.
What you lacking is the consistency and proper texture usage. The map is a mishmash of styles and textures. IE same blue wall textures (the dm4 one) used allover walls, floors, bridges, supports, railings..
Look at how things done in e3 quake maps, or better some custom maps with strong style.

Nice to see a mapper from ??????. ?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ? ?? ?.??????????

Glad you had fun. 8)

Moonlite was made on a PII300 w/320MB RAM (started out with 128MB, but had to upgrade!). I don't really remember the compile time too well, but I think it was something like 15 mins bsp, 4 hours light and 7 hours vis.

i need a new machine.

150 MHz CYRIX of all CPU's... 48MB RAM..

however my friend Murph in the UK offers to compile my maps on his PC... 

Here you go.. I'm not normally big on photo manips, but oh well.

If you can spot the muscle man, I'll give you a cookie!

Sorry it's only 800x600... 

/me wonders if Maric's misspelling of CSG was intentional or not... 

.. 

Ummmmm... No, but what a brain-fart induced typo eh?

My appologies good sir. For all I know there is nothing scetchy about you whatsoever, then again... ;-)
