No Stars Required 
3DBuzz no longer requires you to accumulate a star by 'community involvement'to be able to download the vast majority of it's Video turorials . Although all the DooM3 vid's have been freely available to people without a 'Star' the majority of other Vid's did require it. There is a lot of good stuff there, 3dsmax, Maya, PhotoShop, Unreal etc, etc.

Psychotoxic Demo... 
Looked like -2 generation shite, ran like ass, control feel like a cross between HL and Q3A, makes no sense at all, gameplay like....a bad Quake mod....and it hung after 2 minutes.

Highly recommended. 
Half-Life 2 Held Hostage? 
"Valve has announced that it will deliver a release candidate version of Half-Life 2 (HL2) (a game required under the 2001 SPA) to Sierra/VUG within the next few weeks. If Valve delivers a release candidate version that complies with the contract and is a Final Milestone, then VUG will have six months to release the product under the 2001 SPA. Valve is pressing VUG to release the product early within that six month window, and its representatives have made a number of public statements without our consent or concurrence that the product will be published and released to the general public in September of this year."

Sorry, Vorelord... 
all that effort, but it's pretty much just general gaming news. 
BIG BURGER 
5600 
I used to have a modem this fast! (Or slow, depending on how you look at it.)

Where's the praxinoscope icon? I'll have to use Pacman instead to signify the bygone technology. 
Yes. 
My burger was partially inspired by that.

I could manage the two pounder if I was hungry. No more than that tho...

A Vote For The Praxinoscope Icon... 
is a vote for victory! 
He. He. 
func_msgboard -- home of the "for want of a chromosome"-association

I have one too many.

See, Fatty? Your effort was first rate, but it lacked the staring down into the abyss and biting the head off of the monster that stares back sort of nihilism that Wrath gives a good flame. 
That's Okay 
I just ripped off one of Sterno's anyway! 
Heh 
Func_161: Double-Y-chromo Incarceration Facility? 
Maximum 
Security 
Oh Crap, 
they are on to me. Another 60 days trapped in the bowels of Area 51 is all I need. 
Abandon 
I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback from the sequel I made.
Not that it is that important, but it would help me make a better update for it.

It is not only one map, but several so I would like to hear your judgement...ie : best map of the pak, baddest gameflow, worst texture etc.
I could run it in Telejanos, DarkPlaces gave me strange loss of armour.

Thanks.


[note from scampie] This was a News Submission... but me and Vondur aren't sure if it's supposed to be a final map or if Madfox is just looking for some feedback or what. If this is a final pack release Madfox, go ahead and resubmit it as news, but make it more clear what the pack is. 
Doom3 1.1 Patch Available 
And the SDK is not included as promised. I'm rather steamed.

Links are available on any other gaming news site on earth. 
New GTK 1.5 Beta Available 
This version significantly improves support for Doom 3 in particular. Beleive it, or not

I Am Looking For... 
... good RtCW mapping resources (not ET) that explain the RtCW entities and such. Does anyone know of any? 
Hm... 
that's nice... if they fixed all those other problems... :P 
Madfox 
He's a little demo I did of the betax35 map.

I assume the shortcut is meant to be in there? 
Monitor Refresh Rates... 
not sure where to post this... we don't really have a general tech help thread.

basically, i'm wondering how i can get my monitor to use it's higher refresh rates when i play games.

in windows, i can manually specify what rates i want to use, and that's fine, but when i load up games, like say, Glquake, even in 640x480 where my monitor is able to do 160hz, i'm running in 60hz. (i can check by looking at the OSD, plus i can see it flickering which it doesn't do at 75hz +)
my desktop is set at 75hz (1280x1024) so it's not a problem with defaulting to the desktop's rate...

i've got the monitor drivers installed... anything else i need to do? (yes, directx is updated.) 
W2K/XP ? 
Fun Fact: 
the next fitzquake will let you set refreshrate with a cvar (fullscreen only.) 
Yay! 
thanks man, that's beautiful! 
Necros 
u can set refreshrates in drivers if u use latest from nvidia or ati, look carefully in display properties...
