Racism is where you find it.
There's all the old standbys shouted by the real racists but at the same time alot of british are in a real blind spot. The most racist people on the island are pakistani muslim. Indian pashto (?) hate thier fucking guts because they get painted with the same brush. Cross the divide and you realise how little the difference is. Then cross the equator and see brown nazis doing the same stupid shit and you realise an innocuos comment like JPL made in the grand scheme matters SFA. Tob be honest the only bit of those posts that my peripheral thinking didn't filter was the result. I still want to know what it was. Gouranga? What you name racism, must be named intolerance... Racism is much more considering that there are better races than others, hence the nazi concept of Arian superior race...
I'm not racist, and BTW I'm working with Indians all days in my company.. Also, using "slumdog" was much more a provocation (regarding the posts #5629 and #5630) than a racist act... Sorry of some people think I am racist: it is not the case, else I would have chosen a French website, not an international one as it is here: think about it ;) 1) I found the comment racist, not the person (hi JPL! ;)
2) From experience my Indian friends tend to be more racist against the 'pakis' and 'bangos' than the pakistanis (altho I'm hardly denying that there exist racism within other, if not all, minority communities). But yes, I'm aware that rastafarians support black supremacy much like the nation and many other equally heinous groups around the world. That still doesn't justify any form of racism. It just makes them wrong too... Wasn't saying it justifies anything - just pointing it out.
What I mean is that there's typically racism all over the place to some degree, no matter how politically correct the society. Weather its positive or negative racism is another matter, but the lowest pack mentality typically surfaces in some way. Electro has released the latest version of his Pro-X mod (QW RA/CA with multiarena support). More info and download link here:
http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=47011 This release includes a new map I've created (proxmap6) in the usual format, with a hub, 3 "duel arenas" and one large "teamplay" arena. Below are some screenshots, 1 from each arena. Firstly, the hub (choose your destiny): http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/proxmap6_hub.jpg 1st arena: http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/proxmap6_arena1.jpg 2nd arena: http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/proxmap6_arena2.jpg 3rd arena (using some czg scraps as a base!): http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/proxmap6_arena3.jpg 4th arena (yes, it's just EFDM12 with some minor changes): http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/proxmap6_arena4.jpg The version includes all of the previous maps too, 5 other arena maps by NotoriousRay, BlackPope, [Kona], Speedy, and the Polish connection MisYu+QurneL. Even if you may not get the opportunity to play it, the maps are well worth a look if you haven't seen them before.
And of course, the mod itself is pretty damn sweet! Thanks Electro! They look really really awesome! What fantastic brushwork, texturing and lighting! Quake 2 textures used to maximum effect right there!
Thanks guys. I posted it here because I just wanted to show some screenshots of proxmap6, since it is quite likely nobody will ever actually play the map.
Of course it doesn't hurt to pimp the mod a bit, but I know it has a very limited audience here (and I don't want to steal Electro's thunder!) i will play a little for sure... last night was trying sauerbraten :p but today i will try this for sure!
check this, i was just searching around some of the defunct Q2 mapping sites, and found this non-defunct news entry on Musashi's page:
http://musashi.planetquake.gamespy.com/index.html This guy's making a Q2SP pack and the news post is from 2009! from a full replay of the original game+mission packs! Enjoyed it greatly and went on search for some new stuff.
Found some garbage on Tenfour forums(they still keep track of all releases for several games) and was thinking about why noone does not map anymore for Q2... With acceptable quality, I mean... This stuff rocks!!!
