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.

Proxmap6 Screenshots
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):

3rd arena (using some czg scraps as a base!):

4th arena (yes, it's just EFDM12 with some minor changes):

P.S.
Big thanks to Willem for giving us access to the Quaketastic server.

humm will download then tonight!!!
Don't Forget...
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!
But...
...Isn't this a News item?
Nice

They look really really awesome! What fantastic brushwork, texturing and lighting! Quake 2 textures used to maximum effect right there!

why did you post news in the screenshots and betas thread?
Hah
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!)

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!
Wowz!... Just Got Back
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!!!
