Not quite sure... here's the threads:
http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=11 If you're interested I'd post there with any questions, I'm not really in charge of it, just the site. HAPPY NEW YEAR folks, mappers and all
u know Iv been away from all this q1 stuff and func_msg_borked banter but anyway, its like school, where I learnt and it really helped me in life... have fun, make games and maps not really yours, Speedy aka www.cr8.da.ru what were you expecting? i haven't touched the sound code in fitzquake at all. So, if it doesn't load in winquake or glquake, it won't load in fitzquake.
Quite impressive hl2 esque video made on doom3 tech from the people over at doom3world. Worth downloading!
http://www.pcgamemods.com/9397/ (27 odd mb iirc, and is encoded with xvid) When the tsnuami fundraiser/music operation is finalized and online, should I post details here in GA, or start a discussion thread?
For those that missed my previous post about this... over at the MusicPlayer.com forums a bunch of us are working on a collaboration CD and such that's going to raise funds. Several of the people there are in the music industry and have connections and we're all trying to get this thing worthwhile and going. Mostly I'm responsible for the website. http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/184_lovecraft1.shtml
Oh, and Happy New Year Quakers! I'm so glad they showed the Doom3 engine doing a very standard moving light source casting shadows (that happened to be placed in the sky, incredible creativity there) 14 times over, as I didn't get it the first 13 times.
Nice article, though I have read the same observations explored more thouroughly. It's odd how all of the articles I've read about occultism in Lovecraft's writing have as their main theme an attempt to demonstrate that Lovecraft was not himself a practicing magician; I've never actually met anyone who claims he was. Although I have met someone who firmly believed Giger is a cultist.
Anyway, I'm not getting into another debate; 'twas a good article, but my main concern with Lovecraftian monsters atm is what size of bounding box they use. And I believe now is an appropriate juncture at which to post this: http://kell.spawnpoint.org/screenshots/polyp.gif THOSE EYES!!
You know, with the proper skin you could make that thing look like a pac-man monster! Get onto it now! Yeah, I have to agree with Shambler. I wasn't impressed with that. Throw in a few more things I wasn't expecting--some things that require ingenuity--and I'll be impressed.

This call of cthulhu game has been in development for forty billion years now, it's up there with DNForever. However, the CoC game has an approximate release date and their website is being updated fairly frequently with information. Anyone else really peeing their pants with excitement? I'm not really familiar with Lovecraft's work to be honest, but I'm interested in it, and the CoC game looks like it's going to be the bees knees. It sounds like it will be quite different from most other FPS type games being released around the same time too - more an adventure than an action game or pseudo-RPG. The team seem to be making the game quite slow paced and a little more realistic than most are used to and leaving the player fairly weak. I really like the idea of insanity effects, although Eternal Darkness on the GC had some rather irritating ones. There are many video clips of the game in action around the net, most of them showing off a very dark, gloomy and frightening world. Sometimes the graphics look a little primitive (sometimes not) but who cares as long as it's not all polish and nothing underneath? Sounds good, gameplay and stuff. Sounds like they're making the effort to make something a bit different. Shots look nice and atmospheric but kinda need a top engine to do them justice.
Not read any lovecraft stuff, but it sounds odd and interresting... hope the game is good, but the graphics do look a bit shit imo
yeah, this game looks pretty hot. but as you mentioned, there are some screen shots that look kind of bad -- i guess i've been spoiled with all the new games coming out with supercrazy graphics. still, i love horror games that can scare the shit out of me, so am really looking forward to this game.
some of the insanity effects sound annoying,but it may work in the game, so i'm willing to wait and see. About The Vampire patch (not wanting to clutter up the other thread), which one should I install? The official 1.2 from Activision or the unofficial 1.2 from Dan_upgrade?? I tried the latter as it was the only one listed on planetvampire but it wouldn't work...
I'm running the unofficial 1.2 at the moment, but I would suggest grabbing the official one at this point, as it (reportedly) fixes the same game-breaker shit that Dan's does, and also fixes code stuff that a fan-made patch can't touch.
What wouldn't work for the unofficial 1.2? The link? The install? I am quite looking forward to the Cthulhu game, and really hoping it's good and doesn't make me cry.
And the lemmings link caused Firefox to shit itself in a messy manner...maybe I'll try in IE.
