thanks Starbuck... also i am thinking abut adding Doom 3 SP Map reviews to my site.

1.Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea?
2.Would anyone be interested in writing Doom 3 map reviews?

[My personal main stumbling block for Doom3 right now is the money required to buy the hi-end graphics card i need to play Doom3 at a frame rate acceptable to me. [right now i get 15-20 fps typically]]. 

1. Review for games that really need maps reviewing, both in terms of exposure needed and maps that need to be analyse.

2. Review for games that genuinely inspire you and that you geniunely want to highlight mapping for. 

Kinn Kell RPG Bal Cybear Anyone else I seem to host without knowing it:

Please email me your SP logins/passwords, I've bought new hosting, and will now be readding you all. For this week, we'll still be at our current location, but as soon as I get you added and email you back some directions for logging in, you can start getting things together on the new server. Also let me know if you currently have an SP email and if you want to continue using it (and login/pass if it's differant)

Hopefully I'll be able to make the move as painless as possible, but it'd be very helpful if you each move your own sites over. Kinn, I'll move you since you're most likely already gone to the US :D

In the meantime, http://67.15.24.154/ is our new home, could a few people try downloading this 10 meg video clip to see how speeds are? (the nutrigrain commercial thing that was going around a year ago, very funny) http://67.15.24.154/nutrigrain_medium.mov 

256/64 ADSL from Perth, Australia 

512/128 ADSL from Copenhagen Denmark 

2200/640 ADSL from Norway 

what logins? for the ftp? I think you know those better than me.... 

2400/128 ADSL from the city o' Love, France.
Yay, sending you my info scamp, I can take care of reuploading my site if you want (gonna be slow tho with my 15kb/sec upload). 

1500/256 ADSL, NQ Australia 

and was only getting higher.
Edinburgh, Scotland, on a crazy university network. 

Random cable connect, North Carolina, USA. 

1280/256 cable, Savannah GA disregard my IM I cleared the cache and did it again 

2048/512 ADSL, Finland but you knew this already! 

the func pissing contest and bicep flexing tournament.

(450 kb/sec on a 10mbit ethernet connection) 

1024/512 broadband, UK. That really sucks actually, most DLs are 110kb/s. 

220kb/sec; 2500/128 Cable connection; Ontario, Canada. 

3mb cable, east coast usa (maryland). woot, is the host center on east coast? :) 

Send me that e-mail, d00d. 

I've been happy with 40kb/sec DSL since switching from dial-up, but these 3 digit ranges make me more envious! 

it's hosting in texas, usa, and it seems that we have decent speeds all around. great stuff :D 

who's the host? Lunaran.com needs a better home. 

I thought that Hammer/WC3.3 could convert to .map files that other editors could handle. I thought I had actually done this in the past. However right now I can't seem to accomplish this. Anyone know a sure fire way to get a 3.3 file into a generic.map that any editor can handle? (I realize some texture handling and so forth may be lost in the .map) 

Tronyn has submitted two new map reviews:

review of araivo: Apinaraivo
review of SM40 map pack [2 maps]

http://www.planetquake.com/underworld/index.html 

there were qonverge tools by riot. but their site is offline atm. try looking for qonverge.zip on the net. the package contains necessary utils to convert maps from wc3.3 to proper q1.
(i cannot find it on my hdd tho) 

I didn't know it could do that as well. I think that's about the third time you've answered my questions about Qonverge. I think I have the zip on my HD around somewhere. Thanks.
