I was looking forward to this, however as Unreal ended up making me feel nauseous when ever I seen it in any of it's incarnations, [causing me to throw everything I owned pertaining to Unreal in the bin some months back], I won't be able to check it unless I go out and buy another copy of UT2004.

However it may or may not be of interest to some of you, so there it is. 
Fucking Worst Site Ever 
fuck all those stupid javascript / all images kiddies 
Omg 
the css isnt even working correctly with opera.. 
Yes. 
Annoying. Works with IE6 but even so, why?

Doesn't encourage me to find more info, and thus try the download. 
Central Processing - Nexuiz Map 
I decided to make a small 1v1 just to find out about the Nexuiz engine. The result is Central Processing (kaznexdm1), and, in addition to the generic name, it sports some pretty textures and nifty lighting. Go out and get it!

Sigh, every such news update must contain screenshots. Kaziganthe, please re-submit news with screenshots links... 
Yah 
the Nexuiz engine

DarkPlaces for Quake, yes? Or has there been some customisations? 
Yes! 
Nexuiuiuz contains over 400% more light bloom than DarkPlaces. In fact, if you stare at a health pack long enough, it actually results in minor optical corrective surgery
Hitman 1 Question 
In this shot, rendered in wireframe:
http://www.phait-accompli.com/crap/hm/hm1_1.jpg

You'll see in the upper left and right corner a rectangle, with red squares in it. What is actually there in normal mode is text and HUD graphics.

Now, I don't know TOO much about graphics, but I am curious why the HUD elements seem to be one-in-the-same as everything else. I would think they would be a seperate layer of images and a font. From this shot I get the impression they are polys or somesuch. Make any sense? The crosshair is this way too. 
 
Easier to just render two extra tris per character/image while you're at it, instead of after you've rendered the world, you get the screenbuffer and perform some weird 2d drawing on that. 
Actually That's Fairly Standard 
Polygons will occupy the same screenspace regardless of resolution changes, whereas fonts change size. So the HUD is drawn on billboards for consistency.

Quake 3 does exactly the same thing. 
One AND The Same. 
and yes, that's pretty standard. All 3D games that i am aware of draw text and HUD elements using the 3D API. 
Need An Upload 
Allright, this time I'm sure that the file is nowhere to be found on the internet.

It's Juha Koiste's Dark Ages for the original Quake - as reviewed by Sefton on SPQ Level Heaven.

http://www.planetquake.com/spq2/quake1/d_f.htm

The filename is "darkages.zip" and it's 416kb's in size. If anybody out there has this map on his HDD -and I'm sure somebody has-, an upload will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help. 
Dark Ages 
The file is very findable :)

http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/maps/darkages.zip

Check out http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/maps/ for several old maps... I know mwh or someone gave that link just days ago somewhere in here?

Anyways, enjoy! 
I Cannot Believe People Like This Bullshit 
 
What the FUCK is that? The only thing that looks good is the cyber demon IMO. The pinky? He turned it into a rat. That's pathetic. :(
I could have gone on happy without ever knowing that existed phait. 
Central Processing - Nexuiz - Released 
What started out as a simple foray into the DP engine resulted in a neat little 1v1 map. In addition to the overly generic name, it sports some pretty textures, pipes, and some glass in there too. You can grab your copy here:

it would be placed into the news, but it will not, because there are no screenshots provided. 
Not What I'm Looking For 
The file is very findable :)

Well, Mandel; thanks for your effort - though that's not what I'm looking for. At least, I'm not sure if that's the map or not, cause the filesize is smaller than the one of Sefton's site and the map does not have a file extension.

I tried the load the map after giving it an extension of .bsp - to no luck.

Any ideas? 
Erc 
It's a .zip file so you need WinZip or something similar to unpack it first. The .bsp file is inside the darkages.zip file.

I just downloaded it and played it today (old school, but it is December 1996 so don't expect too much) 
That's Not The Problem 
Mike; I surely know about the .zip files and such - though the file inside the darkages.zip, "darkages", does not contain any extensions - just "darkages".

I renamed the file as "darkages.bsp" and tried to load it up, and this is is the error I got:
Mod_LoadBrushModel: maps/darkages.bsp has wrong version number (67324752 should be 29)

This is the first time I ever came across this error. Besides, Sefton's site says that the file is 416 kb's - this one is just 269. So? 
Darkages 
I just downloade the file from the above location, and it contains 2 files, 'darkages.bsp' and 'Darkages.txt'. I tried the map, and it ran fine. Also it's size is 642KB.
So if you are saying you downloaded the file from the above site, I would suggest you download it again and give it another try. 
No Luck 
Tried several times with IE5.0 and Opera 7.54 - to no luck. What kind of joke is this? VoreLord; is it possible for you to upload the file somewhere else, if it's Juha Koiste's? 
Darkages 
I have uploaded it to my site. Try that!

The SDA Link 
is fine for me too, no problem. Must be an issue in your end.
