In case mY mail did not get through to you, thanks for the Qexpo contribution you made with the player model pack. Now, with a change of a few lines of code, any mapper can have several versions of Axeman in his level! 

Yeah, I did kinda think that after I'd made a few of 'em. The cawdor in particular seemed a likely candidate, with the noose and everything it would be very apt as an "executioner". One of the interesting things is that, although they'll work straight off as axemen, with a few seconds of work I could make much better models for the job. The way the models start out in the editor, the axe follows the hand throughout all the animations. It's then hidden from view in the final stage of conversion. So adding multiple death animations with the axe in hand would be an easy addition. If somebody was interested in using the models for this purpose, let me know and I'll release axemanic versions of the models you want. 

I got your email. I could use a few more monster types in my Shrine map. I may need to customize the textures to fit the theme, but new axemen would certainly be welcome.

BTW, where was Axeman first used? The Requiem episode, maybe? 

A lot of sites are loading very slowly, including this one, but my bandwidth is fine, and other sites load quickly.

Someone mentioned that there is a virus going around shitting things up, but I can't find any substantial stories. 

Trying to find a Quake 2 tex wad, every link in the WAD discussion thread is broke as well. Guess I'll have to reinstall Q2. 

...that's right, I'm looking for 3wctf301.zip... yes, I've googled but only seem to get dead links. Anyone got it lying around on their HDD? 

I prefer the lighting of the original Doom in those shots. Pitch black shadows are sooooooo last year. 

Ok, I came up with more than a few domains for when I begin hosting Quake 1/2/3 mappers. Which do you think?

- omgquake.com
- daquake.com
- quakemappers.com
- quaked.com
- qrackheads.com
- quakeit.com
- quakefiends.com
 

quakeisnotdead.com
10yearsandstillgoing.com 

Would prefer to keep it short. I mean:

h t t p ://member.quakeisnotdead.com ? 

yeah those were kinda long, i meant a domain more like this:


quakereallyisnotandwearenotfuckingkidding.com 

I'm thinking 2000 MB, 125 GB bandwidth ($100/year) or 3000 MB, 250 GB bandwidth ($200/year) should do well enough for hosting. I am really enjoying the idea - NO FILEPLANET! 

 

quaddicted.com will be open for file uploads as soon as i stop my lazyness ;) 

for when I begin hosting Quake 1/2/3 mappers.

oops, didn't read that... however, i'll let people upload singleplayer maps for Quake1. 

Your download layout needs some help, it's quite uncategorized - just filenames :| 

Since when/how/why did my static IP change from 68.x to 70.x 

at the QExpo, he has a height field renderer added into a Quake engine. There is even a little FitzQuake in the code:

//if (trace.ent->v.solid == SOLID_BSP) //johnfitz -- no sliding on entity bboxes  

quaked.com is good! 

http://qexpo.quakedev.com/booths.php?tag=asaki
this would sum it up pretty well... hooray to asaki! 

I know, it's just temporary. I'm working on some other download system at the moment. It is much better! 

Oh dear god. :( 

So I figured out I am in need of a new heatsink/cooler for my old computer. The CPU is an AMD TBird 1400 and the motherboard is Gigabyte GA-7DXR. It was running way too hot before (65c idle, 70c+ under load) and was constantly crashing so I had to underclock it to 1050 Mhz (idle temps dropped to 57c, load temps are around 60 now) to make it stable. However this is just a workaround and I need a proper solution for the overheating. So what would be the recommended heatsink/cooler for my setup? 

Put the computer in a sack, throw the sack in a river, and HURL the river into space! 

LOL!!
