You may possibly mean jungling Vormit?

Many nights I have spent on extrapolating
this devious contraption 
So 
Is Quaketastic still working for uploading new files?
(Login isn't working)

I really like the mines setting. Heretic 2 had a good Mines texture set that may be worth looking into. 
Come On ! 
I want to see some Shambler juggling one or two ogre(zombie, or Vore) heads. Could be great ! 
Neg!ke 
I made an update to the link. Maybe I had to change to the models & request thread.

juglin vormit

I changed the shal_stand into the jugling one.
Other poses are also there so it fits easy in game.
Now he's jugling behind my death trap.
Are there any request a shallrath could use for extra pose?

@mechtech - I signed up to that link, but I can't view the jpg.

@barnak - Do you not understand this will collide to a great panic of bouncing boxes? 
Ijed 
depends what B is. A is probably a solid option. Or D. ;) 
Spoilers 
A is one of Madfox creatures 'Mr Big' who I've begun to implement as a shambler class base enemy.

B I think would be cool. I was reading the 3d cafe bot tutorials and had an idea for an otherwise weaponless enemy that would try and get close to you to plant a bomb, then run away. Once the bomb exploded, if you were still alive, it'd return to plant another.

I wanted to use it when revisiting areas so that its bomb wouldn't depopulate new places. Could also be used in labyrinths designed especially for it.

So yeah, going with A for now. Big bullet sponge ogre hybrid with a chaingun.

I'm on holiday in a few days anyway, so it's just fun to make a simple enemy before I go. 
I Like The Sounds Of A 
but also B, after reading this initial description. Sounds more unique, but more risky, and perhaps less Quakey?

So yeah, I think you should go with A based on what I've seen. Good luck on the pre-holiday push!

Colored Lights 
I've been a good boy and listened to your feedback. Here's a test shot. Colored lights in a Quake themed map, oh my.....

Looks Hot! 
 
Looks Good 
Colored lights can work well in Quake if they are very subtle. Check out sock's maps for examples. 
Nice 
I did coloured lights in a bunch of maps - less is more :)

Although that does look rather fetch :D 
If Thats Still The Q3 Map 
now it definitely looks more q1 :) 
Sprony 
that looks great! 
Not Too Bad 
But I think that the yellow light up high is just a tad too yellow. The lower lights look good though. As mentioned earlier, less is more when it comes to colored lights in Quake. It's not a disco and it's not a shopping district so colors just look out of place if they're garish but if done right they can add to the look of a level. 
Thanks Guys! 
Agreed, I was already planning on toning that one down. 
 
Love how the blue light at top adds some coldness to an otherwise warm scene. 
Something I've Been Tinkering 
Grrr I Just Noticed The Bad Texture Alignment 
 
Cool... 
but are you mixing jf1 and jf2 textures? I'd recommend replacing all jf1 textures with equivalent ones from jf2, which are less sloppy overall. (e.g. the rivets are tighter looking, bevels are harder, flat metal has more of a texture to it instead of just ripply colors.) 
 
Yeah I'm mixing the two, though I've been thinking of replacing the jf1 textures since I started using jf2 a bit later. 
Texture Alignment 
Whatever, wip. Looks very pretty! 
Stacky: 
texture quibble aside, i like the moodiness of it, the lighting and texture use. The green fog seems to work also. The triangle shaped structures are cool. 
Stacky: 
I like it too. Very moody. Has a bit of a Doom vibe don't you think? The green waste levels.

Not sure about the sky though. Darker green would look better. This is too light imo. 
Thanks 
The sky has this color because of the fog. It's a greyish sky normally, though I could probably darken the fog somehow.
