I looked at the screenshots and stuff. It's a huge aggregation of a bunch of (presumably free) existing content, including textures and levels you will probably recognize. For example I saw a retextured version of an RPG speedmap here: http://qexpo.quakedev.com/uploaded/17/weapons000012.jpg

It also appears to have some non-free content, such as models recognizably ripped from quake2 and the UT series.

It also doesn't appear to be a true TC, as i see stock torch models, a knight model, and stock HUD graphics.

Those comments aside, it would be interesting to see what all is here and how it plays, since it claims to be a huge game (6x15 SP levels?) 

lots of material randomly thrown together without the slightest credit for the original authors. not only quake2 monsters, weapons and music (+unreal tournament apparently), also rpg and quoth stuff, as well as a lot of maps that i would bet my ass are used without permission, like e1m1rmx, rpgse, beyond belief,... 

not a lot of original content, but still fun to play through, some of the weapons were pretty satisfying, although the combat got a little boring after a while. Stupid scrags. 

I saw this during the expo. In the booth, screenshots 2, 3, and 4 are from RPGSMSE. However, I released the maps under the GPL, so he has every right to use them, as long as he redistributes the source if he made any changes.

However, I strongly disapprove of his texture-replacement choices. tsk. 

The "Tails" guy is a 13 (ish) year old from a non-English speaking country.

Just a kid who has to use Babelfish to read English and isn't familiar with legalities and such.

I wouldn't be too hard on him. 

He is not Tails but Shadowtails.He is from Czech

Tails is right.Many mods is illegal not for quake1 only.Good work shadowtails. 

/me sits back, props his feet an enjoys the show. 

Delete where not applicable. 

...so I downloaded (without reading the thread). Started the game. Turned off the rather boring soundtrack. Got geared for the action. System crashed 2 times in the start map. Deleted everything. Got back to Adamantine Cruelty. Aaaahhhh!!! Relief...
Got to the thread...
These people simply have a real thin grip on reality...
BTW, Neg!ke roolz!

The Silent has spoken(!) 

I don not know what happens with your start map but if you get the setup on your HDD try download the update. 

is this really news material? :))) 

yeah, maybe my maps suck, but at least i did make some myself.
see, split personality, all i was trying to say is properly credit all material you use. gpl'd or not, this is the way to go, even for unoriginal mods - quakesrc people told you the same a week ago btw.
i'm truely sorry if my previous post hurt your feelings... for i know squeezing pimples hurts enough already... ;) 

this thread rocks!

John: How come you as a chinese connect with shadowtails (czech) IP? 

I have already sad that it is not my mistake that Rushin server modify zip formats and delet all contacts and appropriate to himself.
Sourc code is legal.I have permission from wazat.

PS:As far as would be the contact email in all zip i would used to be send to all authors for permission.If they sad NO i would delete them from my mod. 

You may use my maps in your mod. That is your right. But if you have modified my maps, please also upload the new source .map files to comply with the license.

Stay strong shadowtails ... takes a while to learn "the rules" in anything and everyone makes mistakes the first time or 2 they do things.

"Rookie mistakes" ... everyone makes them.
