Netscape compliant: Thank you Than!

After
so many tricky attempts to make this page fully Netscape compliant, good
old Than has come to the rescue, resolving
all my problems for your viewing pleasure. After catching him on
ICQ, he checked the HTML code, polished his tough nylon mousepad and
send my way a big mofo of an email explaining all the changes i had
to do. And know what? it works... now that i´m happy i can continue
with my task of adding Quake related news instead of bothering you
with techy bits. Thank you very much, Than; you are da
man!

Still another site tweaking 22 FEB 00:58
CET

Do you like the new In
Brief feature in the upper side of the screen? You can click on the tittle, pause the scroll,
and even manually scroll up and down as you wish.
Major purpose for that is updating the site when i have very
little free time as it´s as easy as writing the bits and
i´m set.

Techy update 19 FEB 20:12
CET
|
I have updated the button bars with a new one... tested both
on Netscape and Explorer and worked great, so i´m expecting
it will suits you fine. I keep receiving email regarding the new
look, and some of them are positive about it while others dont.
Oh well... The archives button will allow you to check past days. It´s
not working fully right now because all the stuff i have done since
the redesign is here, but you can check latest Levels of the
Week.

A new beginning 13 FEB 19:47
CET

I have binned the map i was carrying on
because i have new ideas for it. This means it will be a better one (lets
guess so), but it will need some more time for developing. I only
hope it will be worth the wait... thank you for your patience!

Overkill - ominous
teamplay
provided by Wiebo 10 FEB 21:38

Team play maps are not as known or easy
to find as 1on1 or FFA maps, and i dont really know why
because a good Team Play is as cool as the more gorgeous FFA
party in the world.
Wiebo de Wit has recently released
Overkill, an huge level with really nice momentums and one
of the most entertainment Team Play experience of the lot. I only
regret Wiebo has not included room names support on the map,
but other than that, is a highly recommended one. Go!

Classic
Quake Map Pack 10 FEB 00:06
CET
|
Planetquake has recently released the Map Pack #1: Quake DM, and has
some well-known pieces in there such as "Anticlimax" by Cheshire,
"Ultraviolence" by Escher and the Big Classic "Aerowalk"
by Preacher. It was annoying, but oh so pleasant to find one little
piece in there called "Pandemonium" by your very own Excessus. :)
Check it out on the
Planetquake features while it´s hot.

Exdm3
source map available 09 FEB 00:01
CET

I completely forgot to include the original
source map file for exdm3 i released a few days before the redesign
stuff, trying to satisfy all the people who have asked me so many
times for a Q3A conversion. If you are interested, and in the hope
it helps, head over to the pick-a-map section and
download it. I will be releasing the rest of the files for the entire serie in the next days.

Devolved
is the winner of this week Grand Prize for its excellent ambience,
enhanced TeamPlay gameplay (with room name support!) and professional
polishing. This piece can remember good old DooM for the feeling
of its architecture and visual impact, while retaining all the great
gameplay of this modern reincarnation of the Q3 engine.

Author Marcus Dromowicz (mexx) explains much better than
i could do, so here´s the scoop: "This map was designed
to create an uncomplicated playground for 6+ more players. I tried
to keep it balanced, the two most powerful weapons (railgun, rocket
launcher ) are placed at opposing sides of the maps, therefore creating
two areas that will be of interest to most players. Besides standard
DM, the map plays well in team DM, too. Due to the fact that weapon
respawn time is increased in this game mode, the two shotguns get
more important.". What are you waiting for? Download your

UNDER DEVELOPMENT: Q3EXDM1
|
I have not much to show, because i recently
binned the current map i was carrying
over (mainly because it used UT textures, and i have heard this is
no longer a safe thing to do), but i´m
taking all the spare time i can to put my hands
into the editor to bring you the first Q3 map of
me. Keep checking this box; i´ll keep you posted.
