Hi Guys

thought of an idea  Slipgate - Off Topic

what games or mods do we play

check out planetquake at the mo for quake 3 lego carnage  Slipgate - Laugh

it's well worth playing just for it's humour value alone

I'm a Painkeep Arena fan myself. The Private Bot is nothing short of genius.

Well I sometimes play the old Q2 Generations, a lot of times I just beat up on Q2 Gladiator bots.  Sometimes I'll load them up in Rocket Arena for some mindless slaughter.  Recently I've also been playing through Doom 1 using the Doomsday engine.  Visually it's spectacular, especially if you really tweak the dynamic lighting.  My only gripe is the way the sound is handled, but I've not updated for a while so that might be fixed.

Slipgate - Off Topic If you're talking about the way the pitch of the sounds change, there's a way to disable that by running the kickstart launcher. I have that disabled cos it did my head in. Slipgate - Wink

This reminds me of the mods we used to play on Q2 lans:

- Red Rover (alas, never remade for Q3 Slipgate - Sad )
- Catch the Chicken (which exists for Q3)
- LeperQuake (which does not)

I often play:
SOG(Q2)
Doom64 TC(Doom 2/Doomsday)
Q2 Gen(Q2)
Hunt(Q3)
Doom 2.5(Doom/EDGE)

Can't think of much else I play in the FPS mod department, really.

No, it's not the sound pitch that's the problem, as the shareware 1.2 Doom did that (and I missed it ever since 1.666 dammit!).  Just load up ZDoom and chainsaw a demon, and fire a plasma burst point blank at a wall, then load up Doomsday and do the same thing.  ZDoom's sound code is much more inline with Doom.exe and Doom2.exe, I don't know what Doomsday did to theirs but I don't like it.

I play Enemy Territory Fortress (ETF)... other than that, my gaming is quite limited by my mood at the time. I've been known to play all the old classics at random intervals in time.. Wolf3d, Doom/Doom2, Quake.. I avoid Q2 with a passion tho.. inferior product (bias opinion). I don't play anything relating to HL either (more bias). So.. as it stands, Gen is the only reason Q3 is still alive on my computer. Slipgate - Smile

i know what you mean pho

it's like it sounds like doom but it isn't, not sure what they did to it either but it ruins the mood


and you know i never though that people would take to this thread sooo well, well shows what i know

also my top 5 mods of this week other than gen are

1. Nexuiz, a completely new game based of the quake engine very sci fiy  worth a good look
2. Jailbreak POW, another mod i have been waiting for and was well worth the wait  Slipgate - Laugh
3. Lotr BfME massive, ok so it's not a quake 3 mod, but finally the kickass scale of battles in return of the king are possible  Thumbs up!
4. Animal Arena, not a new mod but still a goody playing as the roo class is always funny
5 Air Bucanners, yup it's a ut2004 mod that isn't deathmatch  Slipgate - WTF , very polished and full of charm, lost an entire day playing this beauty

I haven't gotten a chance to play Nexuiz or Jailbreak PoW yet, but here's a list of some mods that I've played recently (and by recently, I mean over the span of a few months, because I haven't tried out that many as of late.)

Siege for UT2004 http://siege.c-aces.com/Documentation.html

CTF4 for UT2004 http://ctf4.apartment167.com/index.php
The information on the website is surprisingly sparse, but CTF4 essentially brings back the gold and green team from UT both for CTF and Team Deathmatch.  The mod also features green and gold team skins for every default model present in UT2004, including the Editor's Choice Edition bonus pack models.

Last Man Standing Co-Op for DOOM 3 http://lms.d3files.com/index.php

Projam for Alien Versus Predator 2 http://www.planetavp.com/projam/

Just as a disclaimer to avoid the questions I know I'll get if I don't, I am in no way affiliated with Animal Arena incase anyone checks the credits.  That's someone else entirely.

Recently I've also been playing through Doom 1 using the Doomsday engine

Love the JDRP. The md2 models are quite enjoyable to kill. The lightnings too. The 200mb texture pack is also enjoyable. The problem is that it's a bit heavy to my pc sometimes...(humilliation Slipgate - Distraught  )

And that's that.

Well, I play it with the original sprites and graphics.  I've tried the model packs, and it just doesn't have the same feel as the sprites.  I guess It's just too imprinted on me at this point, but the engine itself is beautiful, especially the additive lighting routines.  Have to tweak them so they're not insane, but it's very pretty.

I tend to play 'shamblers dalek deathmatch' on my lan with my sons. Its basically Q1 with extra levels, the reaperbot, with the model changed to a dalek. None of my own work, just bits put together to allow us to shoot daleks.

(don't nobody ask what a dalek is)

We also play UT99 monster madness. Sometimes with daleks too.
