Fun Names to be included in Quake3
John Cash has announced in his .plan that fun names will be included in Quake 3!! Read about it:
Quake3
---------
Working converting everything over for the new fixed
virtual reolustion console that John mentioned. The
font is now a code page 850 like set so those of you
who don't happen to have English as your native language
will have all the letters in your alphabet available.
As before, some of the extra slots are being used for
graphics parts. There characters *are* available for
use in your name. The font was bumped up in size from
8x8 to 16x16, although the rendered resolution may be
different because of the virtual console size. The
font itself is just white now. Colored text is being
done a different way now. Some places we will force
the text to be draw in a single, fixed color. Others
it will start out white, but can be changed mid-string.
That includes your name! Yes, the return of the fun
name... with a vengeance! If anoyone would start a
petition if I disabled animated names, please tell me
now. They are a bad waste of bandwidth and right now
I plan to stop that with "no name spamming" code.

If you want to get a hold of me send mail to concorde@compmore.net and I will try to reply A.S.A.P. Thanks again to Mr.Baldy for letting me help out with this page
Mr. Baldy
ServObit v1.4
ServObit is a mod which changes the death messages, according to gender of killer and victim, state of victim's body, weapon used, what environment, and if Quad damage was used...If you want death messages to sound the way they were meant to be, get this mod.
Mr. Baldy
Q2Comp Mod
A new mod that hopes to bring more competition to Quake2ers with features like banning weapons and powerups, changing levels by vote, electing ADMIN people...demoting ADMIN people, cheat protection, observer mode, IP banning, Standard logging. So far, only some of these features have been implemented, but more are soon to be...Check it out in the mods section.

A bunch of new and cool features have been added to this cool mod:

- startup weapons
- startup items
- map rotation with multiple map lists
- configurable message of the day
- an alternative grappling hook (the hand-held ctf garpple)
- anti-gravity belt

from time to time.
- tons of minor bugfixes and additional small features.
Check it out in the weapons mods section.
Mr. Baldy
Eraser v.92
A new version of the very popular Eraserbot. Here's what I picked up from their page:
Hi folks, spent a few hours fixing some really nasty AI bugs (mostly CTF related), so I thought I'd pop in for an update, since the next week or so will be very hectic for me. The main changes are fixes to the CTF AI, including the respawning system, which was broken some time back (I still can't figure out what Zoid's respawn code does), which have resulted in maps like Q2CTF1 playing MUCH better.
Head on over toward the bots section.
Mr. Baldy
Battle of the Sexes v2.9.3
More slight features, but features more the less:
1) Improvements made to decrease lag
New Features
------------
2) Additions made to support LagDaddy's new and improved BotS CTF #2
3) Another new map released by Shadrach called Hezekiah's Attic
Hmmm....to the class mods Bubba!

Page Work
10:50PM Taiwan time:
I am starting with the least active sections, and working my way up. I have finished pictures and work on the demos section, and it is currently viewable. There are no demos currently flowing in the Quake 2 community however. More updates as the time comes.
11:56PM Taiwan time:
I just finished the textures section, but I am pretty tired. I'm heading to sleep till tomorrow, when hopefully I will get more work done, and work faster.

He can be reached at concorde@compmore.net, so send him a line.

ServerConfigMod v2.1
I thought the final was released. I guess not. A major bug has been fixed to not allow spectators to drop inventory items for the pleasure of the person being chased...Get the fix in the mods section.

Beep! Beep! Facelift!
Today, the Quake 2 File House has recieved a major facelift, which includes two main points. The first is the left frame. As you can probably tell, the left frame has changes drastically, and I hope, for the better. It seems easier to use to myself, and some of my friends. Also, I have finished one section of the new download sections design. It is quite a lot different, but much better. Each file has its own page with the name, author, e-mail address, homepage, date, filename, multiple locations, size, description, and comments. There are remarks that I and other people fell about the mod, by mailing me and telling me what you think. Also, I will put links to articles and editorials I see directed toward that mod, bot, skin, whatever. the section completed was the sounds section. I am still in need of a page update helper, and I need to get a new, and cool design for the news section. Right now, it is pretty poor, and I want people to help by sending in designs with HTML documents and such in ZIPPED format for me to take a look at and base my new design from. Thanks. ONE MORE THING TO REMEMBER:::THE LEFT FRAME IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH RESOLUTIONS 1024X768 ONLY OR HIGHER. --OUT Mr. Baldy

Work Being Done and UPDATOR WANTED!
I need something to spruce up this page, so I decided to work on a new design for the downloads sections. It will be completely new, with a lot of new features and changes. Some include: date entered, mod name, filename, mirror sites, description, mod author, webpage, author e-mail, and whatever else you want on there. It will take a long time, and I will update every time I get a new sectoin up and running...Also, I will TRY to put links to articles for the mods, and create a howto section for all the running mods, bots, models, skins, maps, and everything else...I am looking far and wide for someone to help me do this...I need someone to help update this page while I work on the rest of the page. QUALIFICATIONS: HTML experience, and whatever else. That is mainly it. -OUT Mr. Baldy
BotJohnny v1.0
For this BRITISH (that's important) Eraser frontend, all the new features fresh from your local supermarket:
As promised, version 1.0 (beta) is now available for download! Hooray! There are some major improvements in this release including the ability to completely customise how the command-line and launcher.cfg files are created. Also, choosing your CTF team now works, plus the CTF editor has been improved quite a lot. You can hear all sounds for a particular model and also see their skins (although this requires having an external program that can display PCX files at the moment). Millions of bug fixes and other little bits and pieces.
Head over yonder to the frontends corral to lasso yerself a copy.
Quasar Mod
A little work needs to be done with the site, but I found some info in the .TXT file that came with the mod:
This Teamplay mod puts you into an arena where you have 2 bases one for each team and 2 nergizers one for each team. When you start you have 3 lives if you lose all 3 you can't fire anymore and need to renergize. Then you run to your energizer and push it you will then get back your 3 lives and you can then shoot again. Now everytime you shoot a player you get 5 points for
you and 1 for your team. Everytime you shoot the other teams base you get 25 for you and 5 for your team. It costs 30 points to renergize so it's possible to end up with a negative score at the end. The Match should either last 20 minutes or 1 hour depending on the server. The bases are near walls for each color base and are in the air. Everytime you shoot one you can't shoot it for 10 seconds. If you kill 5 people without getting killed yourself you get a mode called SuperCharge where you can fire rapidly until you get killed.
Kind of like lasertag, or laserstorm for Quake 2...sounds pretty cool...this one can be found in the mods section.
Weapons Factory v1.07
For the newest release, player classes have been added, but the release is for only some servers, which will have 1.07 in the name...Get the mod in the weapons mods section.
Lithium v.98
Well, v.97, and v.97a have been released today...Why not another! After a long day for the programmers, Lithium Mod v.98 has been released. The changes were two major bugs were fixed and some smaller ones also...I think you know where to find this.
HotLaunch v1.6b
For the new version, here's what was changed:
That was the first release, which required this to be done:
NOTE: Delete your old c:\hotlaunch.ini before running this version!!!! You can do this by typing "deltree c:\hotlaunch" from a command prompt.
After that version was released, a problem was found about it not letting it find external maps and bots, so the newest version 1.6.2 was released....You can find it in the frontends section.
