CR Bot v.99
Here are some notes from the news page: Not many new features are in v0.99, it's more like bugfix for v0.97. Hopefully, I fixed problem with bots getting stuck under water and in lava. New things: bots will try to avoid rockets and blaster/hyperblaster projectiles (the higher skill level, the better they suppose to avoid it). New var "bot_chat" for turning on/off kill/pain/death messages from bots. Couple of tweaks in shooting accuracy and decision code. Jumping and lava avoidance code still needs work...Check it out in the bots section.

WorldCraft Editing Utility Q2 patch
If you have the editing utility WorldCraft from www.worldcraft.com, then here is the Quake 2 patch for it...Some people must really want it...Check it out in the editing section.

Quake 2 Expert DM
The Quake 2 Version of Expert DM has been released. Here's some info. Expert Quake2 is the product of extended design focusing on game depth and playability. Through many means, including balance and lowered lethality, simple-minded tactics such as camping and ambushing are eliminated in Expert because they are ineffective, and reflexes and ping have a reduced role in the game. Only through great skill and teamwork can players excel at Expert...Check it out in the mods section.

Loki Minion's CTF v1.3
Here are some of the new features:

• Optimized code to allow approximately 50% more players for the same CPU usage
• 4 Strogg Artifacts of technology (runes) added: Haste, Damage, Resist, and Regen
• Ability to disable any or all of the runes individually
• Optional offhand grappling hook (aka Expert hook)
• customizable server features such as "Allow Invulnerability", "Used Balanced Weapons", "Automatically re-pick teams each level", and "Disable team switching"
• New effects, such as an optional "Star Wars" style laser blaster with team-colored lasers.
• Ability to drop artifacts or flag, allowing you to do a team "hand-off"
• rock-solid stability

C.R. Bot v.98
The C.R.Bot has reached v0.98, with some really nice changes. "Mainly I was focusing on improving bot's jumping ability and on tweaking how bot decides to use certain weapon based on circumstances." It also includes a new menu system, a new skill level (0), the ability for dedicated servers to disallow the creation of bots from a client machine (for Internet C.R.Bot servers), and the ability to display stats about all the bots in the game...Check it out in the bots section.

StudioMDx
A .MDL and .MD2 editor that's based on the MedDLe source code (for those that joined the QuakeMunity after MedDLe was dead, it was one of the first, and best, .MDL editors out there). StudioMDx can edit and save as both formats, and can also convert between the two formats (open as .MDL (Quake), save as .MD2 (Quake 2), and vice versa)...Check it out in the editing section.

DM Reviews Section Updates
Nevermind the prior message...I got the DM Reviews section set up by Rate, but not yet Name. I am going to have section on the main page of the DM Reviews section for how to install and use them.

DM Reviews Section
I got the DM Reviews section up and running, and also the Reviews section...I have only done the maps I rated 10, 9, and 8, but expect more today. Also, instead of having the news ticker at the bottom of the left frame, I decided to just remove it as I don't really need it anyway.

New LavaBall Map
Icelandic Icebowl, a new map for LavaBall This is a large map, which is basically an inverted bowl of ice with a lava ceiling.

If you hit them at just the right angle, they will fly up the side of the bowl and into the lava ceiling...pretty neat!...Check it out in the mods section.

Site Updating
I gave my site a new boost today by creating new pictures for it including the picture at the top and the picture in the top of the left frame...They aren't great, so if you can do better, please tell me (but ask first before sending pictures...please, unless smaller than 10kb) Also, LinkExchange had to go. It took too long of a time to load, and it was worthless. There are too many people using it for it to be effective. Also, I have changed just about the whole left frame. But, none of the REVIEWS links work yet. Also, the news ticker is still there, just at the bottom.

Battle of the Sexes v2.0
Here are the eight new features:

1. Player map voting is now possible. The map list is driven by a file called "vote.lst" which lists the actual map name along with a description to display. Players can then vote on a new map and once all players have voted, the new map is loaded. To vote on a map type 'vote' in the console or bind it to a key.
   
2. Player glows with color of key when carrying key.
   
3. If a team gets 3 captures in a row, then all enemy teams get a Quad Rally! Basically, each member of the enemy teams gets quad damage. This gives them a chance to come back after getting their butt kicked.
   
4. If Kamikazee has 31+ grenades, a suicide will trigger an Apocalypse that will destroy everything in sight! All targets have to be visible, if you cannot see the kamikazee you are safe from the Apocalypse.
   
5. Keys show up properly in inventory as "Blue Team Key", "Red Team Key" or "Green Team Key". You can also drop a key you are carrying.
   
6. Added "dropkey" alias to drop whatever key you are holding.
   
7. Every thirty seconds a help message is displayed if help is turned on.
   
8. Added "helpon" and "helpoff" aliases to allow the user to turn help messages on and off.
