For old times sake? I know that many of the oldtimers only look at this board a few times a year, so I'm giving LOTS of notice here. November 30 is the last day on what would be a 4 day Thanksgiving holiday weekend for most of us. For the moment, lets aim for 3PM PST / 6 PM EST. Post here if you're interested. Send me a PM with your email addy if you want a reminder beforehand. Also, what game? Q2 or Q3? (We could always go archaic and play GlQuakeWorld.) Mods? (QPong, Lithium, etc). Anyone interested in using a chat app like Ventrilo, or would you prefer to stick to oldschool text chatting? I've tried to play a few times over the past several years but can't find a decent server anymore. Playing with you guys would be a blast. Hell, maybe we could make it an annual event [ 10-08-2008: Message edited by: Drako ] --------------------

So Quadz (the tastyspleen admin) is letting me run a private server for our game. I'll pick a port number and set a password for us the Saturday prior to the game, and post the info here. Some questions we need to vote on:What mod? baseq2, lithium, etc.. What levels? q2dmX, ztn, maybe Retinal's maps? Anything else? Weapons stay, etc? By the way, the server will be running R1Q2. You may want to consider installing the R1Q2 client, as it's generally regarded as the best one out there (at least on Windows). -------------------- http://quake2world.net

Some of us Linux weirdos wouldn't be able to partake in UT3, but whatevs As long as the main event is an hour or two of Quake2, I'm happy.Drako, R1Q2 fixes a lot of security holes and potential crashes in Quake2. It also offers an updated network protocol that saves some bandwidth. And lastly, it has some nice features like FSAA, Anisotropic filtering, support for custom resolutions, decoupled video and network frame rates that allow you to run at 300fps without flooding the server, and a scalable HUD. You'll be surprised how tiny Q2's HUD is on today's typical resolutions like 1280x1024, 1680x1050, etc. I propose we do like an hour of vanilla baseq2, and then an hour of Lithium. I have a lot of fun with the hook as well, but it also feels impure on some of the original maps :> We can also toggle weapons stay based on how many people are in. If only 4 of us show up, weapons stay is entirely optional. If we get 8 people on q2dm1, I'd vote for turning it on -------------------- http://quake2world.net
