Hey, nice to see you here, PerPixel! I spotted your project a while ago on Ziggyware, but after the response I got last time I mentioned XNA here, I decided to stay quiet.

Now there's two of us that think XNA rocks!

Nightmare for me too, although I don't play very often at the moment - too many other games right now!

The whole website thing kinda got put on hold when I got my copy of Crackdown a few days ago... The good news is, however, that I'm not at work next week! I'll have plenty of time to kick bad guys off buildings and get some coding done while I'm at it.

Thanks for all your kind words!

Yeah, I think Urre's right about plugins. I'm not a huge fan of them myself and often, on the rare occasions that I do use one, it's to get access to functionality that really should have been in the program in the first place.

Dr. Shadowborg is most likely right

Well, he is a doctor. He knows science.

Cool looking mod! Are you going to be making a rising lava level?

Yeah, sort of. My dev machine's broken and I'm a bit stuck! If I don't get it up and running in the next few days, I'm going to try moving to a different machine. The QC stuff is easy enough, but the new manual's written in .html, driven by php and MySQL, which aren't the easiest things in the world...

I wish for new monsters, so I can yoink them for Panzer! In fact, I want to see more mini-mods all round and, if possible, I want to contribute some of them.

Ports can be cool sometimes - maybe the original game had poor netcode, too many bugs or just not a large enough userbase. Also, sometimes, you just can't help but feel that you can make something better than the original. Anyway, more on topic, I'm working with XNA at the moment and, once I get my ...

From a functional perspective, it's hard to beat the rocket launcher. From a aesthetic view, I love the deep, booming noise of the super nailgun!

It's a tough call between the two, but I'll have to cast my vote to the rockets - we aren't often treated to weapons of such caliber in 'modern' FPS games.

Yeah, I agree with Venomus - keep the 320x200 for the older machines, and for the classic Quake look!

For GL, however, I'd probably say 640x480 is the minimum.

Very soon, I hope!

If it's going to change, you could just deduct one from the counter when an entity's removed. A little more book-keeping, I know, but it shouldn't be too tricky most of the time.

It's probably best that you wait for me to release version 2.1. I've made a lot of fixes to it, so you'll have a much easier time getting it to work.

I don't know exactly, but by general programming methods entities would be spawned sequentially based on the order in which they are listed in the map file. So, doing a check during the spawning sequence wouldn't be a good idea, since it'd be very likely to miscount. Basically, exactly what you were...
