Oh, indeed: Marcher! How could I forget it?? TargetQuake, too. Should have taken a moment longer to think about it.
Airquake was also very cool - I even had an email discussion with Fingers about it since I considered making a map for it. But in the end, I played QRally more (and even LAN). Quess ...

Wow, that's a tough one. There've been so many great mods and maps... Some quick picks from the top of my head - things that seemed extraordinary for one reason or another, unique, orginal, etc (in no particular order).

Mods: The Ascension of Vigil, Prydon Gate, Fantasy Quake, Quake Rally, Painkeep ...

I would recommend against colored lights, at least for the street lamps. It would make them even darker; not to mention more complicated to get it right (subtlety AND brightness). I think zombie-infested British towns do have white lamps. Only larger cities have those yellow ones. But those don't ...

You could leave it open for the time being so everyone here could see how the booths look and test if everything works. Then close/delete them until the event starts, or rather one or two weeks before.

Perhaps something like "community event".

Three thoughts:

You should lower the wall in 5./8. by units. It looks silly if the bricks are cut off like that.

What is the "gate" exactly? Does it serve a special purpose, some story element? Because it feels a bit out of place - deep-quake runic stuff in a realism environment. If it's supposed ...

Try running it with -gate 1. This should speed up the process considerably without any visible differences in the result. That is, if the long processing time is not caused by some hw/sw issue in your case.

Ah, good job.

I would have prefered qexpo in the url instead of just expo, but that's no big deal. The logo image is nice; maybe spice up the text a little (Quake font?).

As for the links, Func_Msgboard should be properly capitalized, because that's how it's done on the site and it also looks more ...

Heh, nice idea. Can't hurt to have another entry in the 'Quake goes Sports' category. With a Quake dodgeball mod, the "bombardment" scene from Simpsons comes to mind. Though wouldn't it be more like Quake if it were played with a player (or monster) head instead of a regular ball?

Good work on the engine!

But damnit, that website is horrible. Stevenaaus, like I said before, not everyone has a TFT screen. The site (text, logo) needs to be brighter! There's hardly any contrast between text and background which makes it a pain to read. Besides the fact that the menu/subpage ...

Reverse psychology

Yes. Ideally, it's a massive circlejerk of Quake fanboyism; a desperate cry for attention against the backdrop of almost completely waned interest in these outdated and medicore games, and niche communities that are at best ignorant of one another. A week where devs can pretend time hasn't moved on ...

So in other words it isn't going to happen as nobody really cares...

Spirit's key to success: outsourcing.

What about the Quest tools? Or did the QF ones took the code from them?

ajay: Perhaps it's the way your mod works (horror, careful exploration and all), but everything you showed looked too dark in my view. Pitch black rooms are probably more frustrating than atmospheric when having to fight monsters. A few subtle (low level or short fade distance) lights, possibly some ...
