Q3 Point Release BETA
by Steve Gibson, Jan 07, 2000 4:45pm PSTPopping this to the top of the page... Hey guys, just found my way home. Not sure where Maarten has gone, things should be returning to normal around here through the weekend though. Looks like I made it home just in time, rumors have been flying around that the Quake3 point release could be released as early as today. In fact I just got this email from Graeme Devine, as well as a list of changes for the patch.
We've decided to make the point release beta, but public, because there's nothing like a few million beta testers! When running servers using this release we highly suggest running them as non-pure servers so that older clients can connect to them without problems. Please read the enclosed FAQ for a detailed list of which bugs and UI features we've addressed with this point release. If all goes well we'll go with a final version of the point release very soon. The Macintosh and Linux builds of the point release BETA will be out hopefully today as well. -Graeme DevineThe file is just over a meg, you can grab it here. Be sure to list off some mirrors in the comments since I'm sure things will get choked up here fairly quickly Here are some mirrors: PlanetQuake , OxygenTank A couple other things you may wish to check out. The Q3FAQ which was included in the patch, the .plan update from Graeme Devine listing off several of the changes, and of course the Quake3 messageboard. Also, I added a few items to 'views' a little while ago.
Harry Potter for Kinect announced
Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta
Anarchy Reigns finished, delayed by Sega anyway
Jet Set Radio making its way to Vita
Diablo 3 patch coming next week

Oh btw, i\'m in a bad mood because i cancelled all my plans to do something with my friends so I could do something with my girlfriend and I fell asleep and she never called back. So fuck it, and she\'s busy the rest of the weekend. skr00d

Holy freaking #$(@! It\'s AMAZING! I highly recommend it to kids of all ages and sexual orientations (you know who you are). Should be nominated for the Webbie Awards or something. Right on!

I think you would have a hard time, to find something new, which has never been seen on a page before. Its all about to make it better.
Btw, i dont know if his site sux, havent been there.
boogieman, your site sux.
it\'s programmed terrible, has no qualities or values.
and, the most important thing, it has nothing, what another webpage does not already have...
and that\'s what makes a webpage.
wow, intelligent words outta my mouth.
ok now, gd, let\'s get some porn in here!

Anything else, master? You\'re usual hand-job with the occasional tongue action? Lubed? Would you like me to spit or swallow your spewage after you get off?
#197 - *sigh* Since you asked, go to my site. Go to the beginning page of these posts and you\'ll find it. If I post it I\'m sure I\'ll get more flamage.

Real point release either later today or this weekend.
\"Boogieman, you\'re site at _____________ sucks more ass than a tick strangded on a dog\'s butt.\" <--- that\'s fine.
\"Boogieman, you\'re at ___________ site is OK.\" <---- that\'s fine
\"Boogieman, I liked your site very much and plan on going there several more times.\" <--- probably will never really be said, but that\'s OK too.

Have you ever tried to get people at a LAN party, some of whom are not the biggest quake fans, to install a) a beta point release on top of their copies of quake 3, b) a patch to bring that beta point release up to the final point release, and possibly even c) a patch to correct bugs in the post-beta-final point-release?
Since most likely the beta point release and the final point release will not be compatible, trying to get a version of quake 3 up and running could soon get to be as challenging as half-life (\"Hey, what version do you have? I have 1.0.0.3\" - \"I have 1.0.1.0, but I think the server is running 1.0.1.3\" - \"Ahh fuck it, I want to play Diablo\")
Or how about an auto-update function in the game? Like a tiny button that\'ll pop up on the main menu when there\'s a new version available? Not forcing anyone to upgrade, but letting them know that the option is there.
Please id, keep it simple.
And if it fuckin\' matters to anyone, I\'ve apologized on my site.
But don\'t go there if you don\'t think I, or the other webmaster there (who deserves none of this bad association that\'s going along with it all) deserve the *gasp* $0.03 that we get (and split) from you visiting, then don\'t go.
I think you all know the URL now, *laff*
Boogieman
In response to your question, there are many reasons as to why I posted that. Some of the reasons I am unable to express in words. You see, it is all very complicated.
1) I was mocking those that posted your URL, in a friendly manner.
2) I was trying to invoke annoyance in you, since you didn\'t want people posting your URL.
3) I wanted to annoy those that were annoyed by the continual posting of your URL.
4) To evoke the appearance of \"street talk\", or ebonics, which some people find amusing.
5) To amuse myself.

ROFL
I should read over what I type.
Boogieman
<--- Notice no URL to annoy you all now...
If you were trying to imitate me, you\'re waaay off. And if you\'re making fun of the morons who are amused by posting a link to my page (which can only help me), then, well...
(A) Don\'t stoop to their intellectual level.
...or...
(B) Keep going. You\'re choice. :)
And before you people start putting words into my mouth by saying that I think just because you don\'t like my site, you\'re intellectually lower than me, that\'s wrong. If you\'re constantly posting the URL which everyone has probably been to by now, that\'s lower than I\'d go (intellectually of course, spamming is pretty low :] ).

I wasn\'t smart enough to read the FAQ first :) ...
New scoreboard. Minor positional adjustments to default score board when clients hits more than seven, the scoreboard goes into compressed mode and interleaves the players head models/icons.
Tried it myself with more than seven bots. I can see every player, though I still say it sucks! ;)
