A news post on Blues News got some info from an attendee of the first Annual Roadmaps to the Future of Cluster Computing conference, saying that one of the announcements was a plan to restructure the Quake code to allow a server to run on a cluster so you can have thousand of players on a single server, without any further details, but hopefully we'll hear some more on this soon.

And in other Quake news, a news post on Q3F.com (thanks Ryan Stotts) indicates a new version of Q3F(ortress) beta 1 is planned for release today, including "tons of new features, commands and fixed bugs" , as well as a new map, q3f_well. You can look at six screenshots of that map here.

Ah, Quake...I'll certainly miss those days. I mean, boring, unbalanced gameplay...slow movement speeds...brown and gray levels EVERYWHERE...what's not to miss?

Long live DOOM II. Here's to hoping that csDOOM can give the DOOM community a truly great client-server model.

Ehh, what's the point of a cluster that can run 128 or 256 + player when even 32 players lags the clients out to shit? Maybe a really good high bandwidth DSL or cable modem connection could do it within reason... Maybe.

I was playing Quake 1 for several hours yesterday for the first time in years.. man that game just has a hardcore edge to it that's missing in both Quake 2 and 3. It took some work to find a good server to play on, but once I did, it was a damn lot of fun. I was even playing the non-accelerated version (due to the GL version being kind of dark, and I was too lazy to run one of those gamma utilities) but it was a blast. LONG LIVE THE BAD PLACE!

we had about 125 players in a game at qcon last year, but the athlon running the game just couldn't take it.. well everybody being on q3dm17 didn't help, but movement was jerky, framerate was eatin it with so many players around.. anyway: Carmack should shoot them the Q3 source so they do this for Q3, not Q1. That would make it more appealing.
