Shack Q3Test v1.09 Report

 by Steve Gibson Oct 01, 1999 4:05am CST tags: Q3Test, id Software, Quake 3 Arena
Carried over from yesterday: As I mentioned a couple of days ago I took a trip down to id Software to check out the latest build of Q3Test, I was actually just there to help Carmack tweak the lightning gun but as always I ended up playing a whole lot more. I wrote up my impressions of the latest build and listed off some of the features for you guys. I shared a few more of my opinions than usual in this one, lets see if it pisses any of you guys off eh? Here's a quote from Carmack on the rocketlauncher:

Steve: how many units wide is the rocket splash?
Carmack: 120 units, mesured from the point of impact to the edge of a characters bounding box. It does 100 points damage if it hits directly, scaling linearly down to 0 at the 120 range.

You guys can of course leave your comments here, or (preferably)head over to the Quake3 messageboard which doesnt hurt my server so much so I can hopefully keep the server online for the rest of the evening.
