Quake3 & Carmack

by Steve Gibson Jul 30, 1999 5:37am CST tags: John Carmack, Quake 3 Arena, E3
Well, havent done this in a while so I figured we can give this new comment system a shot. What do you guys think are the biggest changes / improvements that need to be made to Quake3? It's a pretty simple question but it leaves a lot of room there for anything. I've listed off my own personal beefs with the current code and I'm pretty curious what you guys think as well. You can just post them here or as always head over to that incredibly busy Quake3 messageboard. While on the topic I traded some email with John Carmack a couple of days ago and he addressed the following questions of mine (I'll paraphrase)

Q: Mouse cursor missing in windowed mode, cant move my Quake3 around?
Carmack: Oops, fixed
Q: Timedemo sometimes capping at 100fps?
Carmack: Don't think so but will investigate.
Q: Teamplay match player spawns with too much machingun ammo?
Carmack: Will discuss it with the guys.
Q: Annoying to pick up a rocket and ammo next to each other and have either 11 or 15 rockets depending on order they are picked up.
Carmack: That won't be changed.
