Boo! Like I promised:
BlackPope's Bloody Discharge by Black-the poking stick master-Pope

I've added a new list to the side bar, you can view the last four weeks reviews by date so you can see when they were inputted. Makes more sense than the alphabetic list.

It also seems I fixed the invalid variant bug since there are no more appearing on the error list, which is good. Unfortunately the stats page has ground to a halt so I think its time to tidy that up.

Looks like I was a little short on the secrets count in Rpdm7 - Halls of Darkness, I'd found 2 but there are in fact 6!!! Go check out the review to see Shambler and Rotpig (the author of rpdm7) chit chat it out and point them all out for you.

Also had a brain fart earlier, I'm thinking of doing some articles on Quake mapping help and other related stuff. Is anyone interested in contributing stuff to it? I was thinking of general tools links etc and then proper hints on maps and things to look out for.

Ouch, that hurts! ^

Ok so I lied, here are 2 reviews:
The Unholy Outpost by Dean Turner.
Halls Of Darkness by Dean Turner.
The BlackPope decided it was fun to do this to me…

Well a day later for his Pope5 review it is then :P.

Seems The Fribulator found some problems with the formatting on the site. So I fixed it so you
can
now
write
on
separate lines without having to put blank lines in to split things up. A crap method I know, but I didn't think I'd get caught with my pants down on that one :P. Also I'm trying to fix other things on the site since it appears to be falling to bloody pieces. Most are "Invalid variant type/floating point conversion" type bugs that are proving to be a bitch to fix. Please if get an error email me so I can look into it. Thanks.

I noticed some peculiar today, it looks like there has been some hacking about on the domain here, Mickey and Bal tried to get away with this…

A mixed batch of 6 reviews up tonight:
Black Coffee by Drannerz.
Halls of the White Wizard by Tronyn.
hjdm3 catfish by BIGFooT_47.
Kdm1 - Animositania by Kell.
Kdm2 - The Killing Jar by Kell.
Kdm8 - Azuramania by Kell.
I should be putting 3 more reviews up tomorrow evening as well.

Bascule asked in the Suggestions/Comments thread the following:
>>
I don't know if this is the right place to post this (so kick me if it isn't), but I am trying to get Quake to change from one custom level to another whilst playing DM with a fraglimit/timelimit.

Most custom maps seem to revert to Start once the limit is reached, but I want to Changelevel to another custom map. Can I do this in Quake (some config or other), or is it built into each map which map plays next?
<<

I can't remember what to do for that, I know though its just some simple stuff in a .cfg file. If you have any suggestions then please comment here or email Bascule.

Looks like Zeal (who tried to cover his tracks by using my name) likes doing daft comment posts and was stupid enough to leave an email address behind, mailto:[email protected]. If you want to be a dick then f**k off here.

Now the beta testing section I mentioned earlier, well Shambler pointed out that Qmap has a map tracker which works as a beta section which does the job perfectly I reckon, so if you need a place to get comments on a beta, go there.

Couple of things, I updated the Site Links so that its up to date, instead of being a year out of date. And Shambler appears to have found one of fav reviews I've done (it's a favourite simply because I can't believe I was that abusive) of Saving Private Ryan, which is on the Worst Maps list funnily enough.

Oops, I broke it again. ^

Looks like I broke the site last night. Got disconnected as I was uploading the CGI and it wouldn't let me delete what I'd uploaded to try again. Thank you NT! Anyway its all fixed now.

Good Evening ^

No reviews tonight, but I'll be putting some up tomorrow. I have, however, uploaded a copy of Dasdm1 for peoples amusement :). Its listed in the Worst Maps section and the download for it was broken before. Gibfest will love me for that.

I've also added Skorpion's route file for Fried Potatoes and Pineapples to the review I did at the weekend.

Finally I've made a slight change to the site as well. You can now put ' and " in the titles and they will not be parsed out now. Someone at work pointed out a very quick method for letting them through.

...because I reckon the stats I collect are all arsed up. So it'll be interesting to see what it comes out with and compare it.
