Important Note
|
|
|
|
Please note that updates before the year 2000 are from the old
MultiPlayer Quake
site and have been entered on the site purely for entertainment value.
They've been put in exactly as they were on the old site
(except for screen shots) so any listed site links are probably wrong
and some of the colours will look plain awful. You have been warned :)

We have a Quake
2 reviewer! Its Monsto Brukes, hes the head bloke for the HeadHunters
mod. For the moment can people hold off sending Quake 2 maps in. Wait until
this weekend then flood him =).
Jakob (Xori)
hasn't disappeared, hes gone into Quake 2 mapping and his site will be
hosted here. Should appear soon.
Half-Life has
invaded my hard disk. I recommend you go buy it now. Its been along while
since I played a game that actually has an atmosphere.
Some more links
on the links page, thanks go to Martin Kilcoyne.
Also have a look at his site.
If you want a link on here please read this.

Some bad news
first. Jakob (aka Xori) has left MPQ. Thanks for all your hard work and
I wish you good luck in whatever you do next.
Ok, heres some
Quake reviews, eventually! Instead of 6 you're
being treated to 8! You'll see a box at the top of the page, this is to
quickly give you the map scores, to read the review simply click on the
map name. Also you'll notice an arrow on the right side of a review, clicking
on it will take you back to the Quick Review box.
Two more Featured
Author interviews are up so go take a peek.
About the email
I said I'd lost. Well if anyone send email to me between Sunday (22nd)
and this Wednesday (25th) can you please re-send it to me.
I've lost it and it included people applying for the Quake 2 reviewer postion!
One thing I
have to mention is that Headshot
has released a new map this week called "Dead
Bodies Everywhere" (211Kb). I recommend everyone downloads it now!
Various site thing
fixed like images load up properly, the spelling mistake on the index page
(Kable!), site links loading up correctly and other little things. Some
more links on Links page have been added. Again
please keep them coming, they can be about anything thats Quake related.
Talking of
links I got one to a Spanish Quake 2 site. Its the Liga
Profesional de Quake2. Its for a Professional Spanish Quake 2 League.
The site is all in Spanish so don't blame me if you can't read it!
On Thursday
I mentioned QuArK. Well version 5.2 has been released so pop over to the
QuArK homepage to go get
it!

DOH!!! I've had
a system crash earlier today and have lost a load of stuff on my primary
HD. That includes this weeks reviews, dammit! Also lost some emails from
earlier on in the week, some to do with people applying for the Quake2
reviewer position. I apologise for not getting back to you all, I'll do
that this weekend! I promise!
Thanks for
all the positive comments on the site. Also I submitted some news to the
news desk on PlanetQuake and heres what appeared:

overhaul and interviews - by Gestalt |
| MPQ
has had a major redesign, a massive improvement on the old look. They've
also opened a new feature called "Featured Author", which interviews a
well-known deathmatch mapper each week, and to kick things off they've
got three interviews for you - Sten "ztn" Uusvali, Paul "peej" James, and
Stuart "Copy" Cam. Well worth a look... |
One thing I forgot
to mention last weekend was Quake Army Knife, QuArK.
When I do get some time to do some editing, this is my preferred editor.
Its now at version 5.1b and a superb piece of programming, and its made
partly in my favourite language Delphi. Anyway, I recommend it.

Welcome to the
new look MultiPlayer Quake! Big thanks to my brother Kable for creating
this cool new look! Any comments just send them his
way.
This weeks
Quake reviews aren't up yet. They'll appear in the next few days. Sorry!
We still need
a Quake 2 reviewer, for details see the Quake2
page.
For those of
you that use both Netscape and Internet Explorer you may notice the site
looks different in each. The reason is simply that IE can have fancy effects
like floating frames, underlines which appear when the mouse goes over
them, that kind of thing. When you come to site a little Javascript works
out what browser you have and points you in the right direction.
For those that
are interested heres the Netscape
page and the Internet Explorer
page.
Two more Featured
Author articles are up. Ztn and Copy.
Also I have done up Peej's with pictures
of his maps.
The old reviews
page has been updated for the last two months, forgot about that!
Thank you to
Morgan V for the links to level editors. Also thanks to Neal White III
for the link to Wally, a texture Editor for Quake.
Heres a mention
for a server worth visiting. They put up some of the maps that get reviewed
here. There are two servers which are run by [ac]Capt.TriPPz. The addresses
for the Anticlan servers are 207.49.51.98:27500 and 209.49.241.90:27910.
