Quake 2 Player Models
Modelers: You can get the qME 3.1 preview (lite version and patch for reg'd version) at NAWC the new version supports Quake 2 models, but back up your qME 3.0 mdls because qME 3.1 has it's own unique model format.
THE SWORD OF ARES version
10 is done. If you've been waiting for a "better
version" this is it! There are a couple of undocumented
features like flags you set with the "registered"
console variable:
"registered 1" - normal rules
"registered 3" - dead robots are not solid
"registered 5" - damage does not send robots flying
upward
"registered 7" - combined effec of "regisered
3" and "regisered 5"
FREE MODELS PROJECT - new Wanted Model - a Judge Dredd player model for Quake 2

Anyone interested in working on a demo made with Quake 2 of a game similar to Square's Final Fantasy games should check out this page and e-mail me.
Quake 2 Modeler is a new program for editing Quake 2 models that looks very promising so far.
QMET - the great DOS program for making great animated Quake gifs, is now available for real.
FREE MODELS PROJECT - Wanted Models:
SQUAWK - a colorized sketch of 3 races (from left to right - manticore, harpy, and hobgoblin)
HORSIN' AROUND - Look Ma, I are a Java programmer. Click on the image below to view the applet. Witness my sad triangle
sorting algorithm!
FREE MODELS PROJECT - New wanted model: an escutcheon (heraldic sheild)
TODAY'S TIP - Don't trust your map editor. Whenever you use polyhedron (brush) subtraction, or rotation you become a potential victim of one of computing's biggest problems - round-off error, not to mention the occasional invalid brush. So if your map has freaky problems you can't fix, check out those areas with funky angles first.

SQUAWK - Some of the RPG rules have been tweaked. We are thinking about throwing backgrounds out the window and changing racial backgrounds into just races.
HORSIN' AROUND - Here's a colorized sketch by Ulrich
"Zancrus" Galbraith
TODAY'S TIP - 15%, same as yesterday (yuk yuk)

colorizing my sketches:
TODAY'S TIP - Model first, then animate! When you add new parts to an animated model those parts won't be magically animated for you. being able to separate animation data from the model itself - as you can do with later versions of qME - is very helpful in this regard.
KEEPING IN TOUCH - I'm still open to suggestions about mailing lists and message boards. Cool List is free and easy to use but also very slow. Also if you have gotten involved in the FMP or TSoA in the last few months, you may want to be added to the LINKS page, so let me know if you do.
THE SWORD OF ARES - We need servers running this Quake TC! Any volunteers would be appreciated.
FREE MODELS PROJECT - I split the page into 2 sections - models and help - then I added my own extension of the Wanted Models Page (since the old one hasn't been updated recently) If you have placed requests for models in the past, I have probably lost them, so feel free to sent them to me again.
