With aguirRe's base I created Engine Limits - Quake Wiki for the plain "numeral" limits.


edit: Heh, you posted while I worked on it. The wiki is pretty hidden sadly, I recently grabbed quakewiki.org to use for it. Just need to get hold of the quakedev.com admin and Sajt (who's account the wiki is on) to make it work.

Looks like Quakedev isn't very active this days. I guess having so many quake related websites doesn't help retrieving useful information.

I've added my engine to the Wiki and I found it very useful ! I can see where I can make improvements and it also gives some tips about issues I'm currently facing. Yet a reference for me.

We could use the same idea on the level editor side to help mappers helping each other.

Thanks a lot for the wiki stuff, if I can help, let me know.

A Quoth coop server is simply impossible.

This is part of the reason why I view all closed source as absolutely moronic.

An example: let's say you pick e1m1rmx. When that map ends it wants to exit to, I'm thinking, e1m2rmx. But there is no such map and a server would crash. You could easily create a few lines of code in the server QuakeC to override, like how RQuake returns to the Intro map or how that Undergate project I made did the same (that wasn't my idea, it was metslime's suggestion way back when I mentioned the idea at func).

Furthermore, how would you vote a map for a mod without such a capability? The answer is you don't.

Closed source makes things that would be mild inconveniences for an open source code (spend 20 minutes, tweak and recompile) into impossibilities.



The awesome Kurok mod has these same liabilities. A Kurok server would kick ass and be fun, but it can never happen as well.

CRMOD's ability to only host 10 custom maps turned it into a dinosaur.

Closed source is just really bad.

(Note to self: I missed the Quore engine in the news).
