Brendon Chung (Blendo Games) has released The Doom 3 BFG Edition Starter Kit. Just like his Doom 3 Starter Kit, it's a set minimum assets to run the engine and allow you to start using the engine to create your own games. It's been tested with Robert Beckebans' RBDoom3BFG port. I don't happen to have C++ installed at the moment so I can't test it out, but leave something in the comments how this works for you.
Oneofthe8devils posted a video on Youtube showing off Mars City Security footage to Doom 2 music remixes. Watch an enjoy! Download Mars City Security here.
Oneofthe8devils shows Doom 3 running multiplayer from three OS's at once. He's got a Linux server, Windows and Android clients. Sweet! Hard to imagine that in 2004 when Doom 3 was released the best computers had a hard time running at best settings, not a tablet can run the game multiplayer! You can also do the same with id's previous game thanks to the GPL licenses on their engines.
A strange mix of three at ..::LvL - https://lvlworld.com - sst13 has released a "Matrix" version of Q3DM6. Technically it is very impressive, gameplay is a little annoying. And we have a remake of ztn's Painkiller.
* Time To Kill The Pain by Obsessed
* The Campgrounds - Matrix Edition by sst13
* Desalination by AKUTA
Videos and panoramas for all.
In other news, ..::LvL is now only delivered over HTTPS / SSL / TLS (what ever you want to call it). This is due to the contemporary browsers complaining about the non encrypted HTTP version. All old links will still work, they will simply be redirected to the matching HTTPS version.
QuakeCon 2017 announced the BYOC registration setup for this year. The quick and dirty (details here) is:
March 30 – BYOC UAC VIP tickets ($400, limit 32)
April 6 – BYOC Quakecon Done Quick ($150, limit 300)
April 13 – BYOC Select a seat ($50, no limit stated).
April 24 – General Admission (free)
As usual the last several years, BYOC costs $ while the general admission to the event is free. If you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and think that because you don't have any spare cash so it's not worth going to, the non-BYOC side of the event is amazing. You should still go, it's like a county fair for Quake fans, but free! :) $50 for a BYOC event for a weekend isn't bad either. Right now I just checked and flights for me to Dallas are super-cheap (under $300 round trip, cheaper then the last time I went in 2009!) so hey, if I can come up with several hundred extra buckaroos I might go! :)
The QuakeCon staff also gave an explanation of what and why things are different this year vs last year, so give that a read. You can read that here.
There's a new Quake Champions (the Q3A remake) trailer out, view below:
You can also sign up to participate in the beta over at Quake.com. Also, if you're going to PAX East you can give QC a try at the Bethesda booth.
Quake.com has some information on the players, weapons, and arenas of QC. Not much yet, but from watching video it DOES look like Q3A redone for today (they did good with Doom!). So, here's hoping for all the custom support that Q3A had and a built in version of Excessive Overkill! :)
Now that you see the trailer, you'll want to know about all the neat stuff they've done: they've added hundreds of models for mappers to use, added a introductory mission that showcases some of the new models (also to introduce players to the gameplay), rendering improvements, a new AI unit, cubemap lights (greatly improved over the D3 stock way of doing it), uncapped FPS, and an updated Dark Radiant map editor! :) The Dark Mod is also on Steam Greenlight now.
You can read all the changes over at moddb.com and can find the game on their website.
