Anmerkung 2016

Godzilla, das kleine schnucklige Monster kennt wohl jeder von euch…. nun könnt ihr gegen ihn oder einen seiner Kameraden antreten.

Der Mod Destroy All Monsters gibt euch diese Chance in vier Levels gegen Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, Mechagodzilla II und wie sie alle heissen, einen kleinen Kampf zu wagen. Das Spielprinzip des Mods habe ich zwar noch nicht verstanden, aber die Models sind mehr als gut gelungen. Mit der passenden Musik und dem passenden Sound wird zusätzlich eine grossartige Atmosphäre erzeugt. Zwischen den Levels werden euch Sequenzen aus den original Filmen gezeigt. Man kann schon auf die weiteren Teile des Destroy All Monsters Mods gespannt sein. Download : destroy.exe (21.7 MB)

UK Gamer hat ein kleines, kurzes Interview mit Robert Duffy von id Software geführt. Es geht dort um die Pro Game Maps und welche neuen Funktionen im neuen Point Release zu finden sind (der Text ist sehr kurz….;-) ).

Das stimmt uns doch freundlich, was uns Robert Duffy in seinem .plan schreibt.
Er kündigt darin an, dass nächste Woche voraussichtlich das neue Point Release herauskommt…

We will be releasing a point release beta early next week. This one has taken some time but it addresses quite a few things. Graeme has been very busy with the network stuff and net traffic is now being compressed at about 4:1, this should make a huge difference for modem players. There should be a substantial FPS boost for most people and there are a bunch of fixes/tweaks in place. This release will also contain an auto update system so you can check for new updates at any time. If you get the beta, the final will be offered via the auto update. This addresses all of the cheats and hacks we know about as well. That is an ongoing battle. This point release will utilize a different protocol as a result of the new network compression.

At the same time, I will finally get the UI stuff release for mod teams. This will allow mod teams to distribute Team Arena style menus/scripts for Quake 3 only mods without violating the EULA.

There are some really nice looking mods going on right now, Urban Terror, Q3F, WFA, Annihilation, Navy Seals are all looking really good. Quake The Movie is also looking really really good, the guys at Tritin were kind enough to send us the first 13 or so minutes and it is amazing stuff. Overall the source changes mod teams will need to integrate are quite small.

Work progresses well on Q3A/TA, Wolf and DOOM.
