You could have bought the Linux version and downloaded the Win32 binaries which are in the Point Release.
I bought the Win32 version and am running a Q3A server on Linux using the Linux binaries which are available (both client and server) for download in the Linux point release.
Well, if it was an isolated incident I wouldn't mind so much, but over the past few months some just plain incorrect stories have been posted, most of which could have prevented if the poster actually loaded and read whatever article the story was about or linked to.
Loki didnt really do much at all. They are the Linux distributor, they are not in charge of the Linux port. Zoid is who was in charge of the Linux version and coding CTF.
id is a small privately held company that has never done anything but good for us. They don't have a marketing exec. I WANT everyone to know what video card I have (NVIDIA TNT).
I remember when I first saw that auto-updating motd in the first q3test that some people might think it a problem that it contacts a remote server every time you started the game. But I trust id.
Check out the start page I made for myself. I keep it up-to-date and have gotten some good compliments on it. The tools are the best part of it. I use them often.
You are incorrect, the reload time for the railgun is exactly the same as in quake2.
And if you dont like the way it looks you can change it:
set r_railWidth "16" set r_railCoreWidth "6" set r_railSegmentLength "32"
Those are new defaults. Personally, i like to get rid of the segments all together. Set it to 1000 and check it out. Also try making the beam really thin.
I remember downloading this 3 years ago. It was pretty cool then. And, yes, it did have a web server in it then. I remember writing down my ip address and then going to a lab and loading a page off my dial-up.
NT 4 has DirectX 3 only. Which isn't much. No direct sound support, which makes it suck as a gaming platform. I doubt NT4 will ever a newer version of DirectX.
Win 2000 has a beta of DirectX 7 in it. I tried to run Half-Life using Direct3D under win2k and got 1 frame a sec. And I could not get get the Unreal Tournament demo to to run fullscreen using Direct3D.
Using OpenGL in win2k, i could get all of these games to run perfectly: Quake, Quake2, Q3test, Half-Life. Epic needs to work on the OpenGL support in UT. This is all on a TNT.
"Chlorine from natural sources is soluble, and so it gets rained out of the lower atmosphere," the journal Science explained (6/11/93). "CFCs, in contrast, are insoluble and inert and thus make it to the stratosphere to release their chlorine."
Science also noted that chlorine found in the stratosphere-- where it can eat away at Earth's protective ozone layer--is always found with other byproducts of CFCs, and not with the byproducts of natural chlorine sources.

Why THE FUCK does the story link have a target of _blank?

2 : to select or adapt for publication : EDIT
In other words: Censor.

Please update the story on the main page.
The Uptimes project has moved to http://www.uptimes.net/
Also the protocol has changed, so everyone going to http://uptime.hexon.cx/ will be downloading and running old clients.
Come on, Slashdot people, research a story for 5 seconds before you post it.

I agree. I first read the article and was appalled.

> If it is evil for Intel and Microsoft, why is it okay for id?
hmm, cause id loves us and would never do us harm?

Half-Life is a pretty cartoony game compared to many others. I have no problem with a 16 or 17 year old playing it.

For the latest news and 3 cool servers: http://www.netdoor.com/quake3/index.html
He has said that they have not decided but are just focusing on Quake3 for now. But many around the office want to do Doom 2000 he said at QuakeCon.

Too bad it doesn't support CSS.

I do not think his post was off-topic. And even if it was, there are many posts that are a lot more off-topic than his. Why don't you go bother them.
Q3A does support DirectX, just not Direct3D. Q3A will use DirectDraw and DirectSound if available, and other parts of DirectX also.
There are many API's in DirectX, some good, some bad.
