Mushroom Blue Entertainment is proud to annouce there newest Quake 2 TC, Area 51. This project is looking for help in all aspects of quake 2 editing, contact Sean at insane_soul@hotmail.com for information.

SteQve, creator of the ServObit mod which generates Quake 1 style death messages for Quake 2, has found a Big Freakin' Bug (BFB) that may apply to other Death Message mods as well, since all Death Message mods must effectively manipulate the same internal data structures. This bug crashes the Quake 2 server.

The bug is triggered when two players kill each other at the same time; a death message is printed for one person, then the server crashes. This is the symptom of ServObit, and is likely the symptom of other affected Death Message mods. It is likely that not all death message mods are affected by this bug.

Details can be found at http://www.shore.net/~steqve/bfb.html. SteQve would like to hear from other Death Message modders as well as server operators who have experienced this type of problem.

Hi guys, it's Paubo, maintainer of some of the quake2.com game info sections. Please post a news update and tell everyone that the items page is done, with all of the stuff from the full version of Quake 2 included.

I am working very hard right now to finish up the monsters and weapons pages, I have all the numbers, and I just need to get some more pictures and make everything into html files, and I should be able to finish it before x-mas. I'll let you know when I'm done. For now, I've updated the individual monsters and weapons pages with the "correct" numbers from the source code (some of the old ones were a bit off).

See ya
Paubo

I got word through e-mail that the official Quake 2 strategy guide should be coming out in January. It seems that it's a joint project between ID software and GT Interactive. There could be more companies in on the book but that's all I know of. Along with the book there will be a disk with some new Quake 2 levels on it. It seems that the levels will come from your friends on the net and not from ID level designers. I myself was asked to do a level for the book so I am currently working on one. All levels have to be approved by ID first so nothing is set in stone yet. Keep your eye out for the book, it's gonna be good.

Aenima Interactive (aenima.telefragged.com) has gone under some changes recently, the biggest being that we are no longer going to be doing a Quake 2 TC. We are not dead however! Aenima is going to be commited to creating DM paks for Quake 2! what i am looking for is people who have done quake single player, DM maps. You MUST have at least one Quake map out. If you dont, you wont even be considered. The DM pak will have a total of 10 maps, and will NOT include any new weapons, powerups...just pure hardcore DM mayhem. If your interested in working on this, and, hopefully more projects, please send any Quake bsp's, in ZIP format (no raw bsp's please..) to filth@telefragged.com
