• A new model based on the "Day of the Tentacle" has been released over here. I'm told it looks like a tentacle...

I won $20,000 at the tables, which I am donating to the Free Software Foundation. I have been meaning to do something for the FSF for a long time. Quake was deployed on a dos port of FSF software, and both DOOM and Quake were developed on NEXTSTEP, which uses many FSF based tools. I don't subscribe to all the FSF dogma, but I have clearly benefited from their efforts.

• Tetronic has opened up shop. It features news, a link exchange, as well as site hosting (and some hosted sites already). Be sure to check 'em out.

• The Assassin TC is desperately in need of someone to do models of weapons, enemies, players, etc. Contact Jason at beatnik622@earthlink.net if you are interested.
• The Quake DevilS have a post up on their page that mentions the team that made the extremely impressive PainKeep mod for Quake is now looking for one coder and one map designer.

• There's a Quake2 Prefabs contest over here. First prize winner gets a choice of a Monster3D or a Diamond Viper V330. The contest starts Feb 9, and ends March 9. Winners will be announced on March 13.
• The Quake2Palette is giving its visitors the chance to vote on their new logo. Kind of a different twist to the usual logo contest setup, the users will pick which logo the Q2Palette ends up using.

A new mod I just made has a fully playabe beta ready and available. It allows you to run around in Quake2 tagging fellow players in balls. To become 'it' you must first hit another player in the sack, then once it you can start scoring since you can only score when your it. Anyone who is it can only be killed by someone hitting them in the bag, and so the game goes. Right now it's in it's early stages but soon I'll have it more refined. It's available over in the files section at http://www.q2design.gawd.org

I have finished the first version of the DLL, Rev. 1.0. I will be putting up a web page this week to support it on my web site at http://www.randomlogic.com/games/quake2/revenge. The dll supports 10 marine classes in both single player and death match at present. After the point release, I will include team play. It also supports normal Quake II (i.e.. - non modified) single player play.
