QuakeCon Interview Two Community News | 7/18/2001 | 9:47 PST - Pappy-R The second QuakeCon interview in the series is up and downright plump with info taken from the mind of EvilJohn, Executive Director of this years bash. Ash: Every year QuakeCon is just a total blast. What do you think is going to make this year even bigger and better than previous QuakeCon experiences? EvilJohn: I'm glad people attend QuakeCon have a such good time. The people are the sole reason we do this. We don't (deliberately) try to make the current edition of QuakeCon out do the previous year's, it just seems to work out that way. Every year the excitement and energy QuakeCon produces seems to get bigger and bigger. To make the event the better this year, I've had a few specific goals. First and foremost I wanted to make better use of the BYOC LAN servers. Last year we had some oddities that didn't allow us maximize the servers. AMD provided with some serious hardware and we could have loaded them more, I think. We will more have mods running, more easily reachable for the players. Second, wanted to have a really enjoyable, competitive tournament. Pro-gaming is an important part of our community now, while QC isn't a pro-gaming event, the pro communities dedication to Quake3 is something that needed to be recognized. I'm also looking forward to some of the BYOC events we're going to have. Periodically we're going to run contests in the BYOC to keep things exciting. Speaking of contests I'm SO looking forward to case-mod contest. The boys over at HardOCP.com are judging this year's contest, and I think they're in for a treat. I received an ICQ from someone asking if they could bring a goldfish into QuakeCon. They wanted to use the CPU to heat the water. I don't know if he's actually going to do it or not, but I hope he gets it right. I'm a little worried about things getting out of control and having QuakeCon turn into a some twisted version of Iron Chef. Get all the goods you can about the man and the event in our second QuakeCon interview!

Community News | 7/17/2001 | 9:20 PST - Pappy-R Ash is more than just a little in love with annual QuakeCon event, and with good reason. Today kicks off his first in a series of QuakeCon Interviews, starting with Tapper, Director of Operations for QuakeCon 2001. Ash: What do you think makes QuakeCon so damn phat that players travel from all over the country, and all over the world, to attend? Tapper: Well, it’s two things. The first, is the people. Quakecon still feels like a family reunion, and I think that element makes the event something really special for the people that attend. People meet so many friends from IRC, their clans, website forums, that the event just has that reunion feel to it. The second thing, is id. id’s sponsorship, and no holds barred participation in the event really makes it special for folks that play Quake as a passion. Quakecon is the only place I know of, that a player can meet the guys that made the whole thing possible, shake their hands, and talk to them about whatever. In fact, I think you could accurately describe Quakecon as a huge party that id throws for its fans every year. I think the combination of all these things, just makes Quakecon the "Mecca" experience that it is for so many gamers. Get the smack on the biggest, baddest Quake party of them all right here!

TexSynth Hits The Scene Community News | 7/16/2001 | 7:24 PST - Pappy-R There's a new toy in town from the maker of the Q3A Shader Editor (Q3ASE) and it's name is TexSynth. This new tool is for, you guessed it, making textures and I'll let the author tell you about it. TexSynth is a new tool for making textures looking "similar" to input images. It's the perfect utility for making variations on a basic theme, for enlarging or shrinking an existing image without stretching it, or for making a non-tiling image tile. Since it's only concerned about textures, it can be used by mappers and modellers alike, regardless of game or software used. The tool is only in its infancy, just reaching 0.1, so it's important to read the notes on the homepage listing the pro's and con's of using it. Navy Seals HUD'n Stuff Quake III Arena News | 7/16/2001 | 7:03 PST - Pappy-R It's time for another Navy Seals: Covert Ops updtae on what the team has been working on for this "to drool for" total conversion for Quake III.
