    Gray Matter's game Trinity was one of my most highly anticipated at the time (keep in mind this is from about 2000):

    D3ads reacted to sock in Q1 - In the Shadows   
    Finally after months of testing, tweaking and huge amounts of coding, drawing and level design I present version 1 of my MOD 'In the Shadows' which features three maps, two game play modes (vanilla/stealth) and a readme file packed full of hints to help ease your way into the MOD.

    For people not familiar with the state of Quake 1 nowadays, there are several engine replacements that extend the original format so that more can be done. This MOD relies on the new engines to work with the old Quake 1 assets. You will need a full version of Quake 1 to get this working, so check out steam for a cheap copy. Then download the custom engine (links below) and setup a shortcut using the extra parameters I have specified in the readme file. Once that is done (I know, a bit complex and long winded) you can play the MOD and enjoy the new gameplay modes and have a good old fun journey down memory lane.

    Things to note, this is old tech, monsters have square bounding boxes and simple graphics, when playing stealth be aware that hit detection will not be precise and try to learn what size monsters really are. If you are curious to see this in action, drop down the console and type 'r_showbboxes 1' and it will draw they hit detecton bounding box. This will be more apparent in stealth mode because you are trying to avoid waking up the AI and need to distract them with objects around them.

    The MOD features, new maps, mapmodels, monsters, animations, texures, sounds, sprites and crazy amount of new code (quake scripting about 3-4K new lines) to create the new game mode, stealth. The maps all support new AI features and they are not the usual quake style, they will hunt you down and play more like DM style bots.

    Please take the time to record some demo's with Fitz because this will be the perfect way for me to understand how you played the maps. If there any problems or things you think should be different, please let me know.

    I thought I was dreaming or on the wrong forum for a short time upon seeing this thread here...

    What you have to understand is that these rebels actively dig themselves into civilian areas and use the populace as human shields. Ground offensives are extremely costly, so the Syrian army has to mostly bombard the area to wipe the rebels out and they end up hitting residents of the buildings being hit or the surrounding area. It isn't ideal and it's pretty revolting but what else are they supposed to do? I mean when you consider NATO operations in Kosovo and Libya cluster bombing civilian areas, there isn't really any difference is there? Also all this fiasco about the army actively attacking the people in large groups is nonsense, if this was the case then the numbers would be far far higher. Take the 1982 Hama massacre for example, where 10-40,000 militia and people were killed in the space of one month. Rebel corpses are stripped of their weapons and accessories and depicted as civilian causalties regularly too, you even have the rebels dressing up in Syrian army uniform and killing civilians in order to further blame the government. The rebels are also causing massive damage to buildings with their own mortars that they've lifted from fallen units/raided bases and with 'balloon bombs'.

    Western coverage of the conflict is becoming so one-sided with the rebels that you have to search out world media to get a better idea of what's going on. The BBC is especially bad, using the so called 'Syrian Observatory for Human Rights' as a legitimate source, which is one anti-government activist living in the UK who gets phone calls about what's going on in Syria.. how on Earth is that a relevant and credible source?! This coupled with one reporter speaking with glee as the rebels plant an IED device, something our troops have been killed with numerous times in Afghanistan and Iraq, isn't that being witness to a war crime? It really makes me deplore BBC's Syria coverage not to mention when they did report on the rebels using someone as a suicide bomber unwittingly, it got deleted a few hours later! Ridiculous.

    Also refering to the opposition as the "Syrian people"... Syria is a secular state with freedom of religion and the people are very divided, there are both pro and anti-government sunnis as well as shi'ite alawi then Christians, druze, jews and kurds on both sides of the fence. It is impossible to tell if the people are largely against or for Assad's presidency. The three million strong Government rallies speak some volumes though, it has to be said.

    As for the rebels, you have The Free Syrian Army who are *supposed* to be secular but there are definately Islamic movements within the different brigades. The actual openly islamist groups and the salafist groups linked to Al-Qaeda carrying out the suicide and car bombings. There are lots of foreigners in all of them, 40% of the rebel causalties in Aleppo have been non-Syrian according to one doctor including Chechens, Pakistanis, Turks etc amongst them.

    So yeah, rather than a war of "Good vs Bad" it's "Somewhat Bad Vs Extremely Bad". I say somewhat because no matter how demonised Bashar is portrayed, he studied in the UK, understands and respects our western culture and way of living and not longer than 3 years ago we were singing his praises in his presidency. Once upon a time, the same could be said for Gaddafi...

    Also The Syrian army actually firing into Turkey and Israel on purpose is complete crap, provoking a NATO member to initiate article VI of the charter or reignite a war that has been cold since the 70s, either is no gain whatsoever to Syria and would lead to chaos making the current situation seem like a little scuffle in comparison...

    Playing Max Payne again, with aim to play MP2 before finally getting around to playing MP3.

    It's still so pretty in places, obviously it's aged but some of the really good textures are still pleasing to the eye, though the more ugly photo-raped ones are even more ugly. Bullet time is still some of the most fun I've had in gaming!

    There are three topics impossible to be discussed in a rational way: Politics, Religion and Soap Operas.

    Can't we just have this kind of discussions in off-topic? As long as we keep it civil I don't see any problem.
