title: Two Updates, One Month!
---
It's unbelievable, but true. I guess I'm trying to be cool like
Tom Gilbert and update my
page more than
Tim Finch (sorry Tim -- you knew it was coming :P). I finally
updated the Projects page; check it out for
some more recent projects I've been involved in, and some more
Linux- and UNIX-related scripts and programs.
I decided to set up
a temporary Quake 3 Arena Demo
server on my home computer. Id software does a checksum comparison
on the PK3 file before loading the demo server, so I couldn't modify
any of the bots or levels, but I did hack together some interesting
demo server modifications with some shell-trickery and a quick Perl
script. Essentially, Quad Damage does _no_ damage (because quad is
for losers), getting armor temporarily doubles gravity or changes the
knock-back on certain weapons, and getting mega-health halves
gravity (which wreaks havoc when you're playing Q3DM17). Again, I
don't know how often it'll be active, but here's the info in case
you're interested:
Server: | Pablo's Wacky Fun House |
Host: | pabs.dhs.org |
Info: | Q3D-DM: Q3DM7, Q3DM17 |
