Q3 Prerelease Photos and Q3Test

Post by **Foo** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 3:55 am

Does anyone have the Q3 Prerelease screenshots and any of the Q3 tests or alphas? I want to get as many of them as I can, and I'm fairly sure there were several tests, not just 1?

A gallery of the images I already have are (about to be) up on the Q3 Wiki

If you've got any of the images, and can submit them straight to the wiki, that would be very cool :icon14:

The man still owns q3test_1.05...what else would you expect??

Sweet as fuck.

Any idea how many there were? I would imagine The Man is in The Know.

what little I could find.

edit: While looking around I saw posts about 1.08...so at least however many that is.

Cheers Borkie, have downloaded a load of those and will try and build an article around the old test versions w/screenshots!

All are original id filenames, so you can stick them in filemirrors or Google and see what you can come up with. If you can't find a place to download one you want, I'd gladly serve it to you at my whopping 40Kb/Sec... Or in fact I guess I could put them in a archive send them to http://www.yousendit.com/ over night or something... :icon14:

Note: q3test_1_05.exe Does not work in XP.

Filenames are perfic. Thanks sir!

I think the best test was the leaked 'IHV'

Post by **Foo** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:06 am

That's the kind of thing only suitable for privately messaging!

Post by **dzjepp** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:07 am

Well, I don't have it right now, but o'dium does.

Post by **Foo** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:09 am

The last PM I sent to o'dium was fairly negative.

I remember running around q3dm13 on my 350GHz G3, 64MB RAM, and the good old ATI Rage128....those were good times.

Post by **Duhard** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:39 am

wanna run around q3dm13 with me 1v1?

Post by **Canis** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 6:22 am

where?

I think Mogul has it also.

Foo, i have the PC Gamer previews of Quake 3 around here somewhere...I can dig them out and scan them if you want?

Post by **HateFactor** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 7:07 am

I have all the Q3 Tests and pretty much all the Q3 PC mag previews as well. :icon26: Anyone remember the very first screenshots of Quake 3 that leaked on the net? I do - I still have them. :icon25:

On a side note I personally have always been looking for Quake 1/2 PC mag previews (especially the PC Gamer ones). If anyone have those and could scan 'em that'd be righteous (Carlos?).

sick link

Post by **DooMer** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:44 pm

It's aeons site, the level editing mod.

Post by **HateFactor** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:57 pm

Ahh, I guess that site has pretty much what I got. :icon32: The first screenshot was of base1 in the Quake 3 engine, but the first shots showing the actual game (ie. new levels, weapons, the new logo) were the ones ripped from the PC UK preview of Q3 (which came out a couple months before the American one). I have the original scans of the PC UK article still, amongst the hundred or so backup CDs lying around in my room. Still looking.

I'd really love the see the Quake 2 preview though (and the Q1 one).
