Quake3World

... anyone remembers his article about mapping? I wonder how far his project has gone.

He was writing a book, or at least in the initial thought processes of putting one together.!

Yea, too bad, I was looking forward to seeing that book!

Some of his stuff made it into an interesting article in Architecture magazine back in August--I think the board was down at the time. I have a .pdf of the article.

Give me a day or two and I'll upload it to my site and post a link if no one else has a handy link...

I remember that. That was a great day for mappers if I recall correctly.

Architecture magazine, August 2004 issue, pages 58-63. I have the mag right here!

the article was released while this place was still running. someone allready hosted the .pdf - i have the link written on my printout at home. i'll check if it's still aviable this evening once i'm home.

The book is a long-term project for Harry. Also, just because you write a book doesn't mean it gets published. We can hope, tho.

I still have a copy of the pdf, as well. My family was very excited about that article, but I still think they don't understand at all what I do for a living.

So when *are* you going to get a proper job then...

Just send them a game that you've worked on and say, "I made all the worlds that you run around in." They should be able to figure that out. That's what I tell my family and they seem to get it.

oh noes, its me...

Heh, if he doesn't get it published we'll just have to persuade him to post it. :icon30:

He posted in the Mac forum in April asking how to get Q3A running in OSX after a rather late switch from OS9

and his last name is Allen

cheers

I thought he'd posted here not so long ago asking where various mappers had got to. Or was that over on the Map-Center?

That was here, it's where he posted that .pdf about mapping

The original article must've been posted here some time around the end of August last year, because the pdf copies I have are dated at the very start of September (all before this place went offline).

I think Harry might've posted in one of the other forums here and that's what I'm remembering, but it wasn't until after Q3W was up and running again.

Of course, I could just be
