Have you played Aliens-TC in deathmatch? The smartgun is tracer.
(But it's a bit slow to be laser-like)

Subject: Another BSP problem
Hello!
Ok.... I have one that has me puzzled, and quite pissed off:
I am working on my level, and decide that it needs the deep water effect.
So I create it fine, then run WARM on it (my usual node builder), and find
that it does not properly display the water. No problem I say, I'll just
use BSP. I run BSP, and it craps out with a floating point exception. No
problem I say, I'll just use ZenNode. It craps out with illeagal
somethinorother in module ZENNODE.EXE (this is the dos version!).
So..... I believe the problem is 2 verticies on to of each other,
and thats why only WARM works... correct?
Now, I'm not about to wiggle some 4000 vertecies to find which is
the culprit, but I would still like to have my deep water look as good as
it can. Any suggestions? (perhaps BSP could incoporate the 0 lenght
linedef so it doesn't crash, hint, hint, wink, wink)
Thanks in advance,
Arek.
ps If there is an editor which can check for overlap, let me know!

By all means, UUencode it and send it to us. I'd like to see how it could be
made to work. (1 question, though- is it a Doom I or II level?) Only don't
attach it, as has been done (either mistakenly or by fault of the mail
gateway) before, but embed it in the document.

Subject: .wads and the WWW
I tried out a VRML viewer on the web today and was kind of dissapointed.
These VRML rendering engines are slow even on a Pentium, and they don't
provide any way to interact with the environment.
Then the thought occurred that it wouldn't be very hard to configure Doom,
Doom2, or Heretic as a helper app in Netscape or one of the other web
browsers.
When you clicked on the hypertext link for a wad file, the browser would
download the wad, launch Doom and load the wad file. (This would work in
Windows95 and maybe Warp)
The only part I don't know how to do is to get the browser to do the "-file
www.wad" extension when it launches Doom. I wonder how much you would have to
tweak the Doom engine to add a door, switch etc. that would act as a link to
another .wad?
This leads in to the idea that Quake with its wad loading capabilities will
probably make a killer 3D viewer app for the world wide web. Imagine clicking
on a hypertext link and entering a wad that contains hypertext links to other
Quake sites. Maybe you could even use a special type of hypertext link to
join a network game.
Just some ideas ... sorry for using the "Q" word

that would be in your .mailcap file. the format should be something like
'.wad; doom -file %s' (i'm guessing here on the exact format)

How big's the file? If it's pretty small I'll take it.
As for my version, I just started making it yesterday.
