[Hazematman]

I've been around the forum for a little while now (almost a year) and thought it was just about time to formally introduce myself.

Hello, my name is Lucas Fryzek, I use Hazematman/Haze for alot of things online, it was a small thing my cousin and I made along time ago (incase anyone is wondering I know it says Haze not Haz that was intentional). I am 14 years old, and I found out about quake around a year-ish ago. Well I had quake since I can remember , my dad just never let me play it, and when he finally did I couldn’t find out how to get it to run since the cd came with the dos version and I had windows xp. When the dvd drive broke on my xbox 360, I started to resort to pc gaming, starting with Half-life and half-life modding (never got anything done really except for mapping and modeling). Later I started to read about how the source code for quake was released as gpl, and that got me really interested in it because I really wanted to try to make a game. Then I found out about darkplaces and using it I finally got quake running and I just loved the game from the start.

And thats my very long story of how I found out about quake, or more like how I found out how to run quake

Oh and when I stated to resort to pc gaming I started to learn about pc programming and that got me started in half life modding. Then when I moved over to quake I found it a heck of alot easier and more fun to play around with the source code in quake, and that made me stick with quake along with the fact quake is alot of fun to play.

just a side note: Something I really like about quake is that I can almost play it on anything, I have it on my pc,wii,xbox(classic) and my psp

Hi, I'm Frenzy. I am a virgin to QuakeC, and as of recent have become interested in teaching myself, and learning from the help of this site. More or less, I will just be reading, reading, reading, not getting in the way of the flow, and practicing my own little things. I, as well as Inside3d, have been around since the beginning of time (Quake).

The biggest thing I've contributed to the community that's been of any help is a whole bunch of LOC's that hadn't been done before. As well, through all the years of R00k's testing, I've been there to be a guinea pig, and watched R00k fuck a Shambler and give birth to Qrack. I've given a lot of input through beta testing of mods, etc, but as far as coding, engine development, or anything along those lines, I am, as I said, a virgin.

I consider it an honor to be able to be around such a humble community, and look forward to new relationships within this site.

I still play Netquake 3wave CRCTF/CA/DM/RA/RUNEQUAKE myself. Nice meeting you all.

Frenzy: Oh please get in the way of the flow... We encourage it. Anything you need help with, whether you think it silly or not, don't be afraid to ask. Anyways, it's good to have you on board.

I fully intened to get in the way of the flow of Quake believe me, I'm a hardcore "finisher" meaning, once I start something, I only have one option: to finish. So, as of now, I'm going to start learning QuakeC, guess what that means?

[Seven]

Hello,
I am Seven and registered here in 2007, but never really introduced myself (I took a family pause from 2008 till 2010).
I live in Germany and therefore have difficulties understanding/writing english sometimes.
But not as much as understanding/writing QC
I am a very beginner in qc, but seeing how much power it has and what can be done with it, keeps me reading the great TUT´s here and working on my own small modifications.

Maybe some of you know me from quakeone.com.
I like the DarkPlaces engine, because of its huge replacement-files support and I am working hard in creating replacements for it (mainly effects-related).
Some of them are really nice to look at, but knowing that inside3D has a totally different opinion regarding replacements, I stop writing about it.

The most impressive thing about inside3D (as well as quakeone) are the kind and helpful people here.
Sometimes newbs like me are too shy to ask things, but if we do, the answer will be given within no time.

Kind regards,
Seven

Seven; your English is better than many, many English people.

Your English far outpaces my German, but my German is largely from listening to Rammstein...

Welcome nonetheless Seven, I've seen you around. You'll find Inside3d a bizarre mix of purist and experimental. I should do a chart sometime of such things...

Wow I need to check this thread more often (I often check activity while logged out).
