Furious Heights in Quake 3!

I decided to play around with some map conversion, because I wanted to do yet another experiment. My pick was Furious Heights.

After an hour or two of on-and-off work, I got it 95% working. All the shaders and textures are there, but the advertisements don't work. This map isn't that big a deal; there's just a big empty frame on the wall. But some maps, like Campgrounds, have the advertisements being part of the actual map structure, so if the ad doesn't show up, there's a big hole in the wall, plus some massive HOM effects.

I tried a few things to get the advertisements working: I tried changing the classname from "advertisement" to "func_static", deleting them altogether, and changing a few other parameters in a few different ways. I couldn't get them working, so I'll have to consult my experts as soon as I can.

They're available for download, but I'm not sure if I should actually publish them (lol nobody reads this fucking blog anyway)...

In other news, DREAMHACK!!! Along with the duel finals, mccormic's latest movie, "Kleftogiannis", will be shown. He's taking a very unique approach to this, and I love talking about it. He's making a CPMA/OSP/QL movie, which in itself is very weird, but he's also essentially showing a "beta" version at Dreamhack. What I mean by that, is that because he was strapped for time, his vision isn't quite complete. He will be fixing a lot of transitions and minor bugs after the showing at Dreamhack, as well as adding a whole second track (the first track is just brilliant. It's amazing, and I can't stress that enough. It's a DnB remix of some song that I'm not allowed to name).

It's gonna be the tits!
