Coming soon: 
| 98/06/23 Unreal Manual in english |
| Somewhere on the net I found a english manual for
unreal. I publish it here for my
german friends that bought the dutch version (like me).
Itīs a PDF File of about 520K. Also a cool tool for unreal to measure framerates is available here. Still no OpenGL patch for Unreal. Itīs supposed to be available within the next 2 weeks. Hope so! |
| 98/06/12 Unreal rocks in singleplayer, Quake rules in Multiplayer |
| 98/05/22 Unreal available friday 5/22 |
| It is true! Unreal will be available in the US today.
Too bad I live in germany and Unreal is scheduled to be
released here 11. June. I hope I can get my hands on a
import copy earlier. If Unreal lives up to its promise I will most certainly start to cover it on this page as well. Maybe I opt to get a new URL and do some cross- referencing. Seeing through water is a big issue in the newsgroups these days. I added a tip that helps to see through water if you dive. Your vision is as clear as usually. However, you canīt see through the water from outside (and that was what you wanted, right?). As long as you are not high enough from the ground (pretty realistic, huh?). Another tip Iīve added is a link to legions site where you can find the "Stroggs Gone Mad" mod. This makes Singleplayer really hard. When I tried to upload the latest changes to my webhost, I found that the host is down :-(( In the meantime I discovered something really cool: IDGamma is a tool for setting up Quake 2 (and other ID games) so that they look great with RIVA 128 based cards. Check it out in the Riva Section! You will love it! I added some info about the deathmatch levels q2dm1-q2dm8 in the tips section with screenshots and a little secret room. |
| 98/05/13 Back from vacation with new CPU |
| I didnīt update the page for a while because I was on vacation. Well, maybe I should say "not at work". In fact my living room has been updated. New Wallpaper and new wooden floor. Now everything is fine in the house and I even got a new CPU. I upgraded from my P166MMX to a P233MMX. Framerate went up from 18.4 to 22.4 and everything else is a bit faster as well. |
| 98/04/30 New CRBot, updated FAQ and Tips |
| New CRBot
Version 1.14. CTF is now much faster on low-end PCs. For
me it changed from unusable to a decent fps. Added a table of contents to the faq and tips section.Updated some tips and faq. |
| 98/04/29 CRBot vs. Eraser |
| After playing the CRBot for
quite some time I think this will become my #1 bot. The
Eraser Bot is great but CRBotīs hit on the CPU is much
lower than Erasers. Since my P166MMX is not the fastest
machine on earth Iīll stick with CRBot for now. Added some FPS values. |
| 98/04/19 Final Viper 330 drivers available |
| Diamond has released the final drivers for the Viper 330 (AGP & PCI). The new driver has gamma control and is now 25% faster in Direct 3D. Check out Diamonds benchmark page. Get the drivers here. |
| 98/04/18 Late Nite Happening |
| Tonight at around 2:30 we had a cool happening at the
Talk im Turm Server (130.149.48.130). Below you see a
screenshot and here is the
demo map. If you didnīt see the diferent waves in Quake
2 you gotta download it at once. |
| 98/04/17 Some more fps |
| Thanks to Ralf and Carsten for their FPS. In the last week I tried to find out how to practice the hook with eraser bot. The answer is simple: You canīt. But if you use CRBot you can use the hook in deathmatch. I never tried CRBot before and I am very happy with it. CRBot has a much smaller Disk footprint and I think its also faster (less lag on my slow P166MMX) than Eraser. Here is a hint for my german friends: Check out the german bot page at http://deuq2bot.home.pages.de its a cool page and Frank (the webmaster) gave me a good hint for CRBot (thanks Frank). |
| 98/04/11 Some more fps and FAQs |
| My FPS collection is constantly growing. Thanks to all the people who sent me their fps. But I still want more. Keep sending me your configuration along with thefps you are getting. |
| 98/04/07 new look |
| Iīve seen the site on a Mac with 832x640 on a 17" monitor and found that the images are too big. I made them somewhat smaller and the one in the middle a bit brighter. Hope youīll like it. Iīm thinking about doing a frames version of the site so the startpage shows more information. |
| 98/04/06 added new fps and walkthrough tip |
| Thanks to Frankie and Holger for their FPS. I got stuck in the last unit and found help at http://www.planetquake.com/walk/walk00.html This Walkthrough is too good to be true. Nice screenshots and step by step information so it doesnīt spoil you more than necessary. |
| 98/04/05 added a list of Cheats and a link to console commands |
| The URL has changed. Please bookmark now to have the updated URL. It is now http://spiele.freepage.de/leo.For the time beeing there is a automactic forward page at the old URL. |
| 98/04/04 New URL |
| The URL has changed. Please bookmark now to have the updated URL. It is now http://spiele.freepage.de/leo.For the time beeing there is a automactic forward page at the old URL. |
| 98/04/01 Downtime/upated FAQ |
| Sorry for the downtime. My Webhost had to service the
system and the site was down for 3 days. On the other
hand I was happy to see that you missed the site. Someone
asked in a newsgroup what happened to the site. Well, I hope they have their act together now and maybe my host will inform me about downtimes next time. Iīm still pleased with their service. Aside from the fact that itīs free itīs very fast (at least from germany) and uploading data is fast. If you want to start your own page, check it out! Well, I also did some work on the
site. Some additions to the FAQ section and new tips
(check out the rocket jump alias!). |
| 98/03/28 (later) NV3Tweak 2.5 to set gamma for Diamonds Beta 2 drivers |
| The NV3Tweak adds the Riva
128 Tab to your Display properties and lets
you adjust (amonst other things) the OpenGL gamma. Now
here is the bad news: I installed it and it doesnīt
work. I mean I can modify the setting but it is not used
in Quake II. It continues to be very dark. Iīll
keep trying and so should you. If it works for you,
please let me know. PS: Here is the updated Readme with installation instructions. |
| 98/03/28 OpenGL Beta 2 drivers for Viper 330 |
| I came back from a business trip on friday and,
geez... new OpenGL drivers for the Viper. Someone in the
newsgroups wrote itīs 10-15% faster than the beta 1. I
downloaded it (2.900KB) and installed it. The ReadMe file
says "OpenGL for Windows 95 added". Thats
it. I played around with the new drivers and here is my take: - the gamma Iīve set with EzTweak is not used with Beta 2. Quake 2 is way too dark. - couldnīt find a way to set gamma, so far. - the FPS goes slightly down (approximately 0.3 FPS on my P166MMX) - canīt see any diference in visual effects Sorry folks but Iīm back at Beta 1. This works fine with everything I do on my PC and Beta 2 seems to be a downgrade for me. Anyway, if you want to see for your self get the new drivers here (Viper only). |
| 98/03/23 New in FAQ: Using the NetMouse with Quake II |
| Finally I managed to setup my Genius NetMouse to use
the scrollbutton in Quake II. Visit the FAQ
Page Also EasyTweak 1.1 is out. It lets you adjust Gamma and some other parameters of your Riva 128 based videocard. See the Riva Section |
| 98/03/22 Added a page with links |
| I quickly put together a page with my favourite links. The discriptions will be completed and I will have a ranking system. As you can see above localizing is still on my todo list. Entschuldigung. |
| 98/03/21 The Page has moved!!! |
| I found that croswinds is
*very* slow. It takes minutes to upload files and reading
mail is almost impossible. After 5 attempts to ftp my
stuff to crosswinds I quit trying and looked for another
free homepage service. I tried a few and I decided to use
www.freepage.de. Aside from the fact that this is a
german service it is very fast and accessible. Thank you
guys I hope Iīll stay here for a while.
I put a forward message up on crosswinds and I apologize if you had trouble finding the new location. |
| 98/03/20 All new design |
| I have downloaded PhotoImpact from www.shareware.com and used it to design the graphics of this site. Yes it is a 12Meg download. Quite much for a demo but this is a must have for webdesigners. |
| 98/03/16 added the Tips, FPS and Riva pages |
| I tried few of the tips in the
3 finger guide but the fps increased a minimum compared
to the decrease in looks. So I set everything back to
normal. But from now on I want to know if my
configuration peforms well and compare it to other
peoples PC. If I see someone with a P166MMX and Riva card
getting 25 fps I have a good reason to check my
configuration again. Also inspired by the newsgroups I put up some tools that help users of Riva 128 based cards with glitches of the drivers. |
| 98/03/13 started the website |
| After Iīve seen the same
questions over and over in the various quake related
newsgroups I decided to bring up a Quake II related
website. I have coosen crosswinds as my host for the
site. The start was just a very boring index page and a FAQ page. |
