Happy New Year to all!
I'm not good at this updating lark am i? But don't worry, i have been updating the site, i just keep forgetting about the news page. I've been changing the look by quite a bit, and if you find any broken links plz mail me about them.

I've been enroled into a mod team over the x-mas holidays! We're currently constructing a mod called Rail Arena Rush, which basically describes it, but i won't tell you much more about it atm. You might've guessed i'm one of the mappers on the team, and the maps for the mod will need quite a lot of converting to be able to play it without the mod, so i might not bother and make you all d/l the mod! :P
I'll try to keep updating the news page with info on the mod.

If you want a map to be held on the site, or think you could be a dab hand at writing mapping or editing tutorials [for quake3 of course] then don't hesitate to mail me.

You might know that this page doesn't get updated very often, this month the excuse is that Radiant has been f**king up and Q3A mapping has been off this month for me :( But its ok now.

Been toying with the idea of doing a CTF level, as so has a friend of mine so i could be playing around with that the coming month.

Not much else to say really, so I'll let you get on, and if i can't update for yet another month, HAPPY CHRISTMAS :D

Tuesday 3rd October 2000

Well, I haven't updated the news page for over a month, but i still do update tutorials and map versions quite regularly. There'll be some more tutorials since last month, and a new map!

The map is a conversion of the old dm4, The Bad Place, from Quake to Q3A. I'm doing this project with Abyss who is more associated with Creatures 3 and it was only recently i found out about the new Classic Quake mod which is far more superior with weapon and sound conversions, but if you don't fancy a 20mb+ download, our maps are ideal.

That's about it for this month, help with tutorials would still be greatly appreciated.

Saturday 2nd September 2000

Sorry about the long pause of updates but i've been busy. Still fiddling round with the site (you might've noticed the new logo) and i've added a couple more tutorials (still writing them). Not much more yet.. New version of radiant has come out but i haven't been able to get it yet..

If anyone has experience of Q3A mapping/editing and want to make a name for yourself then mail me about writing some tutorials. It would be a great help.

Thursday 3rd August 2000

I've been updating the site without updating the news, sorry! You might've noticed there's a new menu to your right so it is easier to navigate around the site, I've changed the tutorials section, though there aint many tutorials there at the moment, there will be more shortly.

I've started a new Quake 3 map, just the layout first, to see if it's playable before making it more pleasing to the eye. I got the idea from a Quake 2 map on the PSX version of the game, i can't remember the name the map, but you might reconise it from screen shots i'll put up when it's more developed.

I've also been excepted into a Quake 3 web-ring (bottom of page) :D

Monday 31st July 2000

I've started the main promotion of EW this week and just generally been 'tweaking' the site, the background grid image for one. After I've got everything set up I'll be ready to start adding more tutorials, maps and prefabs. A bit of a disaster on the mapping front actually I'm afraid, I've lost my only .map version of storage due to forgetting to back it up. I might have it on a disk somewhere but it's not looking good :(

If anyone has anything you can retrieve a .map from a .bsp please let me know, I have one but doesn't work for Q3A map, just my luck. So, for the moment, this is the final version of Cold Storage.

On a lighter note (unless you find my .map blunder amusing) on the first day of joining the Q3A top 100 sites, I came 98 with 8 hits yesterday (*bounce*), my promotional 'campaign' must be doing something then :D

Saturday 23th July 2000

Right, for those people who haven't been here before (erm..everyone then!) this is the third incarnation of the site, and no doubt not the last. I quite like the new look, but I say that for every look so that doesn't mean anything :D

I have just changed the old site into this style so there's nothing new for those regulars (*cough*), but there might, no, will be soon.
I'm thinking about adding a Half-Life section, but that depends on how well my level in the making comes along. Hmm..
