FACEIT SPRING SEASON SUNDAY CUP #8 (102 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by easytarget @ 22:15 CDT, 16 May 2014 - iMsg

Event: FACEIT

Scheduled: 08:15 CDT, 18 May 2014 to 13:00 CDT, 18 May 2014
Schedule: Passed

The FACEIT Spring Season Week #8 is here and we only have two more events remaining in the Series until the Finale. This past week we saw

evil assert his dominance for a second week in a row and make a massive leap in the standings from eighth to third.

He easily made his way right to the finals where he beat

Cypher in three straight games to play an absolutely perfect tournament by not losing a single map to any of his opponents. A remarkable feat considering the talent that has consistently been playing in the points series as of late.

This week I am sure will be just as entertaining so tune in or you can already sign-up now! The cup starts at 07:00 CST.

Daniel "ddk" Kapadia and

Xavier "Zoot" Dhorne will be casting the games for you, starting live at 07:30 CST

FACEIT TV.

Rules

If you missed the Match of the week #17 - EVIL vs. CYPHER (Spring Season Cup 7), then you better give it a look you do not want to miss the thrills of this match.

Space CTF heatmaps (18 comments)

( Article: QL)

Posted by Nakilon @ 20:16 CDT, 15 May 2014 - iMsg

Actually this concept and research was done three years ago, but today I found time to publish some results. The initial idea was about identifying fake accounts playing Space CTF by rendering their portaljump technique like a fingerprint. But later I found, that heatmaps of the entire map are more informative.

Since from demos we have 5 axes (X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch), we can draw 10 projections, but I chose three the most interesting of them.

Each another player rendered in this way would get some annotations from me, so this article could have a lot of text, but at the end I decided to put all annotations directly onto the image.

You may send me demos if you want them to be converted into such pictures. But be sure the whole demo was recorded from POV of a one player and without switching teams. I almost didn't draw another maps and didn't compare obvious fakes, since have not much time to stalk and record.

QUAKE LIVE Premium Pak 21 (293 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by SyncError @ 11:19 CDT, 14 May 2014 - iMsg

Event: QLPP

QUAKE LIVE Premium Pak 21 is now online. This update features one free arena, and five new Premium arenas.

Limited Time Offering!

Premium Arenas Added

Arkinholm:
Designed by the TDM all-star, Richard 'noctis' Gansterer, and detailed by Chad 'Despair' Younger, Arkinholm is a brand new arena, set in a sprawling gothic medieval village. Players will find themselves winding through alleys and corridors through the various outdoor market areas holding not only fresh fruits and vegetables, but also weapons and items. A Quad Damage is available, but only for those travelling into the seedy underworld, suspended in the middle of a swamp. Arkinholm is also great for Free For All, and Clan Arena matches.

Dead and Gone:
From author David 'SgtGhost' Levesque comes 'Dead and Gone', one of Rocket Arena 3's most recently widely requested small Clan Arena levels. Taking place in one open room, players will find themselves going for the high ground. Be aware of the middle of the arena, however, because a lone jumpad will expose your backside to those creeping along the ledges. Dead and Gone is also available for small Free For All matches.

Hen House:
Rocket Arena 3 mapping legend Till Merker, author of Theatre of Pain, Evolution, and Thunderstruck, has graced us with another of his works. From his ra3map12 collection 'Frag Like an Egyptian' comes a new treat for large CA fans, Hen House. Don't expect to be cooped up in this arena, however, as the rooms are large and open, rewarding those who can rocket jump and strafe jump through its hallways. Players experienced with the railgun will find themselves an easier time here, as there are plenty of opportune sniping spots. Hen House also plays great in Domination.

McSarges:
Ferdinand 'cityy' List, creator of Cure and Silence, brings us another Duel arena for our enjoyment. This alternate-reality western mining town is where Sarge has took up shop to fund an escalating war between the locals. McSarge's is a very tall arena with a lot of nooks and crannies to navigate through. You'll want to control most of the major items, found along the bottom floors of the arena, especially the very potent Lightning Gun, Yellow Armor, and Mega Health area. Otherwise, run on over and grab the Red Armor, Rocket Launcher, and Green Armor, also within easy reach. McSarge's also plays great in Free For All.

New Cerberon:
Straight from the pages of the Mapping Corner forum, we're pleased to bring you 'New Cerberon'. From the up and coming designer EmeraldTiger, New Cerberon heralds the first look at the Strogg's recreation of their fallen capital following the vicious war between the Strogg and the Global Defense Forces. Their knack for oddly symmetrical designs happens to work out great for gladiators teleported in for Capture the Flag action, with a classic base design that can be attacked in different low, medium, and high routes. Between the bases lies an open area holding various smaller items, and a Rocket Launcher, although plenty of angles exist for players who have grabbed the Railgun.

Thank's a lot to all my friends for support during the process of making this movie and to those who were waiting so long to see it. I really hope you like it!

I am not much skilled in making movies, but I wished to make ut3 frag movie with just a girl. Of course, i am not entirely satisfied with the work done, because I am not experienced enough in movie editors and I have catastrophically little time. Nevertheless, I've made a huge effort and I have no power to go on. I hope you like it, thank you :)

Binder Online for multi-stroke bindings (10 comments)

( Article: QL)

Posted by Nakilon @ 04:29 CDT, 13 May 2014 - iMsg

Initially Quake doesn't allow you to define multi-stroke bindings easily -- it needs some jumping around configs.
Binder was a tool doing it for you. A config such as this:

q s : say_team QUAD SOON!
q 1 : say_team QUAD in 10 seconds! // 10sec
q 5 : say_team QUAD in 5 seconds! // 5sec
q r 1 : say_team RED POWERUP in 10 seconds! // 10sec
q b 5 : say_team BLUE POWERUP in 5 seconds! // 5sec

\ d 1 : say ^7DA uDu Tbl HAXyu OT MEH9 6**** ^4(c) ^7coolle^4R
\ d 3 : say ^7Try it without Guillom (c) rail

\ c s : callvote shuffle

\ c 1 : callvote teamsize 1 // ts1
\ c 2 : callvote teamsize 2 // ts2
\ c 8 : callvote teamsize 8 // ts8

\ c m s : callvote map spacectf
\ c m 6 : callvote map campgrounds

transforms into several configs and you shouldn't bother to know how do they work.

The first version of Binder was made by me three years ago as offline executable. Now I decided to make it available online here: http://naki.pro/binder/
It already has some tutorial, but any discussion is welcome here in comments.

It works for Quakelive and probably Q3A, etc. Theoretically I can adapt it to any another game, which can /exec configs.

Cypher: An in-depth look at the ninja (126 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by ins @ 11:22 CDT, 11 May 2014 - iMsg

I recently wrote the first of a series of analytical articles to come about Quake Live.
This first one is about

Cypher's playstyle for Titan, which is a take on how the Belarusian player approaches the various aspects of the game.

Here's a preview:
"As internet traffic evolved from the old copper phone lines to state of the art fibre-optics, games like Quake started to make full use of the new possibilities. With their focus shifting from single player campaigns to online deathmatch frenzies, users were finally able to compete live, against real people, from all around the world. This intense competitive environment is what the young Alexey Yanushevsky, who would later become known as "Cypher", ended up falling in love with."

The article is written in

English and also translated to

Russian, check it out here!
