Shedule and Results

AlexeyA:
"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and I�m a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and that�s what I�m trying to combat. I�m sure I�m not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. I�m sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum that�s admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
<>
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."

Quake 3/Quake Live Demo Renderer (223 comments)

( Major News: Q3 QL)

Posted by MaverickMSG @ 14:54 CDT, 8 June 2013 - iMsg

In May I started working on a project after being annoyed at how difficult and drawn-out the process was to convert a Q3/QL demo into a movie. As a result, I now present the Quake 3/Quake Live Demo Renderer.

In a nutshell, you upload a Q3/QL demo, wait a few minutes (or hours!), and out pops a 1920x1080 30fps x264-encoded MP4 for you to download. No messing with WolfCamQL or Quake 3 and no sweating over config files; the server does the heavy lifting.

Project details

What's next

This project would not have been possible without

mdv and his feedback and configs. He's made it all possible.

Additional thanks/notes

How long will it take?

Update: There is a YouTube channel now.

Always looking for feedback:
