![]() ![]() ![]() The latest quake struck shortly after 5 a.m. He added that the World Food Program is prepared to distribute about 350,000 meals and other food assistance to those in need.īut ongoing insecurity and damage to roads "are hampering relief efforts," Dujarric said, referring in part to the country's gang violence. stands ready to work with the Haitian authorities and other partners to help ease the suffering of those in need as it relates to the earthquake and of course, the other natural disaster which is the flooding and landslides we've seen in the past few days," Dujarric said. The quake comes just days after heavy storms battered Haiti - the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere - leaving at least 51 people dead and 18 missing, according to a Civil Protection services toll quoted by the United Nations on Tuesday. "We're deeply saddened by the loss of life, destruction of property and suffering of the Haitian people caused by the earthquake," Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said in New York. Three of the dead "are members of the same family and were killed when their house collapsed," Christine Monquele, head of Civil Protection in Grand'Anse, told AFP on Tuesday.Īt least 36 others were reported injured. The magnitude 4.9 quake occurred in the isolated Grand'Anse department nearly 300 kilometers west of Port-au-Prince, at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers, according to the U.S. So a server operator could take the mod upload and run a competent server with his or her list of maps and the players could connect and play the kind of vanilla deathmatch they like, on the maps they want with the rules they like.Īnd so a modder could start with a REAL base and a server operator doesn't need to muck around.Ĭombined with the rest of the Quake R&D (from RQuake to Quake-Life to Spike's CSQC winquake to all the engine research everyone has done) that has been done in Quake the last few years, it wouldn't be so hard to take that ^^ and then build up either.An earthquake shook parts of western Haiti on Tuesday, killing at least four people and injuring three dozen others, civil protection authorities said. Optional frikbots support and maybe have 2 builds available in the source with the optional bots #IFDEF WITH_BOTS and the ability for the bots to be either voted or optionally appear or disappear depending on a server rule like if there are 3 or more human players don't have the bots. Optional ability to have map cycling via a gamedir'd maps.txt that lists the maps, kind of like what you made for Dredd.Ĩ. Whatever other important deathmatch friendliness features that you think are important (your field of expertise).Ħ. The QuakeC should by default support "modes" like round based play, team based play, ffa.ĥ. Mechanics unknown but I bet you've thought of this.ģ. So a server like the EuroQuake one or a coop server doesn't need to recompile the QuakeC for the server know what maps are available and make them automatically votable. Automatic vote-map and automatic server detection of maps. I can hatch out a clean source to QuakeC in a few days/week I actually had one stripped down after making QBall.The first step would be a clean QuakeC from a veteran point of view (yours) that solved the problems every server operator and modder whines about :ġ. I think it would be cool to make something like but in 3d. I could compromise the open source-ness of CAx by releasing just the core framework for modders while still maintaining a secure source, (meaning Neil wont code a backdoor for his team to win ) But sense lost it after developing the foundation for CAx. I can hatch out a clean source to QuakeC in a few days/week I actually had one stripped down after making QBall. ![]() We would have to decide what the basic "extended features" are. Hmm, Baker you and I could make something like this. Quake is so close and yet so far from the magical threshold. Well, plus making models and especially animating them is a pain. ![]() If a more modding friendly engine that ran on countless platforms including even things like the PSP and an open source improved progs.dat framework existed with extended features, I personally think Quake would have a huge renaissance especially if some of the outstanding "problems" like server browser, in-client chat and so forth were resolved. All of those projects always are in need of a coder, unfortunately. ![]()
