Here’s the skinny on some mods with booths here at the QuakeExpo! First off we have TurboQ. This features some neat enhancements, like damage numbers (aka floating numbers) when you do damage to a baddie, weapon tweaks, weapon switching while reloading (awesome!), and even cooler, slow motion mode! You can do this whenever you want. You replenish your slow motion power by gibbing monsters or their bodies! Sweet! Next…
The cutting edge of 8-bit rendering This project could be classified as a Quake engine mod, but it goes beyond the challenges of Quake to push the state-of-the-art of software-rendering. Check out the video at the top of the Retroquad booth and see for yourself. New graphics features include molten texture mapping, new dithering methods for light, color, and particles, and rotating movable alphatest (fence) textures. Another goal is to improve the…

4-Player Quake3 splitscreen on a PC Spearmint Quake 3 is an ioquake3 spin-off with Turtlemod heritage known for splitscreen, but it also offers much more. The goal is a platform for easy modding and new games. Several features that were hard-wired in original Quake 3 are now independently moddable without touching the engine code.

Last of the V8s Developed by Vera Visions and based on the FTEQW engine, The Wastes is an upcoming FPS featuring hot vehicles, a wide range of armaments, and multiplayer mayhem in the quest for basic survival.
