Things are hopping, id's Christian "Disruptor" Antkow updated
his .plan with word on the official moderated
Quake III Arena messageboard
(temporary location.). Here's the poop:
I've written a message board for use in discussing the impending Q3Test
releases. It's primary function will be a central place for you to post bugs so that we
can quickly peruse the boards and see what some of the main problems are. It's still in
development, there are a few problems that I still need to iron out, but it's mostly
functional.
I'm interested in seeing how it performs under a high load. I originally used MS Access
MDB format, but became frustrated with file locking issues with a minimal load of
activity, so I spent most of the afternoon today installing MS SQL Server 7 and adjusting
the code to work with it. Coming from a database background (Oracle at my previous job), I
was quite impressed with SQL Server 7. Really easy to set up, and the performance seems
very good.
Anyway, if you want to beat on it, it's temporarily located at;
http://underworld.idsoftware.com/cgi-win/webcon.exe
If any of you would like to use that as a discussion forum, and generate some data for the
database, I'd appreciate it. If you find any serious bugs or get any error messages,
please post in the "Q3Test: Bugs" forum.
The board will be moderated by id staff to retain it's focus. For general Quake 3
discussion, I highly recommend the Quake 3 messageboard at
