2/14/1 - from bluesnews

• id Software has released an updated version of their Quake III: Team Arena Map Pack that came out earlier this week (story). The new version includes the updated version of Hal9000's Team Arena map 'An Iteration of TA Hell' because "The original map contained a play bug which is fixed in the enclosed version. The new map file has a different file name. Additionally, the file contains config scripts that have been updated to use the new map file." You can either download the fixed map at 5.0 MB from id's ftp server or the updated complete pack at 15.9 MB.
• There is a scheme afoot for a small tourney on Saturday featuring these new maps, so practice up!

• id Software has released Quake III: Team Arena Map Pak 1, which is now available as a free download. Working together with id, some of the most talented mapmakers in the Quake community have created four team-style maps that have been polished and balanced for the Team Arena game modes.
  
  The pak, which weighs in at 15.8 meg, can be downloaded for redistribution from:

2/11/1 - fragula wrap-up report:

• 15 computers networked, 13 clients.  We played all Q3 Team Arena Maps as single flag CTF, then went through a good rotation of UT Deathmatch maps.  Play then broke into some simultaneous 4x4 evolution and No One Lives Forever.  And oh yeah, we had to unlock and overclock some Athlon Thunderbirds!
• Expect game statistics sometime Monday night.

• Napster chief executive Hank Barry has confirmed people will soon have to pay a membership fee for Napster. It's not yet known how much this fee will be, and Barry didn't say when people would have to start paying but according to German publisher Bertelsmann it could be as early as June. Napster feels confident people will still use the service, even if they have to pay for it. -from shugashack

• Microsoft has released a new multiplayer map for MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, their stomping 3D action/sim that was released last Fall (thanks GameSpyDaily, who have a FilePlanet mirror here). The map, entitled Scrub, comes as a 1.3 MB download and is described as "Designed specifically for large-scale battles involving eight or more players, this map consists of a desert environment with wide open spaces and high plateaus."
• Epic's Unreal Technology site has been updated by Loki's Daniel Vogel with the release of new beta Direct3D and OpenGL renderers for Unreal Tournament. The tiny 70 KB zip-file contains the two .DLLs that need to be placed in your UT System folder, and word is "The new D3D renderer uses DirectX8 which should result in improved performance due to improved texture management. It also now supports the DXT1 compressed textures from the 2nd UT CD. The OpenGL renderer is now up- to date with the D3D renderer and needs some settings added to the OpenGLDrv setting of your UnrealTournament.ini file." The settings are listed in detail on the UT site.
