NEWSGROUPS LINE:


rec.games.computer.quake.quake-c Modifying Quake with Quake-C.



RATIONALE: rec.games.computer.quake.quake-c



The computer game Quake, by id Software (the makers of Doom), is more


customizable than its predecessors Doom, Heretic, Hexen and other


games based on the same engine, as the behavior of a game is


controlled by scripts written in Quake-C, a language using a syntax


similar to C. Quake-C is currently discussed in several places,


including the existing group rec.games.computer.quake.editing and the


quake-c mailing list. The mailing list gets up to 100 messages per


day and has a high number of subscribers (more than 400 at the time of


this writing). Due to the high traffic, many people had to unsubscribe


and the list is now fully moderated. A newsgroup would provide a more


efficient way of sharing the information. Also, this would move the


Quake-C topics out of the r.g.c.q.editing group, which could then


concentrate mostly on level- and model-editing discussions.



CHARTER: rec.games.computer.quake.quake-c



This group is for discussing Quake-C, the language which defines


Quake's behavior. All technical topics related to Quake-C are


allowed, such as programming tricks and special effects, how to enable


some features, etc. Level editing topics do not belong here and


should be posted in .editing.



Excerpts of source code may be posted here, as long as they are


reasonably short (not more than a few dozen lines). Longer scripts or


compiled code should only be announced here and posted in a binaries


group (alt.binaries.games.quake) or uploaded on a FTP or WWW server.



END CHARTER.
