Chaos Lives!

I'm really glad to see Chaos is still alive in some form. I used to create maps for the Quake 2 version, and I was just thinking about them the other day. One Google search later, I see this is STILL a thing and my maps are still included with the Chaos maps install. Amazing!

I'd love to try to create more maps for Q2, but it's hard to find map editors that work anymore. There are a couple still around, but they aren't quite the same as the one I originally used.

As for UT, I don't have a PC that could currently run any of the new stuff you're developing.

Anyhow, cheers to all of you for keeping the chaotic dream alive!

Hi TDC!

Thanks for stopping by. Always enjoyed your maps.

Let us know if you ever decide to upgrade that PC (I upgraded just for this project). We can always use maps.

Moo!

I am sure you will be even happier to know that the Q2 Chaos clan still lives on, and has regular matches.

They should be able to sort you out with some editing tools for Q2 if you want to revive your old skills.
You may find there are newer community made tools that help. I know the UT99 scene makes use of many new tools for working with the old engines.
It would be kinda cool to see the new logos in some new oldskool maps.

Thanks guys! I will hop into that FB group.

I have seen an updated Qoole floating around, but it crashes every time I try to start a new map. I'm sure I can figure something out. Thanks for the tip about UT99. I think I remember trying to make a UT99 map for Chaos, but never completely got off the ground with it.

Anyhow, I'll do some digging and see what I can manage in my free time.
