Today Quake Live has received another series of updates, mostly to the arenas, however the biggest change in this update is that it’s now possible to buy a Quake Live subscription for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months which are also available in gift tokens. This makes it possible to buy a Quake Live subscription for a friend without the need to login to his account.
Every first monday of the month, the mappool for Quake Live’s standard players will be cycled. This will give freebies the chance to play different maps and to give them a taste of (some of) the premium content. Click read more to see this month’s 21 selected maps or read the newspost on QuakeLive.com.
Clanbase opened the sign-ups for the EC26 (for those who didn’t want to bust their brain over XXVI) and they have recently made a post about the map pool. Sign-ups will stay open until the 9th of September. More notable is that the mappicks will be done by a public poll, supervised by chubz. Group stage games will be played in a Bo3 (Best of 3) format, from the playoffs on, games will be Bo5.
I get people from time to time asking me how my config is set up. They usually inquire about the PiP (picture in picture) setup the most, so I thought about giving a little behind the scenes view and explain how I work. First of all, I use 2 machines to get PiP going and there’s a few downsides with my method, but we’ll get to that soon. I have a Dell laptop of about 5 years old, and a desktop that I have very recently upgraded. These combined give me some flexibilty in terms of streaming and being able to do other things in the meanwhile.
Almost 2 years ago we made an article about namad‘s VisualHUd, then in Alpha stage. Now namad announced that he is working on the HUD generator again to work on some new features and bug reports. The UI of the generator will be redesigned and made clearer, and the generated code should be of better quality.
You can find the current VisualHUD generator here.
User freddejones has made an ESR thread where he introduces his new Android app named Quake Live Timer. This little app enables you to practice item timing and calculating the time between item spawns. It does not show a countdown timer on the smartphone that will show when the next item will be up. What it does do is give you exercises based on item, all you need to do is quickly figure out when the next item will respawn.
