Any Quake players out there? Specifically anyone interested in Quake
editing? I've often thought it'd be rather fun to have a Shadowrun-based
Quake mod, maybe based around a Bug Hunt type scenario. I've got some
map-designing and skinning experience (and a *small* amount of modelling
experience)... anyone else interested?

Obviously, we'd have to ask FASA nicely if we ever wanted to *distribute*
a SR-based mod, but I don't see why we can't have a go in the privacy of
our own hard-drives...

Thought about it, but if I did it I'd use the Quake II
or Unreal engine. Quake is outdated. Personally, I don't
think a first person perspective is the best choice for
Shadowrun. IMHO, the best Shadowrun game would use an
engine like the one in Diablo or Fallout (Top down 3/4
perspective).

Yes, we'd definitely need permission, especially since
FASA Interactive is working on their own SR game.

Don't know if this is what you mean, but one of the deathmatch mods for
Quake 2 has a rigger as one of the types of characters you can play.
