Hey everyone, BattleMech's quake engines didn't want to play nice on modern computers and versions of windows, so I uploaded a fixed version that appears to function properly. You can find it in the Files section. Sorry the game didn't work for so long!
Make sure to delete the old folder instead of just unzipping on top of it, in case some old files cause trouble.
Enjoy!
This mod = awesome.
Thanks for letting me play this earlier, Cheapy!
Cheapalert says to find him over at Gamecache.net. Apparently he has some forum there...?
I'll have to look it up.
I wish I had the time to work on my mods. College is killer.
I just wish I could figure out and fix this nasty multiplayer bug that screws up the view for everyone but the guy hosting the game. :(
If you need some Battle Mech forums, for now you can go to the Inside3D forums. That's where I hang out a lot, and most anything that gets mentioned about Battle Mech happens there.
I've been so lazy.
It'll be up soon enough. Remind me at I3D if I forget. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I don't like the bug where the bots just stand there. I don't understand why it happens, either. Sometimes they won't do anything to you until you shoot first. Crazy. :)
Good start. If you need any help, you know where to turn.
Cheers!
I find it interesting that the only reason the author could find for people making mods is to either get glory or because they're unsatisfied with the game as is. I think you're leaving out a large portion of the modding community.
I mod for quake to create things and to develop new things for myself and others to enjoy. I like to play my mods Jeht, Battle Mech, and Galactix, and I find it very delightful when someone else plays them and likes them. Galactix just got a creativity award and a huge amount of coverage, as did Battle Mech, but that's not the reason I made them. Glory is nice, and it's fun to improve on the game, but to me it's a hobby, a fun thing I do.
I find myself wondering if the author of that article was even a modder himself...
cast2 is included in the download, but wasn't an official map, because it has no entities yet and still had problems. But, if you finish it up and fix the stuff that went wrong, and take the suggestions from func_messageboard (see my post in your profile), then I'll happily include it on the Battle Mech webpage for download.
I really want that map for an Infiltration level.
I sent you an e-mail to try and help you with the turning head problem. Hope it helps.

Hey, bro. I've got a link for ya:
Click here to visit func_messageboard (qmap). I've posted a link to a page I put up for your cast2 map and asked for opinions. You'll be able to read them there (there's one so far).
And if you register a username, you can post messages back.
But be sure to not start a discussion thread, just post in the threads that are already there. The general abuse and mapping help threads are the best ones.
I guess he didn't use the new exclusive screenshots, because I didn't have them converted yet (so it was a huge pain, and a huge download). You can view them here.
Enjoy the release, y'all!
I'll have brand-new screenshots as soon as I can find a way to convert & upload them (my usual net connection is down momentarily).
It's called "Total Conversions" now. Thanks for reminding me to do that, I've been meaning to but I'm kinda stupid about doing stuff that makes sense. :)
Sorry. The download location was at www.qexpo.com,, but I forgot my own homepage.
*slaps head*
Fixing now.
The new Jeht was released during the opening day of QExpo. I hope y'all enjoy it!
Galactix has been released! It's a day late unfortunately, but it's in one piece and should work pretty well. Enjoy everybody!
I've decided on the date and have posted it in the mod profile. The mod won't be near finished (there aren't even any bots to fight), but it will be fun to run around, shoot monsters, and play with the weapons a little.
I've decided on a release date for Galactix. It's in the mod's profile, and it most likely won't change.
It doesn't look like I'll have the time to create any spectacular boss fights, but the rest of the mod is ready for release.
The official release date is decided and displayed in the mod profile. See you all there!
In the mean time, I look forward to any maps and model submissions I can get.

I've been programming Quake mods for many years (over 10). It's just for fun, and I love to create. Other games I play include: D&D, Starcraft, Warcraft III & DOTA, RPGs including FF7, Stella Deus, Front Mission 4, and others, Ratchet & Clank series, Armored Core series, Half-Life series, Magic: The Gathering, Neverwinter Nights 2, Unreal Tournament, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime series, Paper Mario series ...and many, many more... I haven't done a lot of game development for a while because I got a job doing computer programming all day, and I get home really mentally tired and struggle to stay interested. But I do play games very often, and I still write down game ideas in hopes that someday I'll be able to make them.
