hansschmucker: My main problem is that the web part is still fairly buggy and will often take me to the wrong pages... looking at the code, it seems to be an absolute mess. Whoever is coding this probably a Windows programmer who thinks "how different can Javascript be". Well. A lot.
There's also some rather funnny stuff like the "encrypted" PK3 files :) Well, encrypted is probably saying too much: Apparently they use a simple XOR type encryption, but since the ZIP header is standardized, much of the key is already known (XOR operates on the bit level. Source bit XOR key bit EQUALS encrypted bit and encrypted bit XOR key bit EQUALS source bit, so if the source data and the encrypted data are known you can easily derive the key from it).
I'm a bit disappointed about the code quality. Quake3 deserves better.

Wow a fellow programmer! :) Yeah the code is in a disarray but perhaps only because its under constant change. Once the sum of its parts will take final shape they'll likely clean it up for the public release. Or so I'd like to hope. XD
@Ralackk: You're welcome.

Shhh... you agreed to a NDA... remember?

I've always wanted to quote that on the Internet.

i used to be a beta tester for Goldeneye Source, before they announced they would have beta testers publicly.
I feel like I really helped to shape some of those maps and game modes due to ideas I brought forth.
Anyway, the relevance here, is that among the few of us who were beta testers, we all had to say "You do not talk about Fight Club!"

Same here, 'clock. I'm an alpha tester for the Windows version of Boxee (you have to be invited for that version), and I'm still trying it, and it's a blast. The difference is that I can shoot my mouth off for as long as I want to anyone who will listen, but id made me agree to a NDA of which I understood maybe 0.237% of. id made a big mistake in making us hold out tongue... after all, games should be enjoyed by everyone, no?

Yep, did that a couple of times too (although you can find my name more often in the credits for PalmOS games :) ) and these were really strict NDAs. But I usually see it like this. If I get a reminder outside the TOS, I accept and honor the NDA. If they chose to hide it away in the TOS, I don't think they're really serious about it anyway,

Ralackk: I was holding out hoping to get in from signing up to the beta as not to use up someones invite. Still no luck yet so if anyone does happen to have a spare invite that you don't want I'd be grateful.

Keiner von beiden ist deutsch, warum also die deutsche Antwort?

Just wondering why you're replying in mock-German when neither of the people you're talking to is German.

Because I get bored with typing the usual English everyday....
