Notepad++ Language file for Game Configs
(This was originally posted here on EmSixTeen's blog)
Prompted by a thread on the QuakeLive forums asking if there were any programs with syntax highlighting for editing QL configs, and the fact that there isn't, I just went off and made a custom language file for Notepad++.
I went through the configs from the games I play, and added in some extra things to make those work too. It's not perfect and I'm no guru, but it's better than just plain old black text on a white background. The colours need tweaked, but they're workable at the moment.
So yeah, this should provide rough syntax highlighting for your game config files in Notepad++. Screenshots:
Tested with configs from:
- QuakeLive
- Quake 3 CPMa
- Call of Duty 2
- Call of Duty 4
- Counter-Strike 1.6
- Counter-Strike: Source

Visual HUD public beta
Hooray, namad continued his awesome work on Visual HUD public alpha and released his public beta. This means you can now download a custom made hud and load it into Quake Live.

Visual HUD public alpha
I love it when people take on a project that tackles the difficulty for new players - or just makes it easy for the lazy 
- by creating something for their favorite game. Namad is such a person who started working on Visual HUD: a Quake Live online HUD generator.
I can relate to such projects, when releasing my first version of the config generator, I had to fix a huge amount of bugs, in little spare time, with almost weekly updates and changes to the commands and variables in Quake Live. That was even during closed beta. I can only cheer for a fellow gamer who took the bull by the horns in releasing a HUD generator. And when that person asks me to promote this thing, of course I will spam it wherever I can. 
Basic QL pickup CTF
There's always room for improvement. Players want to get better, guides and tutorials want to get better in order to allow players to get better.
In the past, we've posted two Capture The Flag guides before:
- Beginner's overview of CTF going over all the basic ctf principles: a summary on positions, items exclusive to CTF (Arena CTF to be precise) and basic team communication.
- Positions and CTF explaining a more in-dept overview of offense, defense and midfield support.
We'd like to add one more:
Basic QL CTF guidelines for rookies aims to help new players to be able to compete in the pickup games arranged via IRC on #qlpickup.eu (Quakenet).
