Same thing here. But now I'm creating a Counter-Strike map of the school I'm at.
And I've gotta say it's fun to use QuArK especially when it comes to scaling or
duplicating things. (The building is basically a patchwork of premade parts.)

Who the heck is Netcraft? I'm currently involved in a Delphi project that makes
money and uses a lot of cool features that are not available in C++ or MFC.
ActionLists is just one to mention. Then there is the JEDI Project. Sure I miss
<template> support, but the GUI editing part is just excellent in Delphi.

Lol, that was the most stupid thing I ever did in my time working on QuArK.
'Almost' in this case means that the models were loaded fine with correct
texturing in their 'default' state. I just realised that QuArK needed a new
model format, because loading the animations, skins, body parts within the old
Quake 1 format would have killed every swap file. *g*
At some point I lost interest in writing a whole new model format and deleted
the almost-working model display for reasons I don't understand myself. Maybe it
was just because the models didn't show up perfectly. (Some were even offset
because of missing animation support.)

Good luck with your new projects Peter! I left QuArK a bit earlier, but I
returned. There is always time to change the road your on ;). omg I love this
