Quake Wii Get Its Mods On

Eluan has been hard at work on Quake Wii, making a number of improvements. There's something of a changelog after the break, but the most interesting thing is that users are reporting much greater mod compatibility.

The new release has a big increase in mod compatibility (ive just noticed.) I have tested out [everything] from weapons to bots, and they work [beautifully].

(except for a quick reduction of framerate in a thick strip on the top of the screen using some mods, like bots.)

What does this mean? It means a massive library of quake mods could soon be yours for the asking. Hundreds and hundreds of maps and tweaks could turn Quake Wii into one of the longer-lasting games available on the system.

Excellent news. Discussion of networking elements is still taking place, and there are even dreams of Quake 2 and 3 dancing in developers' heads.

"Changelog"

Shouldn't freeze - ever.
Pressing 1 (or Z in the gamecube controller) shows scores
Power button now works (forgot about it :P)
Model bounding box fixes (no more dissapearing models)
HBC-ready
Command line easy to manage - still needs a frontend for the end user, though.

Simple on-screen keyboard
View locking so that you can aim freely without turning
TV overscan adjustment working for the GX build
Simple, ugly brightness control
