He was writing a book, or at least in the initial thought processes of putting one together.!

Some of his stuff made it into an interesting article in Architecture magazine back in August--I think the board was down at the time. I have a .pdf of the article.

Give me a day or two and I'll upload it to my site and post a link if no one else has a handy link... :)

The book is a long-term project for Harry. Also, just because you write a book doesn't mean it gets published. We can hope, tho.

I still have a copy of the pdf, as well. My family was very excited about that article, but I still think they don't understand at all what I do for a living. :)

Just send them a game that you've worked on and say, "I made all the worlds that you run around in." They should be able to figure that out. That's what I tell my family and they seem to get it.

Heh, if he doesn't get it published we'll just have to persuade him to post it. :icon30:

He posted in the Mac forum in April asking how to get Q3A running in OSX after a rather late switch from OS9 :D

http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4305

and his last name is Allen :p

I thought he'd posted here not so long ago asking where various mappers had got to. Or was that over on the Map-Center?

The original article must've been posted here some time around the end of August last year, because the pdf copies I have are dated at the very start of September (all before this place went offline).

I think Harry might've posted in one of the other forums here and that's what I'm remembering, but it wasn't until after Q3W was up and running again.

Of course, I could just be :confused:
