It's not true that "only the old guard" is mapping. Some of the newer mappers aren't visible to you though because they focus on maps for modding projects that don't have much presence on this old web forum.

Here's a good example:

There's also AMC, and Alien Armageddon, and the upcoming serious sam TC, and others


SPYmaps is doing God's work working on Ion Fury user maps. I still think that the best user map I have played for the game is Hong Kong however everything that SPYmaps has ever posted is absolute gold.

After all these years, who is still here?

What's going on in your lives?



I'm here occasionally. Just keeping a low profile, working and enjoying life as best as I can.

EDIT: Oh and I don't have a Windows desktop PC anymore. I switched over to MacBook Air M2 2023 15 inch and I'm going Mac moving forward. If I wan't to play games on my MacBook. MacSourcePorts baby!

I needed to take a sabbatical from Duke4 and online communities in general, outside of my close circle of friends. Had to deal with the threat of going homeless and that threat still hasn't gone away; just delayed for a month or two. Hopefully we can think of something in the meantime. Our good friend Impie has actually paid for me to be an editor on some of his books, which has helped a lot.

Currently suffering through my second round of covid. I've seen more phlegm in the past week than I have my entire life.


What have I missed while I've been gone?

I've been absent for quite a while due to a combination of switching to Linux in 2021 and taking many months to figure everything out, getting a Switch console and obsessively catching up with many RPG games that I prefer to play portable (I wanted a Steam Deck for that, but unfortunately it is unavailable for purchase in my region altogether), and also getting into home servers and self hosting plenty of services, particularly my own media server using Jellyfin. I've started to crawl back into pc gaming recently and so been peeking back at these forums; loved the Ion Fury expansion and currently replaying it over and over.

I have all my build engine source ports running under Linux again and kind of ready to go back to some good ol retro gaming... just waiting for my new mouse to arrive so I can complete my new wireless setup and play all these shooters once more.

Oh hey I also jumped ship to Linux around that time! Jellyfin is indeed cool and I will not be paying money to Plex thank you very much.

I chose Arch Linux as my first distro, which I've been running happily since; started on XFCE but eventually moved over to Hyprland to try out Wayland and just been so smooth for my multi-monitor setup. As for my three servers, they all run Debian (including my VPS machine and 2 actual hardware boxes that run headles). These days I live in a terminal and vim most of the time.

Jellyfin has been my favorite thing to host by far: building the server and selecting the right components, figuring out how to get hardware acceleration working, setting it up remotely with a reverse proxy... all great fun. What drove me to host it was the excessive amount of money streaming services asked so I could get 4K HDR content, and how insanely bad their support for Linux is all around.

But circling it back to build source ports, I've been quite happy with how easy it is to build them from source, and I even wrote my own bash script to automate the task of rebuilding them pulling the latest upstream changes.

I'm using Endeavor OS myself atm. I started with Arch initially but after having to reinstall the OS a couple of times I switched to Manjaro and then to Endeavor because I didn't want the hassle of setting up Arch every single time. Nothing fancy just on basic bitch KDE on Wayland. I don't really live inside the terminal though I do use vim for note taking. Also Jellyfin is great.

Still there, but rarely visit the place, mostly lurking. Barely have any time due to work and being a parent.
