Yes, I figured it out. I didn't have colormap or pak0.pak. Man playing quake is bad, I can't remember any of the commands or anything. It took me like 2 games of DM to realize I didn't have always run on...
I was forever HPB and always used different aliases. One Christmas we finally got cable at my house and, as a stocking favorite of mine, I got Chocolate Oranges in my stocking. Since I was eating them while quaking, I used the name 0r4ng3... and since I was finally recognized as 'somebody' in q2, it just stuck.
To be honest, I don't think he will be expected to get his vision back. His only chance would be the possibility of regenerating stem cells, but we aren't there yet in today's technologies.
At least, that's what my studies in Biology have led to my conclusion to be.
Remember, this is just my guess since I didn't want to pound Dinsum with questions and was able to find out he basically has permanent brain damage. The visual cortex lies in the back of the head, so he must've hit it very hard upon contact.
My biggest fascination is the human brain. And it's capable of amazing things, so to say he may never see again isn't necessarily true, but having clear sight is probably not likely.
Dinsum got on a few days ago. Said Granny is coming home in December. But he will be blind for quite sometime. Apparently he had damage in his visual cortex of his brain, and you know how nerve cells don't like to regenerate...
I wish him the best of luck and maybe when technology comes around he will be able to see again.
I remember talking to some guys at a q2 LAN some years ago and they were discussing how q2 has a .2 second delay in rail as standard. Even with a 2 ping. Also, if you'll notice, at least on my q2, the crosshair is slightly above where the ammo will hit when you're up close.
