  • rage/speaknow/newdm's removed maps

    What happened to all the custom maps that used to be on RAGE.QUAKEONE.COM?
    and speaknow.quakeone.com?
    and other quake1 servers?
    are they just copying Shmack, which as long as I've been on it (since 2011, on and off) has never run any custom maps?


    It seems like even the newdm server (I remember there's two of them, don't remember which is which by name) dropped the massive list of custom maps that they added because, in the mod, they adapted a boatload of custom bot routes for custom maps made for the Frikbot mod, which NEWDM uses... and they like, run only default Q1 maps now...
    Which is a shame, because there were A LOT of frikbot-compatible maps used on the server.


    There used to be more than just ultrav.bsp, and a2.bsp, and 'pope5'
    and anything named 'castle' or 'library' and junk.
    You'd think with all the new 'modern' quake1 clients running around-- most of which can download maps in-client (instead of having to snag them from another site on a web browser)-- people would be more inclined to run custom maps on servers, or play custom maps on servers, not less.

    Check cax.quakeitup.com for CAx.

    Also check ffany.quakeone.com

      If you find any of the custom maps you think are missing from the following servers that were there in the first place please let me know and I'll do my best to get them back on the server:
      NewYork (Newyork.servequake.com ports 26001-6 or ffany.quakeone.com),
      Damage in the UK (Damage.servequake.com),
      Bigfoot/EuroQuake in Holland (bigfoot.servequake.com), or
      Flanders in Belgium (flanders.servegame.org ports 26002-4)

      Kind regards

      Monty

        No, I don't have a list of the maps.
        I was hoping the server admins themselves could... well, I guess that's being selfish.


        If I'd thought of that I'd have taken screenshots ingame of the 'warp to level' options in the voting menus.
        And I'm more familiar with quakeone's CAX and DM/duel servers and the newdm servers than most others, sorry, Burns.


        My suggestion?
        Take a look at the old server logs and see if there's any way to grab a list of the 'available voteable maps' from that.


        I do have a bunch of old Q1 DM maps, but unfortunately, they're from the singleplayer section of the old pub/idgames2/ mirrors that used to be around a lot of the web... into which many multi-player maps where categorized by mistake.
        I have them sorted by quake1 default textures scheme, custom texture scheme, and MP specifically, on an external hard drive...
        it's around here somewhere...
        but none of them are among the myriad of other DM maps I kept seein' on servers.
        Hey wait a minute...
        I still have a boatload of DM maps in my Quake1/base/ dir loaded up in to custom-made .pak files.


        There was something called 'maps 4 baker' that was a compiled pack of maps in an self-extracting .exe archive type thinger, that apprently, had the maps needed to play on one of the NEWDM servers... and it came in different versions depending on which maps were loaded onto the server at the time.
        I'll see if I can't find it later, but it's... probably on the external harddrive, probably in an old downloads folder.

          Others & myself attempted to attack this head on a few months ago, and now is the time for our efforts to shine....

            Oh snap nicely done to you and your friends on that one Mindfieldzx!
            You've got the maps sorted by individual server usage in the 'DM maps' section and it looks like you've got Q1 clients and other stuff in there as well...

              So glad to witness the first instance where it helped out!

              Just a reminder, anyone who wants to contribute to this project is more than welcome. There is always room for improvement Solecord has graciously offered to host everything here at Quakeone.com when we feel we have applied all the elbow grease / polishing that can be contemplated, and I still plan on taking him up on that offer.

                Wait, what? What's this Dropbox link? Is this an attempt to salvage some obliterated Quake files?

                I have a maps folder weighing in at 814MiB made up of 677 files. Not sure what all is in there, but I believe it's made up of maps I've collected including maps for RA, CAx, Rquake, DM etc...

                I also see a bunch of waypoints in a newdm folder. I could contribute if needed.
