  • HELP!! Making a maps pak for Quake

    Ok, I'm trying to make a map pack for Quake. It works well so far but some map names are too long. The lastest name is 14 characters long, but pakexplorer only supports 8. Is there any program that will let me make paks with 14 character long names? If you could post a link, I would highly appriciate it. Thanks,
    f0qer

    Yes, PakScape in Files -> Mapping/Developer
    Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee.

    So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

      omfg thank you so much
      edit: blah, Quake can't seem to open the maps in the pak. It reads the pak, but it doesn't recgonize the maps inside. Maybe I need a progs.dat, but I have no idea of how to code such a thing, or even coding at all.

        Sure Quake can recognize maps inside paks. Assuming you are making a gamedir type of map set you would do the following:

        1. Make c:\quake\foq-maps
        2. Make a folder called c:\quake\foq-maps\maps
        3. Put your maps in the above folder
        4. Make a pak0.pak in c:\quake\foq-maps\pak0.pak, the pak0.pak would need to have a subfolder called maps with your maps in them.
        5. Start Quake c:\quake\yourquake.exe -game foq-maps

        None of this requires a progs.dat. To get better insight on how to do this, check out the structure of the pak0.pak in Event Horizon by JPL to see how to organize the files:

              At least that was mildly understandable.

                  Unlike yours of course.

                  Double posts are bad m'kay.

                      That's no excuse, I look at threads that dont have new posts (nothing too old) all the time, and see edits on plenty of posts.

                        Bank, whether or not you realize it, FOQ-A has driven several people insane in the past that are anal about forum posts.

                        Those people are now in the nuthouse and FOQ-A is still here. They tried everything on him and I think they banned him from the forum, made it so he couldn't have avatars and stuff at both Singed and TLTQ.

                        Btw ... you have not met either Chaz or Jean-Luc. Rest assured those 2 were in a special league of their own in being forum trolls of a level you cannot even imagine. They would criticize FOQ-A. But FOQ-A is the one that is still around.

                        Thinking you are going to change FOQ-A's posting habits is a lost cause. Most of them are pretty informative anyway, so who cares, right?
