Universal Server Project

Hey mate! Are you here Baker?

Regarding fteqwsv...
Add this to your config file or whatever:

alias sv_progs progs

sv_progs is now supported.

Regarding the balance between NQ and QW clients, you can set pm_bunnyspeedcap to 1. QW players will no longer be able to endlessly accelerate.

Can't realistically do anything about qw prediction, other than ask QW players to switch it off/spam them with stuffcmds. If you want to annoy QW players, you can set sv_nomsec 1 on the server to kill all physics differences, as well as inform them that they might wish to set cl_nopred.

Who's the new guy?

Cool stuff Yeah, with sv_progs support there isn't hardly anything about this that isn't Quakeworld compatible too. Except it doesn't send the vote-aliases on every map change. Eventually it will or I'll make it a QuakeC compile option.

... when I get time to work on this again.

Hmm nice!

Since 90% of the QW players are not in the US i think running an FTEQWSV that can host a nq progs.dat and still allow both protocols to connect would be fair.

Abyss of Pandemonium is closed source. I asked the developer back in 2008 when he made the mod free if he'd open source the QuakeC and explained the benefits and how it could be used; he didn't want to --- so I guess you can stick a fork in that one and call it dead for all online multiplayer purposes.

This project will be updated soon enough, but it's a few days out. Real life time unavaialability caused by such things as snow, the silly President's day holiday, Valentines day and such ...

Weenieville modded Painkeep source

Hi,

Just discovered your site after a near-fatal attack of nostalgia made me go hunting up the "old" Painkeep mod. I ended up finding the Weenieville Painkeep server (I have no association with them other than wishing I had more time to play on it) and then I found this Universal Server project. So overall, I've been having a pretty awesome week, nostalgia-wise. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the Weenieville server is running some really clever (to me) updates to the Painkeep mod - it seems like a natural to include in this project. Plus, the source seems to be readily available: Index of /pksource

Just my .02,

Tim

Good job Baker, keep up the good work. This is really starting to get interesting, especially when CA and ThreeWave get added.

Universal Server v2:

No new mods but 2 new modes votable:

1. ffawepstay (ffa but with weapon stay, you know ... deathmatch 3)
2. coopmode - play against the monsters

Upgraded progs and source for a server already running Universal R1:

http://www.quake-1.com/files/univers...upgrade_r2.zip

Entire fresh install for a server that isn't running Universal:

http://www.quake-1.com/files/univers...r2_gamedir.zip

I wish I had more time, I should have done this a week ago or more. Sigh.

I held off from adding ThreeWave to this for the moment. Likely, included mods in the next version:

1. ThreeWave CTF
2. Deathmatch Plus - the tripwires mod
3. Headhunters in "pub" mode (i.e. pub = no custom models)
4. Zerstorer Coop

Yes, I know about the auto-download thing. I'm being slow because I have a lot of things I'm trying to do at the same time. It sucks!

Known issues:

Items aren't removed (like runes) upon going to the start map when coop is active. The start level exit teleporters aren't working either. These are simple ... fix them real quick.

How is "slidefox.bsp.bsp" (which doesn't exist obviously) being triggered in slide? Doesn't really matter now that I've set sv_defaultmap slstart (which will change the map in the event a map isn't found).

CA+ is closed source. Inclusion is impossible. I have to modify the source for Universal Server.

Even though Mungo Clan Arena "sucks", since it is open source it can grow to suck less.

And all of the Universal Server mods will get more refined because they can all be finessed at once.

[BizarroEvade]

Original Clan Arena will probably be in the one after that. [Original Clan Arena lacks most of the niceties of CAx].

Is that the Mungo Clan Arena? I tried put it up on my server, but I must have configured it wrong or something, the choose team menu never pops up. Also, as much as I hated it, I am looking for ca+ (i think that was the name, clan berries guy did it) to make available also. I know the source isn't available for that one, and I think it was difficult to even get the progs for it. I'm pretty sure that one was riddled with cheats and stupid superkicks, etc..

rook wont share his source code?
