Sure is, public domainish: http://speeddemosarchive.com/dzip/download.html

How else could great engines like reQuiem have built-in dz support :)

how do you rip a cd that is mixed music/data on windows? i suddenly felt paranoid about loosing my quake CD so I wanted to create an image that was the whole thing, but I always end up with 78MB images (eg: just the data part).

iirc it always says that (i think it might be a 64-bit only bug?) but it does actually work. been a while since i used it though.

I don't think I've seen my Quake CD since 1997. I'm pretty sure I know which box it's packed away in though.

Have fun... If you make a perfect rip, I want it. ;)

mwh: The problem is that it cannot extract it either.

$ md5sum demo1.dem && rm demo1.dem

$ dzip-linux -x demo1.dz

Ah OK Then

I might try to have a poke if work is especially boring today.

Wow, that is way more complicated than I thought... I'll let you know how it worked out...

Ah, the version I have on my disk that I built from source at some point in the mists of time says "CRC checksum error! Archive is broken!" but extracts correctly; downloading the one from sda.com does not.

what if you run a vintage .exe of it with wine?

Q1 DM Custom Map Server

#25912 posted by mezmorki on 2015/09/01 04:48:03

Hello - I'm in the progress of getting a dedicated server and up and running, which I'd like to setup with a rotation of custom DM maps. It's been a long time of going solo with the Omicon bots, and it would be fun to get something more going. I have a few local friends that are interested as well.

I'm thinking of running it as a ProQuake server with running the omicron bot mod to populate things if it's a bit empty of players. Not sure if there is a better bot package to run or not, but Omicron has a few nice features built in as well.

I also need some maps. I was thinking of doing a 12 map rotation with fairly short matches, maybe a timelimit of 15 minutes and fraglimit 30. I'm thinking the maps would be in the 3-6 player size range. Here's a stab at the maplist:

- bovine
- aggressr
- efdm8
- lundm1
- baldm8
- aghast
- alcyone
- gomdm6
- auhsm2
- oma
- rf
- ultrav

The above are some of my favorite all-time maps, plus a few newer one's sprinkled in. I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Cheers!

Two Things

#25913 posted by adib on 2015/09/01 05:54:50

1- Do you know the Reaperbot? It's old, but I don't know if it's still newer than Omicron.

2- May I offer my DM level called Cepheus? See how you like it:

Anyway, let us know when the server is up.

You could add my Deck 16 remake if you wanted -

Mwh: the sda one is broken for you too? I am on 64 bit but don't remember problems earlier. Maybe I never checked...

I'll try wine.

mezmorki: you probably want to use a sw server instead. Trinca has waypoints for pretty much maps with frogbot. Check out the kenya and quenya tournaments for more great map suggestions.

Qw Dammit... Mvdsv Or Something.

Map Hunt!

#25920 posted by Mezmorki on 2015/09/02 17:16:45

Does anyone have a link or copy they can post of the map:

"carddm2b"

I have a carddm2 but the "b" version is a rexture I'm trying to hunt down. This is a map by Card0.

#25921 posted by Spirit on 2015/09/02 17:56:30

I have it but you are going to have to prove that it was publically released before I can upload it. Or someone could ask Cardo if he is still in tf?

#25922 posted by adib on 2015/09/02 18:39:56

Cloudy day. Some dude take a walk downtown taking pictures of floor, walls and facade ornaments.

@ Spirit

#25923 posted by Mezmorki on 2015/09/02 18:44:02

Here's the link to Cardo's website back on PQ where he lists it being uploaded onto planetquake. File links obviously broken now:

For That Matter ...

#25924 posted by Mezmorki on 2015/09/02 19:08:39

I also can't find Danzdm1 (also listed on Cardo's website link above).

Perfect!
