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

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? 

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! 

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. 

 

dzip.exe with wine works fine

Yeah, sda download is broken.

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. 

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? 

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

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

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

Here you go: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/maps/multiplayer/carddm2b.zip 

bsp is in https://www.quaddicted.com/files/maps/multiplayer/ but I will upload the zip instead

Thanks! 

Just so everyone knows ... I've been going through all my old maps and dumping their information (release date, author, map/file name, etc.) dumped into a pretty fancy google spreadsheet. It will include links to the files and also thumbnail images that link to a full HD image of the map.

Basically, I'm taking the content from my old Prominence site, putting it into an excel table, supplementing it with more maps, etc. What's nice is that people can export out a copy and then sort/filter the data however they want, generate PDF reference sheets, etc. Should be groovy. 

you are like spirit's long lost twin brother.
