As much space as you want. I think there would be enough space for bmp hosting too, haha! I think png or gif would be best, yeah.
Brightness adjustment is no problem with the right image tool (I'm using an old freeware version of Brennig's, that can do "batch adjustments"). I could do the brightness adjustment, but not the bmp creation (no time for that unless it's super easy). You (whoever does it) should hurry up with that since I will leave next Monday for about 4-6 weeks with only rudimentary internet access it seems :) You can use php and get a mysql database if you want. Support for user uploads would be great. Hm, adding the WADs to the File Archive would not be very good I think. Not because of confusion, but because of the limits of that script. Dunno... Just plain HTML would be enough (for me). Assuming they're not too huge, I can host them easily if plainly enough. Quaddicted would be cooler :)
after all, it's just to have them all in one place, as a repository. everybody knows how the textures look, anyway.
so a plain html file with links would suffice imo - like the dm map archive, only with quaddicted.com/wads. They are pretty small. Most are under 1MB I think. And I would love to have all the included textures as png or gif right on the site. I would estimate about 200-300 MB for the whole collection :)
everybody knows how the textures look, anyway.
Uhm, no. And, as I said, I can't provide a "pure download site". What I'm doing with the dm maps isn't really ok for my host I think. you have all of my kdm* maps in that list there; bsps with no readmes. I'm not terribly happy about that. Could you remove them and replace with the zip versions, kthx.
Sorry about that. I know it is pretty bad how I uploaded all the bsp files without readme/no original zips. I deleted your maps now and uploaded the proper zip files. That is something I want to do with all the maps there. I just haven't found the time yet.
About the wads: What do you think of this as an example? http://www.quaddicted.com/wads/knave/index.htm Creating that just took a few minutes (Export from Wally and then creating a Gallery via Brennig's, some html cleaning and file shrinking afterwards). I could imagine just a long list like: <downloadlink>knave.wad</downloadlink>, size: 123kb, textures: 1234, style: evil, <gallerylink>show me what i get</gallerylink><linebreak> next wad That would satisfy both "leech people" and "searching people". Problem/stupid is that the preview page is only about half the size of the wad itself and thus doesn't really help. One could just download the was and then browse it in Wally for example. Some selection (maybe 10 textures per wad) would be better maybe. What do you think? Oh! And how about permission from the wad authors? Kell just pointed out a quite good point. I can't host something when the 'owner' doesn't want it that way (which I can absolutely understand). preview IS useful, in browser etc just to see what style the textures are and if they're shit or not. dl:ing and viewing is such a hassle.
If you're not willing to divide preview to pages, here's a gimmick solution: If you have dialup, just press the stop button after a while so a few textures show. I have the nature.wad
http://members.home.nl/gimli/Nature.zip and the dkt.wad http://members.home.nl/gimli/dkt.zip but not much webspace so get'em! Gib, these links work right for me... http://www.raven-games.com/essential.php#hw http://www.planetdaikatana.com/help/editing/custex.shtml Most texture authors have made their own preview images, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you posted a copy of that. Otherwise, most wads have already been used in a map, so you might consider just having a screenshot of a relevant map using those textures (for example, the preview of DKT Ep 3 might have a screenshot of JPL's map).
Awhile back I said I would like to create some 1930's era textures, houses inside and outside and what-not - and use it in a haunted house type map. I'd still love to, however I have other design priorities (of which also have the incentive of profit), and I was recently digging through the textures of Mafia.
If anyone has Mafia, might anyone wanna compile a WAD? There are some GREAT textures in there, over 4500 - from brick to houses to metal, stone, floor. While it has great 1930's definitive textures, it has many other textures that don't really pin it to that era. Mafia data extractor here: http://mafiascene.com/modules.php?name=downloads&cat_id=3&last_id=0&page=2 Need to register login to download though. the dkte1 site is just uploading.
If someone feels like helping with the html/preview sites, I could send you the program i use (old free Brennig's). You could also easily start from a directory listing, just adding some html code. FTP access will be given to trustworthy people (just ask if you want). forgot it...
http://www.quaddicted.com/wads/ I saved some, but I am wondering how to upload them:
apocrypha.zip - 1.367 armagon.zip - 1.851 bulowad2.zip - 3.658 deconwad.zip - 538 edgothic1.zip - 773 evil1quake.zip - 3.250 evil2quake1.zip - 2.086 evil3extrasquake1.zip - 53 evil3quake1.zip - 2.339 evil4quake1.zip - 2.471 fury.zip - 818 h2mpwad.zip - 6.370 hex2full.zip - 3.352 ik2k.zip - 2.948 ivory_textures.zip - 7.082 jug.zip - 3.904 kdmtex.zip - 740 map_leaks2.zip - 2.985 mrc_tex4.zip - 3.657 nature.zip - 340 obtex2.zip - 1.684 outdoor_textures.zip - 4.406 q3wad.zip - 1.024 rcdm.zip - 110 runewad.zip - 2.456 stand.zip - 2.408 target_textures.zip - 2.693 temple_textures.zip - 3.290 textures_cr8_set.zip - 512 textures_speedtech_q3 - 3.483 twxfinal.zip - 3.604 xatrix.zip - 1.636 If there is any interest, let me know. Madfox u can upload to
www.rapidshare.de is a free host and suport files untill 100 mb u just have to let link here for Spirit download! Are you going to zip (or even better 7-zip) the wads? They compress pretty well.
Let's hope no-one objects to the archive. true nobody uses winzip anymore :) rar or 7-Zip
errr... me !! In anyway, I also have some textures not mentionned in post #104. These wads are: BASE.WAD BULOWAD.WAD CTF4.WAD DESOLATION.WAD DktE1.wad DktE2.wad DktE3.wad DktE4.wad doom2.wad EGYPTIAN.WAD GYROTEX.WAD hexen2.wad HIPNOTIC.WAD IKBASE.WAD ikbaseq3.wad IKBLUE.WAD ikwhite.wad JPLtex_set1.wad knave.wad MEDIEVAL.WAD METAL.WAD MIPTEX.WAD mythtex01.wad pox03.wad poxwad02.wad ROGUE.WAD RuneResized.wad SGC.wad SPEEDY_CR8.wad starfields.wad START.WAD tiger.wad (it firs with tiger tank Prefab) WIZARD.WAD ZERST�RER.WAD Let me know if you need the stuff... PS: I'm currently working on Doom3 conversion to Quake1 format... You can already add it to this list, but it will be ready next month... I hope... I alreadyprocess 2/3 of the stuff.. I know Spirit offered to help, but just in case, I would like to put them up on Circa1984 as well. Send me an e-mail with however many of those you feel like sending to lolleyballz AT gmail dot com
All these files have a total size of 37MB zipped.. so no there's no possibility to send it by e-mail, but splitting it at least in 4 parts... and I've removed knave that can be downloaded from Kell's website...
I think the best thing is taht you send me an email with exactly what you need (or what you don't have.. I guess all the stuff is not required..) and then I could upload a related zipped file to my website in order to share the stuff... BTW: all these files comes from geneticrose website that is dead from a while now ;)
