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
demo1.dz created using v2.9

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
