It Was A Great Resource

#30944 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2019/04/03 20:46:10

I find it hard to believe a couple of honest questions caused such an issue for you. I never saw guidelines posted in the spreadsheet about what counted as a map.

metlsline has a good point about Quaddicted, I hope someone else steps up and takes over this task.

#30945 posted by metlslime on 2019/04/03 21:04:10

also i feel like i should say more strongly: Quaddicted is STILL a great resource.

#30946 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2019/04/03 21:06:38

...and I will strongly agree. I think there are some changes planned to Quaddicted for the near term. (usability and database stuff) I hope Spirit has some good news for us eventually.

#30947 posted by Qmaster on 2019/04/03 21:55:08

Aw can't we keep it the same as or slightly simpler than 2018? I loved the list last year. It's fun to have regardless of how quickly the awesome Quaddicted is upkept, even just a simple list per month.

Any Way To Combine The Map List....

....with the Quake Awards??

If It's Worth Anything To You, OTP,

I liked your map list, too! Would DEFINITELY like to see one again. As stated previously by metlslime, Quaddicted lists releases, not maps. And I think the individual maps in multimap releases deserve to be mentioned in their own right!

Freecs FTE Textures Trouble

#30951 posted by Reyond on 2019/04/05 01:23:41

I am not sure should I post it here or in mapping thread :D

Hello, I have some troubles with textures on my map in FTE engine:

My map has low-quality textures and here is how it looks in darkplaces engine:
https://pp.userapi.com/c852036/v852036050/f069d/0_mPVRJq0RI.jpg

In darkplaces I added high quality textures in "textures" folder (each hd texture name corresponds to each lq texture name). I also use normal maps and gloss. Here is how it looks after that:
https://pp.userapi.com/c852036/v852036050/f068b/vqyePzRkKEg.jpg

I tried to do the same in FTE engine. So I have a map with low quality textures and I have some hd textures with normal maps and gloss in "textures" folder. Hd textures are loaded too:
https://pp.userapi.com/c856016/v856016024/17d19/O76Ncfgg5nQ.jpg

After that i decided to run this map in "Freecs" for FTE quake. The problem is that now hd textures are not loaded from "textures" folder. Only normal maps and gloss can be loaded. Screenshot:
https://pp.userapi.com/c852036/v852036050/f0664/6TWdO2Y4pPo.jpg

I replaced all the cfg files in freecs for cfg files from my mod. The graphics changed but my hd textures are still can not be loaded. I also tried to use different formats - tga and jpg for textures in "textures" folder but still no result. Map is in quake 3 format.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
(sorry if I made any mistakes, my English is still poor)

Thread Closed Due To Spam

#30954 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2019/04/22 19:56:36

Closing the Mark V thread for spam? Why only that particular thread? I think you're going to have to close a lot more moving forward.

It Was Getting Persistent Daily On Just That Thread

#30955 posted by Shambler on 2019/04/22 20:35:31

I was hoping do it for a week and the spambot algorithms fuck off. Could be wrong. Can re-open it later for all those people who love the daily 1 new post about document writing spamware.

Okay Done.

#30956 posted by Shambler on 2019/04/22 20:37:42

Feel free to ask metl to remove anon posting and thus remove 100% of the spam.

#30957 posted by metlslime on 2019/04/22 20:39:54

some spam isn't anonymous :)

however, might be a good compromise to have a "protected" status for some threads which allows only registered users to post, for threads like that which seem to be constantly spammed.

I Would Argue For The Opposite

#30958 posted by oh, that person on 2019/04/22 20:41:38

Allow only registered users to post, but have a "anything goes" status for some threads where anon posts are permitted.

Hmmmmmmm

#30959 posted by Kinn on 2019/04/22 22:52:46

What about make every thread registered users only APART from General Abuse which also lets non-registered users post?

The only argument for allowing non-registered users to post is to placate the "but i've forgotten my login" whingers. In that case, at least they can make themselves heard in GA, if they *really* have to make a post for some urgent reason.

#30960 posted by oh, that person on 2019/04/22 23:00:01

I would extend that to the stickied threads, otherwise agree.

And the Mark V thread of course.

Kinn Dropping The Common Sense Bomb Yet Again.

#30961 posted by Shambler on 2019/04/22 23:16:47

Yeah, I Support Kinn's Suggestion

#30962 posted by SleepwalkR on 2019/04/22 23:28:02

#30963 posted by Kinn on 2019/04/22 23:36:37

Cheers, yeah I really think it should *only* be in GA, and not other sticky threads (as otp suggests)

With just a single place where anons can post their shite - err...I mean important posts - that at least quarantines the problem, whilst allowing for the odd valid anon who really, really must post or else he'll explode or something.

Think of the place as a sort of containment zone, full of mutants and bellends.

#30965 posted by SleepwalkR on 2019/04/23 07:26:33

Hi everyone, I will have to move to a new server until the end of the month. This will mean some downtime for the following websites:

- func_messageboard
- celephais.net
- fov120.com
- quaketastic.com
- shub-hub.com

I expect at most one day of downtime.

Server Move Update

#30968 posted by SleepwalkR on 2019/04/26 15:42:14

I'll move the servers over on Sunday. Expect this website to go down for a couple of hours while the data is moved to the new machine and the DNS entries are updated. It should not take longer than 24 hours.

This applies to the following websites:
- func_messageboard
- celephais.net
- fov120.com
- quaketastic.com
- shub-hub.com
