Tracking new releases (for addition to the database)

Andrew · 2022-03-05 15:59:31

I accidentally found a very interesting collection on the game Quake. It contains all the episodes for all mods, lots of maps, various music tracks for the game, utilities and the latest game engines. If anyone is interested, here is the download link. The archive has a large size of 7.8GB. Everything can be started through one convenient "*.bat" file (except for music tracks).

That guy has posted it on this site himself. Not really a new release, since everything in there is already on Quaddicted, just a repackage.

Perhaps. But I found something new there for myself. If you think it is necessary, you can delete this message.

Mod Jam 2022; some mods have maps, some don't
http://www.khreathor.xyz/quake_maps/rel … am2_ai.zip

I'd provide author names, but some authors didn't make a map, and one (Doug nyc [Grue]) made a map for matboe's mod but isn't listed as a mod author. Not sure whether mod authors or map authors is the most relevant to Quaddicted.

DESCRIPTION
Collection of 7 mods, the theme is "AI"

Mememind343 · 2022-03-07 17:02:15

I have a map that I would like to upload.

Its a medium sized base map using alkaline 1.1 called Hydro Madness.
readme, map sources,and the skybox are included
https://www.quaketastic.com/files/hydromadness.zip

If you need anything else please let me know.

If you can fill-in as much as possible of this template, with your project info, that'll help me a lot, thanks.

I think for this case, mod authors is appropriate. Personally I would interpret "authors" = "primary contributors", for whatever the project context is. Especially since Quaddicted once aspired to be a general archive, not just for maps. But yeah, crediting and authorship is complicated, and I guess no database can be 100% consistent about this anyway.

"The Dreamer's Demesne"...

The map is very interesting, but there is one critical mistake: after the battle with the knights and gaunts in the courtyard, the last door to the tower with the final teleport did not open (only noclip helped). Maybe it really only happened to me? And also on the example of this map, I saw the error of the "AD" skins. The last skin of the crusader knight does not match the skin of his head (but it's not your fault).

And I didn't understand how to get a super nailgun out of the pit. )))

I found the issue that Andrew thankfully caught in my map and am in the process of fixing it. If I reupload to Quaketastic and repost the link, can my entry be updated?

MittensForKittens · 2022-03-10 22:45:56

UPDATE: Fixed an issue with normal/easy difficulties and created a new zip file for the "1.1" version. If you could please utilize the new download, I would greatly appreciated. I'm reposting the whole database entry so it can be more easily referenced.

Thanks for the info. I looked over the ZIP... unfortunately it's not packaged correctly.

You put everything in a mod folder named "hydromadnessV2"... but it's not standalone, it needs to be installed into an existing Alkaline 1.1 folder ... so really, your mod folder should be renamed to "alk1.1" instead?

Or ideally, use no mod folder at all, and instead /maps/ should be at the root of the ZIP, to ensure easy install compatibility with any future versions of Alkaline.

I recommend repackaging the file, and a different filename (hydromadness_v3.zip) and re-submitting here. But if you want me to add it to the database as-is, where it's a bit broken, I can do that too, just let me know.

Sorry but this is still incorrectly packaged. You need to keep your map files in a folder separate from your skybox folder.

Your ZIP should look like this:

/maps/
     hydromadness.bsp
     hydromadness.lit
     hydromadness.map
/gfx/
     /env/
          (skybox TGAs)

Sorry to be inpatient, but I was wondering if you guys had any idea when my map would be uploaded and input to the collection. (Just anxious to share it more widely) Thanks!

radiatoryang · 2022-03-16 21:33:15

Sorry, no ETA / no magic coordination here. I just check this thread occasionally to see if Spirit uploaded new files, and then I add the database page for it.

Spirit, here's what needs to be uploaded:
- https://www.quaketastic.com/files/singl … 1.1%29.zip
- https://www.quaketastic.com/files/HydromadnessV3.1.zip

Please do not use this thread for anything but URLs to files that should be uploaded. Discussion for packaging, issues and what not can happen in separate threads. Otherwise I just see a huge mess of text and quotes and stuff and oh look there's a squirrel.
