Since the website has been down such a long time, I thought it would be a good idea to mirror it...

But what if fquake is updated?
Mirrors of recent stuff that is being worked on are rather pointless if they aren't updated instantly/regularly

Hey Empezar et al.

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to the best FPS in the world

A couple of things I would like to see on the website:

1. Screenshots on the first page, just 2-3 _good looking shots_ that are thumbnails -> click -> boom -> full resolution
1.1 This is really important for people giving the URL out to someone they hope will join the crowd. They need to see what is going on _in the game_ as soon as they get to the site.

2. Include a bot package with good preset configs so that newer players can simply type something like bot-duel-arena, and get povdmm4 3min with a level x bot. This because of two reasons:
2.1 A lot of games lately have come with "singleplayer" modes which mean that you play against more and more skilled bots all the time and finally beat the game. People are used to this kind of paradigm.
2.2 Having the ability to easily test your new shiny settings against players without having to find a server or players is really nice and even I frequently test settings with bots, povdmm4, dm6 dmm4 and dm6 dmm3 to see what the feel is.
2.3 It would be _GREAT_ if this was built-in to the main menu of QW somehow

3. It would be nice to mention even in one paragraph what QW is (first on the frontpage, right above the fQuake-paragraph). And it could be something a bit over-the-top hyping stuff with key points like:
3.1 First and still evolving
3.2 Deepest skillset available
3.3 Super fast gaming experience
3.4 Dedicated and active scene

These are the things involving fQuake. Of course there is still the big problem of fragmented information :/ This has been a plague in QW ever since stuff started to get more complicated. Having made a comeback just 2 months ago I've witnessed first hand how much you have to wade through all kinds of Forums, news sites, other players etc. to get the things that you (might) want. It's kinda like the Linux scene, where there is all this great work being done, but due to fragmentation, it just seems like a big jumble of Yet Another Distro (site, package, what ever). None of the current portals are addressing the kinds of needs that I'm talking about and wading through this Forum is a lot of work - especially considering that I've done a lot of configging since 97 and am somewhat knowledgeable in these things.

I think u should make screen from dm3 when one team defends in pent area and few guys from other team jump thru the window. (with lg firing, rl and so on)
Other screen must be a millisecond before airgib in main room of dm2.
And the last one is aero or dm4 one guy raise another using only shaft in main room.
With best wishes, B1aze.

The linux installer fails here, all the size calc stuff doesn't work (even though all values are read correctly.) Maybe I could fix then, but I'll have to relearn shell script

By the way, why not use a loki-installer?

Fixed it. The Windows-ish '\r' in the .ini files were causing the trouble, here is a fixed version: http://qw.eluan.ath.cx:800/fquake-linux-i386-2.26.sh

Edit: That was also the reason for the error messages being so screwed up, \r is carriage return.

By the way, just found out that there is no error checking when downloading/installing/etc...

Ok, figured it out.

run it with

~: bash fquake-linux-i386-2.26.bash

or

~: chmod 755 fquake-linux-i386-2.26.bash
and then

~: ./fquake-linux-i386-2.26.bash

new version is up

edit: and added some SS on the frontpage

thanks dEus and murdoc for the ss... if you think you can do better post SS here..
