Time for some jumps!


More seriously (no, QuakeWorld is NOT a game!), you'll get credits for your nice tricks and people will see you jumping by the great art of Pez (go fr!), who should be the artist behind the promotional movie!
The map "MVDSV Kindergarden" has been created by Spirit who I will quote for a little explanation:


So how does this work?
Just a (few) steps:

01) Get the map!
02) Get the 24bits textures
03) Put the map in your id1/maps directory
04) Launch your favorite client
05) Type in console: "sv_cheats 1"
06) Type in console: "map mvdsv-kg"
07) Type in console: "god"
08) Type in console: "impulse 9"
09) If you are an ezQuake 1.9+ user: MAKE SURE "cl_nopext" IS SET TO "1" BEFORE RECORDING!
10) Record tons and tons of nice tricks
11) Upload your demos to the dedicated page: Upload is password protected, click the "Log in" link at bottom of page and enter "mvdsv"

Of course, tricks don't have to be solo, you can team-trick too!
And then, you can give feedback

[EDIT: Contest will run for 2 full weeks to allow people to have time during week-ends to get some nice demos ]

00) Get the screenshot!

Like that?

Woohoo!

Oh, and for those wondering what MVDSV is, MVDSV is the QW server used in about 65-70% of the servers declared on Quakeservers.net:
http://www.quakeservers.net/quakeworld/stats

(It is also the QW server hosting KTX).

uploaded 3 demos.. i hope they're useful

Niiiice

I like the 2nd one!

Aqua, don't you have teammates to do some team-tricks?

Can't do fancy stuff, I don't have nimble fingers and I don't use that movescript-cheat ;(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((


edit: I put that map on easy/suomicom/troopers so everyone can go play around there.

Note: the server is matchless and anybody can join at any time, server records as long as someone is connected.

uploaded 2 demos. I think more will come.

what do i do with textures? where to extract files..

Put the textures in: <Quakedir>/qw/textures/mvdsv-kg/

deurk dude, you recorded your demos in a mod with extra media (sounds/models/etc.). Just thought I'd let you know, because they're required for playback. I ignored the sounds and used dummy models to play it back.

oh my.. look who's lurking
to get those missing models connect to ktx.quakeonline.net:27501

Thanks vb- for the tip, I forgot about that

lurker!

No one else submitting demos?!

Come on!

Sorry but I tried it and it felt quite boring. Good effort tho, hope ppl will play it.

I'll be submitting demos deurk. Already have one, but I want to record more before I send them in :>

Well, uploaded a bunch. There were a couple of more, trickier ones, I wasn't able to nail. Will give em a try again when I'm not so blurry-eyed

Uploaded a couple, more to come. Some are real easy, I always record simple shit to give me/whoever watches them ideas later.

Edit: dak, I get a 403 when I try & download your demos.

My mistake, it's fixed now.

Hehe, took the time to review your jumps: nice ones
Getting ideas all around now, really cool

Just a reminder!

Ok, the map looks great and Spirit made a really good job on it!

However I don't think it'll work as default map! The prewar fun is based on shooting each other, bunny around, tricks and chit chat! This map has no good areas where we can spam greens on other players and bunny possibilities are very limited.

I'm making a test with this map as default on a ktx server, but if I don't get a good feedback from players, I'll get it back to dm3!

I partly agree with veg here. Would be cool if there was a flatter area beneath the current "void" stuff, and tons of teleporters/airlifts to go up through from there. Below would be more like dm2-bigroom kinda areas, where people could prewar freely, while above you'd be more constricted to jumping around/tricking, etc.

Just tossing ideas out there though

Firstly:
Let me be clear about what MVDSV default map means:
If you don't specify on command line or anywhere in the config what map to start as default one, what does MVDSV do? It does load a map, and at this point it is still start.bsp, a useless single player map allowing to select level for single player mode on a multiplayer server, and copyrighted hence not able to be distributed with the server files.

This is what I propose to replace it with.
Now Vegetous, if you have dm3 as a default map, I am not going to replace it since you specified it explicitely somewhere

Secondly:
I am more than welcoming other nice trick maps to be created and "sponsored" by MVDSV! Make a nice map where people can relax or have fun and submit it to me
And I even got ideas for a special project map if anybody wants to step up for the task (I think I got Spirit tired )

Sponsored by? Does this mean I get dough making one?

GIEF ME MOER MONYE !1111!1
