So where can I play this?

Uh, my bad.


I guess people still have to wait a bit. More info later.

Played some with otto (nancy) yesterday and it was fun.

Mappool increased by four maps: death6, fragyard, pillar and rz1pondb (new spawns). So we have 15 maps now:

@Renzo
ztnbase.bsp is quite huge map, iirc.

Is it possible to play this mod anywhere yet? Even if its still in development?

I've pulled the 1.37-svn ktx from git repository and I've compiled the code.
http://qw-dev.net/projects/ktx/repository/revisions/e15c8d3c19f92209118c668a3d772caa83933c95

I've got a server running, BUT a few words you should take into consideration before you connect:
- Bloodfest is still under development, REMEMBER to give feedback at http://qw-dev.net/boards/3/topics/57 (needs registration to qw-dev.net)
- If you have a new idea/found a bug, LET DEVELOPERS know about it -> http://qw-dev.net/projects/ktx/issues/new ( DOES NOT NEED REGISTRATION)
- Server is running at Northern Finland at ATOM BASED mini-pc (10/10 ethernet connection) which gives pl peaks! If it crashes, please let me know ( #in-a-blaze )
- server ip otto.dyndns-free.com:27500, you should enable coop mode by /votecoop and change map to e.g. kenya. Use /toggleready to start the bloodfest!

EDIT: You should test this on deurks servers!

Also note that otto's server doesn't have the latest .ents for the supported maps, which I've been tuning and testing with Qqshka (and some others) the last two days. Also I haven't pushed all the map support to the git, so you are missing a few ones.

Newer .ents tackle "cs" problems on some maps, you can't hide in some corner or small room anymore. Also certain maps just don't work as they should (inactive teleporters, missing lifts, doors that won't open) and you could even get stuck with another player in the beginning of the round.

You can also test it on my servers:

qw-dev.net:28001
qw-dev.net:28002
qw-dev.net:28003

(Reminder: 1) /votecoop 2) vote map 3) /ready )

So what do .ent files hold inside them? Map specific monster ai? Routes for monsters? Nothing to do with monsters?

In addition to normal enitities it contain monsters spawn points, that main purpose.

Some ent files have different players spawns comparing to normal modes, some have ares where you can't go (to prevent hiding in little rooms and spam gl).

more maps that might be worth it:

BALDM3

EFDM12

EFDM10

BALDM8

I just got one perfect map for bloodfest!

FRAGAPALOOZA HANGAR

The name is: frag97.bsp

Muff1n did nice map for bloodfest, called bloddf1, you can test it on quakeworld.fi:28666. Hardest one so far.

Where's the discussion on the bloodfest mod?

On the qw-dev.net KTX discussion/feedback area, for almost a month now it seems. Well to be honest, I just noticed this myself so... :lol:

I hope u like the map, it was a speedmap . I am going to make 2 or 3 new maps this week. Got some neat ideas. Over and out

i was just thinking, what about making boss monsters appear after every 3waves of monsters? So when the boss monster spawn no other monster will untill he is dead. Just take a shambler with a bloodstained skin or something,.and boss monster should be thougher and faster every time. Would be neat to scale him up a bit aswell.

In bloddf1 the tele areas are highly abusive, since there is a lot of obstruction and you can run through the tele. It's pretty lame to see people hide there all the time, so maybe either remove the obstructions or make them A LOT thinner.

Roger, will fix tonight

FIXED! i gave the dl link to the people in #qw-dev, so i think its should be updated by now on the server.

That's a nice map Muff1n. And the idea of boss monsters is awesome, make it happen!

Renzo and Deurk,

Qwdev.net is awesome and definitely has a large role in qw today, but I think discussions should be kept on qwnu as more people will participate and it will attract a larger audience. IMHO qwdev.net should be where bug fixes/feature requests are *formally* submitted.

Gave the devs a new bloodfest map last night, might get onto servers today? Bloddf3.bsp. This one might be harder than the last one.
