Since the website has been down such a long time, I thought it would be a good idea to mirror it...
http://fquake.quakeonline.net/

mister deurk! we miss you in #qwhelp :/

Woot!
How do I rsync?

rsync woot? no need to rsync

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

yeah, ofc.. ive talked about it with deurk..

more to come!

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.

small bug with the site:

when accessing via http://fquake.quakeonline.net the pictures on the first page do not appear (flag, os icons)
i think they are adressed locally and they can't be found or something

niomic: ill look in to all of that.. i have a tight schedule.. but ill try.

Aquashark the mirror aint up to date.. just use http://fquake.llamah.se/

help is always wanted

i0h- @ #qwhelp

What i need help with right now.. i need 3 NICE screenshots in real action quake..

if someone can take a estetic nice SS of quake that shows QUAKE .. no super eyecandy... but no lame gfx either.. as i said.. that shows THE GAME..

hopefully you are alot of people who are willing to help with this.. so i have couple to choose from... ofc you will get credits for your shot

post the ss here or send them to me i0h- @ qwhelp @ qnet

thanks. not to big pictures.. and not to small..

don't EXPECT to get help from anyone

that's the #1 rule

bump

come on guys you can do better than this?

what do you mean?

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.

hm?
i mean you surely can take better screenies than me on my shitty laptop? bit disappointed about lack of responses to bkt's post.

B1aze- good ideas..

gogogo

ah.. i haven't read the original post

Thanks alot dEus.. you show spirit for the game and the future nice screenies..

have like 7-8 screenies now.. need couple more.. so please... help its for a good thing..

and to emp... i have got response on irc from 2 other people so there are some nice souls out there..

murdoc <3

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?

yeah.. the linux installer didn't work for me too (same error on Slackware)

ooh.. damn

ill get in to that to..
*slow fkr*

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...

Eluan thx for helping.. but for me its still a problem with the mirror menu
cant get past that.. maybe just me?

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..

perhaps make the images centered

Done.
anything more to add/edit just tell me.. and ill try to make the page better..

just for the record, new ezQuake both win and linux and security modules are in fquake.

is the rsync server fixed so all the mirrors update when you update the packages?

i wonder if it's possible to make an os x version of fquake

I want to rsync and become a host too.

distfile mirror.. no problemo.. just msg me on irc i0h- @ #qwhelp
and ill hook you up.
