I wonder if there may be a list of QuakeWorld maps available anywhere that i can use? I would like it on something like csv format or as a database extract so that i can import it easily into a database again.

Preferably with the short name (DM3) and long name (The Abandoned Base) separated.

I have started on a list which so far includes the episode maps, dm maps and some other map series (ukooldm, ztn etc) but there has to be something like this already available so why reinvent the wheel.

Noone?

You should contact Paradoks. He was the organizer of taking screen shots from all maps. If somebody has what you are looking for, it is him.

It is harder than it seems as maps can be part of mappacks, be inside pak files and there are several file name collisions. Many maps have no title, at least not in the bsp file.

Otherwise you can do "strings file.bsp | grep --max-count=1 message" or "grep --max-count=1 --binary-files=text message file.bsp". Be aware that some maps have special characters in their titles (colored or symbols).

I should be able to generate a list for you. PM me tomorrow in case you don't hear from me as I might forget to do this
