After all he wanted to hijack one of the last remaining institutions we have at QW, which is DuelMania, and leave his personal mark on it. I can fully understand that Dirtbox and others do not approve of this kind of behaviour. After all, a lot of preparation work and money (such as setting up an awesome strategic QW server landscape to allow cross-continental games!) was spent on it.

Mindf!3ldzX the link aint working for me ,post me something that shows netquake aktivity im intersted!

So I was surfing the duelmania official website.... http://www.duelmania.net/
I wanted to check ping times to all the relevant continents, and noticed the servers page http://www.duelmania.net/?sid=4&mod=servers&act=view&opt= has zero servers listed.

lol

Can someone post a complete list of the QW servers that I will be subject to playing on? And any other relevant information whether typed up here or linked elsewhere?

What are the official clients being allowed , or are there clients not being allowed? What is recommended ?

http://www.duelmania.net/?sid=4&mod=signups&act=view&opt=

^ Is that the current signup list or is that just left overs from a previous tournaments?

I have many more questions but I think those can wait until the current ones get answered with some clarifications.

Also, even though Quakeone.com is primarily focused on NetQuake, would anyone want to get with me and work together to accumulate information in a neat and tidy news article on the front page? Who is the HMFIC of this duel mania event?

I followed the quakeone.com community a bit for a few years. The spirit felt completely different to the QW scene.
I think the QW scene's focus was the competitiveness of the game which is still regarded to the best by many players and ex players. But it was a huge hit for many to accept that the player's base has been shrinking for a very long time, even down to the point that serious tournaments make no sense anymore. Much effort was put into reactivating players and addressing new players both with the goal to increase activity.

As far as the Netquake scene is concerned, my impression was that players haven't considered the game to be competitive anymore and the only point to play the game because you enjoy it. Therefore, I really liked the way most NQ people wanted to find ways how to get more fun out of the game (new maps, clients, mods, enhancements etc.) and being generally open-minded towards changes.
When things change(d) in the QW community, there are always a few questions heavily discussed:
- Does this attract new players?
- Does this discourage old players?

As far as I remember you are one of the most active drivers in that scene and have a very positive attitude and are a great representive for Quake in general.

Anyway, I think that Quake ONE Net guy didn't really understand that coming to these forums and talking as if he's the Pooh Bah of all things Quake wouldn't make him many friends. All help is appreciated but it seems he should have focussed differently. After all he wanted to hijack one of the last remaining institutions we have at QW, which is DuelMania, and leave his personal mark on it. I can fully understand that Dirtbox and others do not approve of this kind of behaviour.

DuelMania is a Quakeworld duel competition. I'm sure that everyone who accepts this fact is welcome to participate. Extending the tournament to another game is totally off the table (remember the 2 questions that always get asked when things shall change)

Try this url and press the "download this file" link then do the captcha. It played in third person though. :S

http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/brucevlegion there is that 1v1 demo.

I have no idea how to get this file to download from this site

edit:
nevermind, got it but it seems to also be a 4on4 demo

I don't think this was answered so I'll take a stab at it as it would be nice to see some NQ players join our ranks


Where are you located? You can check out www.quakeservers.net/quakeworld/servers for all servers, then filter by location by clicking on Search in the left bar. You can also use the built-in server browser from ezQuake (see below).

If you're in the US, you'll probably play on a NYC or Miami server for US games, and quakeworld.co.uk for European games.


ezQuake is basically the standard client, you can get the 2.2 stable version from ezquake.sourceforge.net or the latest 3.0 nightly build (that I and several others use) from here. If you want a full distribution, then nquake is your friend (it includes ezquake but you can replace the .exe with the latest version).

Note that the out of the box look of nQuake might not be what you're used to, but you can configure almost anything to look more faithful if that's what you prefer.


That's the current list, everyone signed up in the last couple weeks. Pretty nice to see 40+ players!


Someone should help with this

Cheers,

HERE is that 1v1 Bruce versus Legion 1v1

I'm going to write up an article about the DuelMania WorldWide tournament and just point to the official website.
You can see that in about 3-5 minutes at Quakeone.com

What engine are you trying? Try qrack or a recent proquake I guess. Quakespasm should have zero issues but isnt a MP engine.


mindz: -> http://nquake.com/

Hi,

can you please help me? I'm getting an error when I open the demo (I tried several clients). The message is: "svc_lightstyle > MAX_LIGHTSTYLES".
I guess I'm missing some parameter such as heapsize or whatever, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

Thanks for the post on quakeone.com!

I tried ProQuake, Quakespasm, DirectQ and Fitzquake. All those exes were in my quake folder (most likely not in recent version) and gave the same error message. I used Dr. Google to find me the most recent version of ProQuake but it's the same - though the error message now appears in the console and starts with "host_error" instead of just quitting the game.
Maybe I'm lacking the correct folder that the mod looks for? But I'm just guessing here.

You should try playing the demo back in Qrack ( Qrack ver4497 ) , I'm willing to bet it was recorded in Qrack.

Thanks, Qrack worked for me!
Nice demo, I enjoyed it. Haven't seen a duel played on dm6 in dmm1 with powerups on for a quite a long time but I thought this was the appropriate way to play

When does this thing kick off, forgive me if this has already been discussed I couldn't seem to find that information.

He did not only message the admins but also the normal players. I always disliked it that people could get my email address so easily from the duelmania site. But as the QW community has been moron free until now I kind of ignored it. Maybe the email addresses should not longer be displayed.

Ca va bien?

I see I am supposed to versus Cream next, how do I arrange this.
