ARgh!

Some other mod on the Telejano page called "USA Invade Kanada".

http://telejano.berlios.de/wiki3/index. ... t%20Colony

I go to download the first link, says 403 Forbidden. LOL Hey, let's host a file but not let anyone be able to download it!

I go to download the second link:

http://telejano.berlios.de/option/THELOST.ZIP

And it says "File Not Found" ... and I'm thinking "no shit!" (you know, the file name is called "THELOST.ZIP" and this is a Quake mod, so I figure it is probably lost and would have been surprised if it worked.)

This is a little rant and it is out of character for me, but why the f*** would people invest probably hundreds -- if not thousands --- of hours in a mod only to flush it down the toilet. This looks like a quality mod.

Conquest was just a case typo by Tei



As for Kanada Invade USA, I don't have it... it's semi-old now

Ah, Kanada invades USA 2, that takes me back.

It's based on my own Defeat in Detail mod, Tei did a good job adding new units and effects etc.

I could never get it to work properly though.

omg people can't be trusted to share their own work for free with you??? How terrible.

And try finding any of my stuff on planetquake / fp. You can't. Because the fuckers deleted it all. Let's face it, the web is a shitty way of archiving stuff, and it's really not surprising that mods from a couple of years ago have suffered the same link rot as, well, everything else on the web.

I wasn't trying to be witty, I was trying to be sarcastic, on the basis that I'm one of those modders whose mods have disappeared off the Internet (twice now) through no fault of my own. It's a bit of a kick in the balls for you to declare that I'm not trustworthy when really it was MDQNet as-was followed by PlanetQuake that decided to delete my stuff.

Admittedly, TEAMShambler onwards there's a good record of the maps that came out, but I think that's more to do with the nature of maps compared to the nature of mods. It's very easy for maps to be declared "finished", and released, and thus reviewed and stored on the review site. Mods have not, for a long time, gotten to a stage where they are declared "finished" and left alone, mod authors are always tinkering. Which is why I think there's never been a decent mod review site that mirrors the mods from the author's own site.
