Quake Servers NewYork.

[wicked_lord]

I am still waiting for BDA 'BeatDownAlley' to come back up. Would love to also see leftism make an appearance.

[Mr.Burns]

I'm keen to see BDA make a come back too. I even did a (re-)trawl of communications dating back to 2008 over the weekend to see if I could find the original message from Lefty which the compiled mod as an attachment. Sadly I have had no luck so far
Lefty is still alive, he occasionally pops on to Shmack to give me a thrashing.
Let's hope that at some point soon Dole can find the time in his very busy schedule to send the last known working version to me whilst he works on the new version.

Kind regards

Monty

Yea BDA server would be nice


About the servers @New york , the server host is just in testfase this month.
So let me know if someone got lags,pingspikes,packet loss.

wicked_lord had some ping spikes yesterday , I only had some packet loss not huge.

Changing host these days isn't a big deal anymore it's done in a blink

This is just to let the community know that the RuneQuake Plus (RQP) mod produced by IEEE has been added to port 26010. The mod is server side so you shouldn't need to download anything just fire up your netquake client, go into console and type connect newyork.servequake.com:26010 and you should be good to go.
It's just in its native form at the moment so please let me know if the community thinks it needs any tweeks in config and so forth.

Enjoy, have fun

Yeaaaaaah!!!

[QuakeNekkid]

Just spent a bit of time looking in on this.... what a trip down memory lane! Ricochet, Touch of Death, 10K Lb Man! Very cool!

[Mr.Burns]

Yes it was good to see you there. For some reason my remote access has stopped working this week, I hope I haven't upset Polarite , but as soon I can log in again I will try and alter the config to enable things RuneQuakers are comfortable with such as Hook.

Hope to see you there soon

Kind regards

Runequake Plus server updated.

My thanks to Polarite [all hail ] for fixing my access to the NYC server, I'm happy to report that, with Zop's invaluable help, the RuneQuake plus port (newyork.servequake.com:26010) has received the following long overdue updates:

1. It now has the Free Hook enabled so you can whizz around the map like a crazy person, and
2. You can drop runes instantly rather than have to wait.

So have fun ppl.

Kind regards

Zop also likes pizza, I bet he likes free Pizza even more

ffany plays pretty well, even though I am quite a physical distance away from the server. It is smooth and without interruptions, maybe some new nice hardware in place or perhaps, more improved and faster internet connections offered, but in any case it was a nice and pleasant experience. Thanks for the service

I have played a few games with some fellow quakers, now only if we had more players to play on those fun custom maps.. There is a particular, fun map, I really enjoy, it is called wworld01, or something to that effect. I encourage everyone to look at it, because it is western themed, with a saloon, well really fun and varied I can only imagine how much fun this map would be in a ca match or maybe runes, where you would have players trying to get into that saloon or hanging out by the stables, while perhaps circling that saloon trying to capture it lol

And I am a fan of pizza as well, in fact, just viewing that page Mindz, really stirred my appetite for some! lol..

Thanks Gem, that's good to hear. Polarite is the server owner and the brains behind them, I just add tweaks for player requests, help run the tournaments and help out where I can

I added wworld in response to a player request and it can be quite a fun map with the right people. If I remember rightly the FFANY server has some extra "magic" added by Peg and Pol to allow you to view and select a wide range of maps (try say !maps at the console). Also bear in mind that if you can catch an Admin on (e.g. =Peg=, Pol or myself) we can often change the server to load maps that may not be in the normal rotation. For example it was a lot of fun to play Basewalk and Aerowalk maps on the RuneQuakePlus port on the server (newyork.servequake.com:26010) last night using the same method.

Have fun

NewDM added to NYC

Bored? Fancy a game of Quake but can't find a server with any players on? Well fear not and look no further, help from your friendly neighborhood New York server team is at hand
The admin team at NYC has now provided an additional port at newdmny.servequake.com:26010 with the NewDM mod from CS and Monster loaded so you can play your favourite Quake and even some custom maps against bots with adjustable skill levels to test your mettel. The Bots can be individually voted on (type addbot in console) or off (type removebot in console) to suit your preference and their skill can be adjusted using botskill n

Just for good measure the european players can also enjoy a big helping of the same NewDM goodness over at newdm.servequake.com:26010

Other than a few custom maps, which can be downloaded from either our repository in the USA (Index of /maps) or europe (Index of /maps), there should be no additional files needed so what are you waiting for? Go kick some Bot

(@Polarite: All Hail )

Have fun

Wow, this is exactly what was needed. I think I mentioned this a longer time ago - custom maps with bots.

Might I say that there are not just a few custom maps, for newcomers or others, there are -tons!- just check out that huge long list there (Index of /maps)

Now Mr.Burns, for myself or others that don't know or remember, what is that bot adding skill usage again, what are the values of 'n' from weakest to strongest please?

And lastly, I'd like to update my map directory, is there any place these maps can be all downloaded as a huge zip file? rather then get them one by one. I'm saying this, as I like to explore the maps offline sometimes

And again, awesome change and addition there Just Fantastic

Woah hold on there a second my friend. The repos I've linked you to should contain all of the maps available on the New York and Damage servers. I've provided that on the basis that it's a fairly large and convenient repo of maps and if you are playing the NewDM mod and vote for a map you haven't already got then you can probably find it there. Unfortunately the NewDM Mod has a limited number of maps, ID and Custom, which I believe (but could be wrong) are hardcoded in to the mod. I'm not sure that even though all the FFA maps are available on the server and available for mods on other ports of the same server, they may not all be useable by the NewDM mod. Only Monster or CS could really answer that as they wrote that mod.
However, if we speak really nicely to Polarite or Peg they might be able to look whether the same server magic that is available on the FFA servers, which includes numerous additional player options such as hundreds of voteable maps , could be applied to the NewDM port (assuming NewDM can support it)

Now Mr.Burns, for myself or others that don't know or remember, what is that bot adding skill usage again, what are the values of 'n' from weakest to strongest please?

The screenshot of the menu should help you...

By default the bots play at skill level 1 but you can easily check by typing botskill and pressing return in game on the server. if you want to change the skill level then remove all the bots, change the skill level (eg type skill3) and add them back in (addbot).

And lastly, I'd like to update my map directory, is there any place these maps can be all downloaded as a huge zip file? rather then get them one by one. I'm saying this, as I like to explore the maps offline sometimes

As I recall there is a map pack available here at Quakeone.com. While you are there it would probably be a good idea to gran the RQuake Coop maps as well. If for some reason neither of these are available to you please let me know and I can provide you with an alternate link.
Personally, I tend to configure my Proquake to automatically download any missing maps as it allows you to keep up to date with any new maps that come along with only a minimum of effort (2 lines in your config) but I believe not all clients do this.

And again, awesome change and addition there Just Fantastic

We aim to please

Kind regards
