DM.QUAKEONE.COM Server Launch

[Yellow No. 5]

Announcing DM.QUAKEONE.COM

A new free-for-all deathmatch server is up, running the QuakeOne maps pack (same as bomber.quakeone.com).

Get maps here (9.2 MB).

It's classic quake ffa deathmatch, with a few extras:
4 Classic Runes (1.5x rather than 2x).
Fast Weapon Respawning (8 rather than 20 sec)
Wall Jumping - run up to a wall and repeatedly jump.

The mod features all the regular features, such as observer mode, and "warp" menu (use "commands" for more options).

Check out the promo video video showing what awaits you:

dm.quakeone.com.avi (26 MB)

We're also looking for a few admins to keep an eye on things, and help promote the server. Contact Yellow No. 5.

Thanks go to R00k, Vis, and Ava!

I didn't even know this mod and the server had a video until 5 hours ago, heheh

This is a really good video. Shows some actual play on the server and demonstrates some of the features of the mod real well.

Has a nice clip of Yellow entering a room and a great shot of a rocket I fired connects with Phenom in the air, heh. I remember making that shot too!

If you want to see how the wall climbing works in this mod, you should definitely watch the video. ALSO, note that the name of the player appears on-screen when you cause damage.

This adds a twist to the play as if you throw a grenade down somewhere and it happens to damage someone, YOU WILL KNOW WHO IT HIT!

And to anyone who is worried that the classic strength, resistance, regen and haste will take away from the classic deathmatch feel -- IT DOES *NOT*.

Strength, resistance, regen and haste are de-powered by 50% so while they provide an advantage, it is a subtle one!

Notes about gameplay in this mod:

1. Fraglimit 30
2. Quad Respawn: 2 to 4 minutes, random!
3. Haste increases your running speed 10%.
4. Regen increases health max to 150
5. All 4 classic runes are de-powered 50% from CTF style.

This is a great mod because it adds some spice to vanilla deathmatch to make it more interesting.

The wall climbing keeps the flow of maps fast and permits access to items normally that can only be obtained via rocket jumping, increasing the rate of play and this should also appeal more to new players who don't have rocket jumping skills.

I read de-powered by 50% and think "So... black magic does... 1x damage now?" Being as 1 is 50% of 2...

Ill watch the video later, dling it now.

That screenshot looks suspiciiously like Q2 all around.

That screenshot looks suspiciiously like Q2 all around.

It looks suspiciously like Qrack to me .

This is what my Qrack setup looks in game, only I play with the status bar on, so that the screen is the same size/aspect ratio as ProQuake, So I can switch back and forth.

The wall climbing should add some spice to the server these unique attributes is what makes servers visited *hint hint *nudge nudge *Bomber *cough

I like it, and if someone would ever get on the server, I'd be up for a game : D

Server notes:

- Q1Edge needs more guns
- Gibs disappear faster? What is backpack timeout limit is?
- Work on the map rotation, make sure all maps are in warp list.

Maps that played well ...

1) Aerowalk, until everyone got sick of me owning them so bad :d :d
2) Sanity
3) UltraV (outstanding FFA action, especially due to wall climb)
4) QTDM3

Skull and Schloss need more players to make those click. Dranzdm8 didn't seem to play so well with less players. A2 seemed to drag on a little at the end, so did RM. All those maps seem like 6 player minimum ones.

3) UltraV (outstanding FFA action, especially due to wall climb)

I'd pay Yellow money to remove UltraV from the warp list just to see Baker's reaction

[evilmegaman]

I loved the server! And how the hell did you make qrack look so good? I happen to use qrack and it looks no where near that good...

[Baker]

If you don't have the c:\quake\qrack\pak1.pak and c:\quake\qrack\pak2.pak with textures and more fun stuff, get them at http://www.quakeone.com/qrack

Or check out Yellow's profile and instant message him or something.

QRack needs a little better docs.

You do cl_teamskins 1 to turn on those skins (I think).

A new notes about the server:

The way wall jumping works, you just run up to a flat surface and keep jumping, BUT, you can also do this: in a corner (must be 90 degrees), just hold jump. it will shoot you straight up. You can use this to get up to quad from the pit area on sanity, for example.

Also, as stated, the runes are a bit less powerful, 1.5x rather than 2x. Regen is improved rather, as it slowly gives ammo for the weapon in hand.

One guy came to the server, and after about 5 mins of owning him, he said "gay runes" and left. I was trying to look for a command to turn them off, but couldn't find one. Shouldn't there be one, so the game can be adjusted to pure DM'ers only?
