QuakeOne Challenge Tres

[Canadian*Sniper]

THE CHALLENGE IS OVER

1:17

**********************************

Fulfilling the requirements, Slugnut has completed the quakeone challenge in 1:17 using two very smart techniques. If you still wish to beat the challenge, you have a week to fulfill the same requirements except you have to beat Slugnut's time instead of 2 minutes.

**********************************

Like Zomg another one?!?!?! Fuck! I wonder what the challenge is going to be this time. Thankfully this is more of a quake related challenge. And no one is going to be able to complete it because you're all newbs.

There are three 1 player servers setup thanks to Polarite, Phenom, and Vis:

• whitehot.quakeone.com:26000 (America)
• 76.220.231.130:26000 (America)
• quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26004 (Europe)
• quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26005 (Europe)

They will only run the map e3m2 and your job is to speed run it. Right now I have the time limit set for 2 minutes. If 2 weeks go by with no winners, I'll give you guys another minute. I know it's tight.

What you are required to do is demo yourself completing the map in under 2 minutes. Some clients will not record passed the first map change but I've heard that there are tools to cut in between them. But just to be safe, bind a key to RECORD Q1C for every attempt you make.

Requirements:

• You can't die once. If you die, start over by using "Impulse 111"
• The first shambler you come across has to die by any means necessary
• You must supply a valid quake demo as proof

Fulfill the requirements and complete the level before the 2 minute timelimit and you get the PRIZE! I'll let Baker come up with a prize. Probably another custom name tag again

GL HF DD I'm just kidding you're going to die.

A lot.

Cheers (b)

oh ya, if you do complete it there will be a 1 week wait for anyone who can beat your time.

@Baker. Could you announce this on the frontpage perhaps? I don't care if it's a one liner

edit: Thanks Baker

You rock Sniper! Keeping the community alive...

[L3ftisM]

cool idea....i may check it out.

[=peg=]

for those of you using Qrack: dont use cl_autodemo for this for it will crash..

(incompatibility issue with DarkPlaces server.. maybe the latest Qrack build has fixed this.. i dunno)

[cowgod]

i can't connect. is the server full if it just keeps trying to reconnect over and over again?

I first ran qstat to see if anyone was in the server.

# qstat quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26004
ADDRESS           PLAYERS      MAP   RESPONSE TIME    NAME
quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26004  0/ 1     e3m2    187 / 0   QuakeOne Challenge 3

# qstat quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26005
ADDRESS           PLAYERS      MAP   RESPONSE TIME    NAME
quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26005  0/ 1     e3m2    203 / 0   QuakeOne Challenge 3

Looks empty. I'll fill up one server and try connecting with another client to see what messages I get.

Darkplaces:

]connect quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26005

Trying to connect...
"challenge 3y>[email protected]<V" received, sending connect request back to 84.198.99.145:26005
Got challenge response
Server is full.

WinProquake:

]connect quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26005
Setting port to 26005
trying...
Server is full.
Host_Error: connect failed

Seems normal. I'd tried connecting with WinProquake when the server was in intermission. I connected just fine.

I don't know what to tell you. Maybe the server was occupied at the time or maybe the quake engine you're using just behaves that way. What quake engine are you using?

It could also be your ISP not allowing you to connect there. You can try one of these two commands: ping or traceroute (tracert on windows)

ping quake1challenge3.mine.nu

If you get a response, your ISP isn't the problem

traceroute quake1challenge3.mine.nu

If traceroute finishes without showing the code below then your ISP isn't the problem:

  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  3     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  4     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  5     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  6     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  7     *        *        *     Request timed out.

[cowgod]

the dns name does resolve to an ip so that's not the problem.

i tried using ezquake. i'll try a few other engines to see what i get. it is also possible that i didn't setup my router correctly...

[=peg=]

Did you set the correct port? Depending on the client either connect like this:

connect quake1challenge3.mine.nu:26004

or like this:

port 26004
connect quake1challenge3.mine.nu

[Canadian*Sniper]

i tried using ezquake. i'll try a few other engines to see what i get. it is also possible that i didn't setup my router correctly...

ezquake is a quakeworld engine and the 2 darkplaces servers are running under the QUAKE protocol which means only netquake clients can join. So that might be the problem.

Try giving Proquake, Unofficial Proquake, Joequake, Qrack, or Darkplaces a try.

Phenom was feeling saucy tonight so he's now hosting the quakeone challenge. So you white people in America will have better ping now! Thanks Phenom!

76.220.231.130:26000

[Phenom]

I do what I can.

Now I can do this f*cking challenge with a 0 ping! >=^D

[Canadian*Sniper]

Oh nvm about a public server then. Phenom is going to be hogging it all week

Damn right!

J/K if I see one more horde of zombies I'm going to delete C*S from my IM list for causing me so much grief with his new zombies and their new dash attack...

*TIP don't let them corner you or you die. heh

[Canadian*Sniper]

Don't die! It's a perfect plan! If you don't die you can't lose!

But the undead zombies have a similar plan. And since they're already dead they have to make sure they Don't.... suck!

Thanks to Vis, whitehot.quakeone.com is now hosting the quakeone challenge.

So how are people fairing at it?
