There are HIPNOTIC and ROGUE's servers to play DM online?

Hi!

I'm new in Q1 but I enjoyed this wonderful game (). I have 2 original CDs, one of Q1 and 1 of Mission Pack 1 (Scourge of Armagon). I have Mission Pack 2 too (Dissolution of Eternity, this is very awesome!), but I download it full.

I would love to know if there is any server in the world of both mission packs! I know that gamedir folder these MPs are "HIPNOTIC" (mp1) and "ROGUE" (mp2). They are inside to the Q1 folder, when are installed in order. I love these MPs, then I need know where I can play deathmatches online on these MP games?

Thanks in advance!

Sadly neither have servers I know of.
This is mainly due to them having very little to add to Quake 1 - as the only "extras" that they brought are only featured in the maps that came with the mission packs.
So if we were to play Mission Pack 1 on DM3 - it would play exactly the same as standard Quake as the weapons exclusive to MP1 are not present on DM3. The same goes for MP2 - although in the code when you pick up the (Super)Nailgun and Rocket/Grenade Launcher and Lightning Gun - you do also pick up the Lava Nailguns, Multi Rocket/Grenade Launcher and the PlasmaGun - however they are not available to use until you pick up their ammo - in which is also not present in the standard maps.

So they had limited playability as they were limited to the maps that came with the pack. Now if a mod was made that had the mission packs weapons/powerups and had them randomly replace the standard weapons/powerups - they would work in all maps available. Maybe something I can consider for the mini mod I am working on.

Ok, but this is a bit obvious, no? To use the Mission Packs's features you need to play THE MOD! If you want play and to use the Mjolnir, you need play in Scourge of Armagon! Is same with Dissoluiton of Eternity! Each Mission Pack has his own features like new maps, weapons, items, etc.

For eg.: MP1 have 1 DM map (hipdm1 - The Edge of Oblivion), then only this map you will get new weapons and items. In quake2 is same thing. You need have the both mission packs in order and play in your own maps to use all nwe features they!

So I do not see many problems not to have servers running in q1's mission packs! The only obstacle for people to play on these servers is that it must have the mission packs!

Now if a mod was made that had the mission packs weapons/powerups and had them randomly replace the standard weapons/powerups - they would work in all maps available. Maybe something I can consider for the mini mod I am working on.

What you're saying it's about creating a new MOD for bringing together all of the Mission Packs features? It's a good idea, but it would be too easy simply to create some servers of mission packs? Yes, because they contain many maps. Ok, are single-player maps, but you can also play them like DM matches, no any monsters, or am I wrong?
But if the problem is lack appropriate FFA aor even Duel maps to both mission pakcs, so why so far no one has created specific maps it?


Well, I was thinking about creating a residential server of Scourge of Armagon to run on weekends. Any link to tutorial on how to create a simple DM of FFA server?

Sorry my poor english and thanks in advance!
