(Khamul) #461

New maps are awesome!! ( all are the best XD ) Wake 13 vs 13 = D-Day gg

ZeBlob is still around??? :o :o :o

(Donnovan) #463

The restart was a problem in the server campaign file. Scrupus fixed it already.

(Khamul) #464

Someone can upload all maps in website like rapidshare or other?
My friends need it because qw has error when they are trying download…

Hi,

the ingame download problem is usually caused by an unfortunate limitation in the client - it can only download a certain amount of maps at the time, so if they miss most or all of them, it will get problems. It’s usually enough to reconnect after the failure and it will fetch the rest.

But, as we should make it as easy as possible to get fresh human food - cough I mean new players - on the custom servers, I’ve prepared a new pack with all the current maps on the nirvana server into one zip file. Note that this one is biiiiig - about 1.4GB - and includes a few extra maps that are currently not in rotation on the server. Anyway it should be easier and faster to download this way hopefully, so give it a try:

I recommend to unzip the maps into $fs_savefolder/base, as that’s where they would go if you download them ingame (so you avoid duplicates)

Let me know how this works for your friends, and also let me know asap if there should be any problems with the zip or the download itself.

1.4 GB of custom stroggification - poor human food! :oppressor:

Oh whoops, was browsing in tabs

Can’t seem to play Estate 2 anymore, as soon as i connect i get ‘Invalid Image Data.’ but i can play other maps. Anyone know why?

(.Chris.) #471

Clear out any estate pk4s in all your base directories and remove any estate megatextures from the megatexture folders, then download again from server, if that doesn’t fix it I don’t know.

(Dthy) #472

Hmm, i don’t have any estate.pk4’s. And i can’t seem to find the location of any custom maps, weird. Pretty sure im using the right path (D:\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base)

(.Chris.) #473

They are a few places they can be try, Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base That’s where auto download stuff goes.

(Dthy) #474

Hmm, still can’t find it. Documents and Settings doesn’t seem to exist on my computer o.O (Win7, 32 bit)

(.Chris.) #475

Oh, don’t know about win7, do a file search. It’s a hidden folder anyway I think.

(Scrupus) #476

Dtwish, downloaded content end up in a hidden folder on win7. As the stupid M$ dudes insist on using localized filepath names, it’s a bit difficult to tell the exact location, but if you open the console in QW and type “fs_savepath”, it should give you the correct location.

When you find it, I recommend to add a shortcut to it’s location, so you don’t have to search for it every time.

(Dthy) #477

Cheers Scrupus, i found them now but there isn’t any pk4’s for estate, only for all the other maps.

(Scrupus) #478

It’s called vioestate, and you probably have it already - if not you wouldn’t be able to connect to the server today at all. But the problem isn’t missing map, but wrong megatexture inside the latest version. vio have to repack it I think. As a quickfix, you can open the latest vioestate pk4 with a zip program, and extract the megatexture there manually. This goes for Boktor too - I noticed that he was kicked by server today due to wrong or missing mega

“invalid image data” error = wrong/old megatexture.

(hozz) #479

Server seems to be suddenly down?
It was very laggy today. Not sure if that means something.

€: working again

(Violator) #480

The mt is ‘.mega’ in a2 where it should be ‘.dat’. Fortunately it hasn’t changed since a1 so a simple rename within the a2 pk4 should fix it (its fixed in a3 btw).
