Custom Map Nirvana - Reborn


(Boktor) #721

Well I had to leave early today and only got to play a couple maps

Was still fun! And fortunately I still got to see Khamul’s vampire skills on Abusir:

Seems like Khamul has gone from pro spectator to pro teamkiller.


(Ecano) #723

Awesome the Khamul score :penguin:

Thanks for the games

Some unexpected gangbang happened on Estate 2 recently. The exquisite Baloon-Magog got a direct Hammer hit but survived. Baloon too. ^^



And some of the last Nirvana rosters :wink:

I’m sorry to announce, that the Nirvana server will be shutdown today or tomorrow - this includes all the servers there, including Custom Map Nirvana, Dusk mod, Brace mod, and the test server.

I got a copy of all the files and the map repo, and will try to put the map repo online elsewhere a bit later.

But the game server itself will die - it’s been running for more than 5 years now, but will probably not respawn again :frowning:

I’ve had a ton of fun there during the years, both on the gaming side and the server side. QW custom server support was a tricky beast to handle, but I like a technical challenge and it felt really good every time we managed to figure out something new about this “alien” tech - or get a new map to test and get it running.

And even better to meet all the players who dared to enter the custom side of QW - I thank all players for your outstanding support, both by playing, suggesting stuff, organizing stuff, and generating a really good player atmosphere on the server.

I don’t think we ever had to use any admin power to ban or kick people, it all runned well by itself - you guys are great, and I will miss the good old Sunday events, especially in the early years when it was always a lot of action. :hog:

Special thanks to all who helped with the technical stuff - you know who you are! :slight_smile:

And ofc a big thank to all the map authors, who have spent so much time building the maps and worlds we have all enjoyed - I just have to repost this video, showing most of the maps and the author names:

But well, all things have an end, and this is the day to say goodbye to ETQW Nirvana - R.I.P.

Thank you all, it’s been a pleasure to host this for so long - for the Makron! :oppressor:

:stroggflag:

Thank you Scrupus for giving us a home!


(Ashog) #734

R.I.P. Nirvana!

I have had gazillions of hours of fun and got to know a lot of friends and nice people solely thanks to this server.
Don’t think I will ever forget those fun years! Also dat fun of making the Nirvana vids :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot to Scrupus for maintaining and supporting the custom map scene - without you the map scene would have been dead in a matter of months. Thanks to ALL mappers who managed to get their maps to a playable version that could be launched on Nirvana - especially because mapping for ETQW isn’t an easy task.

But hey, let’s keep in touch in other games, even tho this is a sad moment!


(Ecano) #735

Thank your Scrupus, sad new.


(d3v1ous1) #736

Thank you Scrupus. Been fun!


(Scrupus) #737

Oh yeah Ashog, there will be more battlefields and worlds to fight for - and more teabaggins to distribute! :smiley:

I forgot to include the final funeral march - raise the flags!:stroggflag:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


(light_sh4v0r) #739

Sad to hear, even though I’ve not been there for a long time. Thanks for everything Scrupus, ETQW custom maps wouldn’t have been the same without your servers and efforts!!


(CaliberWorkz) #740

The 10-15 times that i’ve played were very fun.

R.I.P :frowning:
