ETQW Community Forums Down?

(ED209) #181

Yeah, whenever I needed to look up a config setting or something like that the forums were the place to go.

And Hozz’s terrain tutorials were priceless, I spend ages going through earthsculptor and mainly blender following everything step bij step, which is the only way I could ever get my terrain in the game.

I recently wanted to look up a map of all the deployable locations for Quarry. I know they were posted in the old forums. Are they anywhere else? Who knows.

Sponge has a map viewer on his site

You can create the image yourself quite easily:

[ol]
[li]Load the map you want in offline mode (you’ll need to enable cheats to use writeImage later)[/li]

net_allowCheats 1
si_rules sdGameRulesObjective
spawnServer quarry

[li]Enter this in the console (you can actually just enter writeImage comm then press tab, it should auto-complete the rest)[/li]

writeImage commandmaps/quarry

[li]Close the game and look in wherever your ETQW configs get saved (you could just do a search for quarry.tga if you don’t know where this is).[/li][li]Open pak000.pk4 from ETQW’s install folder as a zip file and extract masks/quarry/default.tga (canyon and valley were updated in a patch, their masks are in pak007.pk4)[/li][li]Open both images in some image editing program, scale default.tga to the size of the command map (use nearest-neighbour interpolation (might be called no interpolation) to clearly show the boundaries of the deploy spots)[/li][li]Use default.tga as a mask for a full-green layer or something then set the alpha on this layer to 50%[/li][li]Should get something like the linked image, if so you’re done![/li][/ol]

EDIT: Why the hell does this post break the tables? :frowning:

How many days has it been for AV to fix it now? Must be in breach of some kind of SLA

We should have the Official Forums Death Clock

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not have an estimate of when it will be fixed.

Support could just guess then by choosing a calender event for the problem to be resolved… Valentine’s Day, Easter, Christmas, Judgement Day, release of Duke Nukem forever

Hello & Thank you for contacting Activision!

That server has been taken down. It will not be put back up.

Guess that finishes it.

As they would say in Mortal Combat…

“Fatality!”

(maggol) #196

Activision really fail in this matter, why they not give SD the archive of the forum. At least the modding forum.

(.Chris.) #197

That’s pretty crap.

(Ryan) #198
