qstns abt. existing maps out there. (secrweap, suppl, some castl)

(aaa3) #1

it is somewhat off in an editing forum but, hell, here are some peeps who are since long ago knowing et and the ustom mapping scene; so:

1, any1 has an readme file of sos_secret_weapons? (and 1b, emails of authors?) - i was able only to dl it in pure pk3 with no readme inside, or zip purely containing t. pk3; and luckily at one dl site there was a quotation from which very much seemed to me an excerpt from an existing readme made for the map and bny the authors. any link i came by (for ex. there are some at the authors profile pages sig subpage) or google search are 404 (?)

2, what is the difference between supply, and supplydepot [1] ? i believe s is older than sd, made before the warious later sequels hav ebeen made - eg. coz its smalle rby ca. 1 mb, and there is missing the 2 musics which are present in all follownig versions; and also, that that is from the same author. (pk3 lacks any readme) BUT, in sd1’s readme there is a section which warns users to remove prev beta etc test version which clearly have completely differnet names so that most likely possiblity is also out that it is an earlier beta-alpha-fp-etc-like subversion of the same release.

3, i have some picture about some castle i believe from here the sd forum, but when saved frogot to properly caption it, search nowhere gave results. i upload there as an attachment, resized and brightened; any1 recognises it or can give the topic in which it was posted? iirc it was some avoc map?? just a wild guess (p.s.: i believe the file name is the unchanged original - at least the name in the stricter sense, vithout the extension - i have the habit of mass-renaming jpegs to jpg with tc sometimes after searching the whole pic dir of mine.)

and an offtopic question - erm, forgot while typing post. :frowning: will edit l8r -.-

  1. no readme offhand but first line of script file is
// SOS_Secret_Weapon SCRIPT by fre2d/Fredrik Segerfalk - Sons Of Stollig: fre2d@segerfalk.com

and the mapper created the thread here-in (though the mappers links are 404) which I think you found. The other SOS member (Cronium) I found herein seems likewise inactive. But segerfalk.com still exists and its whois record looks like it belongs to the mapper. So try the email, or the phone number, or mailing address.
(BTW the short paragraphs I found online look either to be from the arena file or the SD thread).

  1. Supplydepot is the original ET map by Ginc followed by supplydepot2. Supplydepot3 came next but is a winter recompile with extras by EB by permission of Ginc. Supply came after just to incorporate script fixes from Mortis (and others) to the supplydepot2 version, as well as to kill the annoying Beethoven and decrease the file size. I don’t recall by who, but it uses the original bsp of supplydepot2. Then most recently round about the time the original .map made the rounds Supplypro was created (new compile) by eTTp`Igloo. It is a night version with repairable truck.

  2. Don’t know

[esp. to tomtoms about the supply, perfect info.
(the threads (act. there is 2) i found myself too, and the names in the script too; the email seems i havent noticed or forgot by the time made the post. yeah didnt remember from the name but as now revisited the site i know i saw that one too, “for me it was 404” xD in the broader meaning of 404 ie finding an for example apache default page, or parking lot, whatever, is not 404 but still not what u want. and the whoising of such a page, damn excellent idea :O. didnt find croniums userpage neither, only the other sos account.)]
