quake.ie Q2 and QW Servers Revamped

Mad busy with quake.ie again since I came back from Japan. Here’s what I’ve been at.

Quake 2 Servers

• Updated q2ffa1.quake.ie so it cycles through all 47 levels randomly (i.e., maps base1 through to boss2, and all the q2dmx levels). match1 has not been added to this server.
• Added match1 to both the random cycling levels on q2duel1.quake.ie, and also to the voting option.
• Started using the Battleground 0.99 patch on q2war1.quake.ie, this allows for proper wars with teams and voting.
• Upgraded all servers to Quake 2 3.15. I was hanging on for 3.16, but there’s been no sign so why wait.

QuakeWorld Servers

• Added the UKCTF 1.333 patch to ctf1.quake.ie, making it the first Irish CTF server to allow level voting. When more than 50% of players agree, the server moves on to the next level in the sequence. Now we decide on a sequence!
• Upgraded the duel1.quake.ie and duel2.quake.ie servers to Crystal Duel 1.7.
• Fixed arena1.quake.ie, it was starting off on normal levels.
• Upgraded all servers to QuakeWorld 2.21, including Guns Island (quake.ucg.ie).

Cloud in Japan

Have you seen Earthworm Jim’s report on my trip to Japan yet?! If not, check out the Guns Islanders news page for more.

mgduel1 Final Release

By the way, we are running the final release of “The Good Place?” on our Guns Island duel server, get it from MoonGlum’s Quake Page.

IQCL Finals

It looks like the IQCL Finals ‘98 will be postponed until the weekend of the 20 June. Mouserat is AWOL in Atlanta next week so without our main organiser, there wouldn’t be much point holding it. More later, we are having talks tonight.
