Since the forum FTP service is still down, you may have noticed that the Q3A Editing Archives are no longer available. They are still cached on the server, it's just that access to them is somewhat difficult. Cached Threads You can still search for topics on the server using Google. See here on the easiest way to search for a particular archived thread: http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=161 I've also found a bunch of old threads on the "Way Back Machine". Pretty cool, you can even look for threads all the way back to 1999 when this place was owned by M-Player. You might even be able to find some of my newbie posts: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.quake3world.com Hope that helps until we get things working again. Please post any archived thread links and I'll add a list here. In the meantime, please post any important threads that you feel should eventually be archived. I'll be adding your request to the list below. |

I'm wondering if we should move this thread into the Link Resources as 4 posts? Plus maybe add reference them in the first getting started post. That would open up a sticky for my "Quake 4 Mapping FAQ" should that turn out to be useful. |

To the best of my knowledge the quake server was not used much if at all, and was taken down a while back. So that frees up your sticky slot. As it were. |

OK... might still be nice to merge the Archives into Resources. |

Honestly I think a forum is not the best conduit for such things. My suggestion would be to host the document on an external server or seperate file or series of documents, then link it in a sticky. Forums are great for discussion, not so great for huge wads of static text. |

AEon, with what we have now, if you still feel froggy, you could merge the 2 threads. |

None of the old UBB links work anymore since the massive forum migration. We're no longer owned or hosted by IGN (yay!), instead our domain is owned by id Software (does that make us Zenimax?) and the forum is hosted on some free server space that DooMer managed to get. The archives are sitting on a DVD archive somewhere and DooMer hasn't gotten around to restoring them. No ETA, but I give him a swift kick from time to time as a reminder. |

Holy Cow! Was just looking at some of the old threads from back in 2002 and saw my old collaborative map thread. Memories |

@obsidian: Perhaps you can edit your listing post? http://q3a.ath.cx/?editing=radiant_tutorials |

Pretty much none of those links still works Obsidian, we all should communicate about cleaning up the stickies one of these days. |

As far as I can see, none of them works? |

They don't work, but you can copy and paste the urls to http://web.archive.org I agree with doing some kind of cleanup though. Not sure how best to approach this. |

Post subject: | Re: Quake III Editing Archives |
q3a.ath.cx moved to new sites, i think it has something to do with defrag sites, I can't remember the new location now. Try to google Worldspawn archive and it should find the sites... //EDIT: http://ws.q3df.org/level_design/ - new location of the level design guidelines (Radiant tutorial), the same sites, but in another location... |

All archived links now auto redirect to the webarchive versions so they can at least be read. Obviously externally hosted images like screenshots are most likely gone forever, but hey it's something. |

There is no reason to use archive as the sites are still working, just in another location: http://ws.q3df.org/level_design/ |

CZghost, that's not the same thing. Next time you're looking up how to use hint brushes, I'll link you to an awesome recipe for home made bagels. MKJ, thanks brah! |
