Q4Files back up

[Foo]

Different style, modded canned script... but it should do what we need:
http://q4files.escapedturkey.net/quake4/pk4s/

AutoDL script is the same as it was before:

Code: Select all

//START

//Turn on web AutoDl
net_serverdownload "2"

//Base Fileserver Path
net_serverDlBaseURL "http://q4files.escapedturkey.net/quake4/pk4s/"

//List of Files
net_serverDlTable "*"

//END

Quake4world domain is still fagged up

[KO]

Wheres the old site? I miss descriptions and screenshots.

[Foo]

Yeah I know, but we decided they were more useful for gamers whereas we're providing the space more for server admins to have a fast host to load off.

[iluvquake4]

Swimsuit models section coming soon!


Okay, not really. :icon27:

[Foo]

You had my hopes up and stuff.

Thanks Foo! When and where could we upload new files?

[Foo]

http://q4files.escapedturkey.net/quake4/pk4s/
Any of the subfolders have an upload form at the top of the page.

[TTK-Bandit]

nice job, upload is available in no time
though having a little description would be nice.

[GODLIKE]

You guys are doing a great thing, here. Keep it up.

Foo rocks! :icon31:

How should we go about asking for an outdated pk4 to be removed?

[Foo]

escapedturkey@escapedturkey.com will be the fastest route at the mo, I'm mostly away for the now

[AnthonyJa]

I see no reason to delete any files, except for those that are corrupt.

You cannot be sure that servers have taken the old version down, and if you remove it then you'll stop people being able to connect.

If you're planning on releasing an updated version, and thats why you want to replace an existing file, DO NOT GIVE IT THE SAME FILENAME. If you do this, you will cause chaos with connecting to servers and playing demos. Give it a different filename, with some kind of version in the name.[/code]

[Hex]

Agreed, mostly.

q4hexdm1beta2.pk4 for example, should be removed because the map has gone final. If anyone is still running that beta, then they should be broken.

The alternative, of course, as you suggest is to keep everything there forever. As one who runs servers of all types, I know keeping unnecessary files around is something to be avoided when possible.

[AnthonyJa]

Agreed on convincing everyone to upgrade. I wish server admins werent still running q4max 0.73 + q4 1.1, but they are. Punishing the players for lazy / unobservant admins isnt the solution though.

Plenty of admins wont notice you've released a final version, and it'll just mean there are more servers that people cannot connect to.

I'm sure turkey has plenty of disk-space. I'd say its not worth deleting until you know that there is no server with the file.

//Base Fileserver Path
net_serverDlBaseURL "http://q4files.escapedturkey.net/quake4/pk4s/"

//List of Files
net_serverDlTable "*"

//END

Can this be added to the main site please? Instructions for server admins -- lines to be put in their configs.

[Foo]

Sorry man, I've been away for a few days in Sheffield, sitting exams.

Will get right on it.

[iluvquake4]

That's okay. Hope your exams went well for you.

[xchaser]

in the q4max section the jdra4map1.pk4 is out dated and needs to be replaced with the new one http://www.funlabor.com/engine/ironsun/ ... a4map1.pk4

[AnthonyJa]

Bleh @ jdra4map1.pk4

Did nobody point the mapper at my rant above?

Also, wtf are maps doing in the q4max dir, that should only be used for q4max specific files, and there are no q4max specific maps. All maps belong in q4base unless they can only be used with that mod.

Maybe the non-q4base dirs need locking for all but the mod authors.

[xchaser]

we are using that map in clan arena.

[iluvquake4]

Maybe the non-q4base dirs need locking for all but the mod authors.

That's a good idea, if possible. :icon31:

Man that looks gay.
