I'm trying to set up a second server and get it placed on the GOTO network as ROTAMAPS. The GOTO portion is not set up yet but the server is live: 24.131.69.189:27911 Right now it is dominated by my own maps. I want to start putting up maps from Q2C members and TS members. I may be a little selective though. I tend to use the zaniest maps and avoid the most asthetically pleasing. Everyone else hosts the good looking maps but the maps with the most interesting gameplay (like Yendor's and Skies) never get hosted. So that all being said, let me know if you want a map added to the list and I'll put it on as soon as I can. This probably won't be a huge heavy traffic server but I'll haunt it frequently and try to organize some times to get the creators in on their own levels  |

I have that in the map list already  Currently there is no goto or mymap. I'm going to work out getting those features with quadz. Right now the list just happens to be in alphebetical order, so Shardic and Yggdrasil are near the end. |

Sweet! Just checked it out.... like the Jail Map... lots of typing "kill" in the console if you're in there alone though! Killer idea for a server... a link to a ZIP with all the maps/textures would be awesome! Hint hint |

Doesn't r1q2 support auto-dl anyway?

I have never been able to get R1Q2 to even get close to the stock v3.20 engine. Everyone says it runs better and faster, etc., but on about 6 different computers I've tried it on, the stock engine at least doubles the frame-rate of the R1Q2 engine/dll. I've looked into this, and the general consensus is no one knows why.
It is my belief that it has in part to do with the sound system - R1Q2 hangs for about 3 seconds every time a new in-game sound occurrs (the first time someone fires a railgun, etc.). Seems that R1Q2 does not properly pre-load and buffer the sounds. Thereafter, most sounds will still lag the engine by about 50mS per occurrence. Suffice it so say, I've given up on R1Q2, but have deep respect for the guys that put it together. This most venerable game deserves an update...
Maybe it works best under Linux....
But of course, the stock engine's download system is excruciatingly slow.

Quadz is awesome, he added the server to the goto network as ROTAMAPS For those of you not familiar with the goto network you just connect to a tastyspleen.net server and then type "goto servername". Example: connect tastyspleen.net GOTO ROTAMAPS |

How do I get Tastyspleen to connect me to an empty server or map that I already have (like a hub or start map) so I don't have to wait for Q2 to download a map and a bunch of files I won't be using?

You could connect directly to my IP 24.131.69.189:27911 Or you can join a tastyspleen server that only runs standard maps, like DM (74.54.186.226:27916) or sheridan (74.54.186.226:27913) The entire Tastyspleen server listing can be found at: tastyspleen.net/quake/servers/list.cgi |

Changing formats to be a map of the day server. I'll have this run with only 1 map at a time with the "samemap" flag on.
Currently running digwogdm (surprisingly fun!)
After today I'll add a rotation of like 2 or 3 maps and just start swapping out that rotation. So it will still be "map of the day" it will just have 2 other maps to add some variety.
