An idea for Q2 map archive

[Guggenheim]

There's a great site with Q3 maps: ws.q3df.org/

As you can see, it's very convinient: there's previews for each map, lots of info, you can use filters for search. What if there will be something for Q2?

Of course, it would be difficult to make such site, but is it possible to organize our file server in this way? At least attach screenshots and some tags: SP, DM, CTF etc.

[grieve[Q2C]]

sure, it could be demanding, but it's an idea.

Are you owner of file server? Is it possible to make pages with screenshots for each map?

[grieve[Q2C]]

yep, I am the owner .... but currently I don't have the web design skillz.

will take some time.

If such site would ever be implemented, I would even donate for support.

duke3d ftp has a working archive of planetquake stuff if i remember well

Something on par with Quaddicted would be nice.

Hi! I've been blocked in discord for some reason.
There's only CTF maps?

There was an awesome archive years ago for Q1, Q2 and HL1 maps called tenfournaps, but it got hacked and is now lost because some nerd unsatisfied with their existance decided to make life sad for other people who enjoyed sharing maps for others to play.

I thought TenFour got shut down when Telefragged closed. The forums did get hacked and shut down prior to that, though.

Not sure. I knew something got hacked. I forgot that tenfour was hosted on telefragged. That explains it.

I wish there was another sit that had all those great Quake 2 maps still.

[grieve[Q2C]]

well, on q2cafefiles.com we have quite a lot of them ....
