Hello Fellow Quaker! When I was a Newbie, I always heard and read that GOOGLE is my friend. Well, how true indeed! Google is How I find Quake sites, Files, Photos & More about Quake/Quake2.. If you've ever heard of Google hacking or Google Syntax. It IS the same thing where you use specific query terms to narrow down a file(s) in your search. The most common one is the "index" query. We will look for "quake2.exe". SO in google we type (Including Quotes) "index of/" "quake2.exe" We end up with [ About 183 results (0.22 seconds) ]Well- lately after searching and finding most of what I am looking for. I end up finding the same darn quake/quake2 sites over and over again. Now after seeing a site's tag showing up the domain as opposed to the 'index" like so (( quake2.exe Tripod.com )) Which as lead me to a way to find "New" or Forgotten sited cause they don't use common search terms. You'd be shocked at some very cool quake2/quake files I been finding lately! I have almost ran out of ideas and NEED YOUR HELP_PLEASE..I been finding some cool sites on Geocites.com so I used these terms "geocities" "files" "quake2" then I'll put down "TRIPOD" "Angelfire" and so on.. What other search or or Quake/Quake 2 terms can you think of? IE: Mod, Mods, Links, Servers, Files, Tripod, oocities.com, Webs.com, Hacks, Cheats, etc etc The more you suggest- the more sites, files I'll find and Not only Share them with everyone but PRESERVE QUAKE/QUAKE 2 History each site at a time on CD<DVD etc! Ideas? I WANNA HEAR THEM!!

I am here to pass on my great ideas that I used to use for map making with another game years ago. What I tried to never do was NEVEr be predictable. In a 1-10 or A-Z i'll throw out ideas to have you make those Infamous UZI Style Maps!
1) Name a couple to few maps in a similar way (Your going to make the startup and certain areas MATCh) However lets say you made 3 maps. Map21 , Map21a, Mapa21.. The START area should be identical as well as certain other starts. HOWEVER- whats SAFE in one should be FATAL in other or NOT lead to the same spot.(This keeps the player on his/her toes)
2) Make some of the SPAWN Pads bring the player to the START AREA of the map when they get near the end. (Gives the illusion map is bigger than it really is and they have a ways to go)
3) Put MORE than one secret in the SAME area AND make it a MANDATORY task to find them in order to move on the MAP.. (Example: A hole in the wall- then leads to Crate in next room to hole in floor. Which then leads to the NEXT area they need to continue.
4) Make things as they do NOT seem. Example: Player can/should/must hop into deadly acid in order to shoot a hole into a water pipe. Where there is health and a way out.
5) Bring player to the the area where there are more than one elevator, doorway and where 2 of 3 choices = DEATH! (test the players memory and ..lol. Patience) Death by water- flood of acid or lava. *Also try to make an area close looking in same map to further the confusion.
6) Give the "impossible" tasks with a SECRET way out. Keep the apperance they MUSt complete a task. Example would be: The player "MUST" jump onto a moving platform (Seen a lot in the game) above LAVA for a great distance. Meanwhile you have 3-4 Hornets kicking your ass.. Knockin u into acid. When all you really have to do is Climb a ladder inside the wall around it. (After you find the secret) Always put at least 2 secrets around so player thinks they found that "one'.
7) Lead the player into dead ends.. [ha ha] Example: have the elevator lead to outdoors. WHich leads to a DEAD Exit switch. (The REAL switch is above the elevator) So the player MUST- hit the switch and jump out. The get below or above it. Then exit.!! (Cool huh?) **Another DEAD -END. Add a black hole or 'deep' hole. When you walk above a grate. Your supposed to put a invisible item so you dont fall through. Well make that body of water or grate cover put you into the abyss. (Killing you) :-)
8) In a map of water holes and rivers.Have some of the bodies of water be DEADLY without any warning.(same color was water) One side the enemies are and the other side you jump in the opposite side only to be killed.
9) Deadly/Exploding Health , Ammo boxes :-)
10) Make a Map of Tunnel Mazes..! Have a few tubes re-enter a map area with ONLY one can actually enter into the a area. :-) Nothing drives a player crazier than forgetting where they were in a maze when they finally broke out times before. Meanwhile they keep on passing Bulletproof glass areas with the same etching and markings.. Yet ONLY one will break.
11) Put a timer in some of these TOUGH Areas OR- its gets flooded, explodes or they drown in water or acid.. What mean way to die! In a maze fo HOT Lava! Yet you WERE 2 tubes over from the shutoff.. SUCKS huh?! lol
12) Oh one of my favorites.. You MUST find the secret in order to start the map. Example: All secrets are optional. Why not make it so you MUST turn the valve for the water elevator to work?! It be different to EARN you way INTO the game at times..
13) The finish is in a SECRET area! :-) Example: On TOP of the building behind a wall- you shoot. WHich brings you onto the roof. Where the Exit is :-)
I had a MENTAL BLANK.Sorry I have a big mental blank.. This is not even close to my thoughts on this.
13a) ISn't the stairs, floors and dry land so darn cliche? Instead of 'walking' over a bridge , up the stairs to a elevator to the next landing..then from there to the otherwide of the from blue to red or red to blue. (typical MAP)
Instead Jump into the water, swim under the floors etc LISTEN- MY POINT IS- DONT ALWAYS MAKE THE ROUTE OBVIOUS.. Make then Jump to the top of the huge pile of crates. Shoot 2-3 and land in a small area that moves to onto the next part. Let the others stay stuck! :-)
Be Creative and be Fun! If I can figure whats going on in WC with the entities, I''ll get going on my ideas!

This gamer is assuming the locked in position ( great , I left the toilet paper under the sink ) bwahawhawww--> View AttachmentI remember some YOUNG gamer dropping dead after a 'long' marathon after sitting on a chair with a bucket after 52 hours of Quake DM. The rim with the help of his weight and never moving not even to schit or piss except in his immediate area in the 'bucket-toilet and pee container.. Eventually caused a clot in his leg(s) which went up into his lung(s)and killed him instantly. He wasn't even old enough drink I dont think.. Oh wait- here it is: www.spike.com/video-clips/71lpvc/1000-ways-to-die-game-overP.S. It was SIXTY HOURS Total!

Some of us may remember that file which allowed us to 'hide' while using their servers. How about the files they had for Quake and Quake 2? Others may remember and still have some of their files. Like their Heat *Quake II HEAT Pak* heatq2pak9.zip (It's file name) Plus there was some other software. If you could get me ANY stuff from the HEAT ..I'll be VERY happy and surprised and Happy..But did I already say that? Here's shit you didn't know about heat.net! Their PEACE Rallies! Sadly the concept died.."Heat".

Due to this economy the rate of which sites that used to carry Quake/Quake 2 goodies are disappearing EVERYDAY just about. I have a 'few' CD's, USB Pendrives of Quake Stuff that I am collecting for historical and collective reasons. BUT- I find that many of these programs,apps,mods etc that I have been looking for is on people's hard drives. Then one day they change their OS and everything is gone. I KNOW this cause I am told "I should fo asked the week before cause they JUST deleted it"! GRR! WELL- Where Do YOU Come in on all of this?I found these HUGE File HOSTS.. www.google.com/drive/about.html?authuser=0 (Holds 15GB) bayfiles.net/ (5GB with No sign up!)I would sign up to be safe.. SO All I am asking is you UPLOAD EVERYTHING Quake/Quake2 Related you have.. [PLEASE] I'd love to go through them and preserve what I don't have. I then will host the files at the Bunker, Atomicgamer etcI'm looking for 88x31 Buttons, MODS, SKINS, Apps,ISO, Walnut Creek CD's, etc etc Programs of ALL types Related. CUSTOM Files are a Plus! Evermore from CLOSED Websites where they can't be found anymore. After all is said and done or wondering if I want certain things. Just MSG ME and go from there. Thanks!!

Ah-ha ha hah! My Atomicgamer link has ALL of them too.. If you already havent figured it out. I look for cool quake stuff and I do my best to find everything and I put it out for all to notice. I put that one on atomicgamer years back. I decided to add all of the available ones in one file. Now I had issues making more route maps but that was on 3.24 and not 3.14 One could walk their map and make the map file and add it to the collection I suppose. Either way- they still find ya!

Who made it and where's the code? Sorry- I can't tell you.. They said I have ti kill someone I tell OR you have to change your name to the UNhappy Friar.. I'm not killing someone unless the words 'divorcing' or 'losing everything' are in the same sentence! SO, guess what?! I still can;t get the source but I can get the SOURCES they got it from. SGM FilesIf my memory server me correctly- in the text file they mention the 2 or 3 sources. I am almost Pos+ there isnt a 'specific' SRC file under this MOD directly but you CAN do it with what they provide. It kinda gets even better- with this DLL is it has a Tracking feature I never brought up. You can use this on ANY MAP and make NEW Route files for it. You'll see , it's a fast learner. Originally based off of the Monster Mod but was rewritten from scratch. Open up one of the internal .zip where there the same sgm.txt It would be WONDERFUL if more was done with this! It has taken the 'boredom' out of SP/Coop for us seasoned players. Well there you are HAPPY FRIAR! :-)

QUAKE II PEEK is a nifty little program above all. This cool little thing monitors many Quake 2 servers activities of your choice. Plus you get to pick several ports on each server. You all can watch wh's playing, who's joining. Even allowing you to say something to them. Hell you don't even need Quake 2 or a browser installed to do all of this. Then when something changes in one of the servers, you can set it to open the game, make a tone,show you or do nothing at all. You can watch as maps are changed, players enter, their frags,etc You may also set your name,level and much more. I KNOW I'm leaving a bit of cool shit out.This is a MUST addition to Quake 2 Game, also with the Server Browser too. Also for LAN and Internet. Single Player and Multiplayer. Plus there are more features Like INVITE! P.S. Sorry i fell asleep while editing this and I seen the 77 Views and downloads. Even though the exe wasn't there sorry! Here: QUAKE II PEEK FILEOr get it from the attachment.
