What happened to Diesel Power?

Postby being » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:25 pm

What happened to the big map Diesel Power? It was one of the most well crafted maps in the game. Search didn't turn up much.

It was removed after it gave a few problems with the newer engine version in Nexuiz and general FPS problem.. Its still available for download here: http://141.2.16.3:7780/nex/maps/attic/

Could it be re-added? It is a very good map, well worthy of nexuiz.
It was the favorite map of my friends and I.
Another possiblity would be to make a Nexuiz-extended pk3 for very good fully GPLd maps for nexuiz that would be on the nexuiz downloadpage. That way a player could choose to get all the best fully opensource/free maps that have been made for nexuiz:
EX: apt-get install nexuiz-data-additionalmaps

No, this should not be one big PK3, but many PK3s, one for each map...

reason: that way, only server admins need the package, others would download the maps that are played in game.

But yes, Diesel Power still works fine in Nexuiz - apart from its ugliness in conjunction with deluxemapping (these were the engine problems IIRC) - and on my DM server, you can actually play it. Actually, it is running there right now...
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Ah, ok. Could the directory listing be linked from the download page? Maybe have a few directories according to rating:
Glory-awsome-map.
Not-as-good-as-blinding-triumph.
So debian etc know to make
