Quake FAQs, HOWTOs, and Articles / Re: HOWTO: Creating map .override files

Is this the same as the RCON method I use?

load the map up you want to change and enter rcon password then:

rcon dumpents mapname  ; where mapname can be anything

Which creates an ent file in the Maps folder which I can edit then save as mapname.ent, matching the original mapname, then dropping the ent file into the Mapsent folder.

Then just restart map on server and it is done.

Is this the same?

Hi guys,

It's been a while.  Glad to see you're all still up and running after the sad news.

Anyway I have had a jump server running for a couple of months now and am now sure it is ultra stable and secure.
I've been admin on a few jump servers over the years and have learned how to manipulate and convert maps.
I have converted a few chaos dm, AQ2 and DP2 maps into jump maps as well as making dozens of my own in the MZC series of jump maps.
Currently the Finns are dominating the highscore tables in the latest wave of 'pros' and things need balancing out.  Finns mostly play on German server:    46.165.236.118:27910

My server is at 77.68.32.32:27910  (based in the UK).

I still play this game every day and have good association memories from playing against a lot of you guys in the past so I thought I'd share this.
Come have a look at some of my maps.  Maybe have fun, maybe challenge the Finns?

p.s.  I have a jump test server on port 27911 I will let anybody use if they want.

If you still have access to and can remember your email address you used to create the account you might try  to recover/change your password. I don't know any other way unless there is a forums admin who can force a password reset or change it for you.

Attachments and other options is the method for inserting a picture.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm still using the same email address I have used throughout my internet career.   toxicmonkey@ntlworld.com
The login thing tells me the username 'ToxicMonkey^MZC' does not exist, even though it is obviously there.  So nothing to do with passwords.

Oh well its not the end of the world.  Not like I come here every day

Hi guys,

Trying to log on with my original forum details and it says 'no such username exists' (the horror).

Any ideas?

Dunno how to post a pic in here, I forgot.

I'm shocked.  Tastyspleen servers have been an international institution since I can remember and I spent many, many hours there.

Early days I was a headache, like a stroppy child.  quadz always had such a level headed and tolerant approach to the shit that got thrown at him.

I was hugely impressed by his attitudes and this was something I took on board when I later became admin of a couple of jump servers.  He was a shining example.

Funny how you kind of expect somebody to just be there forever.  Massive condolences to his family.  I hope the community sticks together after his triumphant reign.

Yo guys I just stole this map and made it into a jump map.
I can put a message into the recompile and I'd like to give credit to the map maker.
Does anybody know who made this awesome map?
