Hi Ake Vader!

I can never go directly on play/watch on QTV website. I always have to click with right mouse button, save on my PC, and then open the saved file.

Do you know how can I do to be able to click and lunch QW directly from the Chrome?

Thanks!

Thanks!

When i use Chrome to do this, Chrome will automatically only download the file when i left-click on the "Watch" link for example and it ends up in the bottom "downloaded files bar". However, there is an arrow next to the downloaded file where i can choose "Always open this type of file" (or something similar) and here on after it will immediately get you in the game when you press "Watch".

The "Play" link gives me a prompt the first time i pressed it, asking if i really wanted to open this type of file and i could choose to "Always open this type of file". Note that this assumes you've first executed the register_qwurl_protocol command above and is using ezQuake that is at least version 1.9 alpha build that was built 2007-10-13 (copy/pasted from my link above).

Edit: my tests were made using Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 m

Can we add a qw:// (QWURL) for the watch links? A link like this would work perfectly: qw://3@quakeworld.fi:28000/qtvplay

Hey,

I just saw, that when you google "nquake2" you get the link for nquake2 but this is the description in the google listing


"Interested in QuakeWorld? nQuake is a QuakeWorld package that simplifies the downloading and installing of QuakeWorld for both beginners and experienced ..."

Does it take a while until google updates the descriptions? Because I still see the nquake and not the nquake2 description.

The Localghost mirror seems down

Would be nice if the installer tried another mirror if the first automatically chosen one fails considering the error message comes late in the process.

Keep up the great work

Localghost mirror is still down, does anyone know who's hosting it and if it can be fixed? I think it may have people turning in the door when the "Randomly select mirror" option doesn't work because of this...

I removed it from the mirror list until resolved.

Still same problem but with Quakephil.com mirror due to an unplugged server, i bugged Phil about it.

The other two works like a charm.

Hey empezar check your qw.nu message inbox! I had to change the location of my nQuake mirror and the IP needs to be changed. We also need more mirrors since there are only two of them currently.

In case it may have been missed out. There is a mirror at http://nquake.quake1.de as well. Not sure though how it can keep up to the nordic locations bandwidth wise though. I think it gets capped after 2 TB each month.

Bandwidth should not be a problem. My mirror has been using 50 - 150 GB of bandwidth monthly and when there are more mirrors there are less load on each of them.

Would it be possible to add /register_qwurl_protocol to somehow run automatically for the Windows version of nQuake so the play/watch links on http://qtv.quakeworld.nu works out of the box for new players?

Yes.

Give me the exact registry values and I can add it to the installer.

Actually according to this post it might work with simply cl_verify_qwprotocol 2 (always register current exe for qw:// links) in the default config. It's a bit funny though as the console help text doesn't list 2 as being a valid value, but it's in the source.

Anyway, here are my regedit entries for qw protocol:
Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qw]
@="URL:QW Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qw\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Games\\Quake\\ezquake.exe\",1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qw\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qw\shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qw\shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Games\\Quake\\ezquake.exe\" +qwurl %1"

I downloaded this package because I heard it was good for newbies, but I found that it kept resetting way too many variables in my config which was really confusing and annoying.

I like the idea behind this project but I feel like it could benefit from removing some stuff from the autoexec, or at least make the autoexec visible in the qw folder so that you don't have to open up the pak file just to be able to edit the file.

I should probably just add a notice about the command "cfg_save" in the startup message. It will save your config. cfg_save blabla will save your config as blabla.cfg an cfg_load blabla will reload it. Just issuing cfg_save will save the config to config.cfg (the default config) which is loaded on startup.

I would also like to add that in ezquake/configs, the "config.cfg" is your autoexec. Many players from other games get confused just because the config itself isn't called "autoexec.cfg", it's actually just called "config.cfg" and is the config that is loaded when you open the game.

LIke Empezar said: if you want to load a different config, use the cmd "cfg_load blabla". If you want to save to your autoexec (config.cfg) just use "cfg_save".

I kind of agree though, it's a little difficult to just copy over a pre-existing cfg and have it load correctly, because of all the stuff that nQuake auto-loads. I mentioned it a few times on irc and in other posts, I ran into headaches when trying to get my QCon config ready to go.

I will try again from a fresh install and maybe add more detail.

Hey a couple of quick questions.

1) Does nQuake incorporate ezQuake 3.0 at this point?

2) So that I don't need to bother folks with questions like that in the future, is there a way for me to see the current nQuake stuff-to-install manifest (without having to go through the process of re-installing nQuake somewhere)?

I don't think so. It might have earlier. Mushi is the one responsible for updating nQuake now.

Got it thanks. The ezQuake binary is from 2013 so that answers that!

Seems I thought of this ages ago. This is all in the readme.txt file that the user is prompted to read.

nQuake rsync server (rsync.nquake.com) has been down for about 10 days now. Will it return or is it gone forever?
