Woohoo!

Ah yes, we are back!
After emailing QuakeGod (thanks God!), one of the Telefragged guys,
he told me that
a) He fixed the fileID bug, so now all downloads will work
b) Gave me the address to the new server for uploading maps, so all mirrors will work again.
So, now you can go and download all those wonderful maps,
and prepare to frag-a-lot! 
That's it, for now at least!
Ruh roh ...

Yes! 3D Downloads has done it again!
Now you can't download any maps (you'll get some funny errors),
and if you try to download them from the directory I mentioned in previous news post, the URLs are incomplete (fileid=).
Let's just pray to God that everything will be fine tomorrow.
Maps, yes?

Hey kids!
The maps have been released:
Aro, Chavo8, Jopo, Juice2 and Siege2.
I'm not sure what's going on with Telelagged,
but if you have problems downloading maps,
try all the mirrors, or in the worst case:
Surf to our maps directory at 3D Downloads, located
here.
Those maps are very fun to play with loads of people,
so go get them while the supplies last in case some server admin decides to add some life to his/her server!
Take it easy and don't do anything I wouldn't do!
Telefragged, where art thou?

I'm starting to doubt there's any life beyond Telefragged. 
Still can't login to their primary FTP where all the maps are stored,
and we've got couple of maps to release.
Yap, that's right!
- The Aro - by InFinity. (aro.bsp)
- La Vecindad - by Debryn (Rodrigo Labra). (chavo8.bsp)
- Juice & Blood 2 - by Arthur "Suco" de P�dua. (juice2.bsp)
- Siege - Have fun stormin' the castle! - by Bob Szymanski (Bobert). (siege2.bsp)
- Jopo City - by InFinity. (jopo.bsp)
Those passed our death testings (except zip structure wasn't 100% in all of them, get to that later), and this time we got some people to play those maps to see how it'd be on crowded servers.
It turned out to be great fun, and everyone agreed on the maps.
Thanks to all the mappers out there that have submitted their work to the AQMD, without you there would be no AQMD! 
As for the ZIP structure, I mentioned it before in some news post,
but it seems like no one noticed it at all.
files should be in their own directory called "mapdocs",
and should be placed in the /action directory.
So the structure may look something like this:
\maps\*.bsp
\mapdocs\*.txt
\textures\mymap\*.wal
\env\*.tga
\sound\mymap\*.wav
etc.
That's all for now, I suppose.
Just one more thing!
Because Telefragged is so lagged now, you may not be able to download maps from here at times ...
Soooo ... if you're missing some maps, check out the MapZone and here you can get the Uberpack.
Problems with Telefragged

Howdy guys 'n gals!
Today we were going to release several spankin' new maps (I'm not going to tell you anything ... yet!),
but I found myself to much annoyance, that the Telefragged FTP is still having problems so I can't connect to it and upload those new maps. =(
I'm hoping it'll be working later tonight or tomorrow,
but can't do much more .. than hope.
I also set up news posting system to ease the news submission,
it was kinda pain in the backside to download/edit/upload files,
but now it's just click one or two buttons. =D
Soooo ... in other news:
Black Monk, the AQDT's numero uno agent, is working on getting us a mirror for all the maps.
Hurray for Black Monk!
I guess that's all for now.
Remember to check out the AQMD every once in a while for news and new maps!
