Finally, after a few months of hard and steady work, the maps crew have added over 400 assorted (mainly deathmatch) maps to the Maps archive. This is the first batch of many batches to come.
The Map Screenshots project was started several months back with the aim of trawling through 5887 quakeworld maps and taking screen shots of each and every map. The screenshots project has been generously supported by the following people:
http://maps.quakeworld.nu/workload/statistics.php
This arduous task has now been completed and the next difficult stage of the project is to now to categorise the maps, import them to the database, rate them, add descriptions and group them.
We are currently in the process of adding a ranking system to the maps archive so that users can rate maps they like and dislike. This ranking mechanism will help make the better maps more visible in what will be a sizeable archive when complete. We will announce via news post when this feature has been completed and fully functional.
When the current phase of the project has been completed we hope to account for almost every map that was created over the past 15 years since quakeworld first came out. This will cover all singleplayer, deathmatch, team fortress, CTF and Trick/Aim maps.
As always we need help from the community so if you'd like to help out and spare a couple of hours here and there then please let myself and ParadokS know.

Site Relaunched |

After 4 years in development hell, the QuakeWorld.nu Map Archive is finally back online.
However it's current state is very limited, as only a small amount of content is made available.
If you would like to help change that, and start adding content to the site, or if you just have a lot of map content laying around (texture, readme, bsp, info), please don't hesitate to contact me (Zalon), on IRC or via email.
I have roughly 90 texture packs for popular maps, that needs to be added, I've already added all the packs I had for aerowalk, but I need help with adding the rest to the site.
The original site was lost in the 2005 hack of the QuakeWorld.nu server. The sites database and third party applications had to be rebuild for the site to function again. |
