WARNING: Please read below before you download and start screwing
around with your files. I am NOT an expert in paks and stuff, and am not
responsible for your crashes or otherwise messed up painkeep directory.
Although there are only 20 maps in the HUB, there are over 40 maps in
the downloads below, which may be played in the servers too. I just linked
the best 20 to the HUB.
PLEASE READ: Updated 9/24/99- I have finished
12 more maps and "fixed" the HUB to play these maps. I will NOT painkeep
any more maps as I truly believe that the maps currently in the HUB are
so great, that there is no need to improve. Not even one of them suck.
I must give full credit to these great map
makers that have allowed to convert these maps, and I did so with their
permission and in the case of Mr.Fribbles under close supervision by him.
Any modifications to those maps must be authorized by them and just because
I was able to modify them, does not mean anybody else can, so please ASK
before touching any maps, I'm sure they would agree, but it's courteous
to ask. I have also included the original txt files when I had them, in
case you don't see your name here (authors), it will be in the txt files,
and please e-mail me if you see your map in the bunch so I can give proper
credit.
Mr Fribbles maps: From his electronic fish
series: efdm9pk, efdm10pk, efdm11pk, and another of his maps frbwb1pk.
Downloadhere.
Truly remarkable maps.
Other maps:With
Authorization from "Rocketman" : Borg02pk (Im a trekkie, beam me
up to this borg ship Scotty), tree.bsp, and one that I had released previously,
but had no knowledge it was his, unrealpk.bsp. With authorization from
Rudolf Kremers (Borsatto), I painkeeped Summerpk.bsp.
Unauthorized maps: Although I have unsuccesfully
attempted to contact other authors, I have gotten invalid e-mails or don't
even know who authors are, but I tried to convert these maps in good taste.
If anybody know where to contact them, or if any of these maps was made
by YOU, please contact me to give proper credit or remove.
Messypk.bsp- Painkeeped version of A. Lorenzini's
"The messy base"- I tried two e-mail adresses unsuccesfully.
Doom levels by "Hawkmoon" and "Borys98"- Attempted
to contact them unsuccesfully.
Forgepk.bsp Painkeeped version of "Forge
of Repent" map- Contacted several web pages, no one knew who author
was :(.
Dimepk.bsp- As above, could not find out who
author of Dime.bsp was. I just painkeeped it.
Well, project is over, I have finished the HUB
to play our maps. There are a couple of things you NEED to know in order
to play these on a server. IT's EASY, just relax and understand the following
concepts: HUB is start.bsp, unfortunately the regular
painkeep HUB and Quo's HUB are also named start.bsp because it's the one
painkeep recognizes as HUB. Therefore in order to play these maps on a
server you must do the following.
Back up pak0.pak from quake\painkeep in case you
screw up. (IMPORTANT)
Open up pak0.pak (from quake\painkeep dir.) in
pakexplorer, click on the maps folder.
Find start.bsp on the maps folder and right click
on it, choose rename- rename it start.old
close the explorer (now you're half way done)
If you play Quo's rune, you should have pak1.pak,
rename that to pak1.quo
Copy THIS new HUB (8/12/99)
to your painkeep\maps directory (READ BELOW!! before you do).
YOU'RE DONE!!!!!!!
Now the problem is if you wanna play the
old painkeep or Quo's runes again. You can play the maps just fine, but
when it goes to HUB you would crash out of the game, so here's my suggestion: To play regular Painkeep-
I rename pak0.pak (the one where you changed start.bsp to start.old) to
pak0.hif (hifever:), then copy the backed up pak0.pak (remember I told
ya to back it up) to the painkeep directory, and that should do it. To play Quo's pk runes:
Just rename pak1.quo to pak1.pak, and you should be fragging in the
runes world.
Where to play these here maps??- Well I have a
crappy cable modem server going sometimes for testing, called hifever.
Find it with gamespy or kali under painkeep tabs. If you wanna setup a
server with them, please do, we need a REAL server, mine sux.
UPDATE 7/16/99- CerBerus.UNO has been awsome
enuff' to get a server going for us, the name of the server is Da Dawg
House New Pk and you can find it with Kali or Quakespy. The IP adress is
208.135.166.200:27500. Everybody please give a round of applause to the
one and only CERBERUS!!!! and to Sinbad.UNO who hooked me up with him to
make it happen.
What you need to download:
pakexplorer: If you
didn't do it already from link above.
The new HUB- If you didn't
download already above.- DO NOT unzip in your painkeep\maps directory if
you have another start.bsp until you rename your existing start.bsp to
start.old or something, or my start.bsp will write over it.
NEW 7/16/99: Newest maps that truly rock, Quadcity
(E4m3pk), dm4pk and dm6pk (newpk.zip). Wanna see
some screenshots of'em newer maps?, cool, follow me
please.
The newesr (8/12/99) maps if you didn't already
do it from above in Mr.Fribbles maps or other
pkmaps.
Download pkmaps.zip
and pkmaps2.zip-
(dammit, couldn't put all in one file cause it wouldn't upload) For
those of you technically challenged people, if you don't know how to get
these maps to play in quake- YOU SUCK. Unzipp'em in the quake\painkeep\maps
directory, then if ya wanna play single player, say for example doompark,
and you have glquake, then just type:
glquake -game painkeep +map doompark
If you just wanted to browse in deathmatch mode with no monsters, then
just type:
glquake -game painkeep +map doompark
-listen 8
UPDATED
8/12/99: Please take note of the following (or print) so that you don't
get lost in the hub, and also note that I removed the airfist from next
to the gravity in the hub so that it's more difficult to get it, hehhh.
The airfist now resides on the bottom floor. How to read the following??
simple: painkeep -- dimepk means dimepk is in the location where
you would normally choose the map "painkeep" on regular pk. painkeep--
redlitpk- Small and fun remake of Duke3D redlight district map

pk1---------
punishpk- None stop fun.
