This IS History

Here's something that will maybe breathe some life back into this section.

http://gallery.xboltz.net/

After a long time searching, I've recovered seven WADs from Olden Times, predating even me. Most of you here today will not recognize them, but these paved the way for Newmaps and others in the mod scene. (Well, there's one in there that at least someone will recognize.) They all require Legacy.

Hey, Skulltag guys. You should port those DM levels over.

Hey! Since 5's maps! I gotta try those later on. BTW, I'm pretty sure Atarian's wad didn't predate you, in fact I think they required you mod to run?

Yeah, I know. That's why I said there was one that some people might recognize.

Wow, these are ancient! There was literally a different CQFF at this time! Where did you find them?

I had them all along, sitting on my hard drive, in a folder that has been through three different computers. Being a digital packrat has its uses.

This is history? I found chexmaps2.wad, chexmaps3.wad, chexzm.wad, CQuestSE.wad, and oneyear.wad through the CQ Wiki months ago.

Is that a 'You've got to be kidding' or a "Yeah, I know" face?

xbolt · March 16, 2011, 02:50:04 AM

The former.

Ditto to what LAZ said. I've had those since I joined the forum.

Are Since5's maps supposed to have doom textures in them?

There's some nice music tracks in here, can anyone confirm he didn't rip them? One of them sounds like a sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone remix, but that's not the one I mean, some of these I've never heard before.

Ooh, these look really neat.

I'll have to play them once I have time later today.

No, they're not supposed to have Doom textures. Use chex.wad renamed to doomu.wad. And regarding the tracks in oneyear.wad:

PSH! I wish....nah, that music is up for grab specificly for wads at http://www.doomworld.com/kniggit/public_domain.shtml

@y'all: If you've played them before, sorry for making a big deal about it. But if at least someone is playing these for the first time because of it, then I consider this a success.

(And chexmiss.rar is not on the wiki. So chances are, you haven't played that one. This was actually supposed to be the main attraction here, but I found since5's maps shortly after I found that, so I uploaded them at the same time.)

I still miss wow.gif...

Hmm.... I must have been using the actual doomu.wad :facepalm

EDIT - yup

EDIT2

chexzm.wad Extendedstoragefacility 1 and 2.wad don't launch.

TUCQPhaseIIBeta2DM(ZM).wad seems to be exactly the same as the original

Dang, I'd nearly forgotten about Since5. Epic find!
