Title: Q2: Lost Marine Extras?
Post by: rekko on July 05, 2016, 01:05:10 PM
Hi.

Anyone knows the password for the Quake 2 Lost Marine locked extra content?

I've always been curious for what's there.

Here's the content in quake2_lostmarine/guis/q2_guis/q2_3b_access_door.gui

Problem is that http://www.planetquake.com/meanarena/quake2_lostmarine/ is long gone. Worse still, it's unarchived by the wayback machine and its alternatives.

Looks like you must resort to brute force password cracking.

I doubt it will be worth it, but please share what you find if you can crack it. Good luck.

Only way to get ahold of the author that I know of is through his Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMeanArena/featured (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMeanArena/featured)

Years ago gamespy changed the url setup from "planetquake.com/hostedsite" to "hostsite.planetquake.com" then "hostedsite.planetquake.gamespy.com".  With the first change it was up to the site authors to reset up the site so it would work, planet admin's had no more access to the hosted sites.  So who knows if he ever changed his over or not.  Either way, no archive exists.  Not on planetquake.gamespy.com or planetquake.com.  :(

Thanks! There is some interesting stuff like renders from unfinished monster models and two alternate music packs for Q2 Lost Marine.
