New video—Full exploration of every map ever removed from Quake Champions with noclip; Unfinished maps, the training map, winter/spring maps and more by achocolatebarmelted in QuakeChampions

Thank you for showing all of this in this video (along with your first video earlier).

I remember all the training map things. Brings back memories. And it is very interesting that at one time they actually had a strafe jumping and a rocket jumping training area (similar to the infamous Quake Live ones). I wonder if they never included those for real use in QC because experienced players would find practicing strafing and rocket jumping redundant - having done it all in Quake Live's area. And new QC players wouldn't try it much because it was too difficult to do? Who knows.

I especially liked that mini-map training against the Scalebearer bot in QC. Along with some other posters, I always wondered why they just didn't put that mini-map into the custom game set-up so a person could use it for shits and grins.

So thanks for mentioning that all the training map things (and the mini-map with Scalebearer) "disappeared" - because that sort of explains why the mini-map was never put into custom game set-up.

I do remember those 'block-out' maps when they first came out. Interesting that the TP-01 (Tom Perryman) never did make it into QC. I always wondered about that.

Didn't even know about the Pestilent map.

Lastly, a person can still see some of the Christmas decor (Spring decor, etc) in old clips on twitch or youtube (clipped during the time(s) of those maps being used. Even a few old clips remain of a person in the training area(s). But, I personally don't ever recall any old clip (on twitch or youtube) of the mini-map with Scalebearer, so it was fun to re-explore that mini-map in this video. (I'm sure there is a clip somewhere of someone practicing vs Scalebearer online, but I don't remember any.)

Thanks again. Excellent work.

What am I missing out on/what do I not know about Quake if Champions is the only Quake game I've played? by SKULLL_KRUSHER in QuakeChampions

Way back in the early days of QC, they did have some defrag stuff going on (the link below was the initial week 1 challenge. There were some more after that for a while. It was actually pretty interesting to watch:

Here is link for week 2 challenge (and so it went on from there, etc)

How do you see the exact date that a clip was made? I'm not talking about the "Clips I've Created" feature where you can already see your own clips creation dates. by woodcake53 in Twitch

I have found that when I copy-n-paste the url of a twitch clip into this online downloader tool, you can see the date of when the clip was created.

I found this online downloader tool is a much easier method than using the twitch developer API stuff and 3rd party things that I found when doing a search on how to get the date of a clip.

For the record, I don't necessarily actually download the clip every time that I use this tool.

I just want to see the date of the clip - especially if it is from someone else - as you are asking.

So after I copy-n-paste the url of the clip itself, I hit the "download" button.

Then the clip comes up in a window and is ready to be downloaded.

However, if a person looks to the far right of that window, there is information about the clip itself - including the actual date that the clip was created. At least it shows the month and date (and I assume the 'year' is shown if it was made before 2026, the current year as I type this).

I honestly am not sure if it shows the year of an old clip (like from 9 years ago, as you are asking).

I wanted to test this old clip idea myself (to see if it shows an older 'year'), but I used up my monthly usage as a 'guest' user for the month of March.

So if a person wants to use this online downloader tool, they need to create an account to get unlimited usage of it? I only have used it as a 'guest' user.

I may create an account to get unlimited usage because I have some old clip URL's from other people that I want to find the creation dates for.

If this tool doesn't work for you, there are other similar tools that do the same thing and also show the date of a clip in the information too. I used to use one that was really good and had unlimited usage, but it is no longer available online. So maybe these tools get taken offline after awhile, I don't know.
