Bleh @ jdra4map1.pk4 Did nobody point the mapper at my rant above? :( Also, wtf are maps doing in the q4max dir, that should only be used for q4max specific files, and there are no q4max specific maps. All maps belong in q4base unless they can only be used with that mod. Maybe the non-q4base dirs ne...

Agreed on convincing everyone to upgrade. I wish server admins werent still running q4max 0.73 + q4 1.1, but they are. Punishing the players for lazy / unobservant admins isnt the solution though. Plenty of admins wont notice you've released a final version, and it'll just mean there are more server...

I see no reason to delete any files, except for those that are corrupt. You cannot be sure that servers have taken the old version down, and if you remove it then you'll stop people being able to connect. If you're planning on releasing an updated version, and thats why you want to replace an existi...

1.3 kinda broke vertex lighting - you'll find that sometimes it turns lights back on again. This is why the menus were updated to set use r_forceAmbient instead of r_vertexlight. If you're using r_forceAmbient 0, you've probably got realtime lighting on, even if you have r_vertexlight 1. (The q4max ...

Gamespys stats page doesnt take account of the 1.3 servers as they need to update it to work with the new protocol - thats why its dropped off the bottom. I noticed the same when 1.2 came out until they updated it. I dunno whether they can perhaps only show one protocol at once - if so, the stats ar...

BTW, I think it's still possible to do quake-3-like transfer by setting set net_serverDownload "1", but I've not tried it. . Nope, 1 is "web page redirect", which closes q4 and opens your web-browser at the URL referenced in si_serverURL, which hopefully you've setup with a page...

You can move the timer around with hud_timerposition.

Better, is to do "callvote mode duel" as duel is far superior to Tourney, which is the one with the banner

I dont think RTCW:ET was supposed to be free, and certainly the q4 1.3 patch wasnt either.... they do however know enough about things to know when they should cut their losses and accept that they arent gunna make money on something, so might as well give it away for free rather than slaving away f...

Clearly someone has learned a new phrase recently... but any chance you can stop posting it in threads I read while at work? Ta...

"Senior Software Engineer" is what my card says, IIRC. Generally I simplify that to "Computer Programmer" for non-techy audiences, or C++ coder for techy ones (I delve into other languages when I need to, but C++ is what I've done pretty much solidly for the last 7 years, so...).

I wonder how someone comes to the point where (s)he's a professional at at modding games, when he or she isn't getting payed to do that. Really, how'd that happen? : \ Ummm... Maybe you should re-read the statement: I can hardly believe it is because they are better coders then professionals...? No...

I can hardly believe it is because they are better coders then professionals...? You're making the assumption we're not professionals too.... coding has been my day job for quite a while now, and arQon even longer. Not sure how long qrealka has been at it, but I'm pretty sure coding is his day job ...

I've certainly seen it reported - whether or not its a placebo is another matter.

Presumably you see a measurable improvement with/without it?

great feature

FWIW, using the mapcycle.scriptcfg functionality from vq4 (and therefore all mods) anyone can change cvars in the map cycle. Doesnt work with voted maps of course tho.

Na, its not us, and I'm pretty sure its not xbm or any other mod team. SyncError said its effectively a missionpack (TA style - or at least the beginnings of one?) but given for free - which means its most likely another commercial games company who were commissioned to create the content. Note that...

si_mapcycle, g_mapcycle, rcon or callvote - all methods work

Na, you're wrong. Theres two fixes you can do. 1. upgrade to 1.2.1 - currently only available for linux, although the fault applies to Windows as well. 2. Remove all trailing slashes from fs_*path cvars. This includes fs_savepath, and fs_basepath. ie: ./q4ded.x86 +set fs_savepath "/some/dir/&qu...

The point releases for Windows and Linux both ship: game000.pk4 <-- windows game100.pk4 <-- linux game200.pk4 <-- mac This implies that you can play against a mac. I believe the Mac now has v1.2, and so almost certainly has the same 3 files as the win+lin builds, so shouldnt have any issues. However...

Play q4max, they're unlocked and work correctly there.

The vars as implemented in vq4 should not be unlocked, they need additional changes to work as you expect.

Re bots, it may be because the map hasnt been clipped in a suitable way for bots. The techniques that applied to Q3 mapping still apply to Q4, even though it doesnt ship with bots.

See this forum post

That is true, but sometimes routers are too clever for their own good, and depending on how the software is written its possible to break NAT. See this (in depth) post about an issue with Q4 + master server comms (server issue, so not the one in this thread) - http://www.forumplanet.com/planetquake/...

Pls post the whole log of the startup, because I bet the bit right at the top where it lists the search path and all pk4's will show the issue.

The error means it cannot find the pak*.pk4 from the cd. You did install them to the same path as fs_basepath, right?

Post the whole log.

SMP for linux.
Some DNS issue (linux only).
and..... (drum roll).... fs_basepath trailing slashes issue \o/

(Note that fs_basepath issue confirmed to affect Windows too)

1.2 may only be a few lines different, but 0.74 is more than a few lines different, and we need to make sure everything that was partially complete at the point that id released 1.2 is actually finished off completely. Having your release schedule dictated by someone elses release schedule isnt good...
