Hey, thanks again for the info. I got this working! I found script menus for the browser in pak3.pk3 in ioquake3 and a very similar menu in Tremulous. I combined the two, put in a Bitstream Vera-based font and made it work...ugly but working. I zipped it up, and it goes under its own folder "in...

An update, if anyone cares: I found some good tutorials including menu modding examples, and I got the compiler set up and successfully made a trivial menu modification, compiled ui.qvm and ran it to prove to myself that I can. I won't be able to copy the Team Arena browser into a Q3A mod because TA...

Yes, well unfortunately my server is baseq3 and almost everyone that connects uses the in-game browser. Actually it doesn't matter what browser you use; it will change to the correct game type when connecting. Still, I agree most don't have TA, and based on the next comment I'm not sure I'm talking...

Crud. I had a long reply typed then accidentally closed the browser. In short, your complaint seems to be that your server takes a few more seconds to show up presumably because the browser is parsing serverinfo in the order in which it receives the list from the master browser. My reply is that I d...

The file becomes part of the QVM, bytecode for the Q3A virtual machine (think Java). And to answer the other question: no. Fantastic! That points me in the right direction. I can find QVM-modifying instructions on the web and get started from there. My thoughts on how to do this have changed severa...

It's mostly a matter of reading through q3_ui/ui_servers2.c and understanding what it does and how it does it. Thanks. I see that file in a few SVN repositories. Silly noob modder question: Does that file become part of the .exe, or is it in a pak file somewhere? Legal question: Is there a problem ...

Q3A Server Browser Modding Info?

:q3: I'm toying with the idea of modding the Q3A server browser to make it more like the Team Arena browser or ASE, or at least make it so it doesn't suck quite so badly. If it ever gets off the ground I want to release it as a mod (as opposed to changing code in the opensourced' version). I'm guess...
