I'm using Windows7 Home Premium 64 bit I'm compiling with VS 2003. : When I change the output directories to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\quake 3 arena\baseq3", the dlls dont show up there. VS 2003 isn't Vista / Win7 aware, and so if it tries to write files into the &quo...

"Couldn't load default.cfg" means it couldn't find the pak files - which probably means that you didn't set the "working directory" to be the directory where quake3 was. The message about it not having debug symbols for quake3.exe is normal - either click the "don't tell me ...

It's easy enough to debug just the mod side from Visual Studio. Open up the properties of the project you want to debug, and go to the "debugging" section. There you can set the executable to debug (give it the full path to quake3.exe), the commandline (to make it load DLLs, use "+set...

Fire up Visual Studio, build the projects as DLLs, put breakpoints in appropriate functions, and then run Q3 in the debugger. By stepping through the scoreboard related code, inspecting the states of variables as you go, you should be able to figure out what is going wrong.

You get knocked off-line by using MAXBrowse? I guess your network doesn't like lots of connections at once or something? Try going to view -> settings, and slide the "query multiple servers" down from 20 down to a lower number (maybe even as low as 1 for testing), and see if that makes it ...

It's not just language dependent, it is compiler and CPU dependent (and if you're in a language with operator overloading, dependent on whether you or the framework has implemented overriden < and != operators for that type). On an x86 cpu, probably both will probably be translated into a "cmp&...

Well, it looks like a fully working RSH terminal inside the game. I can see the "cool" factor of doing it, but practically, I cannot see why you'd actually want to do that for real. Since you mentioned uplink, I guess you mean this - which seems to be quite different. I assume you didn't c...

Yes, there are quake 3 modders still out there - but there are none sat around without ideas of what they want to do, just waiting for you to tell them what you want. A Q2 style singleplayer game is a lot of work - there have been numerous attempts at it over time, some more successful than others. ...

Besides, the 1.16 master server is still running - it is the same server as for 1.32, just you query it with a different protocol version. More likely is that 1.16 suffers from more bugs in the master server query/heartbeat code, and so it isn't as reliable for old versions. The only fix for that wo...

BTW I don't really understand the restriction. I can think of several good reasons: Many people want to be able to run their own servers so they can use custom maps - which of course wouldn't have any adverts in. Even if id put in protection, I'm sure people would work around it so they could play ...

Sounds like cg_trueLightning to me - 1 makes it look dead straight, while 0 makes it really bendy to try to show where it's really hitting (taking account of lag). When using cg_xerpClients 1 in CPMA you'll probably want 1 as it typically hits what is under the xhair, and if you're using OSP you mig...

No, /kill is disabled in QL.

I really hope that you are trolling, but sadly I think you really are unable to get your head around what Scourge said.

select the right configuration for the project (probably on a toolbar, or change via set active configuration). If you build q3_ui, you do not want a TA config. you need the TA config for building ui (the missionpack, aka TA, version of the ui)

Yea, its probably gone for good. IGN are closing all planet* hosting soon.

This weekend they sent out a mail to hosted sites that said php was being taken offline early because it was being exploited. I guess c3a relied on this.

However you do not have the full game installed at C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX01.937\Quake III Arena 1.32c\

I guess you didn't really mean to install 1.32c into the "temp" folder.

Server protocol errors mean that you're running a different version of Q3 to the server. If you've updated to 1.32, you should probably make sure that your serverbrowser is also only showing you 1.32 servers (sadly there are people playing at least 3 different versions - 1.32, 1.31, and 1.16n, and p...

Judging by the fact that you mention MPlayer, I think your problem is more that you're running an old version of Q3. You probably should download and install the 1.32 point release, and install that. MPlayer closed their service about 8 years ago, and I am pretty sure id removed it from the menus in...

The ql pb folder is in the "all users" appdata folder. Whether a manual update will help I dunno... more likely its a firewall issue. Check the official ql forums for the advice / debugging requests from id.

Add "+set logfile 2" (without quotes) onto the commandline, and then take a look at the qconsole.log file. Q4 is sometimes bad about telling you about errors on startup, although it should appear in the log. My guess is that yes, this is the problem - assuming you are talking about it only...

Do you mean when you try and run both a server and a client on the same PC, you get an error?

If so, you should read this FAQ.

It looks like there are a few servers up in Australia - I've no idea how well populated they are (being on the other side of the world to me), but I guess someone must use them. For example, these 3: server 1 , server 2 and server 3 . You might want to get MAXBrowse or some other serverbrowser to ma...

You've probably set r_mode to the incorrect value, especially if you've copied your config over from Q3. QL supports more resolutions than Q3 did (widescreen etc) so the mode numbers changed.

I see the problem.

Its kinda hard to guess what might be wrong without knowing a lot more about what you've done, and what your experience is. I would suggest the thing to do is use MS SQL Profiler to find out what is going slowly, and why. You seem to suggest that as table sizes increase, you're seeing things slow do...
