Re: Missing Skins

The frikbot pack looks sweet. Is there a great way to browse and launch DM maps in Quake these days? Something like http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-injector/ for DM maps would be the bestest, but I doubt that exists... I'd hope though that there's something to let you browse/launch maps that you ha...

Re: Missing Skins

Quake3 has so many limits, it's criminal. Yeah..fixing half of the problems over and over will cause you to learn a shitload of things in this game. I probably spend more time editing things than playing the game..it's ridiculous. :olo: I go to play online and I never win like I have in the past. I...

Hah, I guess it does!

Thanks for the link! You are the master Q3 collector. :D

Re: Missing Skins

Actually, I already did it! It has working shaders, bot files, and all. :D

The question is, can I legally upload it, or will it violate ID terms of Quake Live?

Re: Why does Q3 always drop an arena?

The only thing I noticed was that the author had put two maps in one .arena file. Don't know if this matters. I just did some testing, and it really doesn't matter if the arena is dropped or not. Basically, I usually play Quake3 with my brother online (after giving him an exact copy of my own modifi...

Why does Q3 always drop an arena?

Why is it that no matter how many maps I have installed for Quake3, one arena is always dropped? The console states that it is to make the count divisible by 4, but that really doesn't seem to be the case. It doesn't matter if I install the right amount of maps or not, it always drops an arena (and ...

Re: Missing Skins

Hey v1l3, thank you for taking the time to post your tips, but it still really doesn't help me narrow down the shader issues I'm experiencing. I've already used your method of dragging out half the skins at a time, but it rarely works. The problem is that sometimes there appear to be multiple shader...

Re: Missing Skins

The screwed Shaders are definitely not missing textures. If I remove all shaders in the pack minus the one skin that is screwed, the shader starts working fine again, so it's definitely a conflict. Here is what I don't get... I've found shaders that conflict whenever the paths aren't even remotely t...

Re: Missing Skins

Ok, I just realized something very annoying with combining skins. It seems that this results in a crapload of shader conflicts. What causes shader conflicts exactly? I've tried looking through the shader files, but I can't find any conflicting names! Why does a shader stop working in one skin when i...

Re: Missing Skins

That sounds similar to my setup, minus the config files. I also combine all my skins/maps into packs, and swap them in and out using Batch files. I have 2 skin packs, 2 model packs, and about 9 .pk3 files of maps. I keep about half of this installed at a time. I use IOQuake, as well as the UI Enhanc...

Re: Missing Skins

How strange, I can download stuff from the ftp now too! Just the other day, I tried a million times with different browsers, methods (save as), etc. and nothing works. Now, they download just fine. :o Anyway, there are a lot of good finds in this archive! Check out the peachv2 file for a few new Mir...

Re: Missing Skins

That's the one, thanks! I could be wrong, but I was thinking that saphiria was also a Crash skin. I'm not sure about Outrage, but it looked interesting so I added it to the list. I'm curious what they are too! I've been creating a bunch of bot files using Bot Studio, so maybe I'll create a harder on...

Re: Missing Skins

Thanks!

You are right, that is the wrong Mirage file. Is the Team Mirage pack the one that contains all the Crash skins? That's the one I'm looking for. Would you happen to have that one?

Missing Skins

It seems that these days, there are very few skin archives for Quake3 out there. There are a number of skins I can't find that I used to have. Heck, I even have conversions of some of these skins for UT99, but can't find them anywhere for Q3. I browsed through the Fileplanet, Filefront, QuakeUnity, ...

Re: Quake III Limitations

If I were still in my high school/college days with hours of spare time on my hands, I most certainly would (and did such things back then). But now, I just leave that up to the people who have the time I used to have. Apparently, those people aren't around for Quake3.

Re: Quake III Limitations

UI Enhanced increases the limites, but does not get rid of them. Besides, I've been using UI Enhanced for years. It was last updated in 2002. You mean to tell me this is still the best way to play Quake3? There must not be many fans of Quake3 anymore if nobody has even started a decent source port o...

Re: Quake III Limitations

Neither one of those get rid of the small limitations of the amount of maps you can have installed at once. I can't believe the Quake3 source code has been out for so long, and nothing interesting to speak of has come out. As far as I can tell, IoQuake adds nothing that the average user cares about,...

Quake III Limitations

I haven't been active in the Quake 3 community since the Source code was released. Now that it has been out for a while, my question is: has anyone removed any limitations that Quake 3 has? One reason I stopped playing Quake3 back in the day was all the limits it had on how many maps, models, etc. y...
