Re:

Do you have the latest patch ? you can get it there; http://www.quake3arena.com/ Does IOQ3 use the latest patch? I mean, for example, 1.32c is an exe file, so if I use that, then it won't be the IOQ3 executable... so again, does IOQ3 use the latest patches or is it something different (maybe better...

Re: Maps vanishing off the skirmish menu

Well, I can't get http://www.quakeunity.com to load at all. I Yahoo'd quake 3 UI Enhanced and got q3arena.com, but the file was uploaded back in 2001 and I thought there might be something newer.

And your UI Enhanced link does not work. I'll try to find it.

Not at all what I meant. Defrag has three menus: VQ3, CPM and tricks. Every single map shows up in the tricks menu but none show up in VQ3 or CPM menus.

Re: Maps vanishing off the skirmish menu

DeFrag's tricks menu shows ALL maps, but they don't come up in the VQ3 or CPM menus... none at all. What is the error?

Maps vanishing off the skirmish menu

Apparently Q3 has a limit to the maps it can display. Unacceptable. I need a fix. I play Elite Force and it doesn't do this. I don't need or want more Q3 installs to take up harddrive space, let alone that I couldn't remember which install had which maps. I hate the naming (somethingdm#) because you...

Re: GTKRadiant has failed me

I got it working. For openers, I got version 1.5 and trashed 1.4. Secondly, I redirected it to save maps elsewhere, because ioquake3/baseq3 has locks that prevent programs from saving files there. I successfully compiled, erm, "something" and ran it. It was a tiny room with two texes missi...

GTKRadiant has failed me

Well I tried to compile the test map in the GTK docs, I even figured out how to select a "wall" and apply the texture. For openers, that which he said to select as the compile option is not even there, but that's okay because I found the equivalent one with -vis and -fast like he said (I g...

Re: Q3 Game Lock-ups

It's official: IOQ3 fixes it. I just played CPMA with internet ON, and it didn't freeze once. Hooraaayy!

Re: Q3 freezes up

I put the maps back an switched over to IOQ3. I think it's fixed now. Check the other, similar thread in the main Quake III forum to see my full details. :)

Re: Q3 Game Lock-ups

Glory be, I found the answer! IOQ3! As soon as you activate it, you'll see how everything's better. I loaded CPMA and played quite a while with no hang ups (internet was off). WORD OF WARNING: DON'T delete the CPM stock maps. There is important data in them, apparently, without which CPMA cannot fun...

Re: Quake III Mods, Point Releases, Custom Maps & Utilities

I know it, and I have it, but I have no real manual for it. In any case, CPMA apparantly lost its ability to load maps. It just skips back to the menu at "Connecting to Locahost." I erased all the maps that shipped with it.

Re: Q3 freezes up

I deleted all the stock CPM maps out of BaseQ3 and now CPMA can't load any maps at all. >_<

Would IOQuake help with the lots of maps problem? And how can I fix CPMA?

Re: Q3 Game Lock-ups

Okay, I just tested it. I shut down the dialup and loaded up the CPMA for a few rounds of glorious, senseless killing, when to my great surprise, I discovered that CPMA had apparently lost its ability to load maps (reverted to menu at connecting to localhost)! So, I shut that down, and kick-started ...

I have precisely the same problem. I haven't tried it yet without the internet on, that may be it (0_0), so I will and I'll report back to you here. I have a thread for the same blasted problem going over in Q3 tech support. We should merge them. EDIT: I just read this last post. My problems all sta...

Re: Quake III Mods, Point Releases, Custom Maps & Utilities

http://www.promode.org = fail site. They don't tell you what's the latest version of the mod, and when you DO figure it out (roughly) and download it there's no bloody documentation on how to play it, just a bunch of crap about server setup, which is fine for admins, but we players would like to kno...

Re: Q3 freezes up

Uh, it's a Gateway DX4200-09, AMD Phenom Quad-core processor, and according to the tag on the side (which may be wrong because we ended up with a better processor in it than it was supposed to have), an ATI Raden HD 3200 integrated graphics card.

Q3 freezes up

Hi. When I play Q3 lately, it freezes up on me at random. I will be playing, and it will freeze, and I'll have to restart my computer to fix it. I have the latest point releases, and the CPMA mod. Q3 freezes in both the CPMA mod and vanilla Q3, however there is another oddity in that some maps have ...
