running map frpm console

Post by **dilithium** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 9:01 pm

Hi people,

Sorry for the lame question but, I can't seem to run a CTF map from the console (tilde key).

Typing: -

map mapname

does, indeed, start my map but, in FFA mode.

I can start the map from the normal way of picking

Single/Multiplayer

CTF

mapname etc.

Incidentally, is there a limit that Quake 3 can display in the map selection-screen and what is it?

Thank you kindly,

Neil

64.

Excellent. That worked a treat.

As for the map limit. That would be why my map doesn't appear unless I remove most of the maps.

Thank you very much, misantropia

Thanks +Juggernaut+,

I had a quick scan of the page. I shall download it and have a look at that.

Regards,

A better in-game map browser: UI Enhanced

Is the limit still 64 in the Enhanced GUI, too?

Yes. If you want, I could compile a custom version with support for up to x maps (fill in a value for x).

Isn't it possible to code a menu that doesn't have a limit? I realise the problem is probably keeping all the lvlshots etc in memory but isn't it possible to scan for the maps then just hold the names/pk3 locations in an array, then call up the lvlshots etc when the player moves between screens?

oh. then by default it's NOT better.

Don't change anything on my behalf. The server runs a map list anyway. I'll just add my map to the list.

Thanks for all the advice, though. Most appreciated.

Regards,

Neil
