Need help about mutators.

Hi all

I know about the post concerning mods, but still i didnt find what i needed. Here are the questions :
1) I started to play Q3A online this week & I discovered the gametype called "Railfreeze" : How can i have this when i host a LAN game?
2) How can i get a mutator giving all weapons (or @ least only the Rail...) to everybody @ each respawn like i saw on CTF servers with everybody playing rail?
3) I also have a problem : I D/Led new maps for Q3A. I opened the zip files, unzipped the maps (.pk3) in the baseq3 folder, but still I cant see them if i wanna play "skirmish"... How come?

Thx in advance & happy fraggin'!

Download Ultra Freeze Tag (http://www.ufreeze.com/) and read the (rather excellent) documentation.

Same.

The map probably doesn't have an arena.txt file. No biggy, just pull down the console (the tilde) and type: /map mapname

ouch !
A nice site, but kinda tough! (*remembers of the easy-to-intall UT features*).
the utfreeze site only indicates how to run utfreeze on a dedicated server... Not wot i wanna do : i wanna play & host! what should i do?
Also another question : when they say "set wpflags to 1", what exact command line do i have to type in the console?

Sorry to be so noobish, but the way Q3 is working is really strange to me!

Load the mod from the "Mods" menu, then go on to "Multiplayer" and create a server. However, dedicated server > listen server so you might want to create a server.cfg (put it in your ufreeze folder), then run Q3A from the shell (or Start

Run if you're on Windows) with quake3 +set fs_game ufreeze +set dedicated 1 +set com_hunkmegs 32 +exec server.cfg. Put the "set wpflags 1" in your server config file or add it to the command line (+set wpflags 1).

ouch again!
Where is the "mods" menu u're talking about? I dont have it with "single player", "multiplayer", "setup", "demos" etc...???
How to create a .cfg? When i choose to start a dedicated server, i only have a console staying on my screen. I can join my server, but i dont know how to create ur .cfg thingie?
Thx again

It's not the demo you're playing, is it?

Post by **Dr_JeKyLL** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 5:19 pm

no no of course not!
Well now that i have the patch i can load the mod as u told me...
However, how can I create your .cfg file & how can I change the wpflags value? I mean when i join my dedicated server, i'm not admin, so will it work?

* The config file can be created with any text editor (e.g. Notepad or vi).
* Add +set rconpassword your_password_here and in-game, pull down the console and type: /rcon your_password_here wpflags 1 -- disclaimer: this is but one way to do it.

If i understand right, I must start a dedicated server with ufreeze, & then i have the Q3 console. In this console, i have to put +set rconpassword whatever_my_pass_is & then the server should have this for admin pass...
However, when i enter this, the console only tells me :
broadcast: print "server: +set rconpassword whatever_my_pass_is"
& in the game when i try to use the pass, it tells me that no rcon pass is on?!?!

Close, but not quite. The +set rconpassword yadda is what you add to the command line. In the server console itself, you just type: rconpassword yadda
