You should uninstall your quake 3 install and reinstall again. Apply update 1.32

Then use dr. watsons point release switcher, run the bat file it will ask you what version you want to switch to. Switch back and forth at will.

"bat file"??? what do you mean??

a "bat file" is just a batch file with the extension .bat

just double click. 35mb for a pr switcher? ouch.

Where did you install your q3 too? The DRWPR folder should go into your Quake III Arena folder.

That's because it requires you to already have the 1.32 installed. The other one has the all the files needed.

P.R. 1.16n will only run if you have pak0, pak1, and pak2 in the baseq3 folder. Take pak3, pak4, pak5, and pak6 out. Since your on 1.30 now I'm taking it. If you set 1.32 up, take out pak7&8 along with those.

Or just use one of the pr switchers that do that for you.

I'm too used to doing everything myself =o I used to have that thing...ended up just deleting it. I have 1.16 & 1.32 Installed to two different directory's so it doesn't really matter that much I guess =/

The only reason I keep 1.16n set up is for Zappy's Insta-Rox, R-n-R, and Deathgun 3.0. That...and I have my 1.32 set up and don't want it mixed up with my 1.16 shit so... =)

Have you ever asked any of those 1.16 people why they prefer to be stuck in the past so much? =) I haven't bothered connecting to those places in ages so I don't know. Are there any noobs that just don't know there are bigger and better things like 1.32 cpma or are those people from a community website that just continues to play what they like for years and years?

No joke man. I haven't played 1.16n online since back in the Sega Dreamcast Servers days. I just play those mods against bots. I think alot of them dudes have either old computers that can't run the mods of these days, or their still stuck in some old clan that they've been in since God knows when.
If I wanna have that lightninggun trail I just use cg_altlightning "1" in Cpma. Q3 has improved so much over the years, that there really isn't much point in playing it for the most part...plus you can't run half of the good custom maps that have been made over the last couple of years....but hey, it's up to them really. heh
