Need some help.

Hi, I'm new to this whole Quake 3 scene.

I recently downloaded the Quake 3 demo and have been playing with some friends over Hamachi.

In my ingame settings, I have turned my brightness up full yet the game is still extremly dark. Is there anything else I have to change or is it just the demo? (Oh, my monitor brightness is on FULL and its fine for any other game.)

I'm also wondering how I can bind mwheeldown to jump. I'm sure its simple, I just don't know exactly how to do it. In the options it doesn't seem to detect it when I scroll so I'm sure I can just bind it thought console or put something in my config.

One more thing, it may be because I don't have the full version of the game, but MOUSE3 zooms in for me. I have changed it to MOUSE2 in options, but when I press MOUSE3, it still zoomes in. Is there anyway to fix this without purchasing the full version of the game?

Any help is appretiated.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Might be a mouse driver issue but as I recall, older versions of Q3 (the demo is PR 1.11 which equals ancient) indeed have trouble with the mouse wheel. Is there by any chance a joystick hooked up to your rig?

Nope, No joystick hooked up.

I have a Logitech G5 Mouse if that helps.

the mouse may be too new and flashy for the old school demo youre playing. Get the full version of Quake 3 and then try.
