Two Osp questions..

Post by **v1l3** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 12:48 am

I've had a couple questions that I've wondered about asking over the years about osp and some bugs, but I've never bothered to ask. So maybe someone will know the answers for some reason....

1) Why does the grapplerope lose it's texture on certain q3 maps, osp mappack maps and custom maps. (ex. ospdm10, ospdm11, q3dm11)

2) Why do the bots only have white railtrail color, rather than their color.

I know that back in my 1.16n days there were certain mods that would lose the grapplerope(lightning) texture if there wasn't a lightninggun in the map. Is it something in relation to that sort of thing?

-thx

Did you ever play Dreamcast quake 3?

& I'd say the reason it looses it texture is that it doesn't load it, like you said.

Yes.. I started this game on my Dreamcast....which I never touch much these days. Gave that up once I got the hawked version of the DC-Mappack called the xdc_ss mappack which has every map on the dc version like dc_ss401-409. I can't remember whether they were re-made or illegally taken out.. =/
...but yeah that's a perfect example of the Osp dealy. I don't see how the maps could be missing something to effect it to be missing it's texture. It's not like the texture is a lightning trail. Somebody knows!

play more Promode. With CPMA, you can use vq3 physics with all of the features of OSP

hehe...apparently you don't know me very well....don't mind me saying, but that's somewhat of a noob comment. Perhaps you should study the Cpma Custom Maps Section over at ..::LvL. I have been running my Osp mode for certain maps, because I have 170 in the cpma folder in my q3 folder, and 170 maps in my cpma set-up in my icculus folder. I'm pushing the max on my cpma set-ups, so I use my osp for other(vq3) maps. I have 1100 total maps...and it gets somewhat tiresome moving this map to that folder and back and forth and so on....so where there are is where they sit pretty much.
I've been hangin in the Cpma society since v0.99t, which I can't remember what year that was..

uh... Thanks for the heads up...?

and dude, 1100 maps? Do you keep track of them all or just download new releases, etc? I have just over 180 and i couldnt name half of them...

I've been downloading them over the last 5 and a half years, so I've gotten to know them each at a somewhat 1 at a time basis. I'd say there are at least a hundred or so that I don't know that well though. I know them by name for the most part though. I have a huge ass picture folder that I can look through at moments to decide what maps I feel like playing..that I don't know that well.
