Maps maps maps

[Killinator]

So i constantly see maps in multiplayer that i don't have
it has the quake symbol and when i join it goes to title screen
i tried looking for places to download these maps but no luck
are they customized maps?
what are they?
are they even maps?
:icon33:

[dzjepp]

type /cl_allowdownload 1 in the console, then type /reconnect on a server that has custom maps and it will download the map (usually) but with slow speeds

or you can check the screen and see what the map name is (eg., pro-q3dm6.pk3) and google the entire map name, you will usually find a lot of places to download it with good speed.

then you need to put the map .pk3 file into baseq3, and you can play it.

thx

that second tip is the best and fastest option in my experience.

[Killinator]

ok so i tried the first tip but it says it is an unknown command

[+JuggerNaut+]

must not have typed it correctly.

[JB]

it also under your Game Options tab in the escape menu, click it!

[Killinator]

I really don't want to sound like an annoying n00b but i don't see that button in the options menu
but i am writing that command correctly. maybe im not typing it in the right spot? i type it in console

[dubz]

remember the maps name and go to http://www.lvlworld.com

It's in Setup/Game Options at the bottom of the list.

The humorous part would be if he finally types the cvar the right way, and the server ends up having sv_allowDownload set to "0". I'd do what dubz said...since it's much quicker anyway...or google it.

it says draw team overlay at the bottom of my setup/game options
...i dont think thats it

*hmmmm.*

Quake3WorldForumMisc ----It's a link. You click it.
Then you open the game options screenshot.
That's what it should look like. You should
have that last line with Automatic Downloading [on]

What version does it show in your console, lower right?

[Killinator]

whoa whoa whoa whoa
i dont have the last one
something is wrong
well it says it was made in...1999

lol bet it was the Y2K!!!!

[Scourge]

What version are you running?

edit: Heh, I'm thinking the same as Piece. You might want to update it to 1.32c.

start the game up, bring down the console by pressing the "~" key and see what version it says in the right hand corner of the console window.

You're still not telling us what version you are running?

• open Quake III
• in the main menu press the ~
• Then come back and tell us what version you are running?

Edit: Opps... didn't see your edit before I posted *teehee* Scourge

[Killinator]

Q3 1.11
so i guess il have to upgrade

[Scourge]

It's free. First update to 1.32 then apply the 1.32c patch. The links can be found in the sticky threads.

Edit: Opps... didn't see your edit before I posted *teehee* Scourge

salright, I didn't see you asking what version before I posted either.

great thx

Hi, can anybody please tell me from where could I download pro-q3dm6 map for 1.16?
I wasnt able to find it so far.
Thx!

[szabi]

OK ive found it here: http://www.game.tomsk.net/files/Q3/promaps.pk3
but I'm unable to make it work.
Ive copied to baseq3, but still keeps me throwing out from pro servers, only that orange quake sign appears. What should I do?

get 1.32 and you'll automatically have it once you've installed the patch.

yeah but i still wana play demo games also.

[+JuggerNaut+]

google for dr watson's point release switcher. or take a look at the stickies, it's in there.

[+JuggerNaut+]

OH DEMO - MISSED THAT THX

[szabi]

NO-NO, I have full version of Q3 with 1.16n patch, and downloaded the promaps.pk3, copied to baseq3 directory and want to play pro-q3dm6 on a 1.16 server. When I search for servers, and select a pro-q3dm6 from the list, I cant see the thumbnail, only that big orange quake sign, and cant join of course.
