Quake 3 Master Server?

[4days]

...a team manages to bring a new Quake game with UDK..

You should have your mouth washed out with soap for that

[EmeraldTiger]

I don't mind if people disagree with me, (though it seems people are overreacting a bit over an opinion) but could you explain why it would be a bad idea? (Note that was a "wishful thinking" post, not meant to be serious) UDK is what most of the games industry uses nowadays, and is consistently updated. And while it has been associated with slow-paced games, I don't see why it would be impossible to mess around in UnrealScript and change some things to give it a fast-paced feel, etc. and whatnot. Unless these things somehow can't be changed - and if that's so, then I agree that it would be a bad idea, and I'd then wonder why people would put such stupid limitations in the first place.

If that's your argument, why not just take id Tech 5 and modify that to give you a new version of Quake with all the intrinsic benefits that id Tech has always had for this kind of stuff. It would certainly be a lot less work.

Also, you're posting on a Quake 3 forum about porting it over to Unreal... that's blasphemy. It's a bit like saying, "Hey guys, lets add a start menu and BSoD to OS X!" or, "Instead of The Force being a life force that exists everywhere that a Jedi can tap into, lets try to make a scientific explanation about microbes living in the Jedi's bloodstream." BLASPHEMY!!!

I hope the master server comes back up. I'm pretty late to the quake III party, I bought the ID complete pack in December as I wanted to play the great games of the past. At least Qtracker works.

Hello peeps.

I logged in first time in two years, i see this forum is still up and running... Somewhat at least. It sucks the master server is down. BUT, as many already mentioned, qtracker works just fine. Moment ago i checked, it shows way over 100 servers online with few of them having some activity.

[chimpenstein]

remove your hosts file and try the all servers setting for your original master

it's back

So there goes three pages of people wishing hellfire and doom upon id Software for not supporting a 12 year old game.

Incredible... After more than a month of downtime, I thought it would never come back online.

[MrLego]

For those who care...

The Enemy Territory master server is up also.

RTCW is still down though.

Speaking of master servers list in game(ioquake3) I've never had a problem finding a server in my ioq3's in-game3 browser, but now it suddenly doesn't read anything ... is there something up with that or...? I haven't played online in a while so ... I dunno. =/

[chimpenstein]

[Sharkie]

Ahh yes, that worked. thanks.

[chimpenstein]

Great, gone again, hopefully they are just fixing it

[SaviourDCX]

The Dreamcast master server is down to, I wonder if contacting idsoftware would resolve the issue.

[Eraser]

I don't think that's hosted by id Software.

[^misantropia^]

^lol...

Just use QTracker, and search for servers in your country, or a country near you, most smart Q3 hosters would be broadcasting to this knowing what Quake 3 is like with it's master server.

^ That's what I said in the beginning of this thread, yet lots of warm piss in a lot of pants in this thread.

[Sightsniper1832]
