Quake3World

hey frank, what's your native lang? if it's something normal people might be able to more directly answer some of your questions.

You know what, I can't believe how helpfull this community still is. I mean, wtf?

god im a n00b...i live in estonia...okay so the game works now with the patch..tho padman has no singleplayer..i take it as its supposed to be this way...back to the cd key thing..how can i get rid of it?

There's a file in your \quake folder\baseq3\ folder called just CDKEY.

if you drag that file into notepad it should contain your CDKEY. If not, enter it there in notepad, save the file.

Then set the file as read-only (right click - properties).

I've not experienced this problem myself but I understand this is the solution.

nice thread btw

I did that once but the warning messages are too annoying. I wouldn't recommend it.

IF you want to be able to play online: NEVER enter your cd-keys when you run a mod. Only enter it in normal Q3. That q3key file must ONLY be in the baseq3 folder and not in the folders of mods ("quake 3 arena\osp" and such). You may notice if you start CPMA it will not ask for your cdkey; that's because they just stopped that menu that asks for it from showing up. Properly coded mods don't ask for your cd-key.
