A question

Post by **Sp3c** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 6:41 pm

Hey, i'd just like to start off saying thanks for all the help that i've found so far on these forums, it was very convienent for me, and I found the DL'ds I needed quickly.

Ok, I went into q3 and looked and found around 5 servers that i woudl like to join, but everytime I tried to join them, i didnt have the map, Could you guys/gals, tell me where I may be able to find the more popular maps and where I can dl non popular ones.

Thanks a bunch for all the help.

try googling the name of the map, this works about 98% of the time. or post the name of the map here and see if any1 already has it.

You also probably need to set q3 to autodownload. In your menu go to setup then game options. At the bottom of that list is the autodownload option. Set it to on.

Here you can find pretty much just about any map you could need.

Typing /cl_allowdownload 1 in the console does the same thing. Be warned that autodownloading is usually very slow.

Get pbweb, it updates punkbuster. Place it in your /Quake III Arena/pb folder and run it from there.

Not sure about the freeze tag thing.

Here's the PunkBuster downloads page for Q3: http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=dl-q3a.php

Get Pbweb.exe and put it in "C...Program Files\Quake III Arena\pb" directory. Then run it and it should automatically update.

And you might wanna get The All-Seeing Eye because the server browser in Quake 3 is horrible sometimes it doesn't load any servers...it just really sucks. Besides, with ASE you can see servers for every game, and you can filter certain maps, mods and all that stuff.

You know the funny thing. I've never had any problems with the ingame browser. :icon32:

That's because everyone plays Ultra Freeze Tag (ufreeze) these days. Kick ass mod btw: unlagged netcode, support for multi-view and server-side demos, promode skins and physics (if you want 'em), etc.

but it's sooo much quicker to google it, it's sick.

but if you need to go take a sh*t, then a shower, then grab a bite to eat at Sonic and change your tire cuz you got a flat on the way home, then yeah, your map will be downloaded by then.

if anyone still plays FFA

Post by **Cooldown** » Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:54 pm

1v1: pro-q3dm6, ztn3tourney1, pro-q3tourney4, hub3aeroq3
TDM: q3dm6, q3dm14, ospdm5, cpm4
CTF: Threewave Map Packs

By no means the only played maps, merely a short list of some of the more popular ones.
