Cheers for the information provided, I'm aware of Maverick's hosting services and the benefits of game/web hosting providers. I actually run a dedicated box out of Sydney in Australia which provides various services and is closer to me. I'm actually asking the question for self-interest rather than ...

Yeah that's about what I was thinking.

Hi there, We know after a while of a Q3 service being online it tends to get bogged down resulting in Movers being jittery, Jump Pad animations stop etc, usually a manual restart of the Quake 3 instance will refresh it and it's good as new. In the event of only having RCON access, not Root access to...

Should also add a reference to the QTracker master server, it's one of the only working game server browsers that still work in the year 2015, and it also uses it's own MS

Quake 3 players come and go, particularly in Australia.

They come into 'already' setup servers, say "I'm ganna get this game played again", go off and rent a VPS, run a poorly configured service for a week, and then disappear completely (possibly got DDoS'ed and lost interest).

yep, something like that.

I actually had this idea a couple of years ago, but only achieved part success. It wouldn't surprise me if there is actually a mod (ie, RA, CPMA, OSP) that has this feature built in. The objective is to have a client 'somehow' execute a config/script file on the Quake 3 server that will show a list ...

In saying that though Eraser, using DM17 for a "rockets only" match can not just be fun, but also can be used for an "actual game type". I used to (and occasionally do now) play with mates with rockets only in that very map, preforming double mid air rocket frags and other timing...

none of the IRC's work.

I've seen the first link before (video), but that one there fKd, I haven't seen that one, looks very nice, I wonder when it will be released.

Are you like 5 years old?, It really isn't that hard, the chances of you even staying around and actually playing serious games is unlikely.

Goto the link provided above.

ROFL....

Nothing else to add.

Oza, my signature here on Quake 3 World, and other fourms Iam associated with shows a GameTracker page of an Australian (Sydney) Quake 3 Arena, Unlagged server, It uses both default and custom content, can be switched between mods, including TA, and has a fast download redirect server so downloading...

I liked, maybe you guys would "like" http://www.facebook.com/GamingNorthernTerritoryNetwork

Always updating information on Q3 and different services.

Yes the MOTD setting is "g_motd" To uzi9mmauto, As well as what you're after, you can also do other tricks too, as such as having a config file in the servers baseq3 directory, with a nice text/color layout (that you design), and set your autoexec to automatically exec the file on the serv...

I have always wondered that myself, People I've spoken to in the past have preferred 1.16, and I have never understood why.

Good to see another server up and running.
let me know if you need a redirect, for custom maps, I have a redirect server based in Chicago (:

^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.

I'm not sure as I don't play CPMA, I might download it and see if it's got it... no use to me though even if it did. but it's nice to know that some programmer out there has made it possible.

Alright, what about "viewing" a text/config file within console that contains a list?. For example, If I had all of the maps in the one directory (/baseq3), and a text/config file that I could open and list the names of CTF maps, Defrag maps, and so on, and then within Quake 3 do something...

This is a question about map directory layout, Is it possible to have sub-directories of maps, and the game can still read it all as if it was all in one folder? Example: Maps for defrag would go /baseq3/maps/defrag Maps for CTF would go /baseq3/maps/ctf Maps for DM would go /baseq3/maps/dm so when ...

I wish I got good ping to India, and I would have if my part of Australia had a subcable that went North. But all our traffic Northern AU, goes to Sourthern AU, across to NZ, Upto Japan, than Across to that area, Minimum 370ms!. If we had a cable directly there, I don't see why I wouldn't have less ...

I'll remember to log in next time, before replying. I'll type it again, lol... I think their is a redirect command for Quake 3 (or IOQuake 3), so that when you connect to a server with custom content, while on "Awaiting Gamestate" you will be downloading content off-site, not from the serv...

One does not simply, find players for these games anymore. Hello to all. It seems that it is getting harder and harder to get players in Quake 3 or Team Arena these days,.. relax this isn't a "rant thread". if anything, this is an indirect advertisement, lol -- I thought I would pop onto t...

From the last page I would like to say that I too find it very unfair of ID Software to overlook the situation at hand, If they no longer want the responsibility of Q3A, They should sell the rights to it (rather cheap) to a company that can take over it, and yes this means taking us off 1.32c of whi...
