Quake3World

My map won't work on Quake 3, but still does on Quake Live. I have com_hunkmegs set to 5000, so don't try to suggest that to me. And I always type in sv_pure 0 before I test my map. The only response I get from trying to load my map is a 'Quake 3 has stopped responding message'.

What does the console say? `/condump console.txt` will write its content to a file.

I don't think you understood me. Quake 3 stops responding completely!

Try removing all custom maps from your Quake 3 installation and see if the game still crashes. If it does, try reinstalling. If it doesn't crash, try systematically adding stuff back in until you notice a problem.

Copy your q3config.cfg to your desktop (as a back up) and then delete everything in the q3config.cfg in your baseq3. Also, what point release are you using? Some maps don't work in 1.16 that work in 1.32.

My other custom maps work, even the other ones I've made.

That didn't work and I'm using 1.32c.

the reason for removing other customs maps is to see if there may be a script or texture, model etc conflict causing your error

It rarely starts working if I keep on saving it and converting it for about 200 times everyday. So it can't be the texture.

Try what this gentleman suggests and if it works .. great .. if it does not then we go from there

Did you encrypt the file to get it to work in QL?

Haha, yeah. If you encrypted the file for quake live and put it back in your q3 baseq3 it won't work. Perhaps that's the problem?

I copied the pk3 file and encrypted it, so no.

I don't know if this a temporary fix or a coincidence but when I saved and converted the map into a BSP, I went into Quake 3 and pressed alt + enter (for window mode) while it was starting and then started the map and it worked.

What is the resolution of the levelshot? (If there is one). I tried to load a map with a levelshot I made that was 1920x1080 and it didn't load the map.
