Let's all have a game...how does Wednesday sound say 9pm?


Normal deathmatch? What maps? Whos going to be server?

Oh and yes I'll play

[Greebo]

Version 1.31 - I can be server I guess. Though it probably wouldn't be dedicated

[Prophet Tenebrae]

It shouldn't make a big difference thought Greebo but yeah 1.31. I'm sure he's open to map suggestions.

[TheGamesMaster]

Everyone does know where to find the patch to Q3 v1.31 (windows)? (For mac useres its a bit more "fun" to setup.)

[Atlantis]

Can people with a demo version (v1.31) of Q3 join in?

I'll be around for Red Alert 2 as well.

I don't know, if you can you will only be able to play the maps that are included in the demo.

Edited bit: Are you sure you can get the demo in that version? I've only seen it in v1.11 for the various platforms.

[LeopardSkinQueen]

I'm up for 9 on Wednesday game of Q3.

[Atlantis]

I've just checked and you're right. My demo is only v1.11. I thought the latest version would be 1.31 (I downloaded it from the official website).

[Prophet Tenebrae]

I'm sure that if you gave Greebo a CD, bought him a drink and a cheeky wee smile, he might burn you a copy...for, you know trial purporses - after which the CD would of course self destruct.

Oh yes - IMs...

I'm on trillian - so it doesn't really matter which one you contact.

Also has anyone else experienced Y! problems with trillian? I've found it won't connect but a friend using just Y! tells me it works fine...

Last chance to request mods.

[TheGamesMaster]

What mods you offering? For Q3 tonight prob just best to do deathmatch and ctf.

[LeopardSkinQueen]

Who's hosting Q3? IP?

[hr]The philosopher Didactylos has summed up an alternative hypothesis as 'Things just happen. What the hell.'

[Greebo]

I'm hosting - ip is 138.251.233.17

No idea what port is but it should appear in the lan list (I hope - did for someone else I tested with, though they were also in smellville)

It won't be dedicated so tell me what you want (ctf/team dm/dm) now.

As I understand it I cna't change what it is once the game is going, without resetting the server.

Oh and if you have specific map requests (appropriate to game type), then write down the map name and I'll change em to that (not messing with map lists either, again cos of lack of dedicated)

Standard port is 27960 and it will only appear in the lan list if you are in the same hall. So anyone not in smellville, you're typing the ip in!

You can change the gametype once the server has started, you just need to do a map restart. If you run with your standard rcon password I can do it for you.

Yea no point in playing with map list, easier just to change them yourself.

[Greebo]

Will try and setup rcon for you

[Greebo]

While I remember
How many (if any) bots?

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Doesn't matter, as I recall you can add them during play.

And you can only see a local game if it's in the same hall? That sucks...

[valen_gr]

as you like, put as many bots as you think.
By the way, can people join your game from other halls?
Just wondering

[TheGamesMaster]

It does suck that you can only see servers if they are in the same hall as you. This however does not stop you playing on servers in other halls (I've played on servers in smellville and gatty) all you need to do is goto multiplayer and select specify put in the ip in the address field (for greebo 138.251.233.17) and then click fight.

Bots can be added and removed at the console without much trouble.
