I would like one of those turkey cutter knife thingys. Really loud and violent. Ok, I\'m tired :)

mmmmmmmmmm

lan im recovering from one hell of a lan party

talk about kick ass

even though some how i manage to get 60fps with my shitty i740 i really really think i should pick up a tnt2

dont know why i botherd to say that, just bored i guess.

well, i guess it only uses the colors closest to the word. Hmmmm.. How about USING TWO AND CLOSING ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE?

Hi again. Just a TEST to see what HAPPENS if you apply TWO or THREE colors to one word.

Hey you TNT users with problems.. One of my friends had the same thing, and we got it fixed by going to the \"System/Graphics Options\" menu in q3test, and changing the \"GL driver\" setting to \"Voodoo\" instead of \"Default.\" Try it out, maybe it\'ll work for you too. Respond if it werks, please.

Also, bear in mind that a lot of IHVs have been releasing new drivers specifically for Q3A, so if you haven\'t checked for driver updates in the last couple of months, you might not have the absolute most current drivers.. ;-)

Tried GLSetup yet ??

If you are using the 3dfx MiniGL thingy that was used for Quake-II, I seem to remember it don\'t work for Q3A and you gotta d/l+run GLSetup to get Q3A going on V2s..

and/or

Need a URL on that... Try dis one -- http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html -- ;-)

To all of you TNT users with texture problems: Grab the latest nVidia reference drivers (2.08). That helped two of my friends that had exactly the same problems. One is on a Spectra 2500 and another is on an ASUS V3400. No problems whatsoever after that.

I think the lightning gun needs to have a really loud intimidating sound (like q1), so i agree with the previous ppl. But does anyone think its a bit TOO powerful? maybe its just me...

the halflife rape gun (you know which one that is)
is 10x better than the Quake3 LG because when u are
an HPB u can acrtually use it.

The new lightning gun kinda sux. It\'s effective, but it has no snap crackle pop satisfaction to it, ya know? The lightning gun should feel like a fuckin bolt!! A crackling ripping bolt of lightning!! Not a gay fuckin hair dryer like it is now. On the brigh side, the new bouncy fast rockets rule! And the rail is once again your friend!

replace all the \"can\"s in my last message with \"can\'t\"

Is it just me, or does the melee weapon in q3 make absolutley no sense....are they gonna change this?
you can tell if your making contact....you can hit a wall or anything to see if its working or not....

i dont get it...if i\'ve missed something then lemmeknow...cause thats possible...

Oops...

Re my below... I just checked John Carmack\'s .plan and can\'t seem to find the info... I did remember someone doing a paragraph explaining what the values did... oh well.. ;-)

Texture ripping ?

Mmmm, couple of random thoughts... Try getting the latest GLSetup and latest drivers for your vid. card. Also, make sure you have VSync (Sync to Refresh Rate) enabled (Use one of the vid. card tweak programs if there is no option in your Display Properties tab)

Also, try changing the r_picmip variable (I think that\'s the name... I\'m sure someone will rip my ass correct me if I\'m wrong) -- I think it cycles through 0 to like 6 or 7... if you check John Carmack\'s .plan -- go back a few before the \"mailbomb\" update, there\'s a bunch of info there.

Finally... if you can\'t get it working... report it as a possible bug... afterall, that\'s what the test is about.  ;-)

yah, a chainsaw would be badass... like one of those big 50,000 horsepower ones that they use on the lumberjack competitions shown on ESPN2.. those things are badass, hehe

that weapon they got in there now as a close mellee weaponis just lame.. its not even animated, and just in general boring to use and look at..

#6 To your problem, is your card overclocked? You might be cooking your card. Slow that puppy down.
If that\'s not it, what does it do in other games? Same problems?

id has buckled under the pressure of consumer critism before, why OH WHY, wont they just bring the DooM chainsaw back and make everyone happy!!!!!!???? (btw, I love the q1 axe too, but it wouldnt fit with the \"feel\" of q3a anyway)

WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW! WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW! WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW! WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW! WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW! WE WANT OUR CHAINSAW!

Agreed Jeff. I was worried about the sg in the past release, but they patched it up nicely (nice finisher in duels, and a decent pecking weapon in clan situations), so I\'m sure they\'ll fix up the lg. Does too much damage right now :P (in a lan situation - with any lag whatsoever, the damn thing handles like a freaking noodle). The model looks fine on the player, just not when you are holding it. And of course the sound and the actual effect. *shrug*

#6, try r_drawstrips 0 or 1 (opposite whichever yer using)and definately upgrade to the 2.08 drivers

I dunno if my computer (300a@450, tnt, 128, live) is on crack or what, but I turned on dynamic lighting and 16 bit textures with no loss in framerate (??) according to timedemo... and more importantly, it still feels just as fast ingame. Not sure what\'s up with that, but I\'m not complaining.

Hmm... anyone else getting slight audio glitches? Playing the same sound twice, occasionally scratchiness, etc.

haha but i love the bfg! those boxes are lethal

wtf i guess the username doesn\'t work when you click \'Post Anonymous\'

sorry to flood your comments board, i\'m sure you care

#5: obviously this is a test, and the lightning gun isnt complete.. you can expect them to change it for the final release im sure.
its only a placeholder.. the same deal with the explosions of the grens and the BFG

Yanno what is really good?
The Reeses Cups cerel. That was some good shit, especially when the milk is nice and cold, now thats livin\'... the only thing that sucks is they dont sell it anymore where I live... :/
On the bright side, Q3A is accutally fun now =]
