Quake3 v117 Released

because, um, finding servers is the LAST thing I would want to do, #93, to play my game on the internet. the LAST thing. Why in hell would they allow me to USE the game? good call!

can anyone explain to me why quake3 no longer finds any servers anymore?

hello? did everyone go home?

This is pretty funny.

So, you think you're "l33t"?

I once had so many blue "impressive" logos floating above my model that I crashed the server.

Sometimes when i`m playing nightmare bots and I start to get those yellow "excellent" symbols above my head I get so many that the framerate drops to about 5 fps so I can no longer see what direction the bots are moving in but I still know where to shoot so I have to deliberately miss just to keep the framerate manageable.

Tomorrow i`m due to play DC.Giant on q3tourney2. I`m going to try to beat him using nothing but rotating on the spot. If I time it right I can frighten him into the precipice

You know you're l33t when you win maps on q3tourney2 against 6 people from clan [9] simply by constantly scaring everybody down the precipice near the armour&teleporter, you can`t help but be big-headed. I never even pressed fire. In fact, I don`t even have fire bound to any key or movement I just jump at exactly the right time to scare them off. Final score was 0 to me, and -6 to HAkeem, -7 to Nikodemus, -10 to xenon

Yes, I have played Clan Deathrow. I played 5 of them on The Longest Yard: THRESH, MAKA, UNHOLY, D2B2, IMMORTAL AND FRICK. I made heavy use of the quad buzz saw to bring home a comfortable victory. Yes - they claimed to be tired. They said they were jetlagged after having had to walk from their sitting room to their bedrooms to get to their pc`s. Also, at one point in the game I deliberately (and unknown to them) engineered for them to be lined up in a line. At this point, I railed them and got 5 kills and one near kill whereupon the guy who I didn`t kill cratered 1 second later. At one point I air-rox`ed thresh after he grabbed quad (I let him get it). He died and dropped the quad, it was falling off the level so I did an inverse rj, actually using the blast force to fall faster than the quad, caught it then quad-rj`s off thresh`s falling body to get back up onto the level simultaneously grabbing the 100h and railing Unholy. They said I was the best player they had ever played but said I couldn`t join Deathrow because I would take all the limelight, so I put my handicap up from 25 to 50 and wooped them hardcore.

bwahahaha...I have returned...

Hey id Software, suggestion for ya...charge for this patch. No, really. I guarantee you that they will pay.

Not I, though. I don't waste money on shit.

Okay well these fixes are all well and good but perhaps they could have spent the time to fix the uhm sound bug, ready up/demo switching bug, being able to record without typing g_sync all the time and the numerous other things people have been bitching about for...ohhhh.... the past 5 months. Guess they're not important.

b00la

well I like to down load the patch tonight , but no maybe tomorrow or friday err even saturday may be a better day, then there's always sunday.

Anyone else get the bug where you start in third person for a few seconds then back to the main screen? I'm assuming I'm not matching up pk3's but at least this will bring me up to speed with the other servers and connect on a similar version...

Also, how about binding a key to /quit, this quits the game quick but none of the changes you make to the game's settings are saved.

I don't know the email for feedback, but I have found that you only need pak0.pk3 and pak3.pk3 to connect to a pure server. This would obviously contradict what id software is saying. Can we get some clarification on this??

They just need a few more tracks.

How about a patch that has some crosshairs that you can see against the sky? Nothing gayer than losing sight of your crosshair while a dude is bouncing in the air like a sitting duck. Especially on that overkill map.
White = gay crosshair color

What ever happen to the Load/Save Config option? Please put it in or atleast give us all a good reason why not!!!!

Hey Xian, turn on the auto download feature please. :)

This sounds like it changes the VM source.
I wonder when they'll release 1.17 VM source code.

Not needing the CD in the drive to PLAY online is not new - I play that way now, with 1.16n - Of course you still need the CD to SERVE...
