Quake3ademo.exe

Not motion blur, use the in game browser and look for server gdonovan. Demo can be downloaded from a number of places including 3dgamers.com and idsoftware.

Gary

Look for server "GDONOVAN" and make sure you disable game filtering when using the server browser.

Zero players on the server is filtered out by default.

Out of practice, back in the day I use to 'netquake on a modem for 6 hours at a shot.

Anyone remember Quakespy? I still have the old install programs, lol.

Hah, sorry I missed you guys... :(

(yeah, I know it was the demo so more people could take part...) ::)

sigh.

The idea is to get as many playing as possible, not everyone has access to Ebay or the inclination to purchase the game.

Anyone can download the demo for free.

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by jandarsun8 on 29.01.07 at 18:18:19
I'll download it tonight when I get home from work and check it out. I won't get home until 5 pm CST. Would love to hook up with you guys.

btw for the lads that have the original [ no this ain't waerz lol ::)]

here on this site:
http://www.planetquake4.net/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=5&min=90&orderby=titleA&show=10

Heaps of maps, models, skins & patches and many more!

it took my like 4 hours to find it!! This is the place where I got the Lone Wolf figure ;)

I'm not sure if the extra maps as models will work with the demo, though I am willing to give it a go.

Post by gdonovan on 30.01.07 at 00:46:49
There is only one version of the demo, 1.11.

This is NOT the motionblur version that was leaked out.

I'll try to figure out a good time for the next setup, I'll have to look up some server commands...

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by paulpsomiadis on 30.01.07 at 03:59:59
Shame it's not possible to "cross-play" between the DEMO and RETAIL by simply loading the same maps... :P

...I can dream I guess! ::)

LOL! ;D

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by gdonovan on 31.01.07 at 20:56:02
open the q3 cfg file and do a search for "fps"

You will find two entrys with "fps" the one your looking for has a value of "0" change it to "1" and save.

I think it states something like "display_fps=0" but as I'm at work I can recall.

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by gdonovan on 31.01.07 at 21:00:33
I'll fire up the server again in about an hour-

look for server "3dfx-gdonovan"


Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by Mansfield on 31.01.07 at 21:19:39
ok I found that fps it was set_drawfps "0" or something...

trying now.

Looks like the master server is down, I'll keep trying for a bit while I tinker with the server.cfg file.

I think I have it setup right for an 8 player game with 15 minute roation and 20 frags before roating to 4 different maps, perhaps I can get a few bots going to.

We got a heartbeat from the master server, I think were up!

False alarm, ugh.

cowabunga that was fun ;D and yeah thanx for downing the bots I know for most of you they are easy but beleve me when playing Flight Sims almost every day Playing Q3A can get alot different heh.

thanx for the fun everyone :)

Hey Gary what settings did you use on the 6K?

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by gdonovan on 01.02.07 at 00:26:40
The V6K was running in dedicated server mode, not much to see =)

I'm going to fool with some other settings to see what else I can change to make it more fun, gravity cut to 50% might be interesting.

For some reason I can see the game on the Q3 master list, very odd.

Title: Re: running a Q3demo server 7:45 PM EST
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 01.02.07 at 00:34:21
yeah very odd indeed heh oh well 50% gravity hmm would have a Descent 1/2/3 taste to it then hmm for a few maps it would be a nice idea, but not for all, running & doging rockets is more fun, try and mix the settings a little :)one map with no gravity hah , one with 50% gravity 2 with 100% gravity orsay normal mode

start the game and bring down the console (press ~, the key to the left of number 1) at any time.

type in:

bind "f12" screenshot

press enter and then exit the console.

Now everytime you press F12, you get a large TGA file in the Quake3 directory.

It's a term referring to someone who does not usually drink alcohol at all. ;)

I suppose I do break the rule at times - but only at celebrations... ::)

...Birthdays, Easter, Xmas, New Years, etc... :D

But I don't drink much at all when I go out with my mates. ;)

Maximum is usually 2-3 beers or lagers... :)

I'd rather have a good time and STILL remember it the next day... ;)
