Bug fixes galore! Vastly improved code! Brand new maps! Oh my! WQ3 version 2.2 is finally released. Turkey, gravy, dressing, pumpkin pie & WQ3. YUMMY!
For a complete list of changes in this release click HERE.
If you're new to this mod, you'll want to download one of the FULL packages. We reccomend wq3_b22_full.exe for Windows users. Mac & Linux gamers will need the wq3_b22_full.zip. Windows users who dislike executables can also take advantage of the zip package. If you already have version 2.1 installed you simply need to grab one of the update offerings.
Make sure you download the map pack too or you'll have trouble connecting to game servers!!! If you already have NoNameCity then you MUST delete it before installing the map pack. It will not overwrite correctly.

And here's a second helping of good news! Ol' Pardner has brought some homemade biscuits to the feast with his final version of No Name City. Mmmmm........new fan maps are so buttery & warm. This new level is included in the fan-made map pack that you can download at the links above. Most servers will have these maps in rotation, so it's best to grab it to avoid connection problems. Go ahead & belch y'all. It ain't bad manners, it's just good food!
NOTE: It may take some time before all game servers are updated. Those that have upgraded will likely have "2.2" stated in their name. You can check the list of servers HERE.
If you'd like to chat with other players, our IRC channel is #westernq3 on irc.quakenet.org
BONUS! I haven't tested it personally, but I'm told you can use an independant executable from http://ioquake3.org/ to run WQ3 without having the retail Quake3 installed. Thanks to our texture replacement file (included in 2.2) there are no missing textures when playing in this fashion. Our next planned release of WQ3 will reveal our very own Stand-Alone project to the world!
