Tried to play some WQ3 tonight

Postby elpresidente » Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:46 am

First, i thought I had the latest version. Apparently, I didn't. I can't connect any server. Some complain about noname something or other but I( don't see that map or in the update. others are empty or give me invalid cdkey error. I'm going to buy another copy of Q3 but dang if those aren't hard to find now.

Anyway, I miss the old WQ3 and wanted to check out the latest version. Maybe I'll reinstall tomorrow. I'm running it on LInux and I just copied my whole Q3 folder over and then applied the Q3 linux installer and the 2.1>2.2 update. I guess I'll just have ot play some ET for now and take care of my WQ3 fix later.

You need to get this:

You don't really have to do that. A lot of folks around here on Linux are using http://ioquake3.org/ these days. It works with several mods including WQ3. Of course, there is one more option. If you'd like to help shape the future of WQ3 you could always post in THIS thread or pm me.

Seems version 2.2 has brought some new players to the party & weekends are better than ever for gunslinging with folks from around the world. Get something going & we'll see you on the servers. Great to hear from you again! :D

Maybe it is coincidence, but if you tried Wasteland Bank Robbery, yesterday, tonight, you may have been kicked.
I was, with various message like "Invalid pk3", "you are kicked" ... until I found out some folks (I will not give any names) kept vote kicking every player who wants to connect.

And yes, as Red said, you certainly missed the fan_maps.zip.
Hope to see on servers, man :D

Awesome. I figured there were maps out there somewhere but I couldn't find them. I'm gonna try out ioquake3. I wasn't aware of it. Stand alone sounds cool, too.
