OpenArena and servers

Postby Joe Kari » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:21 pm

Hi !

When talking with guys on the XFLR7 server, I have learned that people playing Smokin' Guns with OpenArena aren't able to see any server except XFLR7. That's too bad, because on XFLR7, voting is not allowed, so OpenArena guys never enjoy Bank Robbery and other gametype (and despite the fact it's a french server, the ping isn't very good there for me).

Of course, with the SA coming soon, it is not really a big problem... But if there is a simple way for others servers to be seen by OpenArena, could be fine... There is a lot of player we are missing.

There is also another problem with using Open Arena: people playing with an actual copy of Q3 and using WQ3 as a mod cannot join Open Arena servers... like XFLRP.
All I can say about XFLRP players is that you should direct them to the http://www.bootblock.de/wq3/ page. Red, you got a key bond for that one yet? :D

Hmm...This seems to be a problem.

But they could use the "Monster Browser" to see other servers:

BTW: If I use the Monster Browser, I'm able to see all servers except the
XFLR7 server. Maybe this is related to it :?:

@Pardner: I don't know if Red has got a key bond for this link but I have ;)

Yes. OpenArena servers do not report to Id's master server as far as I know & therefore do not show up in MonsterBrowser. But you can add the XFLR7 server to MonsterBrowser with the "Specify" button. :wink:

Ooooops! I think I have a newer, unreleased version! 8O Good for me that I have friends in high places! Torhu told me that he has a few more improvements to make before he releases an update.

The 'specify server' feature is from last summer. ;)

Btw, does anyone know which master server OpenArena reports to?

I've just tried out your newest version of the "monster browser" and now it lists all the servers that you also can see on http://www.bootblock.de/wq3 (including the XFLR7 server).
I didn't had to use the specify option 8)

That's odd. I have to specify for XFLR7 & the G4J servers.

G4J = Gamers4Jesus. They run a server on a home computer, and it is not running all the time. Unfortunately for you Hellrider, they have strict rules about screen names:

One thing I don't get about these so called "Gamers For Jesus" is that they are playing games in which you "KILL" people... hmmmm. :roll:
