clanserver.de|Testserver is running an older version of wq3.
Wasteland - Testing, ClintStones Playground, and Screechin' Varmit's roundup are all passworded.
So, you won't be able to connect to any of those servers. You should do just fine with the rest of the wq3 servers, provided your wq3 installation isn't missing anything. If you are in North America, I reccomend you try RAWHIDE first. All other non-passworded servers are in Europe.

yes but when i try to get on rawhide it tells me that its running protacol 68.
What is that and why wont it let me on.ANNNNND How do i fix it.

[ReD NeCKersoN]

Search google for Q3 1.32 point release and install it. You seem to be running an older version of Q3.

The protocol 68 message tells you that your client engine is not "talking" with the same protocol as the one used by server.
This generally means that you are certainly not up to date. At least, this is what I remember if I have not used ID's point release v1.32 (when I used to play on Windows).
Btw, I never used OpenArena, so I can't say more.
About Clinstones server, I think the server requires a valid CD key, because it is not launched with "+set sv_strictAuth 0".

Using OpenArena, I get the gool ol' unpure client pk3s detected error - any fix for this, sans *ahem* acquiring Quake 3 Arena?

[DEADMAN]

hopefully that works.Thanks alot folks

[DEADMAN]

well it worked, i downloaded Q3 1.32 and now it will ALMOST let me in.It says i need "westernq3/wq_town.pk3"WTF is that and where do i get it.
I JUST WANNA PLAY A GAME!!!!!! Good lord....

[Nyarlathotep]

That's a custom map - you can download it somewhere on this sight, I forgot exactly where. It's in fan_maps.zip or its own separate file...

@ Nyarlathotep: The poster "Zapata" in this thread didn't seem to have trouble with OA. Maybe you could pm him? Or possibly ask around at the OpenArena forum.

*EDIT*

protacol 68

that would explain why you can see any wq3 servers in the in-game browser

I'm going to go post something there, yeah.


Note: this is the error I received:

Bit of an update: this could possibly be fixed if the host of a server running normal q3a sets sv_pure to 0 (sv_pure 0 from the console). Not sure about that, I haven't tested it.

[ReD NeCKersoN]

Yeah, I hate to set sv_pure to 0 though. I'm sure you can imagine why, what with no punkbuster enabled there already. Dunno if it'll help or not, but we have a lot of successful players using ioq3 instead of openarena. Although, as I understand it, OA is based on ioq3? BTW, I saw you try to connect & get the error.

[Nyarlathotep]

I'll give ioq3 a shot.

[DEADMAN]

where do i put this map?
