q3 community is lazy apart from the cpm team maybe. wont happen i believe. And its also to split over varios irc networks/websites/countrys+languages/mods/whatever.

http://www.quakezero.com/

thats just totally sad

what is?

that quake zero wank site

why, everyone who plays has it already???????? no more needed

google ftp pak0.pk3 or something

pak0 filetype:pk3
of course it might help to have a hash of the real file.
I don't have Quake 3 on here and I don't feel like copying it over so sry m8z!!11

intitle:"index of" pak0.pk3 457m

imo

sure, but that introduces inconsistencies (filesize is a bit too dynamic to rely on, depending upon the web server's platform, and "index of" will possibly net you some false positives if you don't add the filetype criterion).

This is certainly the main reason why the game doesn't get new players anymore. If there was something like nQuake where you tell your mates: "download that, install that, and connect on this server" and you are already playing, the possibility of extending that by person to person is extremly easy. At the end of the day this is what keeps a fanbase growing and active.

I CAN't wait for QuakeZero, is going to be so easy to get people playing. Even the most retarded of your friends would be able to type a name on the browser and click enter to start the game.

download pak0.pk3
download 1.32 patch
download cpma
*setup config*
done.

why resort to warez when a free Quake3 setup can be achieved?
i know.. because you already have the game and don't care

but then again: tell a n00b to follow those steps and he will be put off just by that.. then whine how CS gets all the attention because everybody plays that :)

but then again: hopefully Warsow will take care of what the Quake3 community is inapt to secure..

warsow? lol.

Why resort to warez?? Uhh.. the last time I checked you need original pak for QW to work too. Just because the game is older doesn't mean it isn't as illegal.

you don't need it.. the only files required from Pak1.pak are the DM maps (which have the sources released under GPL)

textures and shit are compiled into the maps or something. Let's not avoid the facts!!!!

1. you can play dm1 through 6 maps recompiled from source with blank textures (optionally using 24 bits textures if you don't like simple graphics a la Warsow)
2. you can buy Quake1 on steam and get Pak1.pak
3. the maps at point 1 will be compatible with their normal corresponding maps.. so you can play on a server running original dm6 having a textureless dm6 in your client.

with a free Quake3 client things can be even better since the popular id maps are included in the 1.32 PR + demo

Wait, recompiled maps don't cause crc errors or anything like that and work with the original ones?

soonish :)

He is actually right. This is wareizing, but who cares nowadays, is not like id is going to lose millions.

the team and us has to be sure that quake0
gets minimum the playability of quake3 with really needed
improvements to establish a professional level in onlinequake (improved lan too) like for example:

-no fps limit, fast engine (fast as q3 minimum for widespread, better as downscalable as quake1 for >1000fps)
-very secure and fast anticheat program with regular updates
-good reliable netcode without warping and smooth models on low and middleping, playable highping - if possible improved updaterate
-sharp and exact gfx, no blurry crosshairs ... or washed out huds
-good input methods, and all possible ... not like in q4. win32 api, dinput and adding the new methods
-besides that the level and content of cpma,osp and comparable mods or clients (ezquake for quake1).
people have to write that down on sites, comments and emails how important it is to leave the q3 features intact and add the needed improvements to make quakeing secure and a step forward !
they mustnt cut out single features that made quake3 big

and thats the problem like with d3 and q4 -> if the game isnt better than the existing q3 it will be an unwanted threat

its ok as it is

q3 is full of hatrage,

is there so much hating and anger in the other games of this series as well? talking about the multiplayer ofc..

the quakeworld scene is really great and very helping with newbies

i feed on it

The CPMA scene has a newbie channel #cpma.na and apart from some freaks the scene is quite beginner / newcomer friendly.

CPM is pretty nice to new players so long as they aren't morons. If somebody comes on though and ruins a game because they won't accept the fact that they have no fucking idea how to defend but won't go on attack then they're gonna get called an idiot :).

must admit nquake is really nice

pure is the reason why

So, if you download pak0.pk3, PR 1.32 and CPMA you can join any non-cdkey server?

If so, anyone cares enought to make a pack of the whole thing and rapidshit it?

P.D: Doing that, you don't "install" the game at all (it is not included in the windows registry). It doesn't matter at all?

you're an idiot.

Hello, I am Aquashark. I use any opportunity to try to flame meltvord because he always owns me at everything. I have to add I fail at anything you want to mention, including being a troll.

hello, i am meltvord. i'm retarded enough to disregard the subject at hand and mumble something about warez with a lot of self-importance. now i will GTFO. over!

you're an idiot.

read bellow.. maybe you'll get it after all

Just fucking google it ; D

yes, but get this..

what if there would be:
- a free, single, small package
- easy to download from a single site
- easy to install
- using ChallengeQ3 which doesn't allow people to get lost in the wonderful retarded world of /baseq3/ (cpma being the default game dir)

Quake3 is not a long forgotten game like Quake1 (that people have no clue about and can't be bothered to try it) and a free installer would attract a really good amount of new players..

well it's your choice to be self-destructive.. but this will deny the legitimacy to whine at tournaments organizers that choose Halo or WoW instead of a deathmatch game.

Yeah and I'm all for a 'stand alone' package but it's not as easy as it sounds. I'm sure arQon & the promode have contemplated on this for some time.

it is easy, actually. what's not easy is not understanding how to do this and having pretentious idiots who are already familiar with a video complain about it.

for instance, I've been installing Quake 3 this way for years: copy pak0.pk3 over, download the latest point release, and I'm done.
I also installed Quake and Quake 2 in similar ways before, but I can't remember, for the life of me, how.

this does not mean I'm stupid. what it means is you are stupid for being lazy and not making this easier.

hope this helps. p.s. you're a really shit programmer.

You have no idea what's going on here. Stay in school.

starting this thread is like kicking the Quake3 community in the balls ffs.. or just its trolls

dont all the qw stock and even a lot of the custom maps use id textures? what about the id sound media etc.

how is this diff from someone uploading cnq3 including pak0 to sourceforge and saying its free?

yawn.. nQuake is legal, i won't bother to explain it for the nth time.. SyncError said it was ok, so let's move on to the subject at hand..

Quake3 has the advantage of not having textures hardcoded in the .bsp file and uses external textures (tga/png) which can be easily replaced.

it is 10 times easier to make a free Quake3 client and live happily ever after..

anyway.. whatever, you people are clearly unconstructive, so unrespect!

its maybe easier for the cpm crowd, but the vq3 ppl get hindered by not having a guid system so we could get rid of pb ;/

remove PB from server code, compile.. replace old server binary everywhere. no more PB!

but seeing the retarded inertia of the Quake3 players (OSP vs CPMA), something on this scale won't ever happen

did you intentionally over read the guid system part?

as i said.. modify the server, remove anything related.. change the master server maybe.. this is a little problematic though

First of all Quake 3 uses the pure system. You cant alter content and play with it on pure servers (and that's a GOOD thing) unless the _mod_ (not client) includes alternative textures. (That would still make it pure though).

THere are alternative clients (ioq3, cnq3) but that's not what you mean.

The Quake 3 _content_ isnt freely available. It's copyright protected and that includes:

textures
models
animations
sounds
maps

It isnt just textures :)

A lot of the free clients for QuakeWorld are using shareware content and can optionally use content from the fullgame.

A similiar solution could be possible for Q3 using the demo version but you wont be able to join full version servers.

PunkBuster is more a curse than a blessing and I doubt it can do anything about new cheats.

you can already join full version servers with demo + 1.32
unpure only though :)

i keep wondering what id s marketing is thinking...

i would have many ideas to promote the whole series..and make money selling them...

but then again..people prolly could not apreciate the depth of these games..

yeah.. the "OMG! DIRECTX 10.0" idiots wait for years for a shit game like Crysis and they move on to the next sack of shit with "next-gen" graphics.. people just have no respect for high-quality gameplay
