Quake 3 Arena - SERVER OPEN NOW!

Damien · Thu 22/12/2005 17:00:55

Oh no, oh no, oh no. I have somehow misplaced my UT CD and can't seem to find it anywhere. Untill I get UT again somehow, I'm only able to play Q2 or ET.

Damn.

Corey · Thu 22/12/2005 17:59:22

what do you mean by misplaced??

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Thu 22/12/2005 18:05:47

misplaced = lost

I can't play ET on my computer until i get a new graphics card, as the on board one that game with my mother board sucks. I'll be conveniently recieving the card as a christmas present, so everything works out...

If your going to make a server on ET, pm me time and date and name... (We are talking about Wolfenstein ET, right? Just makin sure...)

There is a Q3A server which is free now but anyone could join it at anytime. It is called Ravens Downunder and the IP address is 210.49.198.215
If you want to join now go ahead because I will be there. Max of 6 players. It is the server I am almost always at when I'm online.

Gregjazz · Fri 23/12/2005 03:54:14

I tried joining it but it's taking too long... it says "connecting to server..." and I wait a few minutes and it does nothing.

Corey · Fri 23/12/2005 06:38:31

I think that means that the server is unactive, atleast thats what i ment when i my friend tried to join my server and got this message.

Gregjazz · Fri 23/12/2005 06:44:47

Just PMed Mozza -- the server runs 1.30, when the latest version (what you probably have) of Quake III Arena is 1.32

mozza · Fri 23/12/2005 08:15:42

Ok, I have sorted out some problems with Geoffkhan and after interrogating him I realised that we all don't have the same version. Well duh mozza. So I have updated my version to the latest and I strongly recommend you update yours here. It is the id website.

Now with that version you should find that there will be a lot of servers so try just going specify and entering the ip address first but if that doesn't work try waiting until the name pops up.

The server is called "MODESTOLAN.COM QUAKE" and the ip is 66.52.66.40.
The server is open now and is not private it is just one I picked. It is just normal deathmatch and I'll be there.

sportyjay · Fri 23/12/2005 08:22:21

The IP doesn't work, so just wait for it to show up on the multiplayer menu.

mozza · Fri 23/12/2005 08:45:31

You will probably have to look for it in the multiplayer menu as sportyjay has said. I won't be there for a while as I'm going for a drive with my family. I will probably be there when I get back though. Until then, bye.

Gregjazz · Fri 23/12/2005 18:31:27

When I go into multiplayer it checks through around 1500 servers and only one comes up on the list.

mozza · Fri 23/12/2005 22:28:17

It should say something like: Showing x out of 1500 servers. or something like that and x keeps getting higher as more servers show on the list. I will look for another server now that we can connect though the ip with, because I find it easier to connect directly rather than manually searching through a list populated by about 1500 servers.

EDIT:
The server is:
OPC|Q3*FFA
207.44.202.82

It has Punkbuster Enabled so ensure that you do too. Try the ip address first, if that fails try looking for it. I'm in there now, bye.

EDIT2: How is this for a time again?

To convert your time and find out how long it will be go here.
Get ready to frag!

I'll see you there!

Gregjazz · Fri 23/12/2005 23:47:15

Trying to join... I'm not sure if it stalls or what when connecting. I open up the console and it connects fine, but then it seems to stall at the part that goes: "PunkBuster Client: Received New Security Information"

Is it downloading an update (though the latest version of PunkBuster is supposed to come with the latest Q3 patch) or what?

mozza · Sat 24/12/2005 00:00:36

It works for me. Have you tried waiting to see if it frees up?

Gregjazz · Sat 24/12/2005 01:29:56

Okay I'm going to leave it up for a while.

EDIT: I had supper and then came back. I got to "Awaiting Connection... 143" and then I gave up.

mozza · Sat 24/12/2005 02:20:38

That is weird. Can you try again now and I'll see if there is any signs of you actually connecting then dropping out. Then can you describe what you see on your screen. Also in setup player change your name to Geoffkhan or something that I will recognise as being you.
Thanks.

Changed my name and trying again...

I go to "internet" then click "specify" and then type in "207.44.202.82" then press "fight" and then it brings up the "Connecting to 207.44.202.82" screen and there's text that says: "Awaiting Challenge...1" and the number slowly goes up. It doesn't seem to drop me or anything but it just stays there.

EDIT: Oh, and just in case you're wondering, my copy of Quake 3 Arena is perfectly legit.

First of all, oh sure your copy is legit

nah I believe you.
I can't see why it would not let you connect unless it has something to do with where you live, and we can't help that. I have an idea that might help us see what the problem is. How about you find a server you can connect to, then I will see if I can connect to it too. We can then see if it has something to do with your end or with the server's end. Or something.
Thanks.

i just joined but there was nobody thereÃ,Â

(the OPC server that is)

mozza · Tue 17/01/2006 05:29:04

Okay, I can get a private server up (thanks to a friend) but the only thing is that it is in version 1.30. I think that most of you probably would have upgraded to 1.32, but this is the best I can do. To find out which version you have, on the title screen push "~" on your keyboard to bring the console down and look in the bottom right.
I will just have to talk to my friend about the name and IP of the server.
Does anyone still want to participate?
