Cyrax, do you plan to release a Mac OS X version of the Quake 3 1.32e update? It would be nice;)

Sorrty, not in near future, try to use ioq3 until that

This works great. But what can be done to have people playing it/more servers? There's like 4 servers in the world right now, always empty.

That's some *old* feedback there but iirc the physics weren't quite right for cpm and ql, and the osp mode had antilag on. Antilag + q3 hitboxes rape xerp big times. Other than that it's kinda fine.

haha, yeah, i agree on the antilag bits (i did the OSP mode iirc, may have been changed later though).

Mod installer/archive/servers updated with fixed osp/osp+ rulesets, just forget to say

With CPMA development appearing pretty much dead. How is the CPM ruleset in this? Or just the entire mod in general compared to cpma.

It is really good.

In fact, the entire mod in general is very solid and brings many nifty (competitive) features.

With that said, I don't think they have been able yet to replicate the cpm physics for a hundred percent, but at least it is still being developed actively.

the mod is great, cyrax is a great coder, everything works smooth and he listens to users.

However just load cpm ruleset and check by yourself. Move around cpm3a for instance, try to do lg to mh, or rg to ya with tele or go back from mega and try to double-jump at the stairs, etc... Cpm physics are hard to replicate because the movement is so advanced that you can't play the same way you do in cpm (and eventually maps are useless). This wouldn't happen with ql movement for example cos it's simpler, even if it isn't exactly the same way you wouldn't mind cos ql doesn't really have moves, they made that stuff limited on purpose.


I think somebody from australia posted that there was something being built from ashes but idk..., I don't really care anymore as long as i have my weekly cpm dose, i haven't found a better platform than cpma for cpm like gameplays despite not being finished;
- pql is weird and hasn't got proper maps (besides you gotta pay for it? why would I pay for playing a worse version of what i already got?),
- edawn cpm still is really fresh and it looks like it was put there just to have it, it doesn't look like it has been worked out (i guess cyrax didn't get enough feedback, that's about it)
- warsow is cool looking and has great maps but I dont like dash, autojumping, stairs and ramps, the movement is assisted and seems artificial, it feels like u're driving a spaceship.
- xonotic is shit.


tl;dr: play more promode

nothing about the client is apparently different than vq3, other than ability to select huds from a menu? am i missing something? bright skins are transparent and don't seem to have any color picker. i must be really stupid to miss such obvious things...

r_flares
in_mouse 1 = raw input if possible
win_minimize "alt+z" (fuck q3minimizer)

etc

You have the full list of features, commands and variables in the /docs folder in the archive.

f.e, brightskins:

cg_enemyColors [colorstring]

syntax and values is the same as for color
! will work only if cg_enemyModel is set !

color [colorstring]

colorstring is a 5 char-length string, where

1st char - rail rings color
2nd char - head color
3rd char - torso color
4th char - legs color
5th char - rail rings color

i.e. "\color 12224" will set red railrings, green head/torso/legs and blue railcore

1.3.1 bugfix release + distribution now contains 64-bit client binaries

Fixed some bugs in 1.32e binaries, please re-download updated archive/installer

Some feedback:

a) When I type "/map <anything>" for the first time after starting the game, it always loads pro-q3dm6 instead. On the next try it works fine.
b) Console is flooded with "Error opening crontab file crontab.txt". The core edawn directory which contains crontab.txt is not in my home directory (~/.q3a), but rather in /opt/quake3 and is read-only to normal users.
c) Reading rulesets/ql.cfg and maps/ql_duel_hub3aeroq3.add, I see that with g_ruleset "ql.cfg" and g_gametype "1" a second GA should be added on hub3aeroq3, but this doesn't happen.

You should modify rotation.txt or set g_rotation cvar to "" btw this "bug" is described in FAQ

Console is flooded with "Error opening crontab file crontab.txt". The core edawn directory which contains crontab.txt is not in my home directory (~/.q3a), but rather in /opt/quake3 and is read-only to normal users

This can be a problem if you running pure with non-1.32e client, try to add cfg (in addition to current) extension or set g_crontab cvar to "" for now

Reading rulesets/ql.cfg and maps/ql_duel_hub3aeroq3.add, I see that with g_ruleset "ql.cfg" and g_gametype "1" a second GA should be added on hub3aeroq3, but this doesn't happen

Same as previous: try to add cfg extension (.add.cfg)

Thanks, the GA is there now! :-) Does this mean that the mod will also fail to load other files that don't have the .cfg extension if I use ioquake3?

Yes, this is true even for original 1.32b/c. Also, you can't use custom hud images on pure servers with it. Thats why I made some 'relaxed' checks in 1.32e :)

"cg_autoaction 1" doesn't work, Could you fix it?

New version (1.3.2):
* Fixed non-working \cg_autoAction 1
* Updated ipdb

Matches always seem to start as soon as 2 players have joined. Is there a way to allow players to ready before starting the match? It's kind of an important feature to have in any competitive mod. g_matchmode 1 doesn't do it...

check docs\server.txt:

g_warmup <seconds>
========================

warmup time in seconds

= 0 - means instant match start
< 0 - wait until everyone get ready
> 0 - usual timed warmup

so looks like you need to set g_warmup to -1

Didn't notice that file there. Good stuff! Also:
1. Is there a way to stop connecting clients from auto-joining duels and FFA matches, instead set them to spectator like it is done in team games?
2. I've got multiple servers running. Is it possible to change a cvar instantaneously on all servers instead of having to join each individual server and manually rcon the cvar change(s)?

You could solve #2 with this and a simple script.

Dunno if it still compiles cleanly though. Been a while since I used it. :)

Nice, works perfectly. Thanks...

Sorry for long reply
#1 will be resolved in next version
#2 can be done with rconAddress & rconPassword & rcon set "cvar" "value" commands if I'm correct

Thanks, a few more things to consider for next version:
- com_hunkMegs should default higher. 96 or 128 will do the job.
- cl_allowDownloads should default to 1. People don't know why they can't join servers with custom maps that they haven't downloaded yet.
- when players ready during warmup, there should be a message telling everyone about it.
- bug: typing in the console or messagemode behaves like the insert key is permanently on.
- bug: the quad spawning seams to be properly broken (that's in ql.cfg, if it matters), spawning sometimes after 1:00 and respawning somewhat randomly (not every 2 mins).

sounds reasonable, will be changed

means "everyone is ready, match will start in N seconds"?

- bug: typing in the console or messagemode behaves like the insert key is permanently on.

confirmed, will be fixed

- bug: the quad spawning seams to be properly broken (that's in ql.cfg, if it matters), spawning sometimes after 1:00 and respawning somewhat randomly (not every 2 mins).

there is SpawnTime for powerups i.e. time before first spawn and RespawnTime for next respawns, can't confirm any random spread -- but generally it is an interesting idea, maybe I will implement it :)

Is it possible that you can make a web-based interface like QL? Otherwise all this awesome work is worthless because no one is going to bother with the classic installation.

This requires more than just "code & release": you need to create infrastructure, buy game servers, rent network bandwidth, setup authorization services and perform continuous maintaining all of this stuff

How about letting people manage their own servers? thats what QL needs in any case. Just an online built-in server browser basically.

Hi, i get this error message :

Looks like you just used config from some other q3-based game, try to set r_mode 3

As mentioned earlier in this thread powerup spawns are busted. They spawn immediately like in qw.

I guess you - maybe accidently - installed pak8a.pk3 into your baseq3 folder, just move it away and everything should work as before.

I did have pak8a.pk3 in my baseq3 folder. Removing it didn't fix the problem though. I just did a fresh install of edawn, no pak8a.pk3 anywhere, and the problem persists. I tested multiple rulesets.

This mod is the only way to play the q3 single player campaign with modern rulesets, features, improved bot ai, etc.(afaik), so I do find it has a very niche use (in case anyone was wondering why I'm using edawn).

Ah, you want to play SP in edawn. I remember trying that and running into some problems, can't remember if I ever get it to run properly for SP.
Try to ask on edawn's discord: https://discord.gg/mNaGe2vd

The bug for me exists in all game modes. Since someone else experienced a similar bug I thought I'd confirm it, in hopes that it might get fixed.

I played through the SP just fine except powerups spawning at the beginning of the match. Not game breaking (people still play qw after all), but not ideal. I'm personally done with the SP, but it's something for my young relatives to do when they visit.

I realize there aren't even any servers up for this mod so I understand if a non-game breaking bug that not everyone experiences is high priority or even worth fixing.

Edit: uninstalled edawn, disregard
