Hi community,

I have tested yesterday a fast download tool and saw that it works amazingly with e+. You can get 1.24MB on 4-5seconds.

Why e+ mod doesn't provide it by default is cos it doesn't support punkbuster. But do you know any public games server using pb ? answer is no

Only thing needed to do is use another executable file than quake3.exe for public games and normal one for cws.



Install for client side

For windows :
Extract quake3e.exe file on quake3 folder from the zip

For linux :
Extract quake3e file on quake3 folder from the zip

Common step :
set cl_allowDownload 1 to download custom maps within seconds Happy
That's all Big grin you can run it to play on any public server with pb disabled.



Install for server side
For windows :
Extract quake3e.exe file on quake3 folder from the zip
Use quake3e.exe instead of quake3.exe on your .bat file

For linux :
Extract quake3e.ded file on quake3 folder from the zip
Use quake3.ded instead of q3ded file on your .sh file

Common step :
add this code to set where is ftp link of quake3 so u can download direcly from ftp ingame. I works simply and great.
sets sv_dlURL "ftp://myftp.com/games/q3"



Server already set to test this tool
I have set up Excessive+ Map Testing Server ip : 95.130.10.38:28000 with server side and I invite you all to try how amazing it is. Ppl will not mind anymore joining a server where they don't have a map and compatible with this.

How to use
If you haven't understood it yet :
  • for public games use quake3e.exe
  • for cw games use quake3.exe

There are few more features on this tool such as ALT+TAB that makes you switch window (msn, check website, etc...) fast then back without any issue.



You can see more informations inside the zip.

Thanks to cyrax for having provided this tool.

if you wanna set server side, you can use anyone's ftp.
You can use existing one as for example, the one I use : ftp://95.130.10.38/
set this code to test sets sv_dlURL "ftp://95.130.10.38/"
look at ftp to see maps available there

ftp should point to quake3 folder

i think best idea not to modify base q3 1.32c, but modify ioquake to run with pb and without errors...

Re: Fast download tool for public games

1.32e is custom exe made for general bugfixes and general more convenience.

However, i suggest to use dfengine.exe - you can directly load maps from a ftp via \download mapname (not pk3 name) - it automatically restarts the q3 map list so you directly can rejoin or change local server to the map without a mapchange first. btw, all at max downloadrate.

I guess its because e+ mod is still kept friendly to basic quake3, noone does really care of pb beyond the 'official' matches.

However accelerated download, compatible with basic q3 clients, also possible.
