Hello,

I'm having trouble with excessive-plus mod running under ioquake. I can't play with bots in singleplayer, it says "Please download full mod at www.excessiveplus.net" and on some servers it says there are missing files and automatically it downloads them (pak0.pk3,pak3.pk3) but very slowly.

I'm just asking if it was normal? or a bug?

OS: FreeBSD
ioquake version: ioq3 1.36 freebsd-i386 Feb 21 2010
e+ version: 2.0a

cl_allowdownload 1 and connect to a 2.0a server then the files you need are downloaded and you can play singleplayer, atleast that works under MAC and WIN

You don't need those files to play on single player. In fact, you don't need those files to play on any server at all, they are automatically downloaded because they are on the server to support pure 1.03 clients (btw, i really regret when i suggested that to server owners, now those useless files are pushed to clients on those servers when autodownload is on, and causes problems when connecting to pure servers that don't have those pk3s). So my suggestion is to turn off autodownload and download the custom maps you need using the site spider (place the pk3s under ~/.q3a/baseq3/ folder).

That message appears because there isn't a freebsd server binary in the current e+ distribution and i don't think it will load linux binaries, so your only bet is to play online.

btw I'm using ioquake.exe + e+2.0a  but looks like it's not compatibility (sounds problem, sometime can't type anything in chat and others), so I just watching for own servers.

ioquake indeed have many advantages (especially for quake server)
