Excessive plus runs on Quake3 and it doesn't need any separate .exe or .bat 's?

quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus
or select mods from game menu and excessive plus.

Of course if you don't have orginal Quake3 for Mac you can't play this mod.

Yes, i don't know what file extension mac uses for excutables. Or does it use at all.

There is no excutables in Excessive plus? What he needs is a working version of quake3 for mac?

Yes, I tought exactly this was the case that first you downloaded the Excessiveplus installer then you got the .zip and realized that there are only .bat .exe files inside? Am I right?
Excessiveplus is not stand alone game. You need Quake3 to run Excessive Plus. Excessive Plus is a modification for Quake3.

(Inside the zip .bat files are only for help to make it easier to run excessiveplus. Qtool.exe is connection tool if I remember and Qname.exe is a tool which you can make pretty names)

Edit: Oh... and if you have Quake3 for mac just extract the zip files in \excessiveplus directory under your quake3 folder then it will work.

OK check this:

from the download i moved JUST the excessiveplus folder into my quake3 folder in my Applications folder. (Macintosh HD/Applications/Quake3)

I didnt move the .bat files.

Now when I go to MODS in the Quake 3 meny, Excessive plus isi n there, and I can loasd it, but whe ni go into MULTIPLAYER to play an internet game, it disconnects me....

Edit: I moved the 3 .bat files into Macintosh HD/Applications/Quake3 (Not the excessive plus folder) and it does the same thing.

So your Excessive plus folder is Macintosh HD/Applications/Quake3/excessiveplus?

and you CAN load it from mod menu?

http://www.excessiveplus.net/spider/mod=excessiveplus

Try to look one server above link and connect directly to the servers address+port

edit: oh.. seems like you solved the problem here: http://forums.excessiveplus.net/viewtopic.php?t=6510
