As simple as possible. I've downloaded xp-1.03-full.zip (latest)
I've read all the documentation
I've opened Quake 3 and ran the mod
I've joned other Excessive Plus servers with much enjoyment
Grapple works everytime, no problems.

I try creating my own local network game with friends on a lan using excessive plus.
No problems.
This is NOT a dedicated server.
Excessive works just fine.
We play and have tons of fun.
EXCEPT NO GRAPPLE.

I've read all the documentation.
I've searched the forums.
I can't get it to work locally to save my life.

I've modified my default.cfg
Weapons {
Offhand Grapple: 1;

Grapple {
Cycle: 300;
Damage: 900;
Speed: 2000;
Time: 10;
Pull Speed: 800;
Style: 0;
Gravity: 0;
Sky: 1;
Time to Live: 10000;
Weight: 1.0;
}

It doesn't work.
I've tried copying the default.cfg into the root of the folder excessiveplus (instead of conf) and the grapple doesn't work
I've tried manually loading the default.cfg from the console.
I've tried manually loading every .cfg file in the conf folder
I've tried adding the lines seta allowGrapple "1" & "0" and seta offhandGrapple "1" & "0" in my q3config.cfg file.
I've even tried forcing the Default Weapon: 512 and Start Weapons: 10

NO MATTER WHAT I DO, GRAPPLE DOESN'T WORK EVER AT ALL IN EXCESSIVE PLUS LOCALLY. But works just fine when I connect to anyone else's DEDICATED SERVER.

Any suggestions? I'm dying here. I WANT to play with the grapple locally... It even shows it loading as an icon when the map is loading... BUT NO GRAPPLE IN PLAY

Thanks in advance.

One question, wich weapon config does your server.cfg calls?

And wich server.cfg you use to that matter?

As far as i remember you cannot edit default.cfg, it is always used from pak0.pk3 (but im not 100% sure).

so you have to make a new weapon.cfg and a new server.cfg and load the game using

quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set dedicated 1 +exec new_server.cfg

and in that new_server.cfg

you need two lines

set xp_config "conf/new_weapon.cfg"
set xp_rotation "conf/my_maps.txt"

give it a try and tell us if it works Happy

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!

It should be Start Weapons (your current number) + 512 asuming you have 511 as Start Weapons value it should be now 1023 that will enable the grapple.

Maybe it's possible to make a grappling hook out of bananas? Improvise, boy, improvise! Bwaha.
