Ingame Spider works perfect in the updated version of Quake Q3 1.32/TSU 1.32d win-x86 Dec 16 2008 (not from Id, but from ME). If someone does not mind punkbuster incompatibility and is not afraid of virus infection ( ), he can try it now (rapidshare link, 540 K). To do not overwrite old version with the new one, new quake3.exe can be renamed to q3new.exe and placed to the same folder.

Having installed this version, it is better to add one new parameter into q3config file: seta ui_useGamename "1"
It enables advanced filtering by mod name and prevents servers from fading out while loading the list (if your game is working under specific mod like excessiveplus).

Full list of changes see in the accompanying tsu.htm

And whats wtih that?
[code:1]xp_version xp 1.03/TSU 1.03b (Dec 18 2008)[/code:1]

You could see it in my or other madsod-servers info. This is little updated version of excessiveplus 1.03 (server qagame only), where some problems solved and some features added:

- chat filtering for non e+ clients (prevents view direction jumping when someone chats)

- no e+ version check (clients do not need to upgrade or downgrade e+ to connect to a server)

- normal muting with 'mute' command (but muted state is cleared on level changes)

- blocked <rcon via callvote>

- blocked dropping of empty powerups

- fixed rotation end problem (normal jumping to the start of rotation)

- some new weapon behavior (manageable with cfgs):
* gauntlet can boost player's speed when firing
* bfg style 3 changes (knocking cycle shortening and explosion combining with style 1)
* relative flyout speed for missile weapons (grenade, rocket, bfg, plasma, grapple)

This xp update (and quake3.exe above) was made by me. Qvm code was decompiled to something like assembler source, changes were done and code compiled back to qvm. I try make an attachment.

new vars for game configs:

Weapons:Gauntlet
- Boost - floating point multiplier for the players's speed when gauntlet is firing. Default value = 1. For madsod cfg i set it to 1.313 (400=>525).

Weapons:BFG
- knockingcycle - weapon cycle (recharge time) when weapon is used to push yourself (applied only to bfg style 3 and is experimental). Default value = 600, i.e. when you move with bfg, it shoots faster than its default cycle.

Weapons:grenadelauncher
Weapons:rocketlauncher
Weapons:plasmagun
Weapons:BFG
Weapons:grapple
- relative - flyout speed mode:

0 (default value) - standard behavior: constant speed in all directions; 1 - speed-up mode: flyout speed is relative to player's speed along the view direction and it can not be less than Speed value (i.e. speed adding is done only if the result is greater than Speed constant)
2 - true relative: flyout speed is completely relative to player's speed (simple vector adding, it affects the fly direction)

Two ways to install this xp update:

a) simply rename zip to pak4.pk3 or something like and put it into excessiveplus folder. Players with cl_allowDownload = 1 will download it, but pure mode should work properly.

unpack all pk3 in the excessiveplus folder (first pak0, then pak3; excessiveplus folder must be the root for unpacking both) and then unpack this zip there (replace qagame.qvm in excessiveplus/vm with the new file). Source pk3 files must be removed or renamed (extension changed to be not pk3). Players will never download new file and any other e+ file, but pure mode will force clients to unload excessiveplus mod, because its paks are not referenced on the server.

Or someone knows better way...

does not help all the linux servers out there

They should make servers list same as on urban terror standalone version, their browser see all servers for urban terror in one big list all the time
