Re: Pak0.pk3 problem

perhaps, problem occurred due to large amount of pk3s located in baseq3 folder. try removing some of them

Re: Pak0.pk3 problem

You have too many pk3 files :
remove some from:

  • quake3\baseq3\*.pk3
  • quake3\excessiveplus\*.pk3
How is happening is : when you have too many pk3, q3 will use only a limited number of them ... but because these are random selected then there is a probability that some of them won't be used next time q3 makes the recheck .. quake 3 makes a recheck when you:
  • change your graphic settings (vid_restart)
  • the map changes or restarts (map_restart, map, rotate)
  • connect/disconnect from a server(connect, disconnect)

Re: Pak0.pk3 problem

from the log u have posted, no pk3 has been loaded yet

and couldn't reopen means it has been opened once, so I think it's config related

I propose to backup (cut and put somewhere out of q3) ur :
* baseq3/q3config.cfg
* excessiveplus/q3config.cfg
* if u have some autoexec.cfg too

normally configs should be reseted to avoid any suspicious message.

Wanna avoid seeying mow, skull & co Surprise

Try searching "TUBs maps repacker" and repack all defrag maps

Re: Pak0.pk3 problem

I think you've repacked some .pk3 (point release) or maybe pak0 ^^
