Hi,

I have added support for ExcessivePlus to my freeware program Quake3LevelRandomizer (Q3LR).

Q3LR is aimed mainly at people who play against bots and have a large collection of maps, bots and weapon models. If you have a lot of pk3 files you'll notice that Q3A gets slower and eventually stops working. Q3LR shifts your pk3 files to a storage folder and only copies them back to baseq3 as they are needed. It creates random configs of up to 20 maps from your collection and adds random bots and weapons from your collection as well. It only repeats a map after it has gone through the entire collection.

I have about 1500 pk3 files (maps, bots and weapons) and Q3A wouldn't even launch with that many, but with Q3LR I can play through them all without long loading times between maps. (And it has an inbuilt picture viewer so you can view jpegs over the "Awaiting Connection" screen.)

The old version didn't work with ExcessivePlus because of XP using its own folder for config files. So I have updated Q3LR and now you can select to launch with ExcessivePlus and also select which conf/config to run (excessive3.cfg or whatever, including your own XP configs).
