Re: you have the same?

If everyone would use the new executable to play Quake 3, sure, but it's unrealistic.

It's like everyone would modify their C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and append the following lines, to be able to use the ingame browser again.

# use the Excessive Plus master server
188.72.250.61     master.quake3arena.com

The vast majority will fade away or move on to Quake Live if the master server stays down.

Re: you have the same?

Yeah kinda thinking that myself

Most of the players on E+ dont really need the master server tbh they use other games clients

My main worry is that you will not get any new players coming thru when using it

Just look at the servers since it has gone down , apart from beer , they are all very quiet

This is why 1.30 is dead

Re: you have the same?

Hey hey,

I got a little help for those who used to connect to servers from the Quake3 Multiplayer Menu, like me.

I use a copy of a modified windows installation: XP SP3, 160Mb bootable copy for me - no programs, only the drivers and teamspeak installed on it, to maxilmalize CPU load etc for the Holy Quake Engine Tongue (btw this way I can earn +100 - 120 frame per seconds at timedemos with my old PC (AMD K7 CPU platform with DDR1 RAMs and GeForce 6600GT)) and no shitloads, red lines in lagometer etc probs...

So my advice for the solution,

put the server IPs to your cfg -> seta server1 "xx.xxx.xx.xxx", seta server2 "xx.xxx.xx.xxx" and so on (these commands are already exist in the q3 cfg file). This means You create the Favourites list in the Multiplayer Menu. Big grin

Hehe I hope it can help for some players, otherwise please don't think I wanted to be a brilliant Big grin Laughing out loud Big grin

Cheers ^^

Thank you Zero6823. My server is showing in the master ingame browser via your binary. Very simple solution if new players will use this
exe instead of original.

Re: you have the same?

But as easy says there no point unless everyone does it

To me the whole point of the master server is to show newer players severs that is running

players on here know of other options to show and play servers , so wont need the master server list

EG : Ditto your server doesnt show on my master server list , as i haven't made any changes

just like a new player would be
