MapCore's Quake 3 15th Anniversary Contest Playtest Server

Sprony · November 23, 2014 at 10:10 AM

In case you missed the article I've setup our very own Quake 3 server. We can use this for play-testing and hosting games. So if your map is ready for play-testing please leave a reply here with the latest version (download link) and I'll upload it. Make sure that it's server ready. Meaning it needs to contain all the necessary files, a level shot, bot file and so on. If you just want to play you can find it here:

All submitted maps are uploaded. If you want to test them with friends here's the info to run the server

You can login with /rconpassword 1162577

Other useful commands:

/rcon map mapname

/rcon addbot botname skilllevel 1-5 meaning /rcon addbot bones 2

Let me know if you need a new version of your map uploaded. Keep submitting guys and get your friends to play-test!

Here's a link to the latest version of Caldera: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64384600/q3dmcaldera.pk3

Hey guys,

I have some problems getting the maps to run on the server. I've opened a support ticket over at the host, I'll report back once I know more. Feel free to add your map to this thread though.

Also, if you have a revision please update your post and reply that there's a new version.

Regards,

Sprony

Ok, the maps are on the server. BUT...the server doesn't do auto download so make sure the .pk3's above are already in your baseq3 directory otherwise you can't play.

Let me know if this works for everyone.

Remember, I'm also figuring this out as we go a long

Thanks for hosting it for testing!

Here's a version of my level, sadly no bot support at the moment. Having issues with compiling it (see my thread for more info).

Edit: thanks fKd for spotting the errors quickly! Tested in wrong Q3, and it went for the uncompressed version. Updated the file and will look into the missing textures tomorrow (which is weird because the same textures is showing on other places,,,)

Edit2: Found why there was missing textures, missed the q3map2 shader file. I hope that was all of the missing textures.

Spronyvan Johnson: I can't launch the server! It makes me wait while it counts to nobody knows what number... is it down? I tested all maps singleplayer tough and I must sayits pretty awesome (especially q3dmp29). Is this strange names of the map necessity? Do I have to call my map q3dreco1 ?

fKd · November 26, 2014 at 10:16 AM

update, not sure about the rail...

updated, minor fix. LG didn't spawn now it does. Still trying to get bots though...

Here's my download link for q3gwdm2 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkkrb4ipoid008r/q3gwdm2.zip?dl=0

Do we all need to manually download the latest versions to play on the server? I get filed to load, *mapname*.bsp. I saw a cmd that's sv_allowdownload 0/1 maybe thats something you could add on the server? I have no idea thats how its done, but would be nice to automate it.

Hipshot · November 27, 2014 at 8:21 AM

You need to set the client to download too, like this

cl_allowdownload 1

however, it won't work anyway, cause it says that the server isn't pure, try and set it to sv_pure 1 Johnny

Daniel Nilsson · November 27, 2014 at 1:43 PM

Played a few rounds but it seems that the server is stuck on Joacims level, nice level but would be fun with a map rotation

Fixed it so thanks for the tips. However, I still recommend downloading the files yourself. The server is extremely slow. Around 10 minutes download time per map.

I'll look into the rotation issues.
