Help again! Why this?

[Pure_Evil]

Got this trying to play Outlaws server.

PE have you installed the v1.32 patch?

If not read the second line on this webpage, It mentions the message you got and also at the bottom of the page there are some links to download it. LINK (http://www.actiontrip.com/files/patches/quake3arena.phtml)

[Pure_Evil]

I have it installed, but I installed some new maps from the lists here at GM. I take it after you install maps you have to re-install the patch if the maps are old?

I always have problems getting Q3 working too. And now I have to do it all over again because I recently reformatted my HD. There is a thread here where I was talked through everything pretty much step by step. That should help.

Oh, I never knew they had a new map pack on the Jumpphreak site.
I&#39;ll try to install it and see what happens.

No offense, but any easy fixes? :unsure:

[FASTway]

hmmm,
I just installed the mappack 5 and I believe I already havr the other one you installed and I could still connect to the GM server.

Did you add the maps to the baseq3 folder?

[Pure_Evil]

yup

I know what your problem is....























you&#39;re playing the WRONG game &#33;&#33; :oooo:

Make sure you have the latest Ufreeze patch.
http://ultra.freeze.co.nz/files/ufreeze-46core.pk3
http://ultra.freeze.co.nz/files/ufreeze-40gfx.pk3


The mod was just patched in the last few days and the Gm server is updated as well.


BTW this is different from the 1.32 release patch

One of the Q3 gurus needs to write detailed step-by-step instructions and pin it in here. :cool:

Pure server is when it uses the original pk3 files. For instance, I was some weapon model replacment pk3s. But when I join a pure server, there reverted back to the normal model.

It&#39;s so funny you mentioned that, Because i&#39;ve been working on that very thing and i&#39;ll post the final version ASAP. :D

Here&#39;s a sample of what I have so far:

This guide is not meant to be a complete "All you ever wanted to know about Freezetag" article, But it should help you to get the Ultra Freezetag (UFT) Mod for Q3 setup and running pretty quickly. I&#39;ll cover the basics and hopefully you can take it from there. I don&#39;t claim to know everything, Remember I just started playing Q3 about 3 months ago thanks to a certain person bugging the heck outta me to try it. Hey Nightflier&nbsp; :wave:

About UTF:
Ultra Freeze Tag is a teamplay modification based on Darrell Bircsak&#39;s Freeze Tag 1.5. It&#39;s just like the game you played as a kid so you should catch on pretty fast. Just shoot the other team, and when they die they freeze. Once you have all the players on the other team frozen at the same time, Your team gets a point and another round will start. To thaw a frozen teammate (a corpsicle), Stand next to him for a while. When your team reaches the round or time limit, The game is over.

Let&#39;s get busy
1 Install Quake 3 Arena

2 Download and install the v1.32 point release patch: (Make sure to install Punkbusters when it ask)
v1.32 - Clanbase site LINK (http://www.clanbase.com/miscdl.php?did=606) (Faster)
v1.32 - IdSoftware site LINK (http://www.idsoftware.com/games/quake/quake3-gold/) (Slower)

3 Look in the Q3 setup menu and make sure you have the Automatic downloads (Look in Setup/Controls/Misc) option turned on and have Punkbusters enabled (Look in Multiplayer). Then download the pbweb file from this site LINK (http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=updatepb.php) to your Quake III Arena&#092;pb folder and then double click it to run it.

4 Download the Ultra Freezetag Mod v1.1 Final (This version includes some help, tip & readme.txt files is why i&#39;m using it)
(Just choose one way or the other, You don&#39;t need to do both)
Manual install .Zip version LINK (http://ufreeze.com/ufreeze-1.1-final.zip) (Extract to your Quake III Arena folder)
or
Self installing .Exe version LINK (http://ufreeze.com/ufreeze-1.1-final.exe)

5 These files will change each time they release a new version of the mod. Just come to this step to get the latest version each time. Hopefully this will be easier for you. Good news is they have just made the v1.2 Final, So there shouldn&#39;t be any updates anytime soon and all servers should be updating to and running this version. Download these files to your to your Quake III Arena&#092;ufreeze folder. IMPORTANT: For some reason sometimes during downloading these files a .zip extension gets added (example = ufreeze-46core.pk3.zip) Do not unzip these files, Just rename the file deleting the .zip extension and leaving the .pk3 extension.
ufreeze-46core.pk3 LINK (http://ultra.freeze.co.nz/files/ufreeze-46core.pk3)
ufreeze-40gfx.pk3 LINK (http://ultra.freeze.co.nz/files/ufreeze-40gfx.pk3)
pmskins.pk3 LINK (http://ultra.freeze.co.nz/files/pmskins.pk3)

6 Time to set some settings that will help you be a better team player. Important These need to be done while playing the mod or they won&#39;t work, So join a server (I used one that no one was in so I didn&#39;t interfere with other players).
Team Chat - While connected to the server, Hit Esc, Go to Setup, Controls, Misc. and assign a key to the Chat - Team option. This will allow you to talk to your teammates without the other team seeing what you are saying (Guarded, All Clear, etc....)
Draw Team Overlay - Go to Setup/ Game Options and select a location on your screen you would like for it to be located (upper right, upper left, etc....) This is very handy because you can see things like where your teammates are frozen at so you can thaw them out (Stand beside them for 3 seconds to thaw them), What their strength is, How close they are to unthawing on their own, What power ups they have.
Grappling Hook - Drop down the console (~) and enter /bind e +button5 then hit enter. (I used the e button in this example, But you can use any button not already being used)

Strategy
1 Get Help - When you are the last unfrozen player (You will hear a warning sound to let you know), Try thawing some teammates instead of fighting. Be sneaky. If you look in the Team Overlay and see one of your teammates is about to thaw by themselves, You might want to sit and hide rather than risking getting into a fragfest and giving away a point to the other team.

2 Avoid splash damage - When thawing teammates, Try standing on their head instead of standing next to them. This makes it harder for splash damage to hit you and any enemy has to hit you directly.

3 Grappling Hook - If the grapple is enabled on the server, Learn to use it and love it. You can use it to get to certain spots on the map or to cling to walls (keep holding down the button). Instead of dropping down from someplace high and losing health because of the fall, You can also use it to grapple down.

4 Play for the team - Instead of thawing by standing next to someone, shoot them off into space, lava, slime, or death fog whenever possible. You don&#39;t get a point for a thaw, but it&#39;s much safer and often quicker.
