I downloaded a mod that would show all of the weapons that people have and show exacly how much ammo they have too. The space (or number of everything) that the could carry was limited, etc. It made everything look cool. But now I can't join a game to play, even in single player.

I have no idea what happened with the mod, but I'm going to have to reinstall. Yes, and hope I don't lose my player file.




I hope the following helps:
<esc>
click &quot;join game&quot; or &quot;teams&quot;
click &quot;join&quot; or the color team you want

You should be out of ghost mode, but it didn't work for me now that I have that mod...

lol @ RSI



it's okay. I still can't figure out how to join the game with my mod now either. So you're better off than I am.

Hey, how do you run Q3 in windowed mode? I just figured I'd ask since we already have a Q3 topic. Its bugging the hell outta me not being able to alt+tab out.

I can alt-tab out of it just fine fullscreen, so what's your problem? :)

Just played... my cousin had already 70 frags by the time I joined... When we quit, he had 100 and I had 65 :) think I caught up a little bit eh? ;)

why would anyone want to burden their computer more by running a Windowed QIII instead of just alt+tab'ing out? I can. I might have to hold the alt key for a second. then firmly press the tab key, but it works.

Alt-tabbing Quake III works fine for me, no lag either... wtf are you guys running on 16MB ram or something? :p

Since the topic has been brought up, anyone want to get together and play a little? I need some target practice. ;)

I'd love to play, but my Q3A isn't *cough* legal *cough*, so I don't have a 'valid' cd key... hehe. Oh well. I can play 'network games', but 'internet play' doesn't work...

If there's still any way to set up a game feel free to icq me, 5935798...
