some reason my demos wont load. the files are in there, but it looks for a .dm_68 file.

is that normal?

What version of Quake 3 are you running and what demos are you trying to run?

There are different combinations and not all of them work.

1.32

i wanted to run the standard timedemo, demo001 that most sites run benchmarks on.

You can't. Version 1.27 and onwards of Quake 3 only runs demo four.

Also you'll find that most sites actually run demo four as well.

thanks for that info.

i just made a lil script for changing res's in q3 and wanna compare everything. it works cool. i just keep hitting the end key and it goes to the next res up. changes the refresh rates also.

set 640 "Exec 640; seta r_mode -1; seta r_customwidth 640; seta r_customheight 480; seta r_displayrefresh 160; vid_restart; echo 640x480@160hz; bind end vstr 800"
set 800 "Exec 800; seta r_mode -1; seta r_customwidth 800; seta r_customheight 600; seta r_displayrefresh 160; vid_restart; echo 800x600@160hz; bind end vstr 1024"
set 1024 "Exec 1024; seta r_mode -1; seta r_customwidth 1024; seta r_customheight 768; seta r_displayrefresh 120; vid_restart; echo 1024x768@120hz; bind end vstr 1289"
set 1289 "Exec 1289; seta r_mode -1; seta r_customwidth 1280; seta r_customheight 960; seta r_displayrefresh 100; vid_restart; echo 1280x960@100hz; bind end vstr 1280"
