ok i'd like to start off saying that the i am only trying to figure this out for trial purposes... also so my friends can play w/ me on my DC from my pc if they are over...

i'm not trying to dick around on the DC servers with my PC


ok with that said i have a problem when i downgrade my PC copy of q3a to 1.16n... my cd copy of q3a is 1.30

when i downgrade and install the dc maps i can host a dedicated server fine (loads all maps, connect etc.)... but my problem is that when i try to host a listen server (from within the game itself) it asks for my q3 cd (a minor problem)... so i put in my cd and i can load some of the dc maps... but not all of them (my major problem)

i can load dc_map02 and connect w/ my DC all good... but when i try to load my fav map dc_map19, my pcq3a just crashes...

wats up?

Download the ofx quake 3 version switcher to switch between all the different point releases

Before you can use this application , you need to download the latest patch wich is the pr 1.32 . You also need a cd key . If you don't plan to play on 1.32 servers use a shared one .

As for the map problems , i dunno sometimes i had problems loading sc_map19 and the sever crashed . But only if i started the server with this map , and not if it allready runned . I suggest bto redownload the maps


xdc_ss dc mappack

Please leave a rating for the file

Also to prevent any problems while hosting a game run the server in dedicated mode and not as a listen server .Eats more ram and you have no real admin functions so start it in dedi mode

This are my 3 cents @ 4 am ... i gotta sleep :]
