We've upgraded the Quake3 CTF server to the 1.27g release; the Duel server will probably get done later today.

Unfortunately OSP currently isn't working for us under Linux with 1.27g; and RA3 doesn't have a 1.27g Linux release yet, so we're running the stock game for now.

There's a few things you'll probably want to know about 1.27; firstly, a server-side cvar can enable the '125hz' client sampling. Secondly, the 50ms delay on firing has been removed - rails are closer to instantaneous now on a good ping. Finally, the much discussed 'floor bug/feature' has been removed.

You can check it out at games01.qgl.org:27970 - I'll probably jump on tonight for a while.

Finally, I know a lot of people wont want to upgrade to 1.27 as there's very few servers online running it yet (for a variety of reasons). So here's a quick rundown on how to use both.

Run the 1.27g point release executable, but extract it to a new directory. There are three files that you need to take from the 1.27 release and place in your Quake3 directory:
- quake3.exe (put it in your Quake3 dir as Quake3-127.exe or something)
- baseq3pak4.pk3 (put in regular Quake3aseq3)
- baseq3pak5.pk3 (put in regular Quake3aseq3)

Run quake3-127.exe (which should now be in your regular Quake3 directory) and you should be able to connect to the AusGamers CTF server.

When you want to go back to 1.17; simply remove the pak4.pk3 and pak5.pk3 from your baseq3 directory.

The clueier users out there will probably realise this could be handled neatly with a batch file.

In the interest of starting a big flame war, removing the floor bug/feature is gay and way too late to be doing now. Please spam away and lag this server bitches.

all the bitching happened when 1.25 was released, they didnt change it back then they arent gonna change it back now.

ra3 has left it in.

deal.

OSP also has an option for it

ok then, theres options for it, so do we want it on or not ;)

Without it a lot of maps will turn into rail wars. The threat of rockets through the floors stopped a lot of rail camping.

And in ctf it will increase the chance of the flagger getting away.

I definately dont like it.

its pretty simple, we have thrufloors 1 on


problems fixed

im sure theres at least 1 faget who wants thrufloors 0

well isnt he a faget
