Hi

This might sound stupid, but how do I start generations? I've looked through the manual and readme files, but I can't get it to work. Don't I have to run it from the start menu run command or something?

The problem with that is, my quake3.exe is in my program files folder, and when I try to run it through the start menu, putting in "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe +set game generations", it says "can't find c:\program"

So anyone know what I do to get it going?

Hi and wellcome to the forums.

I see two possible solutions to  run Generations.
First of all, I hope you have installed the mod corectly (all Gen  files are in  
a folder named "generations" which is placed in your Q3A folder).

1. go to Generations folder and run the file "genta.bat"
2. Launch vanilla Q3A and in the main screen go to "mods", select
     Generations and press "Load"

And that's it. It should work.

Looks like your path is wrong.

Also you can create your own batch file and include the following options: quake3.exe +set fs_game generations +set com_hunkmegs 128

if you get the 'can't find c:\program' error, you may wish to use quotation (") to fix that. Microsoft's idea to allow spaces in document & folder names was stupid, but we'll all have to live with it, since my plan for world domination is far from complete...

Don't forget to up the com_hunkmegs to 128, or 3/4 of your system ram, if you have less than 128. You can run into weird shit if you don't.

And DO NOT start gen from the mods menu, UNLESS you've changed the com_hunkmegs in your q3config.cfg file. It reverts the hunkmegs back to 56 if you do that.
