Title: CD Key Problems Post by: Gnam on 2003-04-01, 04:33 I bought Q3, got a CD in a case with a cdkey, but I frequently get "mistyped cdkey" and "invalid cdkey" messages, especially on punk buster servers. Sometimes, I have no problems, but lately I can't play anywhere cause PB won't let me with an "invalid" key.
Also, from time to time I notice online player model body parts will get juggled, ie a guy with a Ranger model will get a Orb head, or a guy with a Minx model will get a Sarge head. Any idea WTF is up with that? Title: Re: CD Key Problems Post by: Lilazzkicker on 2003-04-01, 05:13 ok, first off, are you using ase, or something similar to connect to servers?
if so, stop doing it, and enter the ip manaully to connect, i had this issue also, but it states on the pb main site how to fix it http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=faq-q3.php (http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=faq-q3.php) Quote Why do I sometimes get messages saying "Invalid cdkey", "Mistyped cdkey?" and/or "Client Unknown to Auth"? These messages are not PB-related issues. They have to do with your cdkey and id Software's cdkey authorization server. Some players report that deleting the q3key file from the various folders where the game is installed will fix the problem after they re-enter their cdkey one more time. Others say that connecting to servers inside the game instead of using an external game browser such as GameSpy or All-Seeing-Eye will fix the problem. check hunkmegs for weird models Title: Re: CD Key Problems Post by: games keeper on 2003-04-01, 09:52 weird models are easy to get .
the guys just do that to have a more unique player model . if you type in /model doom/phobos /headmodel bones you will look like phobos but with bones his head . in team games its /team_model doom team_headmodel bones. coolest players till now are. model --------------------------------------------->head hunter --------------------------------------------- >mynx doom ---------------------------------------------->bones bones --------------------------------------------->any head any model exept orbb ------------------------->bones keel ----------------------------------------------->doom doom ---------------------------------------------->sarge lucy ------------------------------------------------->sarge crash ----------------------------------------------->mynx if ya wanna check this go stand for the mirror at q3dm0 (where you fight crash ) and type the commands in (dont forget to press Tab or otherwise your model doesnt change. hope this helped the model issue Title: Re: CD Key Problems Post by: Gnam on 2003-04-02, 00:05 If I delete the cdkey file won't it just ask me to retype it? do I leave it in one folder and delete it from another? How do I check hunkmegs/what do I look for?
If players are purposely mismatching heads then fine, but if it's a bug then that's not cool. I'll just assume it's by choice untill I have reason to beleive otherwise. Title: Re: CD Key Problems Post by: Lilazzkicker on 2003-04-02, 02:00 yeah, if you delete the cd key, but i suggest trying to connect through the pull down menu first before doing so, and hunk megs are pointed out in the manual
