Title: Anyone want to play?
Post by: Dr Sean on 2007-07-03, 23:44
Hey, does anyone want to play generations? It seems like no one is ever online.. actualy i've never seen anyone online, i just play lan a lot, but that kind of gets old.
So, anyone?

Why do i start two topics? Should i just make sure i click post once?
Thanks for deleting the other one, i'll pay more attention next time.

There are games going each saturday 9PM CET if your european or 9PM EST for americans.
But yeah gen do lack online players since its mostly a LAN game.
We need to pimp gen more but that wont happend until the next version of Generations Arena which will really blow everyone away trust me, compared to the current released version it's like a new game! :)

Ok, thanks.
Oh, yesterday, me and my cousin were playing on the central server, and someone tried to join like five times, and every time it gave an unpure client and invalid pk3 error. Does that mean my game is messed up or theirs?

The problem is on their end.

It means that they either have an old or corrupted version of our mod, or they don't have Generations Arena at all (and just try to connect with Q3A anyway).

Usually if they lack Generations they'll get a "mismatch" error baseq3/generations.  I'd say they have a modified pk3 file, either the wrong version of Generations or they changed a needed file in baseq3.  Sometimes people make changes to pak0.pk3 to add a custom model or crosshair or something and don't take into consideration that you can't play on a pure server with a modified pak0.  If everything else they have in their generations folder is correct that would be my guess.

Yeah Pho is right

i had the same problem myself, and it was because i had modied my Pak0.pak

i would try to install a fresh copy, patch to 1.32b or c

then just copy the gen folder over

that works most of the time

Wanted to bump this.  This is seriously one MOD that SHOULDN'T have empty servers most of the time.  Yet, whenever I check, its always empty and I usually don't have the time to sit in a server for 20+ minutes waiting for someone to join.

I know that things will boom once 1.0 is released.  No doubt even new fans of the MOD will come through, check it out, like it (as they inevitably will), and join a server with the rest of us.  I definitly think servers will be filled with at least 4 or 5 players once we see the glorious new version.

But in the mean time, we should bring Player Vs. Player back!  I'm sure we are all sick of bots at this point.  It'd be so much more satisfying to blast the crap out of a PLAYER with my Doom 2 Combat Shotgun  :doom_thumb:

Anyone wants to challenge the bird I'm usually up for a game, so long as I'm conscious, feeling well, and not about to go to sleep.  I'll be available until around 5 pm eastern today, and I'll play on Central or Euro, your pick!  Shoot me a PM with when you can play and I'll join ya.  :ninja:

Also, if you're sporting for a game, be sure to drop by in the #wirehead IRC channel -- chances are you'll be able to invite a few fraghappy lurkers for a few rounds. That would include me, if I'm around.. :]
