In the setup server menu, could you allow a "Bot selection" screen like in Skirmrish in vanilla Q3A? IT would most defeniently save alot of trouble of putting in addbot in the console.

And if possible, maybe allow a dmflags menu as well, as i'm very unfamiliar with the dmflags for Quake 3.  Slipgate - Shifty

These are just suggestions but it owuld be nice if they were implemented. Slipgate - Laugh

Kinda like how the dmflags were arranged in Quake2? Actually... that's not a bad idea. It'd be nice for the genflags to be arranged in the same fashion if this idea gets approved.

I wouldn't expect anyone to act on this for a while though - 99e needs to get done before qcon =]

That "bot selection" is a nice idea. I think that would make things easier. Something like vanilla q3 bot selection but with an option that we could choose the bots class.

Yeah, as I can't remember all the bot names and who they are heh.

One other thing that isn't important but would be useful: Display your weapons icons at all times, since the calsses use different weapons and different keys. Like for example, i'm used to the Doom weapons, and then I use the Human class, I think the Dual Gatlings are 5, but they are 6. Just thinkin...

Also, could someone fix the Human Knife and the Axe (forgot class...think it's slipgate) attack? When i hit the attack button the weaopn doesn't move but if I do it in front of a mirror my char moves. Slipgate - Distraught;

The lack of swinging is a weapons animation thing, which will be integrated with Gen v1.0

Ah ok. Slipgate - Smile


I found a new launcher, Q3Offline, and it lets me launch Q3 (With no level lag!!! Thumbs up! )  with able to choose bots and options and stuff, so until (or if) you implement the suggestions, i'll be kept happy. Slipgate - Smile


Thanks for your help all.

The Q3offline is a WYSIWYG program that sets up a localhost single player game with any mod, and it allows you not only to set DMflags, but to choose random bots, specific bots, frag limit, seconds before weapons respawn, how many times the qaud damage multiplies damage, map selector with pics for preview of level, hundreds of options with varibles and even custom configs if you wanna keep configs seperate.

yes, but does it preserve the com_hunkmegs setting? Or do you get weird errors with it?

Launchers + GenArena = bad

I use the All-Seeing Eye (ASE) without problems... most of the time.

Some good suggestions here.  We do need to make some serious changes to the menu system, but unfortunately those are usually last to go in due to the fact that you have to have code in place first for a menu to do anything at all.  Most of what's been suggested, like bot slots and dmflags menus, are on the list of things that need to be done but unfortunately we won't have time to get it in before the next release.

And yes, ASE is great. Thumbs up!

ASE is good for browsing online servers (which I rarely do anyway seeing as i have a 56k) But Q3Offline is the best for me with one player matches heh. Slipgate - Wink
