 Which download? The individual one, tailored to PKA, or from the whole flumaps pack? |

The individual one.
the one in the pack is smaller. its basically the same but with about 1/3 of the map missing.
I tend to play open, urban maps a lot. it makes me less 'travel sick' if I play for too long. must be because theres less corners and turning.

I think I have found a glitch or something in 99e. But maybe it was always there...
My next weapon key is E. if I press it and hold it down, the weapons cycle as mega speed. if you then press the fire button, you get the most amazing effect. you rotate between weapons and fire each in turn, kind of.

the new package is extremely nice - one of the duel maps, don't recall the name atm, just brings back perfectly the feel of good ol' q2, while, for instance, the dark zone is a superb remake of the original one. the physics feel great also .. so just some minor issues: having another sng as a slipgater on the q3dm6 rail ledge is awful... up there happens to be one of the most powerful weapons of that map, so this would have to change... the other one will fall back on me & my incapabilities to understand the manual correctly, I suppose - as much fun as the game is, I couldn't figure out how to get player models which are visible even in the dark zone in ffa & 1on1(while playing bots, I might add..) - with or without forcing enemymodels. the model-commands didn't change anything at all, if I'm not mistaken (*lol*, I am, I know, but I just don't know where & why) ... this takes away some of the fun of playing ga... other than that it's besides cpma & osp the best mod for q3a by far...

having another sng as a slipgater on the q3dm6 rail ledge is awful... Weapons replace by item type. Every Slipgate weapon is still a Q3 item spawn, but they convert by weapon number to the old Quake weapons upon pickup. All railguns in Generations give Slipgaters a Super Nailgun. The reasoning for this is twofold. One, Slipgaters have no long-range instant hit weapon. Second, no other weapon is a good replacement. Adding another rocket launcher would be insane. We tried that earlier on, and it gives Slipgate three high-explosive weapons pickups (Rocket launcher, Grenade launcher, and Railgun) that he can draw ammo from any of those three ammo types. Shaft is also far too powerful and is a short-range weapon so the conversion makes no sense. It would also give Slipgate 3 lightning gun pickups (Lightning gun, BFG, and Railgun) as opposed to the two that already exist. The SNG was the logical choice since nails are scarce as it is and the other two choices would seriously overbalance the game in Slipgate's favor.as much fun as the game is, I couldn't figure out how to get player models which are visible even in the dark zone in ffa & 1on1(while playing bots, I might add..) - with or without forcing enemymodels. the model-commands didn't change anything at all, if I'm not mistaken I'm not sure what you're asking here. Are you wanting to select a different player model for yourself but having difficulty doing so? |

thx for the quick reply. I can see the problem there and I think I'll just learn how to get a frag with those nails ... =) "I'm not sure what you're asking here. Are you wanting to select a different player model for yourself but having difficulty doing so? " ...because of my crappy english, that is... what I wanted to say is that I didn't yet figure out how to get a clearly visible crispy enemymodel, no matter what I did. such as the enemy-models in cpma or osp... as for bug reporting: whenever I start a listen server in 1o1 or tdm from the in-game menu I always start with either "the forlorn hope" (1o1) or "iron yard" (tdm) - no matter which map I chose ... but this doesn't bug me seriously, just for the record. I hope I'll be able to test your mod on lan anytime soon, so you don't have to cope with bot-player's complaints anymore ...=) |

We don't support bright skins the way CPM does, if that's what you want.
Also, any time you start a server, a certain map rotation is put into effect. If you look in your generations directory, you should see files such as "gen_ctf.cfg" and "gen_tourney.cfg". Those are the map rotations. You may edit those if you wish.

it wouldn't take brightskins - even though for a deathmatch-game they are extremely useful - but the standard models are sometimes very hard to see, which I think is unnecessary ... so something inbeetween maybe would do...

There's also cg_playerColorLevel Setting that to 192 will make Ranger's custom shirt and pants color readily visible.  Although, I can't remember if that's set to 192 by default for 99e. |

I am sorry for the late post, I had been too busy playing DOOM3 and mapping to notice there had been an upgrade, and I guess you could call it an upgrade, but it surely feels like a brand new game, and a real good one at that, it exceeded any expectations I had for this mod. Tremendous work, responsive weapons and awsome animation on the powerups. I have been playing it with the bots and have no complaints or even suggestions, it blew me away. Nice work.

That's not a bug. Q1 had instant weapon switching. And that trick is cool, but not even remotely useful. And the guy who made the Fragtown map is FluSyndrome. He's back in action, with a new hangar map (see Laced Neptune). |

It would be nice to have a class_teamheadmodel command. For the sake of being unique, I use custom headmodels for all my classes, and would like the retain the head configurations in team games.
Also, it would be nice if you could pick between different colored skins for each team. i.e. since there's various blue colors for strogg and doom (like light blue, medium blue, dark blue), it would be nice if you could choose between them to stand out from your team mates instead of being stuck with the same generic skin as everyone else.
Also, for the last time, what the hell is up with Leemon's strogg skins? :p

It would be nice to have a class_teamheadmodel command. For the sake of being unique, I use custom headmodels for all my classes, and would like the retain the head configurations in team games. Headmodels were primarily a "feature" that resulted from Team Arena's model scheme and caused some unhappy complexity in the Q3 model parsing code. I'm not too keen on tinkering with complex areas if they work fine unless it's really necessary. You can use the team_headmodel command to set your headmodel manually from within your class.cfg files, but I have no further plans for this area of the code outside of bug fixes until the new player animation stances are written in.Also, it would be nice if you could pick between different colored skins for each team. i.e. since there's various blue colors for strogg and doom (like light blue, medium blue, dark blue), it would be nice if you could choose between them to stand out from your team mates instead of being stuck with the same generic skin as everyone else. Unfortunately the code only recognizes one skin per team. Again, this is an extremely touchy area of the code since it involves precaching and forcing of specific skins. I don't see this as happening since debugging it would be a nightmare. It works right now, and I do NOT want to screw it up.Also, for the last time, what the hell is up with Leemon's strogg skins? The last time I inquired he still hasn't finished them. |

there's a team headmodel command? That's what I was looking for but it wasn't in the manual so I thought it didn't exist.

Hi everyone I got this mod yesterday and have so far played it online for a total of roughly five hours, its very good with some maps looking even better than 3w/ra maps. I was impressed with the slipgate class as it seems very accurate even having little touches I noticed were missing from the mod classic quake arena.
I have two gripes though. For some reason I can't start my own server and get this error message: Hunk_Alloc failed on 436896
Also I have noticed most euro servers are always empty and usa ones are usually busy. I have so far only played in usa ones but as I am in uk I get pings of 150ish. Just ask Lena/Shambler/Crioknight lol.
