Quake4

[*NastyJeff*]

For the first time ever, I played Q4 online last night.
I met two nice guys on our server (Hots Server..) and they were totally unaware of our clan.
I have NO IDEA how to do the console in Q4, seems to be no *tilde* key option.
The server was setup for Duel which was a total bummer...only 2 people could play at a time. Do not know if that was setup by a callvote..I have no idea how to do that with Q4.
I think we NEED to explore Q4 more. Players out there...nice folks....and us old Q3 players who have no idea..( as a Founder I felt like an ass....)
This thread is to help dumbasses like myself. I want to keep it alive, and I know Hots does.....so help a dude out.
Please give advice on how it works, I am clueless....
FRAG ON!

Hey Jeff

The console is well layed out and you can change just about anything you want. You will need an autoexec.cfg setup and put it in your q4base dir. You can change game type easy by highlighting the gametype and choosing which one you want instagib, rail only, no jumps or kickback though but a decent rate of fire, is IFFA. A full breakdown of all the gametypes and rcon commands are at www.q4max.com. There are some great players playing q4 and klutz will like them as they understand etiquette well. Thats why I disabled PB as it was kicking most people. What we need to do to raise the Nasty profile is have a consistant presence on the server at least once a week. I will be playing on Friday night if anyone fancies a look at what is under estimated and potentially great fun.

So confused...feels like 1999 all over again.....

Its a bit different from the Q3 setup.

To enable the console create a shortcut that appends +seta com_allowConsole g1 to Quake 4 and press e (UK key below ESC) or CTRL+ ALT+ ~ (US Keyboards) or CTRL+ALT+ e (UK Keyboards)

Quake4.exe +seta com_allowConsole g1

or use the following to skip intro animations / movies and enable the console

Quake4.exe +seta com_allowConsole g1 +disconnect

I access console via escape key and my player an games settings have been done via the console. So I havent worried too much about learning the new scripts. There are some pretty good forums out there for q4 including PQ and q4max.com also

I am just learning myself on this but the players understand and it does them good to have some fragbait for a while...hehhe

Hiya Mark

im Happy to say i was able to connect to the server today.
YAY!!

hope to connect with you soon

[*Nastyhotshots*]

great I will try tonight for a few games

I have sent in a ticket to change the mod. I have found qmax too advanced and competitive. Also, I was only getting fps of 20 or less when players joined, made it too hard to move. The mod I have asked to be installed in called disintegration and it was made by an old fnff player I used to play often with called Teal'c. The mod is basically an insta mod with same features as unlagged, knockback, railjump etc. It should be easier for us to use and hopefully get some fun from. Should be installed sometime today. Link for the mod is

planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Quake4.Detail&id=139


client install; extract to quake4 dir not q4base. Works a treat have just tried server out now. Will spend sometime tweaking settings but this should be better.


hope this will be better for all.

Once I have sorted out a good autoexec I will post it here.

Hi All

I have set up a download page for a few things needed to get on to our servers including hots Q4 server.

Take a look and tell me if you want any more put on there.

www.jobber.clanservers.com/downloads.html

See you all soon

JoBb3r/ Kieron

If any body would like to help or give some input to this site just PM me or give me an E-Mail with your thoughts.

Thanks Cu soon

[*NastyJeff*]

The site is looking good Jobber!

[*Nastyhotshots*]

Damm wish I was as good as you Kieron, thats a good piece of work well done.

What would be a good idea would be to link the web page to the clans home page so its easy for everyone to access including those who dont log on maybe under the maplogo banner.

I have been working on tweaking my q4 autoexec now for a while and this is how its looking so far just incase anyone wants a head start with setting up the cfg.

This server has now finished, it was not popular, shame as it was a good game.

Quake Wars server hopefully will be used more, seems to be doing ok so far. TC
