Hi gamers Just wondering how do you set-up Quake 3 to play over the net. Some help would be great, it would be interesting to learn how to do it. Also where do you go (URL) to play Quake 3. Many thanks Newby Toot

There are several settings inside Quake that you can tweak to make network play faster. All of these settings are changed in the console, which you access using the tilda key. /rate - the default setting is something like 2000, which is acceptable for dialup but way too slow for broadband play. Set rate to around 25000. /snaps - set to 25 or 30 /cl_maxpackets - set to around 100 I highly recommend the threewave mod. I think you'll like it a lot more than regular quake.

I took my net settings from there - as well as some tips on play. The multiplayer option in Q3 searches for games automatically - but there are progs out there (All Seeing Eye - Q-Tracker - Gamespy) that will do similar. Good luck! -- M Blessed are the geek, for they shall inherit the Earth.
