I dunno what that error means but all you need is ioq3 & cpma 1.45 or ra3 1.76. Also the 3wave mappacks if you want to play ctf.
Not sure if slashquit hosts those files anymore, try:
http://ioquake3.org
http://www.promode.org
Here ya go:
Quick Q3 setup guide
SlashQuit.net Q3 files
Let us know how you go.
Well, I got the point release, and cpma 1.45, ra3 1.76 -- I've been able to join every server except the rocket arena one, which still gives me that error, but I think it might be related to how I downloaded it... I'll let you know how i go.
its the way you're connecting to the server.. your path isn't set correctly.
when trying to get into rocket arena, try this from start >run
c:\path\to\quake3\quake3.exe +set fs_game arena +connect gs4.slashquit.net:27990
if that works, come back and see me.
