Same here for UT2004. Please vote for us guys who are interested.

What do ya think about css guys.

I have css/cscz, ut 2k3 and Quake 3 arena. I don't have UT 2k4 though. So anybody starting a server plz inform this post so that we have many humans to play against.

How much spee does Quake 3 MP require????

Bcoz i have a dial up connection.

BTW, i m interested to play .

Q3 can run on 56k no problem. I used to when i had dial up. The only thing that can affect is the distance between our houses, probably. But, we won't know for sure before we try.

so when u guys are starting the game and which one , plz tell me

Donno when will they start.

BTW, does version matter?????


Do all require the same version ?????

i would also like to join u people .. i can get quake 3 arena .. somebody please tell me how to configure to play multiplayer .. i have never done it before n ya is it okay to play on a dataone 256kbps connection ? how much data transfer will take place in an hour or so ?

Let me see. I will setup a Q3 server right now (12:50 AM) at:
IP: 125.22.68.44
port: 27960
Server name will be thinkdigit.

I'll be waiting for about half an hour and if no one shows up, we'll see tommorrow.

Maybe it's a bit late since nobody came. Let me try tommorrow.

Hey, sorry I didn't see this thread running about Quake Multiplayer! Of course I can come online if you guyz want to and when to... We can have fun!

Edit: Again sorry, as I posted above about UT 2K4, so I will be with Q3 as everybody says...

Count me in too as long as you guys let me know beforehand and the difference in time zones doesn't create a problem

Might have issues with lag due to the geographical separation

someone plz clear my doubts ^^^

For hosting a multiplayer, here's a small tutorial:
-Go to command prompt and type "ipconfig". Note your public IP address.
-Start quake3 arena
-Start a singleplayer game. Press the "~' key and type "net_port". Note this value too. By default it is always 27960.
-Come out of quake and report in this thread the time, IP and port.
-Start quake 3, again.
-Click on Multiplayer
-Choose the "Internet" as source
-Click the "create" button
-Choose the game type, map and number of players.
-Check "Pure server" to make sure everyone is playing with the same mod as the server.
-Uncheck "dedicated server" if u are also planning on playing. Otherwise, if you want to only host, then check it.


For joining a hosted game,
-Write down the IP address amd port of the computer hosting the game.
-Start quake 3
-Go to options->player ans select your character and player name.
-Click on multiplayer
-Select the Internet source and click on the "Specify" button.
-Enter the details and start.


@Mohit, yes you can play on 256k. I have played on a 56k and Q3 is supposed to work even on 33.6k, so, no problem. As for the amount of data sent/received, I don't know. You might be able to reduce the amount of data sent by choosing your connection type in the Options->Network menu option as 56k. But I am not really sure.

Guys when i try to enter any level in multi player mode. I enter successfully but then it says connection interupted after every 2-3 seconds. My game cuts in between. I m using reliance phone and i connect it thru data cable Websites open fine but game is not running properly.

Alright, the time here at my place is around 8:53 PM. If anyone's starting the server or wanna join, start telling your optimum time to start.

ok can i join in ????

Bcoz the guy says that the game interrupts every 2-3 sec???

I have a sucking 28.8 KBps Modem.

Plz tell me. i m eager to play.

28.8kbps is not really enough to play Q3 as the game says a minimum of a 33.6kbps.

OK, today I am starting a server a little early. IP is 59.144.16.167:27960
I won't be online for long, say one hour, so make haste. The latency is gonna be pretty high with we being from all over the country. Also, I've never hosted a Q3 game before (with humans in it), so do bear with me.

Seems like no one's around when I'm around. Msg/pm/post if a few f you guys are around then.

@q3abhi,
about 28.8kbps modems, it seems that you can play quite happily on one.

Thanks for this.

But i wanna know does version matter ??

Bcoz i have 1.27 version installed.

Whenever i search for servers it doesnt show up any.

Moreover when i entered the IP address specified by Sirius, it goes back to the main Menu.

am not sure if version matters. I think it does not.

If it doesn't show any server, then it's probably set to "LAN" instead of Internet or maybe it's taking a bit longer to retrieve the list from the id master servers.

A lot of ppl asked but no one else wanted to come online? How about today at 11:00 PM? Anyone?

Edit:
For anyone that's interested, Server at 10:00 PM at 59.144.19.44, port27960

How much data transfer does an hour or so of online gaming consume. I really need to know this as i (like many people) have the dataone 256kbps connection which has a monthly limit of 400MB. I have a feeling that it consumes huge amount of download. I once played the NFSMW demo for 10-15 minutes and it consumed 45MB of Data.
This is an important issue. So someone, please help!

Quake requires 4-5 Kb data to be send n receive per second.

It will take around 18-20 MB an hour.

@sirius ,add me to ur messenger list and inform me when u start ur server my yahoo id is tarey_g@yahoo.com(i think every one will have to add each other messenger or otherwise it will not be possible to play any game , forum cant do instant messenging) , i'll keep q3 installed on my comp

Yea, you're right. The forum is not good for instant notification. My id is igniitkid@yahoo.co.uk
