Locate your Quake3 program folder, then inside the "excessiveplus" subfolder there is a file called "q3config.cfg". Open that file in a text editor of your choice and search for

[code:1]seta name[/code:1]

Place your name in the quotation marks as following:

[code:1]seta name "[your name goes here]"[/code:1]

Another good way to do this.... is if you have multiple names, ex: maaa, and maaam, you can create a .txt file inside of the excessive plus folder, and inside type name "filename.txt" go into quake or excessive, and bind any key to exec filename.txt, and make multiple ones.... different binds to different keys...

btw... you get what im saying right? Thinking: ? Thinking:

You must have screwed up something in your config, move it (the config file) to another folder/delete it, start quake, quit, quake should make a fresh config, put your colored name in the new config. If you still get the error, try reinstalling the game. If that won't help i don't know what's happening.

Yes yes I only changed the seta name... And I have the same problem when I create a config just for the name. When I execute it --> error Cvar_update... Thinking

yes, I agree, but I reinstalled the game a lot of times (maybe 8 times Thinking)

I will try that, madbringer.

Thanks for your help guys, I will tell you if that works after!

mhh :-k sure that u deinstall quake and delete whole folder where it was in ? cause when u load some pk3's from server quake doesnt deinstall them u must delete them urself and when u dont do and install quake in the folder again the pk3's are still there and destroy game, just deinstall whole folder or install quake in a new folder then it should run,

otherwise load the new Quake poinrelease and install that (u must copy the pk3 files from ur quake into it cause its only the source)

and when that doesnt work pm me i will sent u my pk3's Winking
