Hi.

I can't get the e+ mod to work at all on my system. I´ve downloaded the zip file and extracted the contents into my q3a folder, as instructed in the read me file. File layout: q3a folder/excessiveplus/pak0.pk3

I load the e+ using the modifications meny, so far so good. But when I try to connect to a server or play a singleplayer game, the application just freeze and quit with no error declaration.

System: Mac os X 10.4.6
Q3A: 1.3.2 altivec g4 test 2

Hints or clues to help me get the e+ mod working is greatly appreciated.

Yes, thats the one Happy

Another intresting thing: If the pak3.pk3 file is removed from the excessiveplus folder, the game sometimes starts (After loading the map about 5 times.) You can play untill the fraglimit is reached, then the server throws you out because the versions donsn't add up. This only works on multiplayer, the singleplayer game still freezes when the map is starting to load.

I finally found my problem:
It´s the G4 altivec test 2 version of Q3A 1.3.2 that fuckes it up. When I installed the regular 1.3.2, the e+ mod runs just fine Happy

Cheers /Trollet.

To my understanding, There is two different 1.3.2 versions, one optimized for the g4 processor and one "universal" binary. (Get them here: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/mac/ ) The G4 application didn't execute the e+ mod properly for me, perhaps it´s the same for you?

The Quake Engine cant play without all pak0-pak7.
so pak3.pk3 is surelly needed as a must be for your system.

About Mac-Os not playing it it will be some hardware problem I think. Such as not installed drivers etc.

(I think)*

Btw, why do everybody preffer Mac-Os and different systems to windows?
