Yakumo`s Quake III GuidePage IVPlaying TipsJust some quick ones, play lots, play better people than yourself, and spectate better players a lot too and you'll learn, don't be afraid to ask questions, but try not to get too put off or upset or anything if they don't answer, some players just wont, some have had bad days maybe and they don't feel like it, some are just busy, and some are just plain not very nice people.No-one can change weapons faster than anyone else, but do bear in mind that you can put the command in to change weapons at any time after you've fired one, and it will change to the new one as soon as that weapons reload cycle is complete. If you have a lot of experience you tend to have a good idea of what weapons you want to start off a fight with, and what you want to change to as soon as you've hit the first time, or first few times, so you already have a head start, this was especially important in the slower, more tactical quake2. Many mod's aren't just about good aim, it's about knowing where to go, where to look for people, when to get into or back out of fights, how to prioritize your targets, run the map for powerups, there is a LOT going on, experience counts for an awful lot. If you ever see someone doing something you don't understand, it seems to fast, or they jump too far etc, don't jump out and call them a cheat as I've had when seen doing the rl to rg dm6 jump, try asking politely how it's done, or if they wont explain it come ask some of the admins in #byq3 though my hope is after reading this guide you should be able to figure out how everything is done even if you can't quite manage it yourself yet =) PunkbusterPunkbuster is an anti-cheat system that scans your system and config files for known cheats, or for settings that the host of the server you're playing on has told his PB server to ban. PB is regularly updated by evenballance, it's creators, to keep cheaters at bay. Anyone playing q3 these days needs to have punkbuster enabled, this can be done in the menu, having seta cl_punkbuster 1 in your cfg, or typing \pb_cl_enable in the console.Updating the pb system files : If you connect to a Quake 3 server, play for a bit, and get kicked back to spectator mode as soon as you die, it is because your punkbuster client needs to be updated. in order to do this, you can either sit and wait for a while, it will happen automatically, or you can go to http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-q3a.php and download pbweb.exe to your quake3/pb folder, then run that program to force a manual update, this can take several minutes however, especially if it is the first time you have run the updater. If even THAT doesn't work properly, you can this in the q3 console \pb_sv_enable \pb_sv_update wait for a while for it to update, then : \pb_sv_disable Configuring : Punkbuster has problems on some peoples systems that can cause bad lag while playing, if your game seems to be very skippy, you may want to try \disconnect \pb_system this will tell you what pb_system is currently set to then \pb_system 1 or \pb_system 0 to change it to it's alternative state. \reconnect (to get you back into your game) pb_system modifies how punkbuster scans your system for cheats, you can't guess as to which setting will be best for you, just try them out, PB saves the setting for you, you don't have to change it again after restarting quake unless your punkbuster client folder is removed/damaged for any reason (after reinstalling q3 for example). The place to go for punkbuster feedback is http://www.punksbusted.com where evenbalance employees read and reply to the forums sometimes. UtilsEver wanted to check out another program / get back to the desktop quickly without having to alt-enter so all the map and texture data gets loaded again? 4t tray minimizer is a fantastic little tool that lets you settup shortcut keys to minimize apps to the systray, letting you switch from q3 (or any other game) to the desktop and back practically instantaneously. after trying a similar app (that didn't work with many of my games) i'd suggest ctrl+shift+end as a nice shortcut your not likely to hit accidentaly, and wont interfeer with your game, not if your a wasd player anyway. I'd also disable all the titlebar stuff so it doesn't waste resources or mess with other programs tbh, and also disable the two 'hide by...' options in options - hiding, or you could find yourself with dissapearing windows not realising where they've gone :)The End
