Quake III Arena PR Converter v2.0
What is this?
- This little thing interconvertes the point release version between any one of 1.16 , 1.27g , 1.30 ,1.32.
It can dynamically change Point Release (PR) version of Quake III Arena.
The aim is to allow gamers to play online on servers running multiple protocols of Quake3. For example if one client has PR 1.30 it can connect to server running 1.30 only & can never join a server running the latest 1.32 PR
This utility aims to resolve the issue.
Why ?
- ever tried to play on a server & got the error " this server uses protocol 43 "
What these "protocol" errors mean?
- Different quake point releases uses different protocols to connect to servers . If a point release ver 1.16 client tries to connect to a server patched to ver 1.32 ( the latest) it usually gets the error protocol 68.
The PR & the protocols they use are -
1.16 is Protocol 43
1.27 is Protocol 48
1.30 is Protocol 66
1.31 is Protocol 67
1.32 is Protocol 68
How to install this tool ?
- 1> first download point release 1.32 & apply that
You need to have PR 1.32 otherwise there may be some errors
I am not sure but your game might stop working.
- 2> backup the quake3.exe
- 3> now unrar these files to quake3 arena install dir
- 4> make a shortcut to desktop for quake3.exe
To play & dynamically change ver - run the required batch file
For e.g.,
Run 116.bat to play on a protocol 43 servers
In ZigZag server (protocol 66) use 130.bat
You can check whether the version is really changed as follows: -
Press ~ to bring down console. Look at the bottom right corner of the console. The PR no should be there.
