Q3 problem

[old.Ford Scrote]

Three times the game has partially reset itself. That is to say when i go back into the game it has forgotten what level i was up to and reverted back to Tier 2 and shows me having completed the first map.

The first time this happened I had completed the whole bloody thing and the other two times I was up to Tier 5.

2 occasions this could perhaps be explained by the fact i upgraded versions and changed some dll files - but the third time is totally inexplicable cos i didn't change anything!

Does anyone have any suggestions?
i know i can play whatever players i want on the multiplayer game but it ain't the same.

Thanks

Cant help you im afraid but can add sth to what you have said. There definately seems to be a problem with the config file forgetting/altering certain settings. I have manually had to edit out spurious settings from the config file myself where it had set up multiple actions to the same keys/mouse buttons, and to this day the game refuses to remember the player model I set and stubbonly resets it to Grunt everytime i start the game... most annoying

Right make a copy of your config and call it say quake3config.cfg

If at anytime q3 screws up type:

/exec quake3config.cfg and all your settings will come back

Also if you lose all your tier info check out:
www.barrysworld.com/guides/quake3/patching_configs.shtm

This will show you how to unlock the tiers. You won't have to do them again

*looking sheepish* err well ive solved the problem of the model resetting which actually had nothing at all to do with the quake config file and a whole lot more to do with the latest gamespy!! I hadnt realised that the new gamespy has an option to set your in game character in Quake 3 that is by default set to Grunt, hence any time I played multiplayer and ran it from Gamespy my model was being set back to Grunt! just changed the model in Gamespy and no more probs
