There is indeed already a timer script out there that works through manual input, will make sure you'll find it here somewhere any time soon, I think its actually the same timer as Cicatrix made back in the day indeed. Either way, be patient, practice and have fun! xephyr on "Remember the newbies" http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/remember-the-newbies#post-900 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:02:12 +0000 xephyr 900@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ Hi, I have answered your questions to my best knowledge in italic. 1.1 Servers So QL is a browser game which looks almost -imo- identical to Q3. Is it possible to play on a server where ppl play using their Q3 client and others the QL browser version? Or are it indeed 2 different stand-alone games? QL and Q3 look very much the same but they are two different games. It is therefor not possible to join a QL server with a Q3 account and vice versa. 1.2 Servers What are the most popular servers? In my q2 days you had e.g. telenet/fragland/jolt server. Can I find a list somewhere with the ip adresses or do I need some program for that e.g. gamespy, all seeing eye,... If I'm not mistaken I believe Q3 had an implemented server list. When you log in to the QL website, you will find a list of all servers. It will even put the best servers for you (based on your skill and gamemod preference)at the top. 2. Configs/locs/timers I've read the guides on making configs so that I'll find out myself. However, I know there were loc files and timers in q3, as well as in q2. (Thank you Cx) Is this still applicable and do these work in QL? If so, where can people get these files? I haven't found timers yet. Would be great to have them, indeed <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> 3. CTF/TDM/Insta/RA3 Is there an order of popularity? I used to play TDM and afterwards RailOnly. From what I've read CTF is the way to go. Are there specific configs/binds etc for each type of mod? At the moment most people are playing on public servers. CA is one of the most popular public gametypes, I guess <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Once private servers will become available, the competition mods will become popular as well ... I hope. 4. mIRC I'm currently sometimes residing in #qlpickup.eu Are there any other (belgian) irc chans where a lot of ppl of the scene are united? You might find our <a href="http://www.holysh1t.net/quake-live-irc/">Quake Live at IRC page</a> intersting. Have a look <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";)" class="bb_smilies" /> 5. naabs! What are the best ways to improve for beginners? Are there servers/clans more oriented on beginners. At the moment I'm mostly playing offline matches and just run through maps to get some 'map knowledge'. Yesterday I've played some matches on an Instagib server so I wouldn't be slaughtered immediately. I ended mostly with rail acc. +/- 25% and was able to sometimes finish in top 3. (yes, there were more than 3 players, thank you ) well, like Fatal1ty said: "practice, practice, practice!" <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> NitrodusT on "Remember the newbies" http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/remember-the-newbies#post-898 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:29:31 +0000 NitrodusT 898@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ Hi all, I'm not sure this is allowed but I wanted to ask some questions about QL. I want to do this in an orderly fashion and not go all mental like most newbies do and post a random collection of questions at once. First of all, I've checked the FAQ so I won't bother you with questions about how I get l33t colors in my nick. Maybe the people who are so kind to reply can copy the question and paste it along with their answer. Just to keep the overview and keep it useful for others as well. Main problem: I'm new in this scene and I'm not connected (cfr. friends, clans, switched from other game) Bit more info: I'm from belgium and I've played q2 for years. My old clans and friends are all gone and I never made the swith to q3. I don't have anyone to ask for some tips/advice so I wanna try my luck here. 1.1 Servers So QL is a browser game which looks almost -imo- identical to Q3. Is it possible to play on a server where ppl play using their Q3 client and others the QL browser version? Or are it indeed 2 different stand-alone games? 1.2 Servers What are the most popular servers? In my q2 days you had e.g. telenet/fragland/jolt server.

I hope I get some positive answers on this matter. If you made it till here, thanks for your time. PS: NitrodusT is my QL name so feel free to add me if you wanna frag of your frustrations. PS2: Thanks again Lashknife for the invite. <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> xephyr on "[private] Hello , I'm new" http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/hello-im-new#post-585 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 10:21:50 +0000 xephyr 585@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ Welcome Ger!

I have applied to join the Holysh1t! crew as a contributer. I'm 27, from Ireland, long time Quake player. I'm unclanned atm for Quake 3 and that wont change anytime soon as I need more practise. My contributions will be based on my old gaming age, losing at quake and my bitterness against younger players and new computer technology. Http://searrard.bebo.com is my homepage I'll be posting my trial piece on Monday.
