    Quake 3 server help

    I know you have to dig deep back in memory....

    I and a few workers have a q3 server running during lunch and I'm trying to get the grappling hook to turn on my default on the server and not be a cheat.

    i have the .bat file and the .cfg file setup to run the server... What do I need to put in the .cfg file to get the grappling to default on?

    Right now we are running 1.17, but I plan on upgrading to 1.32 tomorrow.


    we are running an old game so hopefully it's not noticed by IT that much hogging bandwidth... It also is simple enough to where I can just copy the Quake III arena folder and put it on peoples machines.. as most people don't have admin rights on their machines to "install" new programs.

    When in the world did vanilla Q3 have a grapple hook?

      it was written in the code, but left "locked". It was an easter egg.

        I was severely addicted to Quake III. I am glad those days are over. From probably 14-16 the only thing I could recollect is the corner of my room and computer.. lol

          I wrote several quake 3 mods. I know that engine inside and out. I vaguely remember a.disabled grapple but it was never used in any competitive play. I made a grapple in one of my mods.

            I have played quite a few mods and never even knew grappling existed. That it I am not familiar with that term in the games sense.

                    We just copy the quake III arena folder from computer to computer. We don't "install" it on computers without admin rights.

                      Do you have any of those mods still?

                      I'm trying to find old tutorials and just no luck.. Most are lost in the internet forever I guess.

                        give commands require you to be in devmap mode.

                        try this

                        /devmap q3dm1

                        then /give grappling hook. Q3 uses "impulse" as different weapon slots, grapple would be impulse 22 if you want to bind it.

                          Yeah, but i'm trying to set a dedicated server so that we can use the offhand grapple...

                          Every mod I try and download no longer exist. Same for tutorials to build a simple mod for it.

                            That's because it's a cheat in the game, you can't run a dedicated server that's open to cheats. It would have to be a mod. My mod SH3 (Superheroes III) had it in there. Doesn't look like planetquake hosts it anymore.
