Post Q3 _ Excessive Mod

Excessive - anyway to play single player with bots?
In other words, so I can practice practice practice with my new controller?

The other night I used the controller very little as the action was very intense. I found myself switching to the keyboard. I felt like I was in highschool, when I would look at my fingers during typing class -.

Download the Excessive client from Fileplanet (it will take you a half hour to download a file that comes down in about 1 minute). It is a zip file that you decompress to your Quake 3 directory. From there it drops three batch files in your main Quake 3 directory. The readme file will tell all about it. One is a single player batch file.

Cool

I have to practice, too. I played last night and got blown away.

I've put a copy of the file you need <a href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/corey.reynolds/files/excessive_q3_server_003.zip" target="_blank">on my server</a> so you don't have to go through the FilePlanet agony to download it.

Welcome to the world of Quake 3!-
Be careful of Morticia and Taz. They are the Queen and King of Q3 at least on Milenko's server ( )

You think Tish is the reigning queen there?

Darn. I missed out!

I was on shortly after 10PM EST and played Draggar and Lt. Cmdr Klarg, but I didn't see you.

I'll try to get some time in this weekend though.

If you want to know when I'm around, just ICQ me at 100675968 and I'll put you on my "hit" list. Weeknights between 7 and 10 are best, if I'm actually home. If you're not a Q3A lord, then I'm probably a better person to play against. I can't compete with Tish and Taz.

How did I do (when I wasn't lagging or crashing)?

Seems to me I was winning when I crashed.

Those were some damn good games last night! Not the usual 100,000 rockets per second I'm used to.

But I think we were all snipers...

I think it was a toss up between you and Draggar there for a while, but I really wasn't into it last night - I just plain sucked

BTW, MacGyver, I don't think anyone from WinDrivers can successfully challenge Taz and Morticia when they make up their mind to lay the smack down

I'll try to be on this evening.

Maybe we can somehow persuade Taz into joining our side and maybe, just maybe the rest of us might be a worthy opponent against Morticia.

Looking forward to swapping a few frags with you MacGyver.
