1. How do I Record a demo ? (top)

I bind F12 Key for recording, here is the script will give you 20 demo file slots, pull down your console, and type in following: or download it and save it in your \Quake III Anera\baseq3\ directory. once you start the game, pull down the console, type /exec record.cfg , from this point on your F12 key will toggles between start recording and stop recording.

bind F12 vstr demotoggle
set startdemo "g_synchronousClients 1;vstr demonumber;g_synchronousClients 0; set demotoggle vstr stopdemo"
set stopdemo "stoprecord; vstr democycle; set demotoggle vstr startdemo"

2. How Do I Make a ScreenShot? (top)

By default Q3 use F11 for screen shots.

3. How Do I Play Version 1.31 and 1.32 at same machine? (top)

The MasterCTF servers are running on Quake3 version 1.32, if you have the latest patch which its version 1.31 will not play on version 1.32 servers.

Here is what you need to do to have both version on the same PC.(I am NOT responsible any damages to your software or PC)

1. Go to your Quake3 directory copy Quake3.exe to C:\
2. Download Patch 1.32 for Quake3 ( q3pointrelease_132.exe ), and re-apply the patch, this will down grade your Quake executable back to version 1.30
3. Go to your Quake3 directory again, and RENAME the file Quake3.exe (you just upgraded) to QIII132.exe
4. make a shortcut of that QIII132.exe on your desktop.
5. Go to your C:\ and find the file you have copied earlier quake3.exe, copy it back to Quake3 directory

now you should have 2 short cut on your desktop, the original one are still plays quake3 version 1.31, like you haven't done a thing, on other hand, the new one, QIII130.exe short cut will let you start Quake3 game in version 1.30.

4. Why are MasterCTF servers don't show up in the server list sometimes? (top)

id Software's Master server list down, there is nothing I can do, but MasterCTF servers publish to GameSpy server list also, so if you have GameSpy, you will be able to see MasterCTF servers in the thier list. or you can always connect to MasterCTF servers manually, by going to console type: /connect q3.masterctf.com or for server2: /connect q3.masterctf.com:27970

5. This guy never misses, is he cheating ? (top)

NOT likely, both MatserCTF servers are running as pure server, they are imposable load cheat commands nor hacks, 90% of the players who think someone else is cheating are 3-9 month newbie, just remember a real good player are better than bots, if you think someone is cheating, go to spectator, and spect that player, recording a demo than email it to me, if he is cheating, than he will be banned from server for ever, but, if you are wrong accuse someone is cheating, you will be banned for ever!!

6. I want to setup a Q3 server, can you help me? (top)

Set up a server isn't that hard, go to planetquake's admin section and www.gameadmin.com for details, but you do need to have basic knowledge of computers, internet and TCP/IP. if after you have read above 2 links and you have no idea where to start, here is a hint, go to book store get a book called "TCP/IP for dummies" and "Windows for dummies"
