OK...

I OWN quake 3 and recently clean installed it onto my new dual 1ghz g4 with cinema display (at work). I updated it with the 1.32 final and it worked fine... although when I try to connect to ANYTHING, it tells me that my key is invalid... I OWN THE GAME... its on the case! So, it doesn't let me connect. Also, My favorite mod is urban terror... for months it wont refresh its servers in the MP menu... still doesnt. 2.6 just came out... maybe that will fix it, but i have to wait for 230 megs to dl....
ALSO, how does one install PunkBuster? I ran the installer and it just makes a genereic folder for q3 on my HD with PB folder in it. I guess you just drab that into you q3 directory... but to no avail... every game I try to connect to with PB says that I don't have it installed....

any help on anything would be nice!

Do this for the MP refresh bug in Urban Terror:

Quit Quake
Remove the following files from your q3ut2 folder:

pak4.pk3
pak5.pk3
pak6.pk3

Put those files on your desktop.
Start Quake, choose MOD, and start Urban terror.
Go to multuplayer, choose 'get new list'. Now a fresh list will come up.
Quit Quake 3
Transfer the pk3 files back from your desktop to your q3ut2 folder.
Restart Quake 3 and start Urban Terror. The refresh function will now work.

Hope that helps.

DAMN... thanks a ton! That worked like a charm!!!


Also, I noticed that the PunkBuster says that it isn't ENABLED... in the console when I startup Q3, it says PB is disabled... is there some sort of enable command? Nothing in the readme... (dont think there really was one)....

Anyway, thanks!

Glad it worked

Here is how to activate PB.

1. Quake III -> Multiplayer > Internet Games: Rigth upper corner: Activate Punkbuster Button
2. Start Urban Terror, Punkbuster is now activated
