My old and slow one finally died , out with the Celerion
500 and in with the new Althon 1.8 new 19 inch
monitor cd-burner, dvd, ddr, ram and so on gaming machine.
Needless to say with my new system Quake 3 and team arena
and many other game play very fast and extra pretty....
On a side note don't forget to make backups of you maps to
a media off your computer, I forgot too and lost two weeks
of work in the crash. Yes it took the hard drive with
it... Good thing I had most of my work on the other
drive..
I have a couple reviews or hardware

other a cool light. I need to test them a little
longer before I make my review...

New version of Q3ME
available.
Nothing big changed, just some small things and some compatibility
issues with gtkrad 1.1.1 is fixed.
Here's the change log:
Version 1.4
-----------
+ Now you can select an option that will allow you to
always run q3 after a build. (Added after request)
* Fixed support for compiling a map in a mod dir, there's
two ways depending wich version of the tools being used.
Defaults to GTKRadiant 1.1.1 way. Switch this option off
if you use an older version of q3/gtkrad. (View->Using
GTKRadiant 1.1.1 or later)
! Devmap button are now disabled when a bsp file is not
found for the selected file.
+ New dialog; "standard switches when running
quake3", where you can either add pre-defined
switches or just type in the edit control.
* Added popup menu over the file list. Always been in
there but not activated.
! Changed "enable bots" on the quake3 tab to
"disable bots". Changed on request.
+ Q3ME caused Q3Map to crash occasionally in the latest
version of GTKRadiant because the new compiler tools where
not backwards compatible. Fixed.
Here's the link Lanzelot's
temporary web space because his usual site isn't stable
right now:
http://w1.312.telia.com/~u31218677/q3me13to14patch.zip
Opps! You will need to have
version 1.3 installed before using this version since it's
only a patch.
