When I tried loading up RQ3 (which I eagerly wanna try after falling in love with AQ2) I installed everything which was fine, until I tried loading Urban. I got the error message "Snaps out of range" and the game dropped back to the menu. I tried a number of different maps and still no luck...

Can anyone help me? I wanna kick some ass... :evil:

does it give something like "Snaps out of range: must be within 0 and 100" or something similar?

It sounds like you have a variable set too high or low. If that's the case, change the snaps setting (sorry, at work, and can't check what it is.) to a value within the numbers given in the error message, and you should be good to go.

I think I got that error in RA3 earlier to, try changeing /snaps to something different values between 10-100... might seem far fetched but give it a go.

Here's the 2.1 cvar range from the cvar.cfg:
r_gamma 0 1.7
r_intensity 0 2.0
r_mapoverbrightbits 2 2
r_fullbright 0 0
r_picmip 0 3
r_singleshader 0 0
r_drawWorld 1 1
r_lockpvs 0 0
r_nocurves 0 0
r_shownormals 0 0
r_showtris 0 0
r_znear 0 4
r_lightmap 0 0
cg_bobup 0 0.01
cl_maxpackets 30 120
cl_timenudge -50 100
rate 2500 999999
snaps 20 40

It's up to the server admin to determine what values to use (these are the recommended values). If you get kicked from a server, check the kick message to determine what value is out of range, and adjust accordingly. The values are shown at the end of the message.

Well, this is all very good and well, and I'll try that out, but this wasn't connecting to a remote server, this was trying to set up a loca one...

But oh well

Time for trial and error!!!

It doesn't matter if it's local or not. If your setting up a local game it would look at your cvar.cfg which has those limits.....I think.

I looked in the cvar.cfg file and it says that the values *were* at 20 40... So fucked if I know what to do, I guess I'll have to wait one of my hardcore q3 buddies to come down and have a fiddle...

no, cvar.cfg shows what the default limits are.

Start quake3, bring down the console and type \snaps and see what it says. If it's less then 20, type \snaps 20 If it's greater then 40 type \snaps 40

This will probably never get referenced but under OpenArena release 0.70 the values have to be set as
r_gamma 0.000000 1.700000
rather than
r_gamma 0 1.7

Previous versions of OA were fine.

Game plays well, missing textures on a few maps are fixed but now the scores don't show :cry:

Damn I just noticed it's 5 years to the day since the above post
