ARENASPY QUAKE 3 IN-GAME SERVER BROWSER
http://www.planetquake.com/arenaspy
--------------------------------------------
-Uses the GameSpy In-Game server browser engine
-10 to 20 times faster than the regular browser
-Can handle over 5000 servers (the regular browser maxes out at 128)
-New larger layout so you can view more servers at once
-Scrollbar to easily move through large lists
-Browse the list while it's updating (and re-sort it too)
-Correctly shows mod names, including 3rd party mods
-Configurable number of simultaneous updates
-Awesome new skin by Walter |2| Costinak
-Double click support
-Mouse wheel support
Installation
------------
Unzip into your base Quake 3 directory (where your Quake3.exe is).
When you start the game, the Multiplayer menu item should be green. If it's
not, the DLL did not load correctly.
-Make sure you have the latest version of Quake 3
-Make sure the uix86.dll is in the same directory as quake3.exe
-Try typing "set vm_ui 0" then "vid_restart" at the console
-If you get kicked back to the console after trying to connect to a server,
it's probably a PURE server that has not upgraded to the latest version
(make sure YOU have!).
IF YOU GET "UI VERSION IS 4, SHOULD BE 3" THEN YOU NEED TO INSTALL THE
POINT RELEASE! GET IT FROM WWW.FILEPLANET.COM
Usage
-----
The new browser works almost exactly like the old one (except faster and better).
Just select the game type and it will start refreshing automatically.
You can scroll the list using the new scrollbar. To use, click it once, drag
to a new position, then click it again. You can resort the list by changing
the sort option.
By default, the server browser queries 20 servers at a time. You can configure
this number by setting the "ui_browserMaxUpdates" console variable. You will need
to type "vid_restart" for the change to take effect. Try a lower number (like 10)
if you are on a modem and the ping times are way off.
