io UT4 Load New Maps

Gluteus Maximus, Mon Apr 16 2007, 12:39PM

I have installed io 1.0 and UT4. It works fine with the maps that come with the install.

Where do I install new maps like ut4_paradise in io?

I had previously installed UT4 under my QuakeIII directory without using io. In there map went in the q3ut3 directory.

I have mine set up like this.

C:/programfiles/quake3arena/q3ut4: this is where I keep all map files, and where I will add future maps files.

in the quake3arena folder is where I have the io.exe file and i have it linked to my desktop to launch there.

OK, the map shows up in the "select map" section or the start a server screen, but when i try to start a server using ut4_paradise, i get:

RE_LoadWorldMap: maps/ut4_paradise.bsp not found

hmmm..... You have me stumped. I remember getting coliision map when I was trying to load it after I knew I had it downloaded. I tried to re-download it and replace the one I had. It worked for me. I don't know if that will solve your issue or not.

dont know but this might help.. When i installed the io version of Urt4 i installed it incorrectly so i was recieving the same error. Below is what i did to fix it.

1 - I installed the quake version of UrT4 just like UrT3: C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\q3ut4

2 - Then i installed the io version in C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\

3 - i placed a copy of ut4_paradise in both folders and all works,, though i dont know if you need the maps in both folders.

4 - As Earl said per the install of the io version it created a shortcut on my desktop to make it easy to launch and load into io servers using the UrT gui and NOT ASE...

NOTE: im a total 4.0 noob so my suggestions might be worth less than .02

PS. you might want to re-download the map for i know there is 2 versions floating around, this is the correct one: http://www.kickassctf.com/download.php?list.14

I have io and ut4 loaded on two different computers and ut4_paradise will not load on either machine when playing FSK40 iout online.

I can start my own LOCAL server and ut4_paradise works fine.

Also notice that when ut4_pardise comes up on the FSK405 io server, the number of players gets cut to less than half. I must not be alone here.

I tried setting the pure server to 0 in the autoexec.cfg file but that does not seem to help. Also tried to set it manually.

It's quite simple. You have one of two directories:

quake3/q3ut4

or

ioUrbanTerror/q3ut4

Thus you could have urt installed into c:\program files\ioUrbanTerror

...and there would be a q3ut4 directory under that folder.

Download your .pk3 file, and place it into the q3ut4 directory. That's all.

dankrider is also correct, there was a bad release, so you should download the newest again.

Don't put maps (.pk3's) into the folder that also _contains_ q3ut4. You're creating overhead for quake3 by doing so. Remember, any folder from the quake3 root dir (which can now also be ioUrbanTerror thanks to the id software code release) is considered a quake3 mod.

That means that vanilla quake3 is a mod of itself - baseq3. Part of the license agreement for the free q3 source involves not using any resource contained within baseq3. That means that any map you put into q3ut4 promises not to use any textures/sounds/models/etc from the baseq3 folder.

We've gotten away with this in the past, before the code release, to use different textures, sounds, shaders, etc in q3ut3, q3ut2, and other mods. But for a successful standalone mod, all resources must be contained in q3ut4 for ioUrbanTerror to be in agreement with the q3 license.

Ahhhhhhh,

The ut4_Paradise I downloaded is a .zip file that does not include a .pk3 file.

Funny that it works in the non-io version and also works on a local net.

Thanks everyone. I will try downloading ut4_paradise again.

the one on my site as of today is zipped you must unzip it. if you downloaded it previously you must rename it, thats why i just zipped it. IE does funny things to some pk3's. or if your using iourt just turn on autodownload and join our FSK405 ioUrbanterror 4.0 kickassctf.com server when is on paradise and it will auto d/l
