Hi, The error message is random.
Sometimes: Unknown Reason or Illegible Server Message XXX (from 1 to 40000) I think it is the var MAX_PAKFILES http://lists.ioquake.org/pipermail/ioquake3-ioquake.org/2006-September/00134 3.html If you search in ET forums after pk3 limits or Illegible Server Message you can find many many answers with the answer reduce your pk3 files ;) But i think a libary will be a correct solution.

After the server has reached the Limit no one can connect to the Servers. They are kicked because of random failures. The solution with huge pk3 Files will not work for our customers. =( The Limit in 2.55 is very low. (30) In 2.60b it is around 200 Pk3 files. But the most of our customers rent the old version because more Players are connecting. I think the only way to increase the PK3 limit is to write a libary that defines the quake3 engine pk3 limit var to a higher value. best regards, Philipp Reddigau (GKServer) GKServer Daniel Zschau Niederfährer Straße 38 01662 Meißen Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Edson Alves Pereira Gesendet: Donnerstag, 1.

I remember a little about it, but not so sure, quake3 load and store all maps inside baseq3/ in memory, but the number of maps is limited by a some variables, i think it should be 5 variables. For example, in my baseq3/ directoy i have more than 500 pk3 files, but i only can see around 50 in map menu, to change this is necessery modify the way quake3 load maps, to not store all pk3 files in memory only the one that player really choose to play, display maps pictures only by page size, quake3, shows only 4 per page, but it can also be changed. I was working in this features some time ago, just to suite my needs. If someone think its really needed, i can reworked it and send the codes to you check.

However, the Q3 serverinfo string would run out of space with the description of loaded PK3s so after a certain point you could never add more because the additional ones would never be registered with the server and made available to the players. We ended up having to redo our PK3 structure. I don't know what to suggest with ET, especially since you'd only have access to the mod code and not the engine code--which wouldn't help if you wanted to be compatible with regular ET clients anyway. Really emphasize map packs, I guess. And rotate maps in and out, maybe have a forum where players can vote for the map rotation for the upcoming week. You'd have to make and post online your own custom map packs if you want to combine EVERYTHING, though, because if you do it on the server your clients will still need that EXACT SAME PK3 to connect and play if you're running in pure mode and got punkbuster on. Maybe make a giant map pack and let ET download it from the built-in autodownloader or post it to a website and put info in the MOTD.
