pk3 limit?

You know what this means

pk3 limit?

Postby UNIverse@War » Dec 31st, '11, 4:44 pm

After so many files uploaded the server wont allow clients to connect.
It's not one particular pk3 because removing a few random ones will fix it.
What limitation am I reaching that's causing this to happen?
Is it .bsp's, .arena's, .pk3's, etc?
And what is the aloud number before things go goofy?
There is no error usually the clients executable crashs.

I am running the quake3.exe to host.
Did ioquake increase this limit?

2000 pk3 files, I think.
Why don't you repack?

so I should add multiple maps to fewer pk3's on the server to prevent the client from crashing?

Server?
The Pk3-Limit on the server does not affect the client.
However the pk3 limit on the client does.
Also the client nor the server should have auto downloading enabled.
