maps not loading

[werlin]

hi all, im new here and to defrag aswell

i dont know if its in the right section, so feel free to move it...

im having problems with some maps... the dfengine will dl them, but when loading it puts me back to the menu...
the console says something like "trying to load dll ui. failed loading dll. looking for qvm. 60 arenas parsed, 1 discarded..."

anyone knows why this is happening?

thx

You have to install defrag first.
Read the link Alien gave to you.

i installed quake3 fully, defrag, then it told me was expecting version x, found y... so i installed the point rls...
then game searcher to connect to the servers and while on the servers i found out about dfengine.. so i dl it and it works great... maps download, and most will load... but so far there are two that didnt... they dl but will not load.. on or offline...

i've since installed the point rls again but the maps will not load anyway..

the only bother 4 me is that when there's just two of us playing and ppl(people) ask me if i want another map, i say yes and suddenly its seems i left.. and its just rude
or if im alone and have the misfortune of the map i choose not loading, im locked out 'till somebody decides to logon and change it

Could you give an example of a map that doesn't load? It could be because of a memory shortage.
Try this:
- Start up q3 and load in defrag/start dfengine
- Open up console
- Type /com_hunkmegs x, where x is a multiple of 8, I'd say /com_hunkmegs 256 should cover any memory shortage
- Now close q3/dfengine (q3 needs reboot for the hunkmegs to adjust)
- Open q3 again and your hunkmegs will be 256, then try to play one of those maps that didn't load and if they still don't load I haven't got a clue xD :p

thx albion that solved it... one of the maps is pornstarghost3 and on the map picture it has that exact cmd line saying 512
but 256 does the trick thx!!

ps: now if only there was a console cmd to make good cj's

No problem and for the cj's -> practice makes perfect ;D

they're a bit better now

btw i was about to start a new post but since this one is still up and the subject is practically the same...

i installed the new version this morning
now i cant connect to to the servers, and the console is throwing this:

error: client/server game mismatch: defrag/defrag -5

i've tried to put the old version on it again replacing the files, but the error still appears

edit: didnt noticed that the servers are not on new version yet
so scratch that, problem solved, just did a fresh install
thx anyway

Defrag 1.92.xx is still in testing. We run the stable branch of defrag. Just like I said in the current news post on the main page. Just use the 1.91.20 again and you are fine. 1.92.02 can't be used on our servers yet.
