Testing maps, own server (on pc), error

(Loffy) #1

Hi!
I tried to start a server. You know, the “Host game” function. It didnt work. Computer freezes. Hm, struggled with it for 45 minutes. But then I removed 15 pk3’s (custom maps and stuff) from my etmain-folder. Problem gone!
What is that? Any comments? (have you had that problem too?)
Just cursious.
It has to do with mapping, I believe, because I collect custom maps, and get lots of them in my etmain-folder.

While I am at it, I might aswell ask: How about having two ET installed on one PC? I have kids, and they love the game. So, there is a conflict there between old man Loffy the et-player and mapper and the kids, who play et, flight sims, quake and tons of games.
Has anyonw tried two installed et? I mean, you could have one for playing, and one for mapping.

I currently have 3 copies of ET installed on my PC in various different stages.

  1. ET with big messy expanded pk3’s for editing
  2. ET final with various pk3’s and expanded resources for testing
  3. Finally a clean ver for testing/playing

I would strongly suggest mappers have multiple copies for testing purposes. HD space is fairly cheap now adays and ET works perfectly fine with multiple copies.
