Do you have the link on your models? I would like to check those out. My model work is more crude, as I just want to have it out ASAP. MC textures aren't even compatible as I opted for my own UV map, rather than following the source model's UV. So I tweaked the Steve and Zombie textures to accommodate.

@CatsOverdrive hmm, I didn't release this model separately, it is in quake sandbox and in it you can spawn as many as 256 bots and play on all quake 3 maps by downloading them from the menu workshop and there is a physgun, gravitygun. Toolgun, props, physics, nextbots

How did you made it? What programs did you use?

@@CarlosAtBV as long as you give proper credit, you're free to integrate this to your own project. :)

@@CatsOverdrive awesome, thank you so much!

@@Flk-gv3sm yeah. Though there ARE enough idtech3 games that came out. The STElite Force games, SW Jedi Knights games, Mcgee's Alice, SoF2...then there's the free standalone mods that you can still find and play today like SmokinGuns, OpenArena, ReactionQ3. And, for the most interesting footnote for me; the iteration of IW engine that ran games from CallofDuty4(2007), up to BlackOps2(2012), is a game engine that uses idtech3 as a base.

"-there was definitely something in the official game ship that couldn't handle the load." From what I know, there's two "safety-measures"; First off is the cvars, com_hunkemegs/zonemegs, the game will only use the amount of hunk and zone megs of RAM specified. The second one is coded in the QVM files. How it divvies and allocate a given memory is there, and more importantly, there's a hard set limit written. Meaning, even if you invoke on the cvars to use, like, 512mb of you memory, it will only use a fraction of that. So despite higher ram on modern systems, you will encounter a soft crash due to 'memory limitations'. Now, I did hacked that on my mod, pretty much removing the memory alloc limits. But I think, the problem then is that, since the original quake3 executable was built and used to run on 32bit systems, it cannot actually use alot more RAM that I actually have. So I'd stumble onto malloc errors at best, or get into horrible buffer overflow at worst. Now, the modernised sourceport that I'm using(and HIGHLY recommend) is Quake3e. It's dynamic memory handling and allocation are an absolute godsend for me.

@@denny6353 seems like my mod is still being overwritten by another, because it should work well on a clean 'baseq3'. Are you using some other hd pak or running some other mod? Some solutions i thought up; if you have some other custom pak files in your 'baseq3' folder, then try to rename my files as "zzzzzz01.pk3"- to 03. It should make it so that it overrides the rest(q3 mods work in an alphabetical read order). If you are running another mod, then place the three pak files on that mod folder, not on 'baseq3' folder. Though take note; if the mod in question is using its own weapon models or modified animation stuff, then my mod is probably incompatible with it.

@@TechnoManiac02 here's the mod: www.moddb.com/mods/cz45modbundle/downloads/cz45q3uacm-2023release Then here's the patch: www.moddb.com/mods/cz45modbundle/downloads/cz45q3uacm-2024patch I very much recommend perusing through the included readme and other text files for installation, info, and playing the mod proper.

@@CatsOverdrive thank you so much!!!

@@TechnoManiac02 thank you for having interest in my mod. Stay tuned as i'm developing an update for it. :)

@@chpsilva as i stated on another similar comment, those bot spawns are specifically scripted to act like so, since they're the most basic enemy types you can spawn in my mod. There are other enemy types available to fight in that mod, and most of them are more proactive in moving closer towards you.

Open Arena, a free and open-sourced version of Quake III Arena. Check the pinned comment for the links and info provided.

@@flakkv thank you

and CS 1.6 =)

@@Pootie_Tang Speaking off...I made a video for CS1.6 : th-cam.com/video/of4G6SyWXIg/w-d-xo.html

@@CatsOverdrive Cool, I'll check it out right now! =)

Sci-fi stories, which was the domain for dorky male teenagers, being taken over by middle-aged spirit groupie women, is quite a wild phenomenon to witness.

It could be made compatible, but i don't know how since i don't play Quake Live.

Here, the most I could do : www.moddb.com/mods/cz45s-broken-pezbot-mod/downloads/bpezbot4waw

Damn it. Missed that opportunity. XD

It has a kid-like charm unique to the whole idSoftware catalogue. And I mostly attributed it to Tom Hall's design direction.

@@CatsOverdrive I love its creativity, colorfulness, and different kinds of villains

I don't have the Team Arena expansion(nor the interest in getting it), so i can't really test it. But i think. The crash happens, regardless of source ports used, because TA's qvms have hardcoded memory allocs set, as a failsafe measure. I simply copied a line of code i got from some surviving slav quake 3 modding forum, that allowed me to spawn more bots without crashing. But i did once tripped on a buffer overflow which caused player hit detection go absolutely bonkers. I have yet to replicate that glitch though.

As far as i know, there already is a mod that gives quake 3 some singleplayer campaign functions and capability...i think it's the Entity+ mod. Though what i also know, is that E+ requires maps specifically created for it. You cannot play it with VQ3A maps "out of the box" My aim with my mod is a sandbox, horde-mode arena style of game. The joy of just running around, killing lots of targets. And have it so that you can play it on most VQ3A compatible maps(mostly doesn't work with CTF maps though)

Actually intentionally scripted them to act like so, as they're the most basic enemy archetype you can spawn in the map. There are other enemy types you can spawn, like an aggressive melee-only that always chase after you, or a boss-ish type demon enemy that has alot of health, and moves and fights just like a high tier Q3A bot. And others.
