IU1.2Beta3 version mismatch #214

Closed TicTac9k1 closed 1 year ago

TicTac9k1 commented 1 year ago

I try to load this mod but I'm running into the error version mismatch instaunlagged/baseq3-1

quake3.exe +set fs_game "IU1.2Beta3" - This works and loads mod fine quake3e-vulkan.x64.exe +set fs_game "IU1.2Beta3" - This gives a version mismatch when loading into a map. It has worked fine roughly 2 years ago.

I'm at a loss where to look for the solution. Did mod compatibility for IU1.2Beta3 break somehow?

This is incompatibility with cgame and qagame mod. Not related to engine.

Server side mod and client side mod mismatched. So you either missing component or it didn't load on the server, but loaded the base one instead

I did start a listen server, and it seems like all components are there since it loaded fine with the base game, and I pulled it from https://rktclan.ucoz.net/load/1-1-0-15 since it was the only source I could find that still hosted the mod.

Although I can't remember if I was using ioquake or q3e at the time though. I knew of Q3E's existence at the time but I'm not 100% sure what was running on my old server that so I will have to check that server and hope I have the files on there still so I can cross reference it.

It's not the end of the world however, since I found that ExcessivePlus still works and supposedly there's a config that imitates the behaviour, though sadly barred behind a registration that seemingly doesn't work. Any pointers into a right direction would be appreciated, but I realise this might be the wrong place to ask.

Well you should probably make sure it actually loaded the correct qagame.qvm and cgame.qvm. There is a good chance you did not load one or the other, as the error implies one is mismatched.

I found that q3plus supports everything and more I wanted to accomplish after asking around in the Q3A discord. The mod I originally intended to use was just very dated.

In any case, thanks for your help and work.
