TEAM RADIO

All team radio is bound via the menu system. When in game you can send messages to your team with radio binds in order to communicate without the use of any third-party software. Very handy for pub play.

Examples:
Global radio usage: bind x "say damn"
Team radio usage: bind x "say_team attack now"

AMMO LIMITS

Implemented to promote game balance and teamplay.

FUNNY WAV SCRIPTING

Here's a short example script for cycling funny wavs:

// funnies.cfg (compliments of fredo @ id software)
// Sound Selection key binds
bind i vstr prevsound
bind o vstr currsound
bind p vstr nextsound
// sound vstr
set nextsound "vstr nxt_sound"
set prevsound "vstr prv_sound"
set currsound "vstr curr_sound"
//Choose your own sounds from the funnies pk3 files and add them below
set sound_01 "play_voice _ayb; set prv_sound vstr sound_05; set nxt_sound vstr sound_02;set curr_sound vstr sound_01"
set sound_02 "play_voice _cutitout; set prv_sound vstr sound_01; set nxt_sound vstr sound_03;set curr_sound vstr sound_02"

//end of funnies.cfg - expand this list as you see fit, just pay close attention to the numbering scheme

GENERAL HELP

Punkbuster

Some people occasionally have issues with punkbuster for QIII (Especially with brand-new installs of QIII). Here's the quickest way to get pb working correctly on either your client or server via a manual update (this assumes you have the required 1.32 Point Release) should your client not work for some reason (all needed settings should be getting set by the new autoexec.cfg included in v1.1):

1. Grab the Quake III Arena pbsetup util for your operating system from here and save it locally (or in the root of your pb folder located inside your Quake III folder).
2. Run the pbsetup executable, make sure QIII is an added game with a valid path to quake3.exe and then let it update your punkbuster files.
3. Connect to a punkbuster server - if you get a message about pb being disabled hit the ~ (tilde) key and type /pb_cl_enable to enable Punkbuster.
4. More PunkBuster info may be available in our forum FAQ.

Video Card Lockups

Nvidia drivers on certain level Nvidia cards have been known to lock up QIII when punkbuster is in use, therefore try the following drivers on the following cards if you're experiencing lockups:
GeForce2 and below - use up to Detonator 23.11
GeForce3 and 4 - use up to Detonator 45.23
GeForceFX - anything over Detonator 45.23

Server Browser

Although we recommend using a Third-party game browser such as All Seeing Eye, Gamespy 3D or Gamespy Arcade etc, Loki's Revenge has the robust Team Arena-style server browser included. The server browser can be accessed by selecting JOIN SERVER from the main menu. When obtaining a new list of servers for the first time please be patient, as the browser is essentially querying all of the QIII servers it can find in the world. Third-party game browsers such as All-Seeing Eye can perform this function much faster.

How to Pogo (Instagib Only)

Physically, Pogo is nothing more than a no-damage Rocket Jump with a different sound effect and no explosion. You'll need to bind a key to pogo via the menu and then youre ready to use this 1337 tool to dodge rails in instagib when timed correctly. Simply use the bind exactly as you would rocket jump, except you use the key bind to execute as its an offhand device. To manually bind the pogo via the console the syntax is: bind x "+button6"

RUNNING A DEDICATED SERVER

Windows batch files and Linux .sh files have been included in order to setup a quick server for either LAN parties or internet play.
To run an LRCTF server in less than 60 seconds (assumes you are running at least Quake III with Point Release 1.32 and up-to-date Punkbuster files):
1. Open the sv_lrctf.cfg and add necessary passwords and hostname
2. Run the *.bat or *.sh file which is most appropriate for your situation

SERVER CONFIGS

sv_lrctf.cfg - this is the main server config for setting up a dedicated server for LRCTF. Most all of the available settings and cvars have already been pre-configured for the most optimal server settings and gameplay. Note: if you rename the sv_lrctf file for whatever reason you also need to change the sv_config cvar inside the file to match the new filename in order for match mode to end properly.

sv_mapconfig.cfg - This file is read by the server in order to set up maplist entries to automatically run different game modes. You shouldn't ever need to edit this file.

maplist_1v1.cfg - Tourney mode for 1v1 all-weapons. g_gametype 1
maplist_ctf.cfg - Default LRCTF maplist, used to rotate CTF-only LRCTF maps. g_gametype 4
maplist_ffa.cfg - Instagib Deathmatch. g_gametype 0
maplist_tdm.cfg - Team Deathmatch. g_gametype 3
maplist_mix.cfg - CTF with 2-minute FFA Instagib intermissions and some 10-minute TDM All-Weaps.

*To use a particular maplist simply edit the cmd line which starts the server (.bat or .sh files) and then choose an appropriate starting map immediately after the +map cmd line parameter.

SERVER OPS - WANT TO ALLOW A GamersTV SPEC CLIENT?
[TIP: you must manually add 'pb_sv_specname GTV' to the pbsv.cfg in order to allow a GTV client on your server]

REF MENU

While connected to a server and you select the Referee menu you'll instantly be prompted to enter a password. Once accessed, refs can move players from one team to another (including team spectate), kick players, change maps and time/cap limits. Refs can also start, stop and pause matches. Referees are also allowed to temporarily password servers, however this password is strictly temporary and wiped out once each match ends (yes, after every map). Referees can also be callvoted, however the server must have a minimum of 6 players present.

Although all referee functions are available through the menu system here's a list of available referee console commands:
ref_admin <password>
ref_matchpassword <password>
ref_map <mapname>
ref_restart
ref_capturelimit <captures>
ref_timelimit <minutes>
ref_move <player> <team>
ref_kick <player>
ref_allspec
ref_pause
ref_resume
ref_end
ref_start
ref_players
ref_time (shows remaining game time, taking pauses into account)
players - list of players and client numbers available to all clients for callvoting (referee, kick, etc)
