Frequently Asked Questions

Hope this page will help all those new to Eternal Arena.

I want to play Eternal Arena what do I have to do?  
Grab the latest version from our downloads page.  

What do I do with the Eternal Arena zip I've just downloaded?  
Once you've downloaded the file, just unzip the files retaining their folder structure to your quake3 folder, and they should be placed in a folder called "eternalarena" so it will look like this /quake3/eternalarena.  

How do I start a game of Eternal Arena?  
You can create a shortcut to the Eternal Arena .bat file that has been placed in your /quake3/eternal folder, or fire up normal quake3 then goto the mods menu, and you should see an entry for Eternal Arena, just select it and hit load, it will refresh the game and when it loads back in, you will see the familiar Eternal Arena background.

How can I turn some of the new things on the HUD on/off?  
All the new HUD features are selectable from the Eternal Options menu, and see the HUD Options link, most are just toggles, so you can easily turn them on/off as you wish.  

Can I choose which new features to use?  
Yeah sur eyou can, again just goto the Eternal Options menu, and you can tweak all the options from there, turning things on/off to create a game that suits you.  

How do I start one of the new gamemodes?  
when you goto start a skirmish or create a multiplayer game you will be provided with an options screen where you can first switch on/off any gamemodes you wish to play with, before proceeding to teh server setup. 

Do the gamemodes replace the gametypes?  
No, not at all, the gamemodes are in addition to the exising gametypes, so you can create some really unique games, like a Instagib Rails CTF or a Rocket Duel Tourny. 

My score isn't increasing when I kill someone?
Thats because you've probably got the practice toggle switched on, which disables the scoring so you can play unlimited games. Just see the Eternal Options menu for the toggle or at the console type /g_practice 0

In some of the gamemodes things are missing from the maps?
Thats because they are not needed, like in Full Load you already start off with all the weapons, so theres no need for them in the map, or like in Instagib Rails, you only get the railgun, so other weapons and ammo have been removed too.

Why can't my server use Vadrigar admins?
Servers must set the cvar "/g_allowvadrigars 1" to allow vadrigars to be used.

Where can I discuss Eternal Arena other players?  
You can always post your views for discussion over on our EA Forum.

Either email me post news of it on the EA Forum. Hopefully I can squash it for the next release.
