Does anyone still have a copy of it? Im interested in seeing what its like, being based off the UT gametype and all. I tried downloading it from somewhere but all I got was a blank screen and a console just repeating some error over and over again.

Thanks in advance.

Where did you download the "Domination Mod" from?

I can't seem to locate the download.

It installs fine, but when you go to play it just shows a blank screen and pulling up the console brings many errors.

What happened was I loaded it up and all it showed was a black screen and when I pulled down console like you said, it showed errors.

From what I can tell, whoever made the mod or posted it needs to recognize that the mod has issues. I don't think these are ones you can just fix because your computer had an error. The mod obviously just doesn't work.

I had a similar error experience with Maldavria. Where I heard it was such a great mod, saw screenshots, and all I got was a bunch of missing textures, errors galore, and on top of all of that, crashed whenever I entered. So yeah.

Also feel free to discuss stuff about mods on my other discussion thread is there are any cool mods you want to talk about. I'm open to suggestions. I haven't seen a good SP mod in a while.

Hmm... I tried the released before 1.2 (the one I tried earlier) but I continue to receive the same issues. It says something like "Registration: FreeType Font Not Available" or something along the lines, I`m not sure what it could mean.

Do you have the exact error message? FreeType is Open Source or GNU software for rendering fonts. My guess is the developers implemented this software somehow ----- or ----- you are missing a font the developers used.

The full error message may help and this link has more on the FreeType project: www.freetype.org/

Try running it through ioquake3 - that's got FreeType code implemented into the engine.

Man, makes me want to go back to coding that domination gametype I was doing. It's a pretty simple gametype so it can't be too complicated to finish coding.

@TheMuffinMan: You mean, you actually got the mod to work?

@SW12: Nah I haven't tried the mod if you're referring to the ones that Emerald and Tig are linking too.

BTW I keep forgetting to tell you that I got this mod to work. You just have to use an older version of Q3 - 1.17 - which still requires the Q3A CD, unless you have a no-CD crack which should be perfectly ethical to use nowadays.

The CD Key can be found on the CD Case (of the version that I have anyway). Sometimes the key is on the box (rare), sometimes on the manual, at the front or back.

@FistMarine:
You do exactly what it says... you insert the Q3A CD.

I was referring to the CD check feature, not CD keys. Like I said though, there's a crack to bypass that irritating-as-hell CD check. Here it is: www.planetquake3.n...ak/q3tools.html . Considering that this game is quite old and Id Software themselves removed CD checking a long time ago, I don't see using this crack as being illegal etc., but Tig, if you don't want me linking to that crack then feel free to delete this post :)
