I was wondering if there is a way to increase the amount of maps shown in the game menu? I read somewhere its about 80, the only solution I could find was code compilation and changing a value but I'm not very tech savvy. I haven't hit the map limit yet but if there's any solutions that would be great because there are a ton of great maps here.
Thanks.

You can always load up the UIEnhanced mod if you really want to use a menu to list lots of maps. Most players tend to not clutter up their baseq3 with too much.

@Cosmosis - I keep all the maps in the original zip files, in a directory. My /baseq3 is very clean. Just the original PK3's and a few custom .cfg's

I use ..::LvL to locate the map I want to play, then use a script to unzip the PK3 from the zip file. The download name is included on the downloads page on ..::LvL - that is all I need to know :) The script can also clean up (remove) any custom PK3's.

Why go to all this trouble?

  • Fast to load the game.
  • Any issues identified will be limited to the small number of PK3's installed.
  • The in game menu is a pain to use.
  • Can only play one map at time anyway :)

:-D
I use our website as well as ..::LvL to find maps. My server has them all and I download ones we choose to play. It sounds like you want to have an easy and quick way to find specific maps...but I don't think there really is one. Maybe @Tig could create a feature here where you can "favorite" maps so you can track them. ?

@sedawkgrep & @Cosmosis : Yep, you can "bookmark" a map on ..::LvL. To use the bookmark feature, click the context button (bottom right) on any map. There are four sub options (so 5 options in total) for each bookmark.
  • Private
  • Favourite
  • Will play
  • Other
  • (no tag)
You can then view all your bookmarks from your profile.

And while we are showing off :)
