The first thing that really disappointed me with Q3UT on mac was the (imo) stupid cfg stuff... I mean, which q3config.cfg does the job? Today i have 3 q3configs and just to be 100% sure that alll settings i change stays i sync them all.. and the 3 q3configs is in:

program/Quake3/q3ut3
user/preat/library/application support/Quake3/baseq3
user/preat/library/application support/Quake3/q3ut3

can i skip any of them? Can i do changes to user/preat/library/application support/Quake3/baseq3/q3config.cfg just to change Q3 settings? Or will it f_ck up my urt settings as well?

user/preat/library/application support/Quake3/q3ut3 is the one that is being used.

user/preat/library/application support/Quake3/baseq3 is the config used when you play baseq3. If you start baseq3 first and then load UrT as a mod via the menu, the cvars of your baseq3 overwrite the ones in the q3ut3.

program/Quake3/q3ut3 doesnt do anything afaik

Woek's Right... it will over write.. it's an EXTREMELY annoying "bug" but I always played only UrT so it was never a big deal for me....

the best "solution" is to haev a second config named preat.cfg ( or whatever) and once in UrT load that config in the console .. which for the life of me at the moment I can;t recall what that command is ...... anyone wanna jump in and help ??

exec

But I think the best solution is to use urt launcher for urt, so that baseq3 doesnt overwrite your q3ut3 config. Having a backup of your config is always smart though.

The best thing to do is just use the startup script as described in this forum somewhere to start quake3 with +set fs_game q3ut3 and it will skip the baseq3 config. Only annoyance is when you watch gtv games, the test_bigbox will reload the baseq3 config and mess it all up again. Making the q3ut3 config read-only fixes this one though.
