Gamespy, Solution two ---------------------------- hey, thnx for writing the nifty utility. i just thought i'd pass on that i found another solution to the gamespy problem. i initially tried q3namething and the fix for gamespy that he offered for those of us with q3test in a dir other than c:\ and it only worked once and then stopped. i went to your site today and tried your name caddy and when i was copying my name into my q3 config i decided to try making a new player profile in gamespy and copying it into there as well. i noticed when setting up a new player in gamespy that there isn't an option for making a q3 profile yet so i just made a q2 player profile and had it as the active player (appears in the gamespy title bar) and joined a game of q3test. it worked, no need to tinker with batch files. i hope this helps.
