what is the server address?

[m1lle]

cr.brquake.com
port 26010 or 26011

If you CAN see thru the water And Can see the weapons that means your map has been VIS'd.
Just replace your DM3 with the original.

[wicked_lord]

What r00k said is correct.. You have a VIS'd DM3 map.. Replace it with an original. Then work on getting some brazilians back to quake!

[PapaSmurf]

probably just need to delete the dm3.bsp in your id1/maps folder, as there should be a dm3.bsp in your pak1.pak that is not VIS'd

sounds like hackers be hacking.

It's funny, back in 1997/1998 i ran 10 servers from port 26000/26009. One of my port's i think it was 26001 or 26002 had a VIS'd DM3 & DM5 map, and something alot of people did not know was the commands to see into the water.. It was always funny to see the text after you kill someone in water and the first thing they always said was "hack?".. Only a few of my clan member's knew of the VIS'D maps and would always play on that port. So eventually i had to remove them.. It was only there for fun, we never used those ports in matches etc.. Some things in the past were funny during this time because we were all still learning the in's and out's of quake as we know it today.

Even with a visd map you should not be able to see what is in the water on multiplayer.

[R00k]

Sometimes mappers intended players to see into the water.

[bluntz]

Maybe I should clarify, on multiplayer a vised map will not let you see into the water the things in it.If you load the same map as Single player it will let you see them.So if you are looking at the map on your machine by loading it generically it would appear to let items be shown.That is misleading though as it will not if you are a player connecting to it when served.Unless of course you have a hack.

[R00k]

If say a server has a vis'ed DM3 and you dont, u have to enable r_novis 1, and r_wateralpha %. If you also have a vis'ed DM3 then all you need is r_wateralpha %.

For custom maps where the author intended the players to see thru the water then most likely everyone will have the vis'ed version of the map.

But, what u mean is if you have a vis'd dm3 and the server DOESNT then sure, locally (its a local server in singleplayer), u will see items, and online you wont.

[bluntz]

No the items are not visable even though the map is visd unless the server sets it R_novis 1.
Try it. make a server and connect to it not as a listen.

On this Brazilian server i had to use r_novis 1 on his dm3 map. when i went to hdz ctf, fired up ctf1-remix, i didnt have to use r_novis 1, as that remix map is Vis'ed.
I've never seen a server use r_novis 1... lemme try. Ok um r_novis is not available to a dedicated server, just tried it in console, unknown command.

The server HAS to have the map vis'd for players to see items thru water.
