Default Re: New Beta out to the testers...

I think I understand now. Are you saying that I can make multiple mods and select whichever one I want at game startup instead of editing path.txt? Sweet.

Essentially, yes. And "mod manager" is a good description of the functionality involved.

The older Versions of Quake did this through command line parameters but Q3Arena has the mod selection build right into the menu. I don't think it would be too tough to implement something like that given that they aleady do something similar in the "Create New Strategy" screen.

Bottom line is that we'll just have to see what Aaron comes up with. Even if it's not all there at first, it can always be refined and tuned in subsequent patches. I'm just thrilled that MM is willing to add this in any form right now.

Like Atrocities I'm also interested in becoming a betatester. If places are vacant please let me know at ppacharles@planet.nl

Well, I am from the original 50 testers, and there is another group from Shrapnel. At first MM didnt want any more testers, but for now I don't know.

I have send Messages to both Shrapnel and MM to let them know I'm available as betatester if they need to strengthen the work force. Let's wait and see.
