Hi,

I'm trying fix up action quake for a LAN deathmatch using Axion - however when I'm running around a map I can't pick up any body armour...eveything else is works fine. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Dunno about the issue, but try executing the TNG pre-made config files for servers, namely mode_wishedmode.cfg.

Thanks Caracol - Axion comes with ETE and starts deathmatch when you load a map. In order to use TNG do I just need to replace the gamex86.dll file in the action dir. and exec a pre-made config? And if so where do i place the config?

I don't know anything about ETE. And TNG puts those mode_ configs in the action folder by itself, the zip I know has them inside.
If you happen to miss them, dunno, everyone has them, ask around. Or check other files near the one you get for TNG.

That's really odd that you can't pick up the vest, specifically. Maybe you're accidentally picking up another item somewhere along the line?

Also, you can try upping your "items" from 1 to 3 or something. See if there's an issue there.

I don't know how TNG executes .cfg files, but I think any Q2 mod should be able to load .cfg's by typing:

] exec mode_wishedmode.cfg

A map change and you should be good to go for any cvars that change the game mode to get enacted.
