3.1.0 - Quick start guides 3.1.0 - Getting started These guides were created to get you into Urban Terror as quickly as possible. These guides will assume you are running the current point release from id Software (version 1.32) and have never downloaded any previous files for Urban Terror. If you have not upgraded your point release, we recommend you read Section 2.1.0 - Point Release Information. 3.1.1 - What files do I need? You will need to have the following files
in order to successfully run Urban Terror Beta 3.4:
3.1.2 - Installation/Setup/Controls After you download the UrbanTerror34.zip extract the contents to YOUR default Quake 3 Arena directory, based on your operating system. All the Urban Terror files need to be extracted in the quake3/q3ut3 directory. If you do not have this directory, then create it and extract the contents of the zip file. You can avoid these steps by downloading and running the executable installer (Windows only). If you want to get into the game immediately, then start Quake 3 Arena. Click on the MODS and you will see a list of the mods you have installed. Click on Urban Terror Beta 3.4, followed by LOAD. This will start the loading sequence and bring up the main Urban Terror menu. In order to skip the start up screen, you can make a copy of your Quake 3 Arena shortcut. Right click on this shortcut and go to properties. Inside this screen, you can add +set fs_game q3ut3 at the end of the Target line [example: "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set fs_game q3ut3]. The previous example is where of a default install of Urban Terror. This will allow you to load right into Urban Terror without having to start Quake 3.. At the very least, you should configure your online alias, along with a minimum number of keys in order to play Urban Terror. Click on SETUP and enter your NAME. Click on CONTROLS and bind the unique keys, such as zoom, previous and next weapon, reload, bandage and use/open door. This will allow you to get going quickly without having to go through all your keys. You can bind the other keys in game as you need them. For more information on controls, we recommend you check Section 4.0.0 - Controls and UI. This section goes into more details on each key, along with radio commands, string variables binds and scripts in order to make things simpler when playing. 3.1.3 - Punkbuster setup The 1.32 Point Release implemented PunkBuster, an online service that detects certain variables that are usually associated with cheating. Before you can join an online server you must enable PunkBuster. There are a few ways to do this. You can start Quake 3 Arena, click on MULTIPLAYER and toggle it to ENABLED or you can opt to do it through the console. In order to access the console press the tilde key [~]. Once in the console type, PB_CL_ENABLE or CL_PUNKBUSTER 1. That is it. The rest is taken care of on the server side. You did want to get right into the game correct? So go play! If you encounter problems, we recommend you check Section 10.0.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING or the FAQ for further information.
