Sounds good, about the bots. And as for the memory prob, well. Hope you figure it out lol. Glad you can, I don't have the first idea of what its doing lol. Dallas

Actually, the game seems to have a finite memory allocation for its sounds, which at present, I don't know how to change, or even if it can be changed without doing an extensive mod of the game engine itself, which I'm not in a position to do right now. <smile> From what I can tell, it looks like the reason for the errors was that Quake in essence had already loaded in the sounds it needed, then loaded in the sounds for the mods, and in the process, wrote over earlier precached sound files, so the game could no longer find them. The reason it was happening in single player is that there needed to be more sounds loaded in memory for monsters on the maps that weren't there for deathmatch. I haven't worked in the engine code very much at this point, only having browsed it a bit, but I'm thinking this is what has happened and that there is probably a way to deal with it, though I don't know at the moment, what that is. <smile> Anyway, the practical upshot of all this is that even if I write mods only for deathmatch, it's just a matter of time (and a fairly short amount of time, I might add) before we run into the same sort of issue, with maps not being able to load sounds they need for ambience and such. So I'd kind of like to figure this out as soon as I can. Now, having said this, this doesn't stop mods being written that don't use new sounds. This seems to be just a memory allocation issue. So on that end, things are cool. The second thing I wanted to mention, which segways really well, <smile> is that I'm working on making the bots a little more intense to play against, so hopefully they'll be a little more difficult to beat! <smile> Anyway, thanks for the notes and have an awesome day!...
