it probably means that the default "connect" string used by q3fill is not enough for the game/mod in use on that server.
so you must add the missing parameters with the -m string.
but it's also possible that your IP has been banned or something similar.
I have seen that there are no traces about the method to collect the "connect" string of the game client so I decide to post here the whole step-by-step:
- download the "Quake 3 engine testing server" tool:
http://aluigi.org/testz/q3ts.zip - double-click on the q3ts executable, it will be launched immediately
- start your game as usual
- join the server located at the address 127.0.0.1 on port 27960
it's enough to enable the console with the ~ key or in some games shift+~ and typing:
connect 127.0.0.1:27960
the alternative is launching the game executable with the addition of the argument: +connect 127.0.0.1:27960 - now in q3ts will be displayed some data like the following:
Code:
Binding UDP port 27960
Waiting clients
127.0.0.1:27961 = GETCHALLENGE
127.0.0.1:27961 = CONNECT:

so the connect string is:
Quote:
"\challenge\1234567890\qport\23295\protocol\68\cl_guid\ABEB3F63F6B37C350BAB54FE357580AF\name\UnnamedPlayer\rate\3000\snaps\20\model\biker/default\headmodel\sarge\team_model\james\team_headmodel\*james\color1\4\color2\5\handicap\100\sex\male\cl_anonymous\0\cl_punkbuster\0\cg_predictItems\1\teamtask\0"
- now launch q3fill adding the -m option and that whole string like the following example:
Code:
q3fill -m "\challenge\1234567890\qport\23295\protocol\68\cl_guid\ABEB3F63F6B37C350BAB54FE357580AF\name\UnnamedPlayer\rate\3000\snaps\20\model\biker/default\headmodel\sarge\team_model\james\team_headmodel\*james\color1\4\color2\5\handicap\100\sex\male\cl_anonymous\0\cl_punkbuster\0\cg_predictItems\1\teamtask\0" SERVER PORT
it's really very easy
