Hi All, just some random question i got playing OA and setting up a server

** I use Windows XP **

1) is there a way to avoid the super-blue-brightness effect that starts with the game ?
2) How can I run the openarena.exe in background (since I'm serving a game)
3) is there a way to terminate (an HOTKEY for example) the openarena.exe I'm using as a server (without using taskman) ?
4) i often receive yellow warning messages of missing sounds or others ... could those messages be avoided (just hiding em) ??

thanks guys, I'm still a q3 / OA noob so just keep doin stupid questions Cheesy

I can't answer you correctly because I'm not sure of everything but meanwhile :

1) That's strange coz I don't see anymore this screen ...
2) use oa_ded.[Huh].exe Smiley
3) don't worry to shut it down not properly, you could try to build some kind of shortcut with a kill command if you really care. I'm not sure there is a simple and proper way to close it. (that could be a suggestion of feature in next versions, though)
4) I'm not sure you can hide these messages, why do you mind reading logs ? :] Do they visually bother you while playing ? (I don't have these kind of messages appearing ...). The goal of OA development is to reduce them, so the other solution is to be patient Wink

It's only because of a map which tries to load some music OA doesn't have, this isn't like it was affecting gameplay ...
Just replace the ressource with one you like Wink
Where do these error appear ? You know, it's just common to log everything, it helps debugging and sometimes helps the player to point out a problem, so if you don't have any problem except these message appearing, that should be fine ...

I'm using custom maps and models (and bots) so often I receive messages that I don't need to read in yellow and read form, so I wanted to clean the on-game log, that's all Wink
