hey guys i donloaded another quake 3 arena map to play on open arena but it has a read me that says            !!! READ THIS!!!

This map needs more resources than the original Quake 3 maps. So you have to free more memory for the game.
Otherwise you get the "hunc_allocate failed at xxxxx" error.

To do this, start the game, open the console with "^" and press backspace (<-) 2 times.
Then type "/seta com_hunkmegs 100" and press enter, then restart the game. THAT's IT!

An alternative way:
you could also open the q3config.cfg filen in ...\Quake III Arena\baseq3 with your texteditor,
and search for "com_hunkmegs" (should be one of the last lines), then set the value there.

Could ne1 please tell me how to change this value in open arena? cause this map is really awesome(saw vid of it on youtube) and wanted to play. Thanks guys!

Moonstone map ? Wink
Add a parameter to the command line you use to run OA.

+set com_hunkmegs 128

Otherwise, the command working for Q3 also works with OA, so follow the same guidelines.

Find the key to bring the console down, it can be ² or ~ or ! (or something else, try any keyboard key when OA is launched)
It depends of the operating system, keyboard layout, version of OA, and binds made inside OA, so I can't be sure
