Common Issues

My screen is blank when I open Warfork

This generally means your video card cannot run Warfork with its default configuration settings. The following solutions may fix this problem:

1. Add the following to game properties in Steam: +exec profiles/ultralow
2. Update your video card drivers

The game won't display on any of my screens

Try checking the config file in your documents folder, and search for this line seta vid_multiscreen_head . If it is set to "-1" then you will want to try changing it to 1 or 2 based on what is your main monitor.

I'm seeing "pure check failed" when a server I connect to attempts to download a map.

There are multiple reasons why pure check could fail. This error message means the file on client's PC doesn't match with server's.
The following solutions may fix this problem:

1. Add +set fs_usehomedir 0 to Warfork's launch options on Steam.
2. Remove all downloaded files. More information can be found here.
3. (Server admin only) Disable sv_pure (Not recommended on public servers)

How do I make my own map?

You use a tool called NetRadiant. Most tutorials for Warsow, Quake 3, and GTKRadiant will be extremely similar. The Warfork files you need for NetRadiant can be found here - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/611741789237411850/659512520553267201/netradiant_warfork_gamepack.zip https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/NetRadiant https://github.com/xonotic/xonotic/wiki/Netradiant http://ingar.intranifty.net/gtkradiant/ https://slice.sh/warsow/oldwiki/IndexDocument.html - In the Development section there are some relevant pages https://ws.q3df.org/level_design/ - Very detailed tutorial for quake 3 map-making

Is there a way to set chat binds?

bind f say_team blablabla /bind f say blablabla / bind f vsay goodgame blablabla / bind f vsay_team goodgame blablabla / you can bind the voicemessages somewhere in the menu might be that you need to put quotes around the actual command (like bind f "say_team blablabla")

For some reason the players all turn the textures black around them when they are near me.

Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/OgOaWMu.png Hm, so turns out it's not just one server. So far the only servers I've had the issue on have been FFA ones. Here's another example: https://i.imgur.com/8PirdXl.png
