The affinity of people for multi-games is not a bad thing.

The bad thing is ignorance leading finally in useless stuff as long as the same content is created but having different "internals".

Proudly introducing TEXTURE FILE <Quake3.utx> known or unknown in... 3 sh!t forms making maps to run or NOT, depending on texture loaded - contains 64×256, 128×256 textures resolutions so... eh.
Real facts goes bellow >
Map DM-Ort0900.unr requires one form of this texture.
Map DM-Nasii.unr requires a different one (aprox. 14MB) not very available for download.
Whatever MH more or less retarded MH Level requires another kind of Quake3.utx texture because I found a different file in a sort of "Massive MH collection".

Given occurences and because somehow ALL these maps could not run together due to different internal textures and groups, I have merged their content into a common one supposed for compatibility with fore-mentioned Levels. This master Texture has now 20.1 MB else null things being called will only crash servers and/or local games won't run.

Stuff being bigger and because I want to show you evidences I have uploaded them elsewhere and you can adjust/fix things if aren't properly set. Link goes bellow:

Edit: These 2 DM maps I found into some signature repository shared here having incomplete content pretty unplayable. Sharing reason is unknown by me + other sort of NO map with 1 PlayerStart - you can flush that toillete.

Edit2: If you know another version of such thing (share it, please) then we have to reconstruct an almighty compatible texture for all maps calling that UTX file.

Continuing the scan (it wasn't the goal but... I have usually such a luck):

Music file: mismatch less harmfull for servers (won't crash but other music will run from a server to another)
Seti.umx one is a normal music, other one has an over volumed sort of music having nothing in common with Level which I found running it. Admin job: "pick a turtle".

Texture file:
a3text.utx In order to run all those "maps" build with different version of such texture you have to use a mixed one else nasty things will occur... Admin job: Use the mix or enjoy consequences.

Link from first post has been updated.

Post all Quake3.utx you find, maybe we can make a compiled file that's network compatible with at least one of the previous ones, which makes all maps run.

Attaching for reference some other mismatched files that have caused problems for me in the past.

I have mixed those with problems and I have tested maps which were previously running only with their texture. Now they are working with that mixed Quake3.utx - 20MB file without problem. Textures found by me are located in link above but I will complete them if I'll see "news". I don't look for them in purpose but if something nasty hits me then I'll try to deal with that.

//Little out of subject: I can show you those maps - little adjusted (Bot Pathing, Inventory tunning, Little light tunning, Some Zone, etc.) The rest of stuff is unchanged. Now these 2 maps can run together with that mixed texture without problems. See bellow... confirmation.
These are only maps, if another file is missing, let me know in order to update that.
//End of out Subject
I guess there are more such cute things to solve... I'll post them if I'll find others.

So the newest is Quake3.utx3.7z ?

No, it's the biggest simple Quake3.7z. The rest 1,2,3 are resources for mixing. Allright, I have renamed it to Quake3_Mixed_Fix.7z

I understand frustration of mismatch, but that's not a big problem after all. The problem comes when content implemented in files is DIFFERENT. If Seti.umx won't hurt server, for sure a bad texture might crash unexpected.
Let's see:
1- call TexturePack1.Texture10
2- call TexturePack2.LastTexture5
Using Second pack with LastTexture5 in a map build with First pack, map will look garbled with some default texture or even might crash instantly - as in case from above description. You can download those 2 maps, and try one by one all those <Quake3.utx>, see what I mean.

The rest of <Spinner> <BPak> etc. by example, admins can use any of them. If another version has been released improved-fixed, it can be used too and nobody will get hurt after all. Player with Non-Stock stuff loaded is a problem for himself/herself because these kinda greed-for-files habit is not healthy. However problem is solved if we keep cache forever and ONLY cache without "on-fly" travels from a server to another without cleaning/restarting game.

Back to Textures chapter I'll copy the list and I'll look into stuff trying to gain master mixed textures to prevent crashes or garbled results in game.

Edit:
I have performed a check to texture Citytex.utx
1 - A version texture has 939,520 bytes;
2 - The second texture has 1,292,670 bytes - so this one has something new.
The difference between 2 of them: n_brick1, n_brick2, n_brick3, n_brick4. So the bigger file has more stuff - That is recommended to prevent missing stupid n_brickX brain-farts added later.

Edit2: As for the rest of MH specific stuff - said U files, perhaps I'll rebuild myself FIXED ones because those "new" shit creatures have nothing fixed - I repeat NOTHING: They have TacticalMove errors, CanFireAtEnemy, SeenPlayer works through movers ON-Line, Attitude is crap + the rest of self bump attack with 0 changes. New mesh and skin + new bugs aren't fascinating me... so if we talk about crappy U files then expect news a la 2015...

There is much more than that. I'd say probably around 500 or more.
