So I haven't played RTCW in about 14 years. Recently got the steam version.

What are some server IPs that are still running with real people? I found an East Coast DM server, but that's the only one so far. If there is a specific time and place that people play that would be nice to know.

I used to run a script that made everything a lot brighter, made the crosshair a dot, etc. But I have since lost the script. Is there a place where scripts can be downloaded?

Maps...maps aren't autodownloading from servers. And map pak installer exe doesn't recognize the steam version of RTCW? So having trouble getting even common maps like chateau and frostbite. Maybe there is a place where I can d/l the various .pk3 files and just throw them in my directory?

Also, I see this RTCWPro mod is out... are most people playing on that instead of 1.4?

The Discord link on the left side of planet-rtcw gives me an error.

"Invite Invalid. This invite may be expired or you might not have permission to join"

I can join the EU channel, but it won't let me chat.

Where is mIRC when you need it?!!

It's the same link as I posted above, so you're good
