excessive dawn

I have the same problem.
The important point from my perspective is that I only use the Quake3e.exe and run it as fs_game baseq3 or OSP. In that case it is not possible to chnage the color of the rail.

Read docs/client.txt about [b]color [colorstring][/b][quote]
colorstring is a 5 char-length string, where

1st char - rail rings color
2nd char - head color
3rd char - torso color
4th char - legs color
5th char - rail core color

i.e. "\color 12224" will set red railrings, green head/torso/legs and blue railcore

For some reason, my railgun beam is allways white no matter what color I set in the menu. However, when using Ioquake3, I can change colors, so it's not a mod issue (I guess).

How can I change the rail color?
