You should be able to join a regular WW server, (non-TEST) with your current install. (Maybe you just need to request a link to the test files from Hewster?)
I wonder ... do you have autodownload turned on in the
options, if so, then you may have had problems the other
night, this is because I had not setup my server properly !!
It would be best to turn off autodownload, as when a server
is not setup to allow autodownload, then problems can arise.
Re: How do I get mp_bin01.pk3?
that could have been it because it gave me a message that the server didnt allow downloads when it tried to download the file it said i was missing. i will turn off the auto download thing.

I downloaded all the versions and connected to where Ican servers okay. I saw only 2 servers (games) with no one in them. I was able to enter 'Trouble at the Old Mine' okay. However, I was unable to break into the mine with X or G on the key board. Is there a different key?
Also, the other server (listed as Harmonica) said I didn't have the right map.
Is this all the servers there are? I want play too (lol)
To get into the Mine you have to be a Bandit Miner & plant

We are working VERY hard on a major update to WildWest,
namley version 1.5, which is stage beta3 at the moment.
This is the reason why you cannot join the other server, as it
is running the beta version for test purposes.
We hope to be going public with 1.5 very soon (see the
web-site for info on what has been changed & added)
I expect there will be a surge in servers and players soon
after we release, as I and others will be pimping the mod
in many areas, from PC mags to gaming sites & forums.
I truly hope to have this version ready within 2 weeks,
so, keep keep your eye out of announcments on our web-site.
