well i have come to the conclusion that the master server is just screwd up and if i want my server to stay refreshing quick i need a way to have it be dropped from the server list completly, then be re added(so it comes up again). is there a way to have it stop sending heartbeats or having any cont...

the server sends a heartbeat to authorize.quake3arena.com, so i added that as a master server But it's not so that's effectively useless. cl_maxping is a client cvar, you can't control it from the server. So what does authorize.quake3arena.com do? is it like a cd-key check server? and just to clari...

thanks for the reply. Do i put this in the servers config or my own pc. if this only makes the server come up on my computer, then it would be kind of usless because i would be the only one who would see it. Thanks EDIT: well i put this in my own pc (not the server) and the server came up in like a ...

EDIT: here is what more info i found out: if i quickly quit and restart the server, it doesn't quickly show up on the server list, i need to wait a while then restart if i want the server to temporarily show up quickly again. another thing i noticed is that whenever i wait, the server sends a heartb...

here is pretty much what happens: 1) i reboot my pc and start a q3 dedicated server 2) server instantly comes up on the server list 3) after about a half hour server drops to about 100th position, but it still comes up quick 4) wait another hour and server drops to 250th postion, which takes a littl...

yes, it automatically resends a heartbeat every half hour or so, and it doesn't seem to help the server come up faster

is there any way i can get my server to come up faster on the ingame server browser? i have used the search on this website and the only answer i have found is to use an alternative game search engine, but is there any tweaks i can use to make it show up faster in the in-game browser?

thanks

server has been on for the past 8 hours, and it is still not showing up in the interent games list.

any ideas?

ok, i'lll make sure to check the quotes. i will also wait an hour, but it thought that it would show up on the list as soon as it gave the server a heartbeat.

I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out how to get my dedicated linux server to show up on the in-game online server list :icon23: . people can connect to my server by typing in /connect x.x.x.x (my ip of course) and it works great, but i would really like this server to show up on the ga...
