Got everything working, finally.

For future reference, be sure to create a server.cfg file.
Using a q3config.cfg file does nothing, and its ignored, even if you used the "+exec q3config.cfg" on the command line. GRRRRRR.

Crap, so I bought a copy when I didnt need it after all. I just want to run a demo server, with the 3 demo maps, where people can connect using the demo client. I was getting timelimit errors on the server and I figured there was a timelimit for how long you could run the demo server or something. O...

Ok I bought a copy of quake arena. Now I can copy the real pak files to the baseq3 directory. I can start the server, but when I try to connect using my demo client I get "wrong password" Whats going on? I want to setup a dedicated server, that only runs the demo levels so people can try i...

Wish I could buy a key and download it somewhere instead.

I struck out. No one seems to have the Quake trilogy pack anymore :icon23:
Ill have to order online or ebay or something. Hate waiting.

Nice! Thanks dude! Heading to walmart now :icon25:

Thats the impression I got. Time to run to walmart and get the quake trilogy for $20


Anyone know where I can get a scoreboard for quake arena? perl based maybe?

This is what puzzles me, during the startup is seems to find pak0.pk3 and tells me how many files it containts, but later in the startup it complains it cant find maps/q3dm1.bsp Q3 1.32b linux-i386 Nov 14 2002 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/jjj/.q3a/baseq3 /home/jjj/q/baseq3/pak8....

UGH....more problems :icon23: So I can get verison 1.11 to work fine. But I want to patch it to 32c so close the security hole. However, no matter what I try, once I patch it, it never works again. Ive tried moving my pak0.pk3 files to the baseq3 directory but when I run the "mapq3dm1" com...

Holy crap I feel like a total idiot! I didnt realize it was sitting there waiting for me to type something! A prompt of somekind would have been nice! LMAO I typed "map q3dm1" and it loaded it and ran fine YES! THANKS MAN!! Start the game with "+set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (repla...

I have found multiple quake arena linux demo distributions.
1.11, 1.13, all the way up to 1.30

Are the higher numbers patches to the original 1.11 version?

Ok... after much work.... I try to start my server and get this: [root@poopy q3demo]# ./q3ded Q3 1.11 linux-i386 Dec 4 1999 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /root/.q3a/baseq3 ./baseq3 ---------------------- Running in restricted demo mode. ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /root...

Crap, reading some directions and its talking about the GRAPHICAL installer.... I only have shell access to the box.

Wow, that was fast, THANKS!!

Just found the quake 3 demo server, will try running that first and go from there. I definitely want to setup a demo server, so my buddies dont have to purchase a full client just to play a few levels.

Ok, so I rent a fully dedicated linux CentOS server for some websites and want to run a quake arena server on it occassionally. I have no idea if the box has a graphics card in it. If not, till do-able? I dont not have physical access to the box. I noticed you need to buy a copy of quake area to run...
