server/map making

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 8:31 pm

i have never made a server for me and my friends to play on before (it is called server right? didnt know what to call this thread :icon1: ) I was just wondering if any1 could explain in newbie language how to go about making a server, preferably q3dm17 and all rail, cos theres no gd-ens i can find lately and it would be much easier having a reliable server to play on with all me mates

Thnx in advance

If you want a full detailed explanation, and a nice server config for a DM17 all rail w/railjumping etc, PM me, so I know weather or not to type it all out

Bah i'll do it anyways:

Step 1: Find and download "InstaUnlagged 1.2 Beta" (Click here) Extract the mod files into a folder named "IU1.2Beta", and place that folder in the quake 3 directory)

Create a shortcut to quake3.exe and right click

properties. In the command line text ox add this to the end of "...quake3.exe" including a space in the front:

Code: Select all

+set dedicated 2 +set fs_game IU1.2Beta +exec "server.cfg" +map q3dm17

Next create a.cfg file (Make a .txt file and rename the extesion to .cfg) and name it server.cfg. Place said cfg file in the IU1.2Beta folder (That should be the name of the folder where pak0.pk3 for Iu 1.2 Beta is)

Paste this into the .cfg file:

Code: Select all

Of course you can play around with those settings. I have a ctf config if you want it too, one that is a proper one, that allows no team join limit etc.

I think I covered it all, just double click the shortcut you made now and give your ip to your friends to connect to!

Oh and remember this config is for 1.2 Beta, make sure you find it, or this config probably won't work :icon25:

help please.....
thnx in advance

Post by **Lenard** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:12 am

Then you have to join the server... Start up q3 normally and look for Local games.

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:13 am

ok...........

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:44 am

thanks in advance

you doing this for a lan or for the intardnet?

Post by **Lenard** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:20 am

You made a dedicated server, that is all. You need to actually run quake if YOU want to play in it. You successfully ran a server but if you want to play in it on your machine you need to run quake again and then join it.

Post by **Bacon** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:34 am

Crinkley, make sure what I put is in your command line, then start up quake, go to the console [~] and type

/connect 127.0.0.1

You should have the server running [The pic you showed me] then MINIMISE that and go into quake AGAIN, but the normal way, then do what I said above. :icon26:

why would he need insta unlagged? been awhile since i dinked with a q3 server...

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 11:54 am

ok, well i think i got it up, but how do i edit it so its all rail, and does it have to be instaunlagged or can i change it to something like osp, cos my controls are slightly different and my name shows all the code (like ff0000) instead of the name in insta unlagged,

thnx in advance again

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 1:51 pm

to make it all rail and one shot kill would i need one of the instagibplus mods from here?
http://www.planetquake.com/instagibplus/
if i do which one is it?
if i dont, then what do i need if anything?

help appreciated

Post by **Bacon** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:38 pm

Yeah you can make an osp server thats instagib, however, people with higher ping wont have as much fun if it was unlagged. I can give you an FFA config for osp, with only the railgun enabled.

oh please, that would be great ma main man bacon :icon14:

I would be ever in debt to your holiness.

whatever happened to that program that let you select everything you wanted and it sets it up for you. i havnt seen it for years.

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 9:56 pm

well Bacon pm'ed me the config but when i tried to enter my server it said

'mis-typed cd_key?'

its still a mystery why... (yes i did by quake so it is a correct cd key!)

erm.. do i do this in the config? cos i had a look and there is nothing in there saying:

'sv_strictauth [number]'

or do i have to add it?

That comes with OSP. In the OSP file it is called configgenerator.exe I believe. It is the picture of the blender.
