Server Config + Website Monitor (updated for 1.2 patch)

[slackX]

Great cfg/template thx

Here is a .pl script I've rewritten which will monitor quake 4 servers using qstat on your web server. I threw it together rather quickly today for someone who was needing it, so please consider it a work in progress.

This script was derived from the late q3mon/qsmon and has now progressed into a full-fledged server monitor & browser.

Live Example (browser & monitor):


Server Monitor Only Example -- For those who only need q4mon to display the status of their server(s):
http://www.qxmon.net/q4mon-spy.pl

You can download the latest version here:
http://www.dev1ance.net/download/

The official $0.10 Readme file: here

- si_tv (q4tv) info added to both browser and spy
- Updated code for compatibility with qstat 2.11.
- Spy now reads, calculates, sorts then displays additional player info (scores, team, status) given to it by q4max mod. gg q4max.

- Added si_fps info in spy
- Some new eyecandy here n there

Very nice thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to ask. Should I put a server.cfg in q4base folder or does it go in idsoftware/Quake4 directory? Thanks for the help.

[Bueller]

My question is has anyone verified how to make the server not repeat each map twice? I see a couple possibilities in the map.cfg but not sure.

[nightwing]

Forwarded necessary ports but my server is still not showing on the gamebrowser list (public)

[Qr7]

I believe the in game broswer is limited to 1000 servers. So dont be alarmed if it doesn't show up. Ever since the total number of servers became greater than 1000, i haven't seen my server listed at all, but people ARE playing there so i knwo its showing up for someone.

If you wanna play on your server and its not in the list, just bring down the console and "connect IP.IP.IP.IP"

[nightwing]

Thank you Qr7 and riddla for your help.

riddla,

I also have an autoexec in the q4base directory. Should I take off the server commands that I already have in there and use the server.cfg instead?

Thanks for your patience guys.

[DrWho]

if anyone compiles the win version of q4mon, please let me know.
i am stumped....

[Bueller]

Ok, so if I wanted to add a map like q4dm17 (or whatever its called) to the map rotation and also only have DM maps in rotation and each map only plays 1 time per rotation...it would be something like this?

/*
map cycling script sample - select with g_mapCycle

the script is purged and reloaded at each map restart
which happens on map change, but also when hitting GAMEON
for persistance, you need to use the {get,set}Persistant functions

files with .scriptcfg extension can be loaded outside of pure paks

[Bueller]

Also, if I'm not concerned about getting real involved with the map cycle would it be possible to not use the map script and just use:

//===========
// MAPCYCLING
//===========
seta si_gameType "DM" //gametype
seta si_map "mp/q4dm1" //start with map
seta g_mapCycle "mp/q4dm3;mp/q4dm6;mp/q4dm7;mp/q4dm8" //map rotation

[Bueller]

I doubt it.

What about my previous reply?

[Bueller]

I dunno, can you edit it and make the changed parts a diff color?

2 locations I changed are green above. My bad. ;-)

[GODLIKE]

So far as I know, there's no q4dm17... "The Longest Day" which looks like dm17 is q4dm8.

:icon26:

[clkou]

I have a ClanServers.Com server and I've got everything to work except rcon. In their config file, they had:

net_serverRemoteConsolePassword "rcon pass here" //change this!

Your file has:

seta net_serverRemoteConsolePassword "rcon pass here" //change this!

I tried both of those plus:

set net_serverRemoteConsolePassword "rcon pass here" //change this!

Nothing works. In the game console, I type:

rcon MyRconPassword

and it says bad rcon

am I using rcon wrong? What else might it be?

[axbaby]

random ideas with bad guesses
try rcon then your ip then password if q4 is like q3 with remote rcon.

try set rcon password with no quotes

set rcon password in your q4config.cfg

[clkou]

Well, I'm actually on the server where I have rcon when I'm trying rcon. Do I still have to type in the IP even in that situation?

[axbaby]

Well, I'm actually on the server where I have rcon when I'm trying rcon. Do I still have to type in the IP even in that situation?

doubt it .. i'm having trouble with rcon as well
rcon works and the commands get changed but they don't seem to really take effect.
i'm thinking it's because the game i tested was started via quake4 menu and not quake4 dedicated shortcut and server.cfg

[Bueller]

Also, if I'm not concerned about getting real involved with the map cycle would it be possible to not use the map script and just use:

//===========
// MAPCYCLING
//===========
seta si_gameType "DM" //gametype
seta si_map "mp/q4dm1" //start with map
seta g_mapCycle "mp/q4dm3;mp/q4dm6;mp/q4dm7;mp/q4dm8" //map rotation

I'm seeing servers on ASE (allows u to view server.cfg in window) and ther aren't using that script for map rotation. They are just listing maps like: seta g_mapCycle "mp/q4dm3;mp/q4dm6;mp/q4dm7;mp/q4dm8"

Something to test for sure.

[PieceMaker]

If anyones interested http://www.game-monitor.com supports Quake4.

Quake4World (Official Server)

Looks like http://www.serverspy.net is in the middle of configuring
for Quake4 support. But no server are showing up yet. I'll edit this post
when they do support it.

I like using a clickable link for the server I play on. Simply posting
I'm here -------->Quake4World (Official Server)

Coo Piece, thanks. :icon14:

[bigwest]

Has anyone managed to get the autodownload setting to work?

I've got a custom map on my server but I can get clients to download the map from a URL.

heres what I have at the moment

set net_clientDownload "1"
set net_serverdownload "2"
set si_serverURL "http://bigwest.f2s.com/"
set net_serverDlBaseURL "http://bigwest.f2s.com/"
set net_serverDlTable "q4base/bliptourney1.pk4"

It asks if you would like to download the file, then says download failed.


http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/AutoDownload

I used this site for the commands.

[bigwest]

net_serverdownload does work even though its not in the q4 cvar,

"seta net_clientDownload "2" //pk4 download policy 0=none 1=send to DL location 2=present client with available files" - That does not work.

[Hex]

for the g_mapCycle questions:

si_mapCycle "mp/q4dm1;mp/q4dm2;mp/q4dm3;"
will cycle those three maps

g_mapCycle "yourcycle" will use the 'yourcycle.scriptcfg' in your q4base.

If use si_mapCycle, g_mapCycle does nothing as far as my testing has shown.

If use g_mapcycle, then include
si_mapcycle ""
in your config to set it null...

[R00k]

Thanks. :icon14:

[Hex]

for the rcon question

in server.cfg have
set net_serverRemoteConsolePassword "rconpass"

then on client.cfg have
set net_clientRemoteConsolePassword "rconpass"

then at client console (while connected to server) type
rcon <command>
no password needed


edit: removed unnecessary = sign. thanks riddla
