Rocket Arena Server Question

[kenzo42]

Everytime I run RA1.7 w/ RA3_server.bat, the console just hangs. Can someone interpret what might be wrong? Thanks.

That would appear to be a correctly started ra3 server.

Were you trying to start a server? Or do you want to PLAY ra3?

[kenzo42]

I'm trying to start a listen server. It just stays at the blue console w/ no RA3 start up.

Can RA3 be set up as a listen server? I assumed it could. I thought another player w/ my IP could just connect to me w/ RA3, just like in regular Q3 multiplayer mode (assuming they have RA3 installed)?

Thanks.

[creep]

Ok... make a copy of ra3_server.bat.
Rename it to ra3_listen.bat
Now open it in notepad, find "dedicated 2" and change it to "dedicated 0"
Save and close.
Run ra3_listen.bat

[creep]

Or make a desktop shortcut that runs

quake3.exe +set fs_game arena +set vm_game 0 +set sv_pure 1 +set bot_enable 0 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set dedicated 0 +set net_port 27960 +exec server.cfg

Creep,you seem to really know your stuff.

Now RA3 starts, but it hangs at "Connecting to local host". Any idea?

[creep]

Dunno... it works for me. It does pause for a second at connecting to localhost.. only about 1 second on my machine... maybe wait longer.

[kenzo42]

Creep, are you using the 1.32 point release + 1.32cwin update (where u replace the quake3.exe)?

Are you using RA 1.76?

[kenzo42]

OK, got it to work. I didn't realize, but I was using the 1.7 server files. Not the 1.76. Me=idiot.

Now, whenever someone tries to join, they get "mistyped cdkey".

They del'd the q3key file in the baseq3 folder w/ no avail. Any ideas?

This is somewhat of a bug where the authentication server is slow to respond and the game server thinks your copy of the game is warezed. Pull down the console and type "/timescale 100" (sans quotes) and reconnect, that usually remedies it.
