How do you run more than one Game session on a single server

Post by coffeenet »

Hi,
Can a single server accommodate more than just one Game session of Quake3/ioquake3?
If so, how?

Cheers!

Yes it can. Just start multiple instances of Quake 3 running as dedicated server and have each instance run on its own port number, which is configurable through the net_port cvar

Thank you. But, what I actually meant to ask was how do you start more than one instant at the same time using the command line in linux?
