Dedicated Server Guide

[Qr7]

Perhaps we can compile all dedicated server info / cfgs in one place?

... and then maybe sticky it if people actually contribute?


PS. What ports does quake 4 use as a dedicated server (connecting to the master server, pb, ect?)

Command line

Quake4Ded.exe +set net_ip 66.66.666.666 +exec server.cfg

Mp cfg is already generate for you drop all this in the base directory

*prints server cfg for later viewing.*

Question though. Where did you get the info for the server cfg?

Did it come with the game? Do you have a site you got this info from?
Did you convert a D3 cfg to Q4?

Just curious
