Quake3World

I know how to get the server up and running but i want to add and take away things in it. I want to set up a Hook and Rail server but not sure how to do it?

I want to set up one like this one:
59.140.219.166 27960

Its just Hook and rail and on one map (Q3DM17) if you fall you dont die, That one has a camper thing set up where if you sit for 7 seconds you die, I dont want that, Also if someone isnt in there, theres 2 bots fightin it out and if one person joins one bot goes away but if 2 peaple are there both bots leave.

How can i set up something like that?

Ive been playing this game for a lng time and now i want to start my own server.

I did get this OSP or soemthing program but no idea how to use it or if i even should lol

Also my server isnt showing up in the List on Online servers

Thanks in advance for the help

create a quake3 shortcut and edit the properties of your shortcut to be like this
...i'm assuming you used the default installation directory...

"C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +fs_game osp +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game osp +exec instagib.cfg

create a file called instagib.cfg ..put it in the baseq3 directory and osp folder.
place this inside instagib.cfg[/b]

seta bot_enable 0
set server_ospauth 1
set sv_hostname "Cold Dark Shadow Instagib Server"
set sv_allowdownload 0
set sv_floodprotect 0
set sv_maxclients 10 //how many players
set sv_pure 1
set hook_enable 1 //enable hook
// rcon/Referee password
set rconPassword "manytypos" //change your admin password
set ref_password "oogabooga " //change password for referees
// Mode config settings
set match_instagib 1
set server_availmodes 63
set g_gametype 0 //instagib mode
set mode_start 0
// Map settings
set map_file "cfg-maps/ffamaps.cfg"
map q3dm17

edit the files in the osp/cfg-maps/ffamaps.cfg
and delete all except the part about q3dm17.
just have this inside ffamaps.cfg

q3dm17 04 99

Cool thanks for the help

When i clicked ont he shortcut to run it i got this:

edited my shortcut ... try that

"C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set fs_game osp +set dedicated 2 +exec instagib.cfg

make sure that osp is in the quake3 folder not baseq3

add this to the instagib.cfg

edited the instagib.cfg and added this line
seta bot_enable 0

use osp 1.03a and make sure you are using pointrelease 1.32

osp 1.03a
http://www.planetquake3.net/download.ph ... d&lid=1407

cool its workin now but when i enter i get booted lol

did you download the osp files i linked to you or are you just using the osp server files?

osp 1.03a
http://www.planetquake3.net/download.ph ... d&lid=1407

enable autodownload if that does not work

we were all noob's once

shit, no i didnt. Ill do that now


Does everyone have to have those files to play on it? If so is there a way to set up a server and edit stuff without it?

What id like to do is set one up to run 24/7 so it shows up in the internet list so anyone can play on it

all you ned to do is change the instagib.cfg and ffmaps.cfg and your server settings like maxplayers and a few others i included in instagib.cfg
if they want to play on your server all they need is OSP "most everyone has OSP "

change this command in your instagib.cfg and your server will upload all the files they need to play on your server if they don't have OSP.

set sv_allowdownload 1

if you do what i've shown you your server will be seen 24/7

Ok here we go again, sorry if im im retarded lol, i just really want to get a server working. Always wanted to start one.

I downloaded the osp 1.03a
clicked on the short cut the the modified location
It started up but i got this:

i did everything i suggested and i succesfully made a server with no troubles.

try this.

create a file called instagib.bat and place this text in instagib.bat

quake3.exe +fs_game osp +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game osp +exec instagib.cfg

place instagib.bat in the same folder as quake3.exe

doubleclick instagib.bat and the server should load.

then start another instance of quake3 and join your server

just to be sure.

your using quake3 version 1.32 ?

you have installed osp1.03a properly?

instagib.cfg is in your baseq3 directory?

you have placed all the commands i posted above about instagib.cfg?
do it again because i made revisions earlier.

OK i redid everyting and got it now so i can get in, but theres no hook, and i dei when i go off the edge. Other then at its workin

did you bind a button to hook ..try

bind mouse2 +button5

I tried a bind and it didnt work, I was messing with the setup thing and got it to


Is there was way to set up a server without the 1.32 points release? Everyone i play with uses the "stock" Q3A setup, no upgrades.

What makes a server you create kick you after just a couple seconds in it?

Is the OSP thing the only way to go?

1.32 isn't an upgrade, it's a patch. If you run a server without it, anyone can come onto the server and cause trouble for you, because there are unpatched vulnerabilities in older versions of the game.

By all means, you can do so, but for the most part we can't support those servers here if they go wrong, because they behave oddly.

osp is not the only way to, go there are a ton of instagib mods.
check google
i'm just an osp fan because it's simply the best mod to run a server.

dude ,get 1.32 pointrelease or else i will hop on your server,cheat
and i can also crash your server . it's very easy to do

i have 1.32, but everyone i play with soesnt want to get it

you say that stuff is easy to do, how?

cheating is very very easy to do prior to 1.32

there could be many reasons for not upgrading to 1.32.
either they hate punkbusters,they cheat,they prefer the old version or they didn't buy the game.

if you want cheaters don't upgrade.

i won't tell you how to cheat.

convince them to, it's worth it.

there were a lot of ways to cheat in the original quake 3. for most cheaters that meant downloading a program that let them see through walls or aimed for them. use that as an argument to convince your friends.

until you've all got the default game running the latest version (1.32), don't worry about mods.

i was just curious, not "how" to do it, but how they can do, like is it console commands or stuff like that, I dont like cheating, theres no skill in it.

I did notice tho on the 1.32 that i didnt like the look of the hook and there was some other visual stuff i didnt like but the most part the game play was the same.

Also, whenever i load up quake everything is really dark and i have to reset the default everytime i load the game up

type that in the console
r_ignorehwgamma 1

if that doesn't work type
r_ignorehwgamma 0
