Quake3World

I'm trying to launch a dedicated server. Note that I've installed all the updates (v1.32) and I'm using the following command string: +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27970 +com_hunkMegs 50

This is what I get:

What do I do from here?

I don't see at the end of your command line the server cfg?

Souldn't you be executing that at the end of your command line?

Something like :+exec server.cfg server.cfg being named
whatever your cfg is named.

yes that is most definately from no cfg being exec'd.

Nah. 32 MB should be enough unless you're hosting gargantuan maps. Dedicated servers only need to load the BSP, not any of the other game assets (models, textures, etc.).

How do I find out whatmy cfg file is named?

Linux? `ps` and `top` have the nasty habit of adding the shared libraries (which might be used by more than one program) to the reported memory footprint. Utilities like `memstat` give a fairer representation.
