The Dedicated Server
If you'd like to run a dedicated server you can simply create the same type of config and make a shortcut on your desktop to start the server. Right-click on your desktop, and then click New->Shortcut, and map to your quake3.exe file. Now that you have your new Quake3.exe shortcut on your desktop, we can now add our options. Right click your new shortcut and click on "Properties". On the Shortcut tab you should have something like this: "C:Quake III ArenaQuake3.exe" Now what we need to do for a dedicated server is add some command line parameters. Here are the ones I am using on my server: "C:Quake III ArenaQuake3.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27970 +com_hunkMegs 50 +exec ffa.cfg What this is doing is setting it to dedicated 2, where it's reporting to id master, setting my port manually to a port and not the default, setting my memory dedicated to Q3 to 50, and then finally executing my ffa.cfg file. You'll notice the quotes around the shortcut area, this is one of Windows' many quirks; for Windows to understand long file names with spaces and such, you need to leave them in. If you try and put the commands in there it will think that it's a Windows executable and say the path is invalid, so you need to put the commands after the quotes. You should now be up and running with more or less a basic dedicated server for you and a few friends.

If i copy that instruction and set +exec ffa.cfg to:

//Set the cvars in this file for your server!

//set your server's name
set sv_hostname "Art of War (http://www.planetquake.com/artofwar)"

//set the max number of clients to connect

set timelimit 40

//Allow custom models, music, etc

// If you *really* love the id CTF maps, use this:
//set d1 "map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d2"
//set d2 "map q3ctf2; set nextmap vstr d3"
//set d3 "map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4"
//set d4 "map q3ctf4; set nextmap vstr d5"
//set d5 "map q3dm12; set nextmap vstr d1"


// We recommend using the 3wave CTF maps (q3wctf.zip)
set d1 "map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3ctf2; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4"

set d6 "map q3wctf1; set nextmap vstr d7"
set d7 "map q3wctf3; set nextmap vstr d1"

// The MatLab CTF map pack is also very good (q3mlctfpak0.zip)
//set d1 "map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d2"
//set d2 "map q3ctf2; set nextmap vstr d3"
//set d3 "map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4"

//set d10 "map q3mlctf3; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1

I will have a server running???

[Underpants?]

there's a good chance, yes
dependencies:
lan / internet server-do you know if you're forwarding ports, mister?
map packs in the right directory
should ffa.cfg include a call for gametype? ctf is a mod, not just maps, unless I've fallen off.

[ANIMAL1988]

I wish to run an internet server. Noticed myself the game type missing can someone plz tell me th command. Forwarding ports hmmm>?

As for forwarding quoted a quote posted by someone else :icon30:

[ANIMAL1988]

"C:Quake III ArenaQuake3.exe" is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

CONSOLE

Couldn't load default.cfg

[Foo]

that's probably a functional dedicated server right there.

Can anyone help?

[AmIdYfReAk]

make sure your PAK0.pk3 is in your baseq3 directory,

if its not, copy it form the CD.. if it is there, then re-copy it from the CD.

what happens next?

[Foo]

Nothing. That's a running server.

Then you or someone else loads quake and connects to it.

[ANIMAL1988]

HOW CAN I CONNECT?

[axbaby]

in the quake3 console after starting quake3 again <?> leave the other quake3 running "server" type
/connect localhost

your freinds to connect would need to know your ip address

i'll take a guess and say your ip is 192.168.1.2

your freinds need to type
/connect 192.168.1.2
