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!
