Post by **reeseh** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 2:54 am

i make a listen server and i'm not even able to join it for some reason. just says 'awaiting connection'.

what i do is hit multi player, q17, choose internet type, make a few bots leave a few open, then run another client of quake and i myself can't join it, neither can friends. i'm not behind a firewall. please help

If your running a listen server, your already in the server. Why should you be trying to join a server that your already in?

This is how you start a listen server batch(.bat)-wise...

start quake3.exe +set dedicated 0 +map q3dm11

If you wanna start a server and join it, pop this line in your batch:

start quake3.exe +set dedicated 2 +map q3dm11
