Quake3World

Hey,

This is my first post to this forum, and it's a question.
I'm playing Quake for almost 7 months now, and I always wanted to know how to make a internet server.
Then, I saw your tutorial. Well, I've made a .bat file and a .CFG file. And it is in my quake 3 directory..

But when I want to start up the server pressing on server.bat, it says: ''couldn't exec server.cfg''

This is my .cfg file:

seta sv_hostname "ArenA Tournament 2008"
seta sv_maxclients 16
seta g_motd "1 VS 1, 3 minutes, 5 frags.. Good luck!"
seta g_quadfactor 1
seta g_gametype 1
seta timelimit 3
seta fraglimit 5
seta g_weaponrespawn 1
seta g_inactivity 120
seta g_forcerespawn 0
seta rconpassword "Arena"
set d1 "map q3dm17 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3dm7 ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3dm6 ; set nextmap vstr d1"

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??

And I have another question.. There are lots of tournament servers on quake 3, and then you see people fighting against eachother with only a rocket launcher or a railgun... How can I get that?

Where exactly did you put the file (full path please)? Railgun only servers are running InstaUnlagged or a similar mod.

C:/Program Files/Quake III Arena.

I tried putting the files in the baseq3 folder and then start it up, but when I did that, it won't load anything..

baseq3 is where it belongs. Add 'vstr d1' at the bottom of your config file to make the server actually load the first map.

Allright, now the console works. But when I'm starting up quake, and I don't see my server at multiplayer.. I saw 2 IP adresses on the console (My PC's and my Hamachi). I typed it at specify, but they don't find a server... And yes, the console for the server is still running..

You need to start the server with '+set dedicated 2' and port 27960/udp needs to be open on your PC and any firewall / router between it and the Internet. Keep in mind that it may take over an hour before your server shows up in server lists.

okay.. I saw a video on youtube about a server, and that server was on his local servers.. So i looked at local, and my server showed up! Now last question; how can I add bots? Can you give me some commands like add bots or timelimit or voting?

set g_spskill 5 // nightmare bots
set bot_enable 1
set bot_nochat 1 // most people find bot chat rather annoying
set bot_minplayers 6
set timelimit 15 // minutes
set fraglimit 40 // first with 40 frags wins
set capturelimit 7 // CTF
set g_allowvote 1 // clients may vote
