first of all... welcome to the forum

there is a client cfg and a server cfg, you are probably talking about wanting a server config (note: q3config.cfg contains the settings for all mod's client and some server variables)

although you havent shown what you are doing to load or edit the configs i'll give you a bit of advice.

once you create your server cfg... name it (e.g. gaunty.cfg) and place it in the q3a\excessiveplus\conf folder in your server... then whenever you want to load it type \rcon load conf\gaunty.cfg

to create your config use Qtool.exe found in q3a\excessiveplue\tools
simple instructions are found there on the options. if you have any questions about certain settings ask again in this thread.

someone please expand on and correct what i said as i have limited server maintenence experience.

Ok you are on your way.

Now, my recomendation is to clean it up first, it will help you later if you config starts to grow, and its a good thing to learn to do for later, when you will be making bigger configs.

First remove all the text that is between the [code:1]/*[/code:1] and [code:1]*/[/code:1]

After that i recomend you intend the lines properly. I usually do not use tab, instead i use spacebars.

Then you should proceed by removing everything you do not need.
In your case, you are not using any weapon besides gaunt and rg, so remove all other weapon definitions. They are not needed, configs work without them (settings are used from default.cfg which is irelevant, cause those weapons wont apear).

The Items section is completely not needed since you removed all items from the map.

And lastly i will adress some settings you used:

[code:1]Spawn Protection: 2;[/code:1]

I recomend not using spawn protection. It usually annoys more than it helps.

[code:1]Chat Protection: 3;[/code:1]

I recomend not using this as well (set to because of abuse, and basically, if someone wants to chat in the middle of game, he deserves to die
