id's q3ded VS ioquake q3ded?
Thanks everyone for the fast reply's!
I know, the first response when I propose a question is always. WHY?
Why ioquake3 as a server??? read this! http://ioquake3.org/improvements/ its future proof...Also I dont like pb. It always complaining and I have only once in my life encounterd an aimbot. Hell, dont even know how to cheat. It's not like you can type god or impulse 9 in the command line.
But that is not what we are talking about.
No, it is not as easy as you think, I guess. The ioquake3 uses its own
dedicated server exe. The batch file will make the ioquake3 run as dedicated
server, while using the gpu, since it will start the game and show only
console. This is not energy economic for a server.
Thanks a lot IMPULSE! I will try it soon. I will let you know if I pop up in
the spider .
I tried replacing the sript and the dedicated server starts, but for some reason it does not load the rotation and e+ config.
This is the code I use:
@echo off
Start Quake3dedicated.exe +set fs_homepath "D:\Program Files\Quake III Arena" +set fs_game excessiveplus +set vm_game 0 +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg
For the rest all is done as it would work under the official quake 3.
Could you tell me what i could have done wrong?
In the commandline it say's
23219 files in pk3 files
execin default.cfg
excing q3config_server.cfg
couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok
Then it loads excessive plus and the bigbox map
It does successfully show in the E+ Spider.
Thanks in advance!

oops, my mistake, of course ioq3ded.exe
I just copy it from my bat file for client and forgot to change on ioq3ded

So u decide use regular q3ded?
By default in mod xp_rotation "" is empty, because when player just load some map in single, start working e+ rotation and loading 1st map in rotation list but not that map which player selected.
Solution is writing in server.cfg xp_rotaion "rotation.txt" and xp_config "yourconfig.cfg" (yourconfig.cfg must be placed in \excessiveplus\conf)
Thanks
No, i just renamed the name. The file is the
ioquake3 1.36 dedicated server exe.
Well, the server.cfg is in the excessive plus
folder.
set rconpassword ""
set sv_hostname "Joeri's Excessive+
Server 1.0"
set sv_maxclients "8"
set sv_maxrate "25000"
set g_gametype "0"
set bot_minplayers "1"
set fraglimit "20"
set timelimit "5"
set capturelimit "6"
set roundlimit "5"
set sv_pure "0"
set xp_config "conf/Joeri.cfg"
set xp_rotaion "rotation.txt"
map test_bigbox
It now loads the config,
but still not the rotation. Did I make te config file proper?Is it not able to handle the standard rotation.txt?
Thanks in advance
sorry, typo of rotation, the t was missing
The server is working perfect. Just some tweaking left...Except it isn't showing anymore for some reason in the spider...
Now I have to figure out how to connect the maps on my http serverspace to the server autodownload.
Does anybody knows about any manuals?
Thanks for the code IMPULSE!

g_gametype, fraglimit, timelimit, capturelimit, roundlimit - this' all u can set in rotation.txt
set <strong>xp_rotaion</strong> "rotation.txt"
check for spell: xp_rotation "rotation.txt" and also in q3config_server.cfg
and add after this map test_bigbox
load conf\yourconfig.cfg

README in ioquake folder file have a lot of info.
I made next:
In server.cfg seta sv_dlURL "http://DNSname.com" or seta sv_dlURL "http://127.0.0.1"
On web server in folder WWW, where I hold web files made folder baseq3 and put there maps.
Sorry, didn't look that well in readme.
Man ur great! that sounds easy . I use many custom maps.
Yes, the rest of the tweaks I know how to do. Now i just need to clean it up and make a nice map selection.I hope the spider thing will show soon again.
Thanks!
