i was trying to set this mod up for the guys at work on our game server, its a public server, but we play on it more than public players do Winking

anyways, i dl'ed these

quake-excessiveplus-1.0rc2a.zip
linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run*

followed the installation instructions, we are already running a q3 server but it was an older ver so i installed this one so that it will work with excessive, however when i run the game, with this command,

./q3ded +set fs_game excesiveplus +exec ffa.cfg +set net_ip 204.117.117.18 +set net_port 27970

the server starts up, and the console commands seem normal, but the server just maxes out the cpu and doesnt accept connections, any ideas?? i can copy/paste the console start up output if needed

i can see there is no help to be found here, too bad, we really like this mod here and would run the server 24/7 on a good machine and fast connect

oh well

This happens when the server is started without any map.
Starting ./q3ded without any arguments will have the same effect.

The map is loaded in maps.cfg which you are missing. Either extract all files or load a map in your ffa.cfg.
