Quake 3 lan server setup

As noted by the name, a dedicated server is meant to run as a console only and typically on a machine with the express role of being a game server. Upon startup of a dedicated server, a console will be the only window running which can accept commands in the input area below the blue-background console output frame.

I found out about quake about 3 years ago, when my friends played it on school computers xD Back then I was playing CS, and completely forgot about the existance of such an awesome game, even though I played Q3 when I was like years old.

I see no reason to doubt their skills. Originally posted by Richnellt the squid :. Yep using smartsteam. Nemesis View Profile View Posts. Otherwise users will not be able to connect to your server. At this point the server should be up and running on your Linux PC. STEP 1B - Creating symbolic links This is similar to a shortcut in windows, it will create a virtual folder of the original files.

In the example above we have named the new folder ffa1, for a free for all deathmatch server. You can name the folders whatever you want.
