ECF Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Qauke 3 costs net to nothing now. Grab a copy and send it to the datacenter and have them load it up in the drive. Or install and upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I remember playing Q3 Arena. Actually I remember playing Q1 on 14.4k dialup. God I am getting old... Quake 1 was back in the good ol days of gaming, back when it was fun. Sure blows the pants off many of the news games out lately. I still love Quake 3. I would suggest you change up your commandline and keep things in a good format.. +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip %serverip% +set net_port %serverport% +exec server.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 That didn't make a difference it was also just a config that was posted by Jason so assmued it would have worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 That didn't make a difference it was also just a config that was posted by Jason so assmued it would have worked fine. I wasnt saying it as a solution, only saying you keep it nice and clean in it a better order. Your config looks fine and your commandline should be set, so if you are still getting a dead server I would have to say it could be your new set of files. Use the same commandline and cfg on your home PC for your steam version and see what happens. Q3 is pretty easy to host, so without being able to actually see the setup it is pretty hard to troubleshoot an issue such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though today's games are much better graphics wise, I can never remember having an issue with a Quake server or the client ever crashing... I used to play for hours on end on dialup.

Yes, it should be very easy to host but it doesn't help considering I am getting no error messages in the console. Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though today's games are much better graphics wise, I can never remember having an issue with a Quake server or the client ever crashing... I used to play for hours on end on dialup. I still think its one of the best games ever made. Ive been playing Q3 since 2003 and my friends been playing since 1999. We just moved over to Quake Live this year, but all in all its still the same game, just prettier with shittier netcode. Really one of those amazing games that has quite a bit of life left in it. Now im just waiting for iD to release the server files for it so we can start running it They already said the original idea of advertisements in game is not making nearly as much profit as expected, and are looking for new methods of making money off of it indirectly. I wish they would stop beating around the bush and just give us the files. Save them money, and make us money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
