Quake 3

From MonsterLANWiki

This needs to be cleaned up

Creating the Server (CFG) File(s)

Create 2 shortcuts on the desktop to the quake3.exe and then add the following to the target field in the properties (right-hand mouse click on the shortcut) window.

It will look something like this: Target: "C:\mlservers\Quake 3\quake3.exe"

On the first shortcut we will set up a Capture the Flag Server. Do this by adding the following after quake3.exe and make sure these is a space between them:

+set dedicated 1 +exec server_ctf.cfg

+set dedicated 1 // make it a dedicated server (0=OFF 1=ON)

+exec server_ctf.cfg // Name of the CTF server script you wish to execute. NOTE: Be sure it is saved in your C:\mlservers\Quake 3\baseq3\ directory or it will not work

You now should have a shortcut named Quake 3 on your desktop with properties that look like this:

Target: "C:\mlservers\Games\Quake 3\quake3.exe" +set dedicated 1 +exec server_ctf.cfg

Next do the same thing for the second shortcut except change the script name for a Death match server:

Target: "C:\mlservers\Games\Quake 3\quake3.exe" +set dedicated 1 +exec server_dm.cfg

Next open a new file in you fave text editor copy and paste the CTF script to a file and save it as "server_ctf.cfg" to your \Quake 3\baseq3\ folder.

Then create a new file and copy the Death Match script into it and save it as "server_dm.cfg" to your \Quake 3\baseq3\ folder.
