Trying q3a from home server

So far i have linux mint 15 installed on duel boot win 7 machine.

Have quake 3 files copied into user/local/games/quake3/baseq3.

Have a static ip address, hopefully I can use that.

Opened ports on router, only have 2 boxes to fill out so I opened ports 80 to 27990. I am sure this is wrong, too many ports open. I have virginmedia superhub.

What I am stuck with now is installing mod and the correct startup command line.

hots

i will show you my startup command for ioquake 3
You shlould install screen so you can shut down console but leave server running.

screen /home/administrator/release-linux-x86/ioq3ded.i386 +set com_protocol 67 +set com_legacyprotocol 67 +set dedicated 2 +set com_hunkmegs 64 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_basepath /home/administrator/release-linux-x86/ +set fs_game IU1.2Beta3 +exec ffa.cfg

you need to put where your files are /home/administrator/release-linux-x86/ then also for fs_basepath /home/administrator/release-linux-x86/


Yours should be fs_basepath /user/local/games/quake3/

Start up for normal q3 is easier just cd /user/local/games/quake3/ to your quake directory and start with your normal commands ./q3ded etc if you are using console that is.

Have you managed to unpack the pointrelease ok into your quake3?
this can some times be a pain on newer linux operating systems.


With ioquake 3 you dont have to install all of the q3 point releases to get them to work it is built in to this so you just change setting in start up command to change protocol (pointrelease).

To add the mod just put mod file in q3 folder and set the fs_game in startup command +set fs_game "mod of choice" same as you would normaly.

Unlagged mod as long as you have all the files in there is just to use the fs_game command in startup command ,
the point release is a bit more involved have you run it yet or is it still as you downloadedd it.

Its been a while since i have run these files so had to look at google, i found this on a site

chmod a+x linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

YOu will have to change the 1.32b-3.x86.run to the number at the end of your run file.
from what i remember it gives u an option to change the path to where your q3 and baseq3 are when it runs.
