Mod Issue

[DJLawson]

Alright, i am trying to setup some Quake mod servers.
I have tried the classic QRally and it works fine apart from when i try to run a dedicated server

When i launch it runs through to usual stuff and comes up with it loading a file but it hangs there. Before if was some missile.mdl file that i extracted from some pak file, placed it in a progs folder and got past that one. Now its stuck on another file?

Annoying thing is i can run it in single player etc and it works, just not dedicated mode

Tried painkeep also (another classic i used to play) and similar thing, stops on some files

Any ideas, driving me mad!

[Mr.Burns]

It might help some of the Quake gurus here to help you if you gave them a little more information such as what client (inc. version) are you using to run the server, what's the command line you are using to start it, any screenshots you may have or further details on the error messages you are receiving may also be useful.

Kind regards

Monty
P.S. I used to run a Painkeep server in the UK and it really was a fun mod to play having 6-12 players regularly gravity weilling their hearts out at it's peak. I'll try and drop by to help to test your NQ FFA server tonight but if and when you get a Painkeep server going plz let me know. You might also let Spooker know as he's addicted to the can'o'beans

BTW Just out of interest, in which part of the UK is the server based?

[DJLawson]

Thanks, will check client versions and command lines when i get home from work tonight.

Yeah hopfully see some people tonight for a game

Painkeep server will be up and running soon i hope if i can get this sorted this evening will some help from you Quake masters out there!

I'm down in sunny ol' Devon hosting the servers, and no they are not on a farm, hehe.

Cheers

Right, few details here we go.

I'm trying to run Qrally, have tried running it using winquake, glquake, wqpro.
Command line i am using after the exe location is:

-game rally -dedicated 8 -noipx -udpport 26001

When i run the dedicated server it comes up with a dos box same as the others but like this:

The armour.mdl file is present within the pak files, and i have extracted the file too into the relevent 'progs' folder. Still nothing.

Any help would be really appreciated

Cheers

Hi DJ

If it's of any use to you I just set up a dedicated painkeep server using a basic hack of my normal startup line:

wqpro.exe -game painkeep -nocdaudio -dedicated 8 -width 640 -height 480 -bpp 16 -mem 64

It does stop at the armour.mdl but that has never caused me any problems


And then connected successfully from another client using:

glqrack -game painkeep -nocdaudio -width 640 -height 480 -bpp 16 -mem 64

The only difference I've noticed is that you have added -udpport 26001 whereas when I ran multiple servers I tended to use -port 26nnn. I'm not sure of the advantages of each but perhaps that might be worth a try


Hope this helps

Monty
P.S. Tried the NQ FFA server about 9:25pm GMT and but unfortunately got 115-130 ping which is almost the same as the US servers. Much kudos for setting up a UK server but the ping might be an issue. Let's hope it was just a blip.

[DJLawson]

Thanks for the help mate.

Got alittle further but now its coming up with its missing:

'b_eshel0.bsp'

I have checked through all the pak files and i cannot see that map anywhere!

How annoying

Have you got that map file present in your paks?

Thanks again

[Mr.Burns]

To the best of my knowledge Painkeep uses maps pk0 through to pk18.bsp plus the map voting hub. I've never had to add anything outside of the pak.

Perhaps try searching for that map online and adding it or try forcing the server to start on a particular map in the hope that it won't try and call this 'rogue' map. Sometimes you can do this by adding -map mapname to your command line. I haven't tested this in the painkeep mod but it might help.

Alternatively if your version of painkeep is stuffed then you should be able to get it from here

Failing that I might be able to make mine available to you as long as this doesn't contravene the Quakeone.com warez rules .

Hope this helps

Monty

[DJLawson]

Nice one again. I am first going to remove my quake folder and reinstall from my cd. I got so many mods and clients in it and i have various copies on various PC's. Think ill start fresh for the server machine.

Ill get back to you soon.

Cheers

[DJLawson]

All reinstalled and working fine now

Painkeep is lawson.servequake.com : 26001
QRally is lawson.servequake.com : 26002

Should be working fine.

Thanks again

[Mr.Burns]

Great stuff. It's been a long time since there was a Painkeep server! I'll try and pop in to the Painkeep server sometime after 9pm tonight.

Kind regards

Monty
BTW Did you get to the bottom of the ping issue?

[DJLawson]

Yeah it would be good to see some people playing PainKeep
The ping seems ok, Polarite tried the other servers and said the ping was about 50-65. Let me know anyway.

Cheers
