Dark Places Dedicated

[Baker]

1. hostname "My server" should work for naming the server. You could even add +hostname "my_server" to the commandline (I'm not sure how it reacts to spaces, maybe it can be quoted"). Most people put the hostname setting in it the server autoexec.cfg

2. There are no admin mods unfortunately, they must be programmed into the
mod. If the mod is open source, you can at least alter the mod and recompile to allow player vote-map capability.

The reason there are no admin mods is because to write an admin mod would involve QuakeC and only 1 mod can run at a time so either the code must be added to the mod's code or there isn't a way of doing it. There is, however, rcon for yourself where you set the rcon_password and can execute any command on the server when logged in.

Set the rcon_password on the server and if you are the client, you set the rcon_password and then do things like rcon changelevel e1m1, etc.

3. If you are hosting this yourself and you do not have static-ip, you can try http://www.no-ip.com/.

If you have static-ip and it is going to be a permanent server, you can ask Solecord if he'll set a DNS forward (QuakeOne.com) or contact Jackhole (quake1.net). And example of a permanent DarkPlaces server is whitehot.quakeone.com

I hope this helps
