LINUX DEDICATED SERVER START-UP FILE

WINDOWS DEDICATED SERVER START-UP .BAT ... (place the .BAT in "threewave" folder)

Apparently, there is a problem with Windows Q3 1.30 servers which can be solved by setting:
+set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0

cd ..
quake3.exe +set com_hunkmegs 64 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game threewave +set sv_pure 1 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set net_port "xxxxx" +exec server_xxxx.cfg

FOR MESSAGE OF THE DAY...

Edit and use the motd.txt provided ... but keep a back-up of the original so that you have it for reference.

the "g_motd" CVAR in the server_3wave.cfg sets the brief message which is displayed while maps are changing.

======================================

SERVER CONSOLE LOGGING

The CVARs for Server Console Logging have not been added to the main server.cfg ...  because this part is still under construction ... but experienced admins might know how to set up the logging.

IMPROVED MAP SELECTIONS

These are server configs similar to what Jolt UK are using for their (usually very busy) Threewave servers.

However, these configs have been improved since they were first shipped to Jolt, because the Portal Configs for CaptureStrike + Classic CTF have had the least popular maps blocked off already, which seems undemocratic, but can help the server to stay busy ... once it *gets* busy.

*IMPORTANT* - STANDARDIZED MOD SETTINGS

If you use these configs, your server should be just perfect/standard/normal for the mod ... and same as 95% of most Euro or American servers.

GamersRevolt (Italy) have a Threewave server with very silly/stupid settings ... (Friendly Fire ON, and 30-sec weapon respawn in Classic CTF!) ... which sucks! ... so nobody plays on that server.

And there is a German server which doesn't allow you to pick up your dropped rune in CCTF which sucks! ... so nobody plays at that server, either.
