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_3wave.cfg +exec portal_rocketsci.cfg

FOR MESSAGE OF THE DAY...

I have provided an example of a nice motd.txt ... and a back-up of the original ... so that you can use them both for reference.

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.

Hello Friend,

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

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.

The Portal Config has most of the least popular maps blocked off already, which seems undemocratic, but can help the server to stay busy ... once it *gets* busy.


Regards,
