lol I won't be playing on those online servers cause I'm not too good... what I had intended to do is just create an online server for my forum members only to join and play (though I could make a couple exceptions) but I haven't the faintest idea on how to do that; whenever I start a multiplayer game it's just for the LAN. I don't have access to an actual dedicated server so the computer I'm running would have to act as the server as well... I'm sure it's possible for me to do that, but I have no idea how. Can you help? (it's probably better that I ask it here rather than start a new topic) The other guides I found were for a dedicated server only and assumed I had access to a dedicated server, which I don't.
Yeah, me too at the moment, I have a few servers around, but I've been too busy to put a dedicated machine online since among other things I've been upgrading my hardware. But you can run a dedicated server on your machine and then connect to it:
See here:
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1116.0The script I use to start a dedicated server in Linux:
#!/bin/sh
screen -A -m -d -S OA sh -c "cd ../ && ./ioquake3.x86_64 +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game excessiveplus +set sv_pure 1 +exec server.cfg; sleep 30" &
I run excessiveplus in that example, for standard change +set fs_game excessiveplus to +set fs_game baseoa
Look for this one online sometimes and feel free to join in on the fun:
