I made a new (girl-friend) since the 7th and we have always been in contact with each other for hours and finally I want to play Quake 2 with her from her Laptop to my PC. She thought it would be kewl, so I spent a while how to start your own Quake 2 Server.

Questions:
0. I seen tons of servers on Quake server lists websites, but they don't list! What gives?

1. Whats the port for Quake 2? Is it the same as the original Quake?

2. When I start the server it shows it executed the log file, but that is it! Doesn't it show more? Like what level it loaded and what not?

3. I can't see my server listed or even my friend couldn't when the Quake 2 Winsock Server was going...

Server Shortcut
+set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg. +set public 1

server.cfg

Code:

set dmflags 803348

set hostname "Andrew McRobb Server"
//(sets the name of the server)
set _admin "Andrew McRobb" s
//(misc. but interesting details)
set _email "********" s
set _system "PIII 500" s
set _inet "Cable Modem @ Home" s
set _os "WindowsVista" s

set deathmatch 1
//(can you hurt each other?)
set maxclients 2
//(the maximum amount of people allowed on your server)
set fraglimit 150
//(the maximum amount of points or frags a player can get before a level changes)
set timelimit 60
//(the amount of time before the level changes)    set capturelimit 12
//(the maximum amount of times you can capture on a level of CtF or Capture the Flag)

Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it! I would research more, but I am not even supposed to be on the computer right now. :shock:

0. What? Don't list where?
1. Port: 27910
2/3. You need to add :
map q2dm1
or whatever to server.cfg

The servers don't list in the join multilayer in Quake2.

The router already is set up for that port I believe.

K added that command.

the join only shows for LAN servers. It's easier to just ype "connect ip_address".

here's my Q2 DM server config:

I use r1q2 as my server exec. I'd recommend you use that one. If you want a listen server the client of R1Q2 can do listen too.

can you see if you can connect please real fast?
Ip:
72.208.240.197:27910

It seems to show on my server list and I do know that's lan, but I made a game server before and know how it works.

I can connect. But why not use my Leper server? It's much more fun then normal DM.

mmm ok, since my connection would suck a lot using a top wireless router! lol My friend thats new to Quake2 and I will join later tonight can you give me the IP?

Keep that server up!

ip is in my sig: q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com

http://q2servers.com/ for a listing

Your router wouldn't cause the lag, it's the net connection. Escaped Turkey is offering $5 a month Washington DC servers & $10 a month Dallas, TX servers. 32-player max, Quake 2, 3 & 4, Doom 3, RoE & others.

$5 a month is a great deal, you'd both get great ping (I'm in NY & get under 50 to DC, but my net connection is pretty bad, most get ~30). Very good customer service. Can change to any mod (needs linux support) & can switch to any supported game at any time (well, you need to config it).

Sorry to pimp them but I love them. They're awesome^10.

Hey thanks!

I am out of town right now so my dad is using much bandwidth so thats a another reason why.

5 bucks a month?? Hey that isn't bad!

Thought I don't know why I want to start my own anymore and not have a lot of people join it. Yeah its good for party's, but I with a clan or anything like that yet.
