Not really a tutorial, mostly notes to my self so I remember how it’s done down the road.
adduser q3ds cd /home/q3ds |
Find linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run, wget or upload to the q3ds user folder
chmod +x linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run ./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run # Returns... # Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory # Error in check sums 579851737 212141158 # This should fix that error: export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 ./linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run # Returns... # Verifying archive integrity...OK # Uncompressing Quake III Arena Point Release 1.31 .................................................................. # This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86_64 # Please contact Id software technical support at bugs@idsoftware.com # The program returned an error code (1) # OK, time for another fix: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs linux32 # ... press Y <enter> to confirm install # Try again with 32bit emulation linux32 ./linuxq3apoint-1.31.x86.run # Go through the install and change the install path to /home/q3ds/quake3/ |
Copy/FTP baseq3/pak0.pk3 off our CD or backup into your /home/q3ds/quake3/baseq3 folder.
These are my console screens for running q3ded behind the scenes, they’re setup for my mod of choice – WFA (whose install files are located @ bitblender.net:
q3start:
#!/bin/bash echo "Starting WFA Server" sleep 1 cd /home/q3ds/quake3 screen -L -A -m -d -S wfa-server ./q3ded +set fs_game wfa +set dedicated 2 +set sv_pure 0 +set gametype 4 +exec wfa-server.cfg |
q3stop:
#!/bin/sh screen -dr wfa-server -X quit echo "Killing off wfa-server..."; |
q3restart:
#!/bin/bash echo "Restarting WFA Server" sleep 1 /home/q3ds/scripts/q3stop sleep 1 /home/q3ds/scripts/q3start |
q3console (ctrl+A+D to detach from console):
#!/bin/sh sudo screen -x wfa-server |
Can anyone suggest a reliable Dedicated Server hosting that is not very expensive?’*’
