Why does everyone make getting trembot easy, but it's so hard that even after a month with help of someone who has it can't help me get it.
What do you have to do to get it running?[/quote]
-
By asking a coherent question, instead of the jumbled set of words you just strung together to make a sentence.
-
Let me venture a guess...
Because _Trembot_ is no more?
Because you did not find this thread: http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1125
Because you did not follow the manual?
Because you do not use the right client?

I like saying Trembot instead of the new name. It sounds better.
And I did follow the directions, had help from someone who had it, and yet didn't get it to work.

Well then what the hell do you want us to do about it? You give us no information besides "it doesn't work".
In true Linux community spirit, RTFM.

I bet RTFM is not so well-known term, so RTFM = Read The Fine Manual (or Read That Fucking Manual ;))

Well, considering that didn't work for me before. I guess I'm just gonna give up.

What about telling us when/how/why it doesnt work so we could help..
(Paste of server log helps a lot)

lol i gave you about 3 books of help on installing trembot rofl.
its all in big text on the trembot webpage . . .

Worked first time for me and I would be considered a bit of a rookie (noob) as a server admin, but am experienced in the old ways of DOS. I assume you are using a Windows OS and have no experience with command line interface. You need to run it from a DOS prompt and creating a batch file is the easiest way to go.
Without being a little more specific, there is not much that can be done.

If you are using Windows, read this: (Code is from http://tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt)
Windows
-------
1) make the directory:
\Documents and Settings\YOU\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\vm
where "YOU" is your windows username.
If your Windows is installed on C drive (that's the default), go to start menu -> Run.. -> type in: "cmd" (without "s) -> type in: "explorer C:\Documents and Settings\YOU\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\" (Change YOU to your login name) then create directory called vm.
2) copy game.qvm into this "vm" directory
Copy game.qvm (which you have downloaded from http://tjw.org/tremulous/) in the directory.
3) copy win32/tremded.exe to where Tremulous is installed.
(next to tremulous.exe)
Go to Tremulous main dir (normally c:\program files\tremulous\) and copy tremded.exe (which you have downloaded from http://tjw.org/tremulous/win32/)
4) open up a command prompt (cmd.exe)
Use that promt which you opened from run with command "cmd"
5) change to the directory where you put tremded.exe
Change directory to tremulous main dir (by default "cd c:\program files\tremulous")
6) run it:
tremded.exe +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg
Type to promt: "tremded +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg"
I think thats kinda clear 8)

OK - I guess there is more that can be done and Somethief did it. Agreed, can't be much clearer than that.
Like I said, I am a bit of a noob with a Trem server but have run Q3 and Far Cry servers in the past. What does TJW's server mod offer that is different than the standard Trem server package?

RTM?

with TJW's stuff you can give users power without having to give out the rcon password.
different people can have different powers, like kicking and banning, changing the map, rigging votes, renaming people, and stuff.
all the admins need TJW's modified client.

Apart form a few extra gameplay features, TJW's server binaries have all patches standard 1.1.0 binaries don't have. And those patches fix some really nasty and annoying bugs.

Thanks! I'll check out the details.
