If you don't understand TJW's installation guide, you don't have enough skills to maintain the server. You'll do us all a big favor if you give up. Thank you.

And just a little bit of what unmaintained servers cause:
- Players reporting bugs which were fixed months ago
- Players whining about griefing and votekicks without reason
:roll:

Look, unmaintained server have been major pain in the butt for the last 6 months for all the developers and veterans. What I wrote is the only thing I can do to help you without causing more pain to everybody else including myself. So please, go practice using your operating system and read TJW's guide a few more times instead of asking questions nobody is willing to answer anymore. All you need to know is in the guide.

You know adalatorius... The answer you get is as good as the information you gave us in your question.

Just head on over to apple.com and dowload it for your mac.

Well ill tell you unlike the others here...

Ok what you do is make a .txt file in the Documents and setings\you\local setings\administaive data\tremulous\base\vm place and call it admin.dat wich the .dat is the new extention you put makeing it a data file.

That will let you make admins on your server  :D

Then ill tell him how to do it for his mac 2 :D

Ok this is what you do...

insted of the windows directory but it in here...

Library/Application Support/Tremulous/base/

then make a new txt file call it admin.dat the .dat is the new extention you put on the end to make it a data file  :)

That will work!

And also type g_admin into the consle and change it to admin.dat if it is still not working!  :D

you're assuming that he wont maintane the server, if you tell him how to set it up then he can figure the updating out for himself, but, Death got to it before you

OMG!
Just answer his fricking question!
This is all fricking SPAM!
You are avoiding the question, and instead saying things that do not help the asker, make him frustrated and make yourself appear (to me at least) like a 5 year old brat!

Geezuz.
DONT BOTHER POSTING IF YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING HIS QUESTION, BEING HELPFUL, OR BEING NEUTRAL AND AT LEAST MAKING A BIT OF EFFORT TO BE NICE!

People accuse ME of spam, geez.

<spam>If you don't like our answers, answer the questions yourself. But if it brings more bugreport spam caused by playing on unmaintained vanilla servers, you'll regret ever posting the answer.</spam>

Put simply, I can answer the question.
But this has happened to me many a time.
So I may as well comment, since it might help, maybe.

Excuse me? If you can show me one place where I spelled more than 5 words wrong in a single post I'll give you a cyber cookie. And that guy who wrote I can't spell was blood 2.0 who, is not in my clan {Blood} as you can tell by the forums which is in my sig.
