I run a server at my school at lunchtimes, and i normally just start a vanilla server and play. Lately some people are being n00bs and doing random stuff on the server, so read about making a tremded.exe server, and it seems to me that i need access to the C:/ Drive on the school computers, which as some of you may have already guessed isn't possible.
So, question:
is there some way i can run a tremded.exe server from my USB, and have all the cool commands and mods, like the patches/mods from the TJW server pack thing, and how do i do it?
can people please give specifics, cos ive never made a server before.

Unzip the zip file (http://tremulous.net/files) somewhere on your USB disk, and then copy your mod in as-normal.
You can move the home dir part of it by adding +set fs_homepath X:/path/on/usb/disk/ when you start the server.

...the zip file (http://tremulous.net/files)...
not to be , uhhh, annoying, but why are you pointing me to that zip? isn't that the vanilla trem? i wanted TJW's tremded....
-
You still need all the stuff from 1.1, then overwrite the tremded and game.qvm in there with tjw's.
-
ah ok
you said i needed to change the set fs_homepath to my USB. does that path point to the vm folder? i think thats where game.qvm goes...
nevermind, i made a batch file, failed, fiddled around with the batch file and got it working. failed again. it comes up with Trem's version of the Blue Screen of Death:
ERROR: G_ParseSpawnVars: found 2 when expecting {
this is my batch file:
tremded.exe +set dedicated 1 +exec penguin.cfg +set fs_homepath %~dp0
(i am known as A Penguin ingame, and the %~dp0 sets the directory the batch is running from)
-
You forgot to either upgrade the QVM or the Tremded. Try again.
-
use a different qvm and tremed.exe
-
Start out with TJW's tremded and his QVM. If those two don't work together, you have bigger problems.
-
ok, i got the server working the normal way (ie put game.qvm in the local settings place) and it works fine.
is there a parameter to change where tremded.exe looks for the game.qvm? cos then i could work it on my USB.

+set fs_homepath ...

Read the documentation that comes with your OS and its applications.

Move tremulous to a proper location and off the desktop folder...

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
YAY IM SO HAPPY!!!!!
what I did was set the mod path thing (+set fs_game) to go to my QVM in a different folder, instead of in C:/Docs&Settings/User/localstuff/appdata/trem/vm, i sent it to MYUSB:/Tremulous/vm and it works!!!!!!!
the only problem now is that i cant run mods. :'(
i only just found out what fs_game did as well.
when i found out, i just (insert lightbulb here)'d! (ding'd!)
so maybe we can put my find in some sticky? has anyone found this out before? am i the god of the universe?
ok im gonna stop typing now, im just so glad i can type here forever. ;D
@ Blissig: no that didn't work for me
@ Lava: that neither. couldnt find the manual. </sarcasm>
@ Undeference: knew that, tried that, it phail'd.
@ everyone else: couldn't be bother answering individually, but thanks for the help

fs_homepath is write protected.
that happens when you try to set fs_homepath while the server is already running. set it from the command line (or make a shortcut and do it that way) and it will not fail with that message.
