Hey i get this error when i start the server:

G_ParseSpawnVars: found when expecting {

Now, I know that theres a fix on the Stickied tut above this thread. (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=3586.0)
it says that or i put it in the wrong place, Or They arn't compatable together.
Then it said to scroll down somewhere and download the game.qvm, and tremded.exe from there.
I did that and it still wont work. Please help me!
solved

Okay, sure, I'll help you.

First off, before we do anything, do you have the tremded.exe in your Tremulous folder? It should be in:

C:\Program Files\Tremulous

or

(Bla bla bla, wherever the hell your folder is)\Tremulous

If its not there, it should be in your Tremulous folder, not the /base folder, not anywhere else. It should be in the folder where tremulous.exe is.

Next, check where your Qvm is. It should be in the /vm folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your PC's name here, its usually Administrator or the name your computer shows at the top of the window when you hit "Start">\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\vm

Now, start up your server again. If the same result happens, use a different Qvm (Like the p-g-qvm, google the latest version 1.6.5). If you want, I can set up a guide with pictures for you. Cheers.

What QVM and what tremded? Make sure you haven't got any other game.qvm files lying around or weird stuff can happen.

cactusfrog · « **Reply #5 on:** January 11, 2009, 04:41:23 am »

you need to download a different qvm and tremed.exe the ones that guide tells you to download don't work together.

Hendrich · « **Reply #6 on:** January 11, 2009, 09:42:05 pm »

Thats what I don't get, why provide links leading to false accusations of files working with each other?

Anyways, remember that the tremded found on the guide is compatible with p-g-qvm, atleast tell us if your problem was solved so we know that your okay now.

. I used the same folders from the TJW's site. Yes, my folders are in the right spot. I decided to go to my friends house and see if it worked. Still no luck. Anyone know why its not working on my, or my friends computer? We really want to make our own server, but some unforseen error occurs.

You need an up to date tremded.exe

How many more times does the answer need to be said???

Until people learn that they have to increment the API version whenever they change the API.
