[SOLVED]A Problem with Trembot

[mickey159]

I read the instruction of trembot.
It saids: Replace the qvm file downloaded.
I have done this but nothing works.
Are there any instruction that works?
(somebody said make a new vm folder and put the qvm in the folder,but it doesn't work)
I use Windows XP and the newest version of Tremulous

Give some more information: what tremded and qvm did you use, where did you put the qvm, how did you launch the server, and how do you know it doesn't work? (errors?)
I'd guess you used the in-game 'Create a server' option?

[David]

Which trembot are you talking about?

[mickey159]

what is tremded?
I put the qvm in a folder called vm in the root folder of tremulous.
There is no error but I can't use trembot.
How can I use the Trembot commands?I just don't understand what admin panel is.
Is it something like the in-game console?
Do I need to click something in the mods button?
Also,how can I create a server without using the in-game create a server option?

I use the trembot downloaded from this forum!!!
Additional information:I play Tremulous with friends through LAN.
Hope this answers/information can help to solve the questions.

I am totally a n00b and please guide me!
I am very unhappy  because I just can't kill insects with my friends.

Guide to making a server(someone fix the code tag to use horizontal scrolling ). You will need a tremded that matches your trembot qvm, and if you can't figure out which to choose, post link to the forum topic you got the qvm from.

Thanks for your guide.But there is a problem:
I don't have access for cmd, application Data and registry.(I play Tremulous in school only)
So how can I install Trembot?(I mean how can I play bots with friends without making a 24 hour server)
We play Tremulous in school using LAN and

And I find a tremnd from the Lakitu patch 's website.

PS:What is the features of Lakitu patch and how can I install it?

Thanks!

You probably mean Lakitu's qvm, which is pretty much the standard qvm, and afaik most others are based off of some version of Lakitu's qvm. To run a server, you need: tremded.exe which is the program itself, qvms which defines how the game plays (you want a qvm with bots), and data .pk3 files (maps, models, etc). The qvm and tremded.exe have to be compatible with each other.
If you don't have access to application data, you will need to tell the server to use a different location as fs_homepath by adding

Code: [Select]

+set fs_homepath "C:\path\to\wherever" at the end of the target field in the tremserver.bat which I think is linked to in that guide.
I think you could even install the server on a USB drive, by setting fs_homepath (user) and fs_basepath (main) in the tremserver.bat.

Thanks for your reply.
But still a n0b question:
how can I use the ! commands?

[mickey159]

Thank you very much.
I can successfully install Trembot!
But can I make it a local server?(The server that I made is an Internet server)
The IP fowarding part tells me that I can't host a server and play at the same computer.(local server)

Also, can I use relative path for homepath?

[UniqPhoeniX]

For admin commands you need to edit admin.dat file and give yourself the necessary flags. Or create an admin level that has those and then !setlevel yourself to that level.
You can set dedicated 1 in the tremserver.bat if you don't want the server visible in server list. Otherwise there is no difference between local/internet server afaik.
You can play on the same computer if your router supports it (or that's how I understood the guide, and I can play on same computer). You can try setting the server net_port to a different port, like 32123. If you don't see your server, use /connect 127.0.0.1:32123 (or whatever the net_port is).
I don't know about using relative path.

[mickey159]

If I want the server be visible,I need to use dedicated 2,right?
What is the server name after I execute the bat?
Also,if I want to join my own server,do I need to add in the favourite list?(127.0.0.1:32123)

[ACKMAN]

When you make a server you have to search for it into the "LAN" server list. Even if dedicated is set to 2.

[mickey159]

I use dedicated 2.
But I can't see my server in the server list.(Local & Internet)

[ACKMAN]

Have you tried refreshing server list? lol

[mickey159]

of course yes lol
