Another dude with server admin troubles

[Seanbot]

I'm attempting to set up a local Tremulous server on my network because the client hosting wasn't working so well.

So far I just grabbed a package for Linux and have tremded and all the pk3 files, I've set up the server config file and am running the server with the command tremded +exec server.cfg
The tutorials for getting servers up have been pretty pathetic, not going beyond "Type this in". I get up to the point that a level is loaded, but I can't seem to connect to the server, an nmap showed that there isn't any port open for it, so that's an issue, does tremded open it's own port or not?

The server won't start until a map is loaded, either add +map atcs to the command line or put it at the bottom of server.cfg.

You have to open the port by yourself..., then set it with +set net_netport port# when loading, your loading line should look pretty much like this:

Also, what David said.


tremded +set dedicated 2 +set net_port portnumber +exec server.cfg +map atcs

(use dedicated 2 if you want your server to be avalible on the master server list or 1 if you want to setup something such a lan party or something like that)

Thank you guys.
Turns out it was working for a while, I just didn't try to connect every time, nmap returned a false negative.

Now to get ioUrbanTerror to stop segfaulting...
ioQuake really hates me.
