Server Hosting

Here's the plan:

I play on the X server all the time. So much that I stink on other servers because of it. I would like to host a local server with just my friends, but I want the server to be just like the X server. How do I do this? Please note that I know nothing of server hosting. I'm not even going to tell you what I think I need to do 'cause it probably wrong. Any help would be awesome.

To make the server like X you would need to save qvm that X uses.  The X people have never released any of that stuff, so you can't do it.

Maybe make your local server not x so you can practice and suck less everywhere else?

I don't believe this is true

http://xserverx.com/qvm/

In the server's forum there is instructions on how to get a server running, what settings you need, etc. After you get that working, you might just be able to grab the x server qvm, stick it in your base folder and off you go.

However, I agree with spork.

I agree with spork.

And also from the website:

:) don't take this the wrong way anyone!  Just a Joke!! (even though it really is from their website)

Would anyone be so nice as to post a guide here? I'm having a hard time finding one.

Well they didn't in the past, I don't keep up with X server stuff that much.

It seems like everything I say is out-of-date now :(

Not really. Actually I'm running the servers on some else's database that they let me rent. Currently only hosting 2 but very strong and the speed for downloading and playing is incredible.
