Server Basics

[crazyamerican]

I am trying to make a small server just for me and a friend. The problem is that he doesn't live near me and I have no idea how to go about making a server. Please note this in your replies! He and I would like to have a race on mission_one_b7, but I have to make a server in order for us to do it. Please post a very noobish guide or link to one.

Thanks in advance,
crasyamerican

to make it simple for you: which version of tremulous are you playing? Default 1.1, a more recent 1.1 client, or gpp? And what OS are you using (windows, linux mac)?

Is it really that hard to use the search function? :/

Take a look at the appropriate sticky in the Servers forum. If you use Tremfusion there's already a "tremded" for you to use, so you don't have to download anything.

Don't forget to set up your router!

Do you guys really think I haven't searched?!?! The reason why I posted here is because I am a total noob at server hosting! I have no idea what a tremded is or a game.qvm or anything else the other posts talk about. I need an incredibly noobish guide to this.

I am running Tremulous 1.2 with the Tremfusion client on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

Tremded is the dedicated server for Tremulous. Go into your Tremulous binaries area (/usr/bin/games/ maybe?) and you'll see "tremded". If you don't like Tremfusion's server use the MG one.

The game.qvm is the "Quake Virtual Machine", which basically says what game is going to be on your server. Download whatever one you want, I personally like Rezyn's (link appears to be broken right now but it might be up again in a few minutes) but Lakitu7's is also good.

Then use this guide.


These instructions are for 1.1, if you want to set up a GPP server it might be different.

Good searching. I suppose you did not find the SERVER section?
