Simply put, with your setup... you can't.

[Fluxflashor]

I can tell you how to change your default BP to 128 instead of 100 though...

Get a HexEditor program like Hex Wrokshop [Google it]. Bear with me on this sicne I don't ahev a copy at school of the program but I can get more precise instructions when I get home in 3 hours.

Open your game.qvm with HexWorkshop, than go to the edit menu, and go to find. Change the scroll down box to Text String and type in humanbuildpoints. Click Ok. This should now take you to a line in the script where buildpoints are, change the number 100 to 128.

First go to Run in the start menu and type in cmd.exe tog et to command prompt. Type in "cd C:\program files\tremulous" to change the path it goes to. [No Quotations] than type in  "tremded.exe +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg" without quotation marks of course, and when you hit enter, a console will appear. Type in "set_humanbuildpoints 128" [No quotations] to change the humans build points to stay with the new default, repeat for alien.

The instructions are of course if you are running windows.

To set admin rights for your self you will need to create an rcon password in your server.cfg a smaple one can be downloaded from tjw's site. you should get a program like edit pad pro to create these cfg files.

I have no idea what an apache server is, i'm guessing you use it for webhosting and this will nto work, because they don't use a computer to laod your pages. No RAM no processors.[At least I think] Host it all on a computer you currently use, or a spare lying around your house. I know sst hosts tremulous servers for a small fee of course. I believe their site is www.ssthosting.net

Sorry for bad speeling school don't use mozilla firefox, no spellcheck

OMG.... this is soo fucken wrong.

You DONT hex the game.qvm under any circumstances.
BPs are just vars in a config file.

[Fluxflashor]

hex the game file it works, and the server.cfg just resets itself. Trust me on this one, my server works when i hexed the game.qvm

[Caveman]

Flux it might work, I dont disagree on that point.
But still you DO NOT hex the binary, not even if it is the "windows way" as you claim it.

[Fluxflashor]

Why don't you hex the binary, if you fuck it up, just re download it, and it's very hard to fuck up.

[raf]

why the fuck would you want to change a value (that you can freely adjust) by hexing the binary files of an _open source_ program?
thats just bullshit Oo

[next_ghost]

Because clueless people don't know the EASY way. And I think I'll steal your clue pill link, Caveman

[Fluxflashor]

Than what is the easy way? Going to your console and typing in
set_humanbuildpoints 128

Because when the map changes or the server is restaretd the value will reset to 100 and not stay 128.

[next_ghost]

write set g_humanBuildPoints "128" in the maprotation file or in the map config file. Problem solved.

[Carteludo]

where can i find server.cfg file as i am expiriencing the same problem. i cant get admin right s on my new server.

[Thorn]

OR you could fix the whole problem by playing with proper buildpoints
