Methinks it's working. You just need to join it.

[==Troy==]

Me also thinks its working, but also me thinks that this guy = master@sparta.

[[^ITC]Master]

Do you mean that someone has to join the game to start the server???
If its that then ok!

[[^ITC]Master]

um.. do i have to join my own server??? to make it work???

[Caveman]

Well, what did you expect?
If no one joins your server (don't you dare and ask how to get ppl to join) then there is nothing else written to the server console.

[[^ITC]Master]

I tryed looking for my server but i dont find it on the list i even got a new list...

[[^ITC]Master]

Yes I got it to work but how do i make myself a admin? and why is my server only on LAN?

[[^ITC]Master]

MY BAD IT IS ONLY ON LOCAL WHY???

Your server is most likely behind your routers firewall, so you need to open ports in order for everyone to see your server.
If you don't have a router then I believe that you are good and people just need to find your server.

[[^ITC]Master]

How do you get this router???

[[^ITC]Master]

My dad wont open my routers firewall and he wont open any ports darn...

[Oblivion]

Well theres your problem right there.
Ports need to be open.

[[^ITC]Master]

THANKS

Yes you need a admin.dat file in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Usr\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base

In this file it will hold this information:

All of this information is all the Levels/Admins/Bans/Commands.

So you will need to copy what I have pasted and remove the current admins that are there unless you want to be nice and allow them to be admin on your server

oblivion: posting an answer that is completely wrong is worse than posting no answer at all,
both of you should search the forum, since this question has been asked and answered many times

what does this mean and why?

you can't use a game.qvm with svn syscalls with your client, you need to use tjw's tremded to run a server.

Oh, I am terribly sorry, I just read the first line.
Sorry for my answer given.
