how to turn on mods

Get a QVM that has such abusive things in it.
I think paradox's one has all that junk in it.

Out of the loop again?

Ah, I missed mix being removed last time I looked.  Slap is apparently non-abusive >_>.
So what is the retards QVM of choice ATM?  Is Nero's thing still so unstable its unusable?

[mooseberry]

I think if you want to go crazy use Nero's I've seen 3 servers I think that use it *fine*.

[professor]

yea ok sure now where do i find that??

[epsy]

did you even try to search(ZOMG HINT!!) before posting this?

[Bissig]

yea ok sure now where do i find that??

By reading these forums and using the forums search AND stopping to let other people read it for you.

[professor]

ok i got neros qvm and i replaced the old qvm i was using, but nothing happened

[epsy]

Try starting tremded.

[professor]

ive done that and ive refreshed it and everything

[epsy]

what did you do to "replace the old qvm" ?
how is it not working ? did you try using !weapons ?

[professor]

well i got neros qvm and put that in, and my admin.dat nvr filled in, so someone made me one, and i restarted the server and none of the cmds that should be there are, and i tryed weapons and it didnt work
and the admin.dat i was made wwas supposed to have 12 lvls and there is still only 5

[epsy]

he's what i did to put it up:

1/ get the game.qvm, and put it inside a newly created vm folder of a zip archive that you will have created too
2/ rename the arching so it looks like vms-something.pk3, for example zomg123.zip -> vms-nero-crazy.pk3
3/ now go to the directory where you have the base dir, and create a nero directory, at the same level, so that you have base and nero in the same dir
4/ put the pk3 we created into that new dir

Now you have the MOD installed, you need to tell tremded that you want it to actually run that mod, to do that, add on the commandline this:

Code Select Expand

+set fs_game "nero"

That's it, also please read carefully the topic about that qvm, you need to turn on some cvars in order to have some stuff running, like !weapons

You don't have to create a PK3 if all you're running is a QVM.

ok ok i sort of get it, just tell me if im right ok?
1/ download neros qvm put it in new vm folder of a zip archive<-- ok whats that? and how do i make it?
2/ rename that thing as vms-nero.pk3
3/ go to the base folder where all my maps r, make a nero directory(is that a folder) at the same level?!(DONT UNDERSTAND THAT!) so that nero, and base r in the same folder??
4/ put that pk3 the nero 1?? into the folder?? ok
i can do the part about telling tremded to use it thats easy...

[epsy]

1/ download neros qvm put it in new vm folder of a zip archive<-- ok whats that? and how do i make it?

on windows you have to click File -> New -> Zip Archive, then create a folder in it and place the qvm
on linux/mac it can be done like this on the console(not trem's, the OS's):

Code Select Expand

mkdir vm
mv /path/to/the/cgame.qvm vm/
zip -r nero-crazy.pk3 vm/

2/ rename that thing as vms-nero.pk3

Yes, but make really sure you remove the .zip part, it would be vms-nero.pk3.zip otherwise

3/ go to the base folder where all my maps r, make a nero directory(is that a folder) at the same level?!(DONT UNDERSTAND THAT!) so that nero, and base r in the same folder??

No, go up one directory first, so that you have this:

Code Select Expand

base/
     maps-abc.pk3
     ...
nero/
     vms-nero-crazy.pk3

PS: you wont need to copy maps, tremulous will look in the base dir too after having looked in the nero dir

[Bomb]

on linux/mac it can be done like this on the console(not trem's, the OS's):

Not necessary. All you have to do is right-click.

Again, you don't have to make a PK3 if you're just trying to run a QVM.

sorry but i can't detail the process for 36 different GUIs, console has always been and still is the best way to give an explanation for UNIXes, stop posting pointless crap

Oh, you want references? here you go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798303

Meh, true enough. Never mind.

Although your flame/troll was a fine example of "pointless crap" if I ever saw one.
