Quake 3 dedicated server problem!!

maze_fire · 03-03-2004, 04:38 PM

when i start quake3 server in rh9...

./q3ded +exec server.cfg

everything seems to load fine..except after it resolves the quake3 master server, it keeps "sending heartbeat to master.quake3arena.com" (i can't remember the exact name of the server, but i think that's right)

anyways, this is on a rh9 box with two nics...one is for internet (cable) broadband connection and other is for lan side...i use it as dhcp/file/dns server... it will resolve the host names to ip addresses for the master servers, but just keeps giving the "sending heartbeat" message over and over... can anyone help?? thx in advance!!

try the +set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (I think that is the command) and do you have +set dedicated 2 anywhere?

And just for giggles specify a map to start. My server would load but not start a game without a map specified.

Are you firewalling? If so check your ports.

Its been a while but it seems like there were two or three master servers that you could put into your server.cfg.

try this:

- vim startup_27960
- paste code from below CONSIDERING that you change the variables and paths as needed
- ESC
- :wq
- ENTER
- chmod +x startup_27960
- run it with ./startup_27960

Code:

# Variables
MY_IP='XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
# 27960 default port unless running more than one server (27960, 27961, 27962... 
MY_PORT='27960'


## Start server
#cd "/usr/local/games/quake3"
exec 2>&1
/usr/local/games/quake3/q3ded   \
        +set dedicated 2 \
        +set net_port ${MY_PORT} \
        +set net_IP ${MY_IP} \
        +set fs_basepath /usr/local/games/quake3/ \
        +set vm_game 2 \
        +set com_hunkMegs 128 \
        +set ttycon 0 \
        +set fs_game osp \
        +exec server.cfg &

this is how I start my quake 3 servers and it works perfectly fine

Dear retiredsoldier
Plz say, how do u protect ur quakeIII Arena gameserver of hacking, i mean u have 2 run it from another user, then root, all my dedicated-servers runs like that, but i cant run q3 server with user privilages =(. Look at it:

Code:

[root@games games]# ls -al | grep q3
drwxr-xr-x    8 u_q3     gs_q3        4096 Sep 28 13:55 q3
[root@games games]#

Code:

[root@games games]# cd q3
[root@games q3]# sudo -b -u u_q3 ./q3ded
Q3 1.31 linux-i386 Dec 17 2001
----- FS_Startup -----
Sys_Error: Unable to create directory "/root/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13)

[root@games q3]#

Code:

[root@games q3]# pwd
/home/games/q3
[root@games q3]# cat /etc/passwd | grep q3
u_q3:x:504:505::/home/games/q3/:/sbin/nologin
[root@games q3]#

So, what i did wrong?
