7.0.0 - Server Administration

7.1.0 - Before you start

You must have the latest Quake 3 Point Release installed (Currently 1.32, 1.32b for Linux). If not, you can find the latest ones here:

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/

From there, just choose the appropriate folder (win32, linux, etc)

Also, make sure you've downloaded the full RQ3 3.0 package and any updates (3.1, 3.2, etc.) needed which you can download from any link on the RQ3 website:

http://www.reactionquake3.com/

NOTE: Do NOT use any of the files or configurations from RQ3 1.x. Remove all those files prior to installing RQ3 3.0 or you may have odd conflicts and problems with your server. You may use configs from the 2.x versions of RQ3 but you may need to edit them.

7.2.0 - Sample server launch commands

For Win32, you can create a Bat file in Notepad to be saved in your Quake 3 directory with the following information:

====================Cut Here=======================
Quake3.exe +cvar_restart +set net_port 27960 +set vm_game 2 +set fs_game rq3 +set dedicated 2 +exec example-rq3.cfg
====================Cut Here=======================

In this example, we'll save the file as rq3.bat in your Quake 3 directory and create a shortcut to the desktop of that.

[Note: Set Dedicated [1=Don't advertise to Master Servers(Private)/2=Advertise to Master Servers(Public)]

For Linux, create a new file in your Quake3 dir and type in the following using your favorite linux text editor:

====================Cut Here=======================
./q3ded +cvar_restart +set net_port 27960 +set fs_homepath /usr/local/games/quake3 +set fs_basepath /usr/local/games/quake3 +set vm_game 2 +set fs_game rq3 +set dedicated 2 +exec example-rq3.cfg &
====================Cut Here=======================

Save the file as rq3, and make it executable (ex. chmod +x rq3)

7.3.0 - Sample server.cfg file

Now, here's the generic server.cfg that is called by the above "command" files, this is placed within your "rq3" directory:

    ====================Cut Here=======================
    // Default RQ3 Server Configuration File
    // Double slashes are used for comments and to keep commands from running.
    // Remove the slashes before a specific to run that command.

7.4.0 - Sample rq3.ini file

With Reaction 3.0 comes the addition of the rq3.ini file, which functions the in the same manner as the action.ini file from AQ2, but is much more functional. Below is a sample file, which is also placed in your "rq3" folder:

    ====================Cut Here=======================
    # This is an example TeamPlay ini for ReactionQuake3 servers.  Lines begining
    # with '#' are comments.  Everything after '//' on a line is also a comment.
    # This file is based on CannonFodder's rq3.ini

    # The ini should begin with a main section.  The cvars here are global defaults.
    <main>

7.5.0 - Launching and interacting with the RQ3 server

To launch the server:

In Win32, just double click on the rq3.bat file you created and the console should spawn and read in all the information from your server.cfg and rq3.ini files, and your game is started.

In Linux, cd to your quake3 directory and type the following command:

    screen ./rq3

This will bring up a reaction server console which you can easily detach and go on to other things by typing the following: Ctrl-A D

To get back to the console after detaching it, type the following command at an linux shell prompt:

    ps -auwx

and look a process similar to this following line:

    scott    19241  0.5  0.1  2712 1348 ?        S    13:54   0:00 SCREEN ./react

the #19241 is the process id, which you'll need if you run multiple screen processes:

To re-attach to the console type the following command:

    screen -r <process id #> (ex. Screen -r 19241)

More in-depth and detailed installation/setup information will be forthcoming in the future. If you have any questions, please ask them here:

7.6.0 - List of server cvars

g_RQ3_IniFile | "rq3.ini" | Specifies the name of the file that holds the server's map rotation.
sv_RQ3_cvarfile | "cvar.cfg" | Specifies the name of the file that holds the server's cvar checks. Handy for leagues that require different restrictions--you can use different pre-made files on one server with relative ease to conform to restrictions from different leagues.
g_gametype | 0 | "0" - Deathmatch "3" - Team Deathmatch "4" - Teamplay "5" - Capture the Briefcase
g_RQ3_tdmMode | 0 | TeamDM mode, 0 is TP-like where you can choose your own weapons and items, 1 is DM-like where you spawn with a pistol and knife and have to pick up the unique weapons placed on the map
g_allowvote | 1 | Set voting by players on the server. 1=on, 0=off
g_RQ3_vote_waittime | 15 | Blocks people from voting when a map first loads so they can't get a vote passed before other people connect in. Default is 15 seconds of blocking.
g_RQ3_maxClientVotes | 3 | Number of times per map that each client can call votes/team votes
g_RQ3_sniperup | 0 | Sniper control. Set this to 1 to make players with sniper spawn with it instead of the pistol. Set this to 0 to make the behavior exactly like AQ2 1.52
g_RQ3_ctb_respawndelay | 0 | Set delay of CTB respawns in seconds. When 0, scaling CTB respawn delay is active (recommended setting)
g_friendlyfire | 0 | 0 = FF off, 1 = FF on, 2 = FF off, knockback on (Q3-style)

g_RQ3_showOwnKills | 0 | If enabled (set to "1"), players can see their own obituaries (see who they frag). Set to 0 to make the behavior exactly like AQ2 1.52. Also controls $K behavior--if set to "0" then $K will only report who was last HIT, not who was last KILLED.
g_RQ3_matchmode | 0 | Setting to "1" enables Teamplay matchmode. Handy for clan matches/clan wars. Especially handy for league and ladder matches such as for OGL, BWAQSL, STA, PWG, PG, etc.

g_RQ3_roundlimit | 0 | The number of wins by one team before the map is ended. 0 = no limit
g_RQ3_roundtimelimit | 2 | The number of minutes a round can go on before a winner is declared. 0 = no limit
g_RQ3_maxWeapons | 1 | The maximum number of "unique weapons" a player can carry (the bandolier adds 1 to a player's max carry)

This variable should be set to 2 for clan matches, etc (default = 0)
g_RQ3_maxteamkills | 0 | The maximum number of teammates a player can kill in one map before he is temporarily banned from the server. Only applies during friendly-fire enabled teamplay games. Players will also be banned for wounding teammates, if they wound 4*maxteamkills teammates. Setting this to zero disables the feature

7.8.0 - Explanation of message cvars

Basically for the defaults, if you commit 6 message lines within 3 seconds, you get a warning/timeout of 15 seconds. If you repeat 3 times, you get a ban - which is a 60 second timeout. After that, the warnings reset. The example configs have tightened it up to 4 message lines within 1 second to reduce spamming.

7.9.0 - cvar.cfg

The intent of these checks is to limit possible player abuse of the video cvars (r_*) which could ruin the game atmosphere.

    cvar name minvalue maxvalue

Clients will have these cvar values polled during the course of the game. If a client's cvar does not have a value that falls within the minvalue and maxvalue range, he/she is disconnected indicating which cvar limits were exceeded.
