The info is not useless when you have to prove to server's administrator that the server is popular. But if KTX team could add any command that give us this sort of information, it's ok for me!

how about server demos?

2 new KTX servers in Australia:
slashquit.besmella.com:27501
slashquit.besmella.com:27502
Both with latest KTX/MVD on *nix

With the number of demos you know the number of matches, but you can't tell the number of players or specs. Unless you open each demo and count!

duel: 2 players + 0.5 specs
2on2: 4 players + 1 spec
4on4: 8 players + 2 specs
:-)

Since putting these servers up i've found a couple of problems with them:
1. No Tie-Break overtime setting.
2. Fallbunny still requires admin to change.

Otherwise KTX ftw!

can you guys implement a chat symbol like in Quake3 when the player is typing or wandering through menus?

great suggestion
altho wouldn't that be on the client-side as well?

that must be client+server side

This feature need changes in qw protocol...

2Tonik: New z_ext?

Theres a bug with the rocket jump commands-- I keep them bound to mwheelup and mwheeldown so sometimes i'll accidently send it twice. In ktpro(/fbca) this doesn't seem to do anything, in KTX it causes me to shoot a second rocket midair or when I land.

Also, I set up A US server on atl.failsport.com default port. Servers located in Atlanta Georgia.

fixed

how can i disable runes in CTF? i hate them :<

Change #186

i asked a friend hosting the only QW server in Romania to switch on KTX (latest beta KTX + latest MVDSV)

http://www.quakeservers.net/?p=status&id=1205

there is a problem though!

after countdown starts the server freezes and restarts itself, this maybe because it's trying to write a demo and doesn't have enough rights. i'll see what can be done

edit:
[22:42] <AquaSharK> the error was from the demo recording thing
[22:43] <AquaSharK> if you don't have disk writing rights and the server tries to record a MVD the server crashes

it's up to you to decide wether the mvdsv or ktx has a problem

i'm test what u talk about on localhost, does't crashes for me, i just got warning in server conosole: ERROR: couldn't open ... but server continue working.

And i look sources, can't spot where crash possible in such case.
Btw, try get newest mvdsv from CVS.

yes locally it would work for me also
he was using the linux MVDSV build i guess so there may be a difference..


i disabled mvd demo recording on that server and now it doesn't crash anymore

Something wrong with mvdsv ur friend uses anyway, he shouts about player eyes when i connects and some other things which i can't understand, also this demorecording crash...

mvdsv is the latest version 0.20 build 2376

btw is there a way for an admin to change maxspectators variable?

Change #199

And get today build http://ktx.quakeworld.nu/beta.php

CTF .ents for all dmX and eXmX maps. Ripped from Threewave CTF
http://twig.nemen.nu/siikah/files/quake/server/maps_threewave_mapents.zip

Seems that flag get spawned twice if you use them on maps with flags already on them though.

Siikah, how do you use it? Put on server or client? Put where? I'd like to play CTF @ DM2! =)

in the map dir of the server or in a ent dir if the server supports that

As zalon said. Put them in qwsv/ktx/maps/ and execute add "sv_loadentfiles 1" to your serverconfig. At least with mvdsv.

i'm talk with siikah on IRC about double flags, i think he has .ent file for ID maps which already have internall support by KTX, this mean on few ID maps KTX put flags and ctf spawns internally, so we does't require .ent file for such maps.

maps "supported" by KTX is: e1m7 e2m1 e2m2 e2m5 e4m3.

support as almost all (99.999%) of ctf code was added by ult

That works just fine, but I got another problem. When I switch from ctf back to normal tp by typing 4on4 for example, flags/runes/etc. disappears but some things don't change, like teleport from RAMH to BIG @ DM2 is still jammed, teleport from TELE leads to Q instead of HI-TELE, etc.

WTF? =)

That happens because of the .ent files. sv_loadentfiles 0 and restart map should solve it for now. Will probably work if you add sv_loadentfiles 0 to ktx/usermodes/4on4/default.cfg (or even in each usermodes defaultconfig). Don't know if it's possible to have reparate entfiles for each gamemode. Would probably be a good thing since ktx is "all mods in one" .

reparate = separate?
Currently this is impossible, but i can add something like sv_entdir to mvdsv, so server may take .ent not just from /maps/ but from something like /maps/4on4/ or /maps/ctf/ ... and we can set sv_entdir in usermods cfgs...

Yeah, separate

IMHO - do not hack mvdsv. Just put sv_loadents 0/1 in your gamemode-cfg's

I.e. you have CTF .ent's in quakedir/qw/maps/. To play CTF you type /ctf in console, and server executes some cfg, so sv_loadents becames 1. When you going to play 4on4 --> /4on4 --> no .ent loading
