| Quake2 Server on Linux... Hello Everyone- I know Quake2 is considered an old game, but Im still hooked. I have downloaded and installed the Q^2 files and it seems to be running on the linux machine, but I cannot connect to it. All machines on my network can ping to it and I do not have any firewall rules (iptables) configured on the linux machine.
I edited the Makefile to only compile the BUILD_DEDICATED module. Since linux is only going to be the server. Everything seems fine during compiling and launching (./quake2 +set dedicated1) and the process is running.
When in Gamespy I can resolve the local IP 192.168.0.2 to the hostname of the machine. So thats good news. But Quake2 cannot connect to the server. Could it be the port number? But if I didn't set the port number shouldn't it default to 27910? Is there a through the command line arguments in Quake (Windows or not) to specify a port number? Any other ideas why this might be occurring..? Is anyone else using the quake2 files from that site?
I don't think this is operating system specific so Im hoping someone here might be able to help. Thanx!
PS: I have posted this question on the gaming forum but no one has responded in a while.  |

That game is a little bit before my time, but if it is anything like RTCW you should be able to connect to it by choosing the local network in your game browser since your all networked together.
There are issues when trying to connect to your own server through the internet from behind a router. The only way this is possible is if you can get seperate IP addresses for each computer. (supposably)

Well, I didnt even think of trying to connect using my WAN IP but that didn't work either. Since there is a firewall on the router I placed the linux(q2 server) on the DMZ and Im still unableto connect. |

I seem to be at a loss. Im trying to install a server software, but Im not sure which linux install I should concentrate on. The software Im trying to install is OSP Tourney MOD for Quake2.
quote:
Quake2 OSP Linux/x86 glibc tourney-2.5-linux-x86-glibc.tar.gz(2.1MB)
Quake2 OSP Linux/x86 libc5 tourney-2.5-linux-x86-libc5.tar.gz(2.1MB)
Quake2 OSP Linux Alpha tourney-2.5-linux-alpha.tar.gz(348kB)
Quake2 OSP FreeBSD/x86 tourney-2.5-freebsd-x86.tar.gz(2.1MB)
Quake2 OSP Solaris/Sparc tourney-2.5-solaris-sparc.tar.gz(339kB)
Quake2 OSP Solaris/x86 tourney-2.5-solaris-x86.tar.gz
I have RedHat 8 with GNOME. The reason I phrased the question "which package to concentrate on" is because when trying to install the 'glibc" and the 'libc5' packages. The server terminates at launch with a "Segmentation Fault" error message with both the glibc and the libc5 packages.
Which package should I be concentrating on? When looking through the RedHat's packages in the CD it seems the glib libraries can be installed by selecting the "Developement Tools" packages, but after installing these, the server still crashes.
Actually, here is the full text. As you can see the program seems to start and almost fully load and waits til the very last second before it fails. :[

Can you load it without the Gladiator Bot? Is that part of OSP? I thought they were different. It seems to go through all of the start up for OSP and then putz's out after the mention of gladiator. |

Actually. I don't know how I failed to notice that. I don't think the Gladiator Bot is supported to linux. Im going to try to load it without the server trying to load the bots. Thanx! I'll keep ya posted... |

I went through all the text docs for OSP Tourney and it makes no mention of linux at all. Also, I read the steps on how to make the bots active and did the exact opposite without success. The server still crashes at the exact same spot.
From what I can tell by the error message it crashes when the 'tourney mod' is started. I say it this way because I can start a linux quake2 server without the OSP Tourney software. From the error message it appears as if it cannot render the graphics even as a dedicated server.
Im going to start digging for another linux based quake2 sever. If anyone knows of one (besides q2admin) I would greatly appreciate it.  |
