I've managed to get a QW server up and running, so me and my bro can
both connect to it over the net. It plays really smooth and brings
back a lot of memories of online gaming from 97-98 period. My only
problem is I want to get a QW CTF server running but can only get a DM
server going. I know in normal Quake you have to set a -game directory
but just can't seem to figure out how to change the game type for a QW
server. Any help would be much appreciated

from the server window type gamedir (name of mod directory)
eg gamedir ctf
map (name of map you which to play)
if you enter a pw in rcon_password you can control the server ingame from the qw
client

from the console rcon (your pw) then whatever command you want to issue
eg rcon password map dm6

here's a pretty basic server.cfg file 
to give you a few idea's (must be in quake\id1
localinfo controls maps and map rotation

hostname "my server"
gamedir manic
deathmatch 3
watervis 1
teamplay 0
timelimit 30
fraglimit 40
samelevel 2
maxclients 16
maxspectators 8
serverinfo Machine "PII400"
serverinfo admin "ma...@to.me"
rcon_password "user"
map dm6
localinfo dm6 ultrav
localinfo ultrav debello
localinfo debello dm4 
localinfo dm4 dm3
localinfo dm3 dm5
localinfo dm5 dm6
