Right-o, the only 3 server-side modes I can currently run are devq2,
eraserultra, and one other that I forget the name of right now (don't
have it installed). I'm just wondering if the authors of the add-on's
took the time to make them Mac compatible or not.

However, there is something interesting here. The original version of
Q2 will not run on my machine. Long after q2 was a done deal as far as
up-keep is concerned, the mac got a new OS (OS X). Since it is
completely different then the old OS, q2 would not run on it unless I
went into the old OS via emulation which was craapy to say the least
performance wise. Some good coder out here in cyber-space took the time
to write a Mac OS X fix so that it would run native on my machine. Not
an ID Software guy so it must have been a labor of love, one which I
greatly appreciated. Anyway, when I installed it I got 3 new folders,
Xatrix, Rogue, and Action. I am assuming that these might be the files
I need. The folders all have a file called "GamePPC.q2plug" which I
believe is the mac equivilent of a qamex86.dll file. (After typing that
I tried to fire up an action server, and although a big buggy with my
first attemp, it did work). So does having these files mean if I get
the add-on's I can play? This would be cool.

I'm gonna play around with the action settings and see what else I can
do in the mean time :)

Thanks for the reply.
