Hi all, I have re-fired up my old q2 server. however, without changing anything in the .cfg file, I now cannot get the game listed in eye, gamespy, or even do a connect myip in console and connect. It is connectable ONLY on my LAN. In the .cfg I have the following: set public 1 setmaster q2master.planetquake.com Any ideas? TIA OTG

I'll have to re-look at my server set up to verify. But the above example will only get you on one master, not the GameSpy master or others, you'll need a separate address for each master server. Also, do you have a Firewall running? If so, you'll need to put the host in the DMZ so that it will advertise correctly otherwise while the server may send the heartbeat, no one will be able to actually "see" the server. Depending on your particular setup, you may also need to "port forward" the Q2 ports to the DMZ machine.... This worked for me with a Cable connection and a LINKSYS router.... -Auto-

IP addy is 66.93.40.117:27910 It is lithium deathmatch, in other words lithium without a hook or runes. I used Lithium because the rocket damage and speed was configurable as well as other weapon strength. It's on the west coast of USA in Oregon. Hope to see ya in there.

It's up again. At the suggestions of some friends I have added lots of customs. I could go back to dm1-dm8 pretty easilly though. I don't know, what do you think?

Problem is, I don't have any custom deathmatch maps at all, since I never really played dm.

This thing is up 24/7 now. Many maps can be retrieved from Tom's ftp site, many from grieve's folder at that site.
