did you read that? - or did you mean you did when you said that you moved the file everywhere?

[FooBar]

Yup, Ace, it sounds like somehow Balance mod stuff got installed and put in the wrong folder, i.e. tremulous/base.  You'll have to go through everything in the base folder (in both the user Tremulous directory and the program Tremulous directory) and weed out any files that match

base/data*.pk3
base/vms*.pk3

Leave only data-1.1.0.pk3 and vms-1.1.0.pk3 (these are the original default files).  Delete the base/vm folder(s) entirely for now.  Then you'll have to re-download TJW's files.

Is this on a computer at school, or your home computer?  If you didn't visit a Balance-mod server, or download and install the Balance mod yourself, someone else has probably been messing around with it.

[tuple]

Foobar, some much needed documentation is greatly appreciated.

For those looking to do such things as create their own admin commands or find out what many of those server variables do, you can check out the MG Documentation project.  You can find out How to make admin commands and also find a bunch of pre-made admin commands to get you started and show what is possible.

If you are curious about what all those server variables are, you can check out the variable list which, while incomplete, should at least help most people find the basic variables and what they do.

[ViSK]

I've noticed that my server disappear from server list if the list is updated more that 1 time during less than few seconds ... and after some seconds it reappers in the list again ...

I think that is probably coused by some kind of anti-flood patch or something like that ...

I'm actuallyu using Tremded from TJW, and Avanger's game.qvm ... but maybe is can be fixed from the "server.cfg" file ...

Well, how to disable this "anti-flood" .. or whatever it is ? (if it is the reason of that problem ...)

Thats what i get after placing the files where the are supposed to be.
Im not understanding if something is wrong or if im just not firguring out the next step correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

[David]

You have a tremded / game.qvm mismatch.
make sure both are the same version.

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

I got them both from this thread so they should be same or workable.

[David]

Probably means the qvm is in the wrong place, or your running the wrong tremded.
triple check all the paths.  the qvm should be in ~/.tremulous/base/vm not the install directory.

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

Im gonna have to double and triple check them all again to make sure.

i dont think i have an vm file if i do not how do i make it ?

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

Ok i set it up but when i added it to my favs in game it said it was  a 54 player server and had 40 people on it already but when i tryed to login it made me wait for connection for like 1 minute.

Im wondering if its possible to run a server and play on it from the same pc.

[EVIL BRINGER]

so just hit create server then wat?  :-?  :-?

[EVIL BRINGER]

tremded.exe - <Main>\tremded.exe


it says "couldn't load defualt.cfg"

[n00b pl0x]

tremded.exe - <Main>\tremded.exe


it says "couldn't load defualt.cfg"

you haxxed your data-1.1.0

[EVIL BRINGER]

okay i reinstalled tremulous on my pc and now it works so know wat?

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

Ok i have succesfully set up a server but i now need to port forward in order to get it seen on full list of servers.

[next_ghost]

okay i reinstalled tremulous on my pc and now it works so know wat?

map whatever
voila, your server is up and running.

Rabbitt"]Ok i have succesfully set up a server but i now need to port forward in order to get it seen on full list of servers.

Read the router manual.

[EVIL BRINGER]

it is? but i need to port forward still!

[Plague Bringer]

Bitch stole my name.

jk

[EVIL BRINGER]

still how do i get code to port foward?

this is pops up when i try to open tremulous.exe,tremded.exe!

[TinMan]

It's not loading data-1.1.0.pk3, re-install trem to get it back if you deleted it or something.

[next_ghost]

Tremulous.exe and tremded.exe must sit next to your base directory in your system-wide Tremulous installation. :roll:

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

Believe me its easier then most think but it does take common sense which some folks just dont seem to have.
Make sure you have tremded and tremulous in programfiles\tremulous folder.
make sure you game.qvm file is in documentsandsettings\username\localsettings\applicationdata\tremulous\base\vm which you might have to create the vm folder though.

Once that is done youll need to make a create a guid which is easy just another trem.exe file that i just downloaded from tjw's backport.

Your server.cfg file will need to be altered or if you know of someone with a server setup you like then you could try to get the file from them or alter it yourself.

[Janook]

How do you apply other people's patches?
You know, all those files taht end in .patch
And when you open it up it's a bunch of text.
Do you put those in your server.cfg ? (probably not)
Do you need to, erm, put it in the game.qvm somehow?

[sleekslacker]

You need to compile your own qvms to apply the patches. Please people use the search button. RTFM. If you can't follow simple instructions how are we supposed to help you ?

[Janook]

spent the last 4 hours looking. stfu.

http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3586#49071

I spent like what.. 3 minutes searching for that.

You'll need to:

   1. use Subversion to download an SVN from svn.icculus.org/tremulous
   2. apply any other peoples' patches that you want, fixing any conflicts if they don't mix well
   3. figure out how to implement your own new changes
   4. make the changes you want
   5. debug all the problems with your changes
   6. compile it

And if you cared enough to read the .patch files when you opened them, you could have googled for keyword 'diff' etc. Here is a free link :
http://directory.fsf.org/patch.html

I don't expect people like you to run a server anyway :sigh:
Learn how to use google and you might save that 4 hours in the future.

[[NubS] Rabbitt]

lol you guys are too funny ... 4 hours searching for soemthing ?

If it took 4 hours i think you would have given up long before that time span.
