ITS FOR FREE SO LOOK!
Lots of people dont know how to set up a home made Server and i have been asked many many times for help.
In this tutorial i am going to show you how to make a NoGhost Server for the Demo Server community,
There are many ways of going about making a NoGhost Server,
The fact of the matter is this is the easyest way i have found and you will come across no errors or
problems if you follow this word by word.
First off the mark you need to have 3 things
1, A half decent pc and internet connection.
2, A basic knowlage of using your pc.
3, And you will need a copy of the full version q3 arena and a copy of the demo version also.
Ok so lets get started,
First thing to do is make a New Folder on your "desktop", (right click on desktop and select "New \ Folder")
Call this Folder "Server"
In this "Server" Folder you are to make 2 more New Folders, (right click in the Server Folder and select "new"\"Folder")
Call 1 of these "Baseq3" and call the other "NoGhost"
Next thing to do is install or find your Q3 files,
Usualy if you have the original Quake 3 on cd you will have installed it to ..C:\Program Files\Quake 3 Arena\.
Im ashuming you have the 1.16n point realise installed if not download and install this first before moving on.
Now open your main Quake 3 arena Folder and you should have what you see here in this screenshot
and maybe a little more things depending on the mods you play and your game style.
Now you are at your main Quake 3 arena Folder you are to
open the Baseq3 Folder and make a copy of the "pak0.pk3" and also you need the "pak2.pk3"
place these copys in to the Folder you made on your "Desktop" "Server / Baseq3" Folder
now the "pak0.pk3" is in the Server Baseq3 Folder you are to rename it to "pak1.pk3"
Now you need to make use of the demo version q3, install or find your Q3 demo files.
Usualy when you install Q3 demo it will save to C:\Q3Ademo,
Now you have found your demo install files, Go to the Demoq3 Folder and copy the "pak0.pk3" file
and place this copy in your Server Baseq3 Folder,
So now in your Server Folder you have a NoGhost Folder and a
Baseq3 Folder with a pak0.pk3 a pak1.pk3 and a pak2.pk3 in that.
Next its time to go and get the NoGhost mod from NoGhost site,
On the main NoGhost home page you can see the mod named "Latest 1.16 Server Beta Build: Build 768 (May 13, 2007)"
You are to download and extract this to your desktop,
Now open up the NoGhost_beta Folder,
Then open the contaning NoGhost file,
In this NoGhost file you need a few things to put in to your "Server Folders".
First take the "NoGhost768.pk3" and place this in your Server \ noghost Folder,
Also next you need to think about what type of Server you are making,
There is a good selection of Server CFG files that come with the NoGhost mod
just select a CFG from the Configs Folder in NoGhost_beta file,
For say so where going to use the "Freezetag.CFG" and so place this CFG in to your Server \ NoGhost Folder,
As where making this server for the Demo Servers community we need to edit the FreezeTag.CFG using notepad
and add the following comand, seta sv_keywords "demo", this is NOT a good time to edit anything other than this!!!
Now we need to go back in to the NoGost_beta file and open the Scripts Folder,
take out the FreezetagServer.bat and place this in your Server Folder next to Baseq3 and NoGhost
Now where close to finished, Its time to go and collect the 1.15c Q3 launcher from NoGhost or here Q3 1.15
Extract and place the Quake 3 launcher in with the Baseq3, NoGhost and Server.bat.
Last of all the Freezetag.CFG is set to have "bot_enable 1" and requires that you have the Quake 3 Disc in the CD Drive,
If for some strange reason you dont have the Quake 3 Arena CD you will need to go back to your
"Server" \ "NoGhost" Folder and edit the "Freezetag.CFG",
To edit any CFG files you just use notepad or wordpad that comes as standard with all PC.
Once you have open the Freezetag.CFG you are looking to change "bot_enable 1" to "bot_enable 0"
Now where Finished feel free to double click the FreezetagServer.bat to start the Server,
if all has gone well the blue console menu should pop up with no errors and your Server will be running.
Congratulations on doing as i say and i expect that you wont be posting with any problems.
finaily you can now edit your FreezeTag.CFG and make some changes to your server,
if you wish to install any third party modifactions like NoGhost Cgame or Nemesis
you are just to place them in the Server \ Baseq3 and restart the server.
As always if you have any problems please post about it and we will take the time to help you fix any issues you come across.
