hello,

so i was wondering how starting a server actually works ...

could i really use the title menue item "start server" to run my very own server that would be displayed in the multiplayer browser as well?

or do things run work differently server wise?

Depends on your Server? If you host from your Windows Home it's the Start Server Button in the Menu, if you have a Root Server, you should start a Dedicated Server. (Files also in Download Area for Linux Servers). There you start the Updater for your System and then need a Start File (usually called start.sh)
Looks like:

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
/home/urt/urbanterror42/Quake3-UrT.i386 +set fs_game q3ut4 +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27971 +set com_hunkmegs 1024 +exec server421.cfg
echo "server crashed on `date`" > last_crash421.txt
done

and the server.cfg (i called it server421.cfg in the start.sh you usually have a server.cfg in your Folder after install, i alwys copy it and config it like i want my server)

thanks for your answer...

still some things i don't quite understand..

how do i know e.g. that hunkmegs got changed to 1024? or is there a start file included in the download?

if there isn't such a file included and i didn't know the latest changes to the server side of urt how would this influence the server's performance using an "old" start file?

Nope this is my start.sh perhaps you should have a look here:

http://www.urbanterr...up-and-support/

There is a Start Script and Nitro told hunkmegs should be usually only 128 but I have enough Memory on my root so i startet all my servers with 1024 would be a nice Test to check if anythink change when i lower it. Perhaps I will try it some day

Wennst eine guten homeserver auf windows-basis aufstellen willst ...

Hier eine komplette config.

mach eine .bat datei:
@ECHO OFF
Quake3-UrT-Ded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27952 +set sv_pure 1 +exec "server-ut42.cfg"

Dann diese config einfügen als "server-ut42.cfg":

Der windows server funktioniert tadellos, wir spielen oft darin.

You can verify most of your server settings by issue the an rcon command to the server with the cvar you wish to check without using the "set" command.

for example /rcon com_hunkmegs
The server will respond with the currently set value.

Also setting your com_hunkmegs to 1024 on an urban terror server will be utterly useless and won't increase server performace. Infact you'll simply be allocating resources to a wasted cause.

Any setting for com_hunkmegs for a server higher than 256 is just a waste, In my own opinion this setting should have a max value of 128.
