proquake linux server - newbe question

[bartoszx]

Hi List.
I have problem with proquake server (proquake-linux-dedicated-390-rc2.zip)
I can run server on ubunt, I can connect from my client machine but I can't start a new game.
I write in quake console "connect mymachine.ip.address". Then I see
connection accepted. And nothing happend. How to start new game after sucessfuly connection. If I want to try some public available servers it works as it should. I can start playing after connection.

Command slist on ubuntu quake server shows active game
SODOMY 0/4

Comand slist on client machine shows no quake server available

Could you post your server config file and the command line you used to start the server process? It sounds to me like the server didn't load a map but that is pure guessing.

I used this script to run my pqded server under Debian (replace IP and hostname and map, obviously):

#!/bin/sh
ip="123.456.7.89"
port="26000"
name="vq1"

echo running vanilla Quake server $name on $ip : $port

cd /usr/local/games/quake/ && screen -A -m -d -S $name ./pqlinux -noipx -condebug -heapsize 32768 -zone 1024 -dedicated 16 -ip $ip -udpport $port +hostname airrocket.net +map spirit1dm3_beta1

dfsp_spirit thanks for reply
I finally found solutions.
I didn't knew that I need to forward all UDP ports. Now it is working

Oh, I thought you were trying to connect from your own LAN. Glad you got it working.
