How to set up a tremulous server in windows

Hello and this is my simple guide to setting up a tremulous server in Windows.

This is how the folder needs to be setup

- C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data (For windows Xp)
- C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\Tremulous (For Vista and 7)
-- Your server folder
--- Base
---- admin.dat
---- data-1.1.0.pk3
---- map-atcs-1.1.0.pk3 (Your starting map)
---- server.cfg
---- maprotation.cfg
--- vm
---- game.qvm
--- start.bat
--- tremded.exe

Just to make sure, base and vm are folders, admin, data, atcs and server.cfg and in base. Game.qmv is in vm. and everything else is in the server folder.

1. Either get all the files pre made. (Skip 2)
2. Make all of the files yourself (except data, maps, tremded and game.qvm)
3. Put them in the appropriate folders
4. Make sure you have port forwarding set up
5. Double click start.

Code:

C:\Users\Shaun\AppData\Roaming\Tremulous\this_is_game>tremded +set fs_game this_
is_game +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 64315

If your server worked ok, it should look like that, ill make separate topics on how to make the rest.

How to make a Server.cfg
How to make a Start.bat
How to make an Admin.dat

Edit: Pre-made files are here

Normal server ready to go
Server without Data.1.1.0.pk3

For the server without data, go to C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base and there should be one there. It will cut alot out of the download time.

this is for vista, am i correct?

Should work on Xp
Will work on Vista and Win 7 (Im running win 7, your running vista (correct?)

i'm using XP

the app data folder is different in xp

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data

Hovel, do you know how to make admin commands? If so, then post them, I will put some of the commands I want on"Blade's new server" topic, so that way I can make a server, and I can have all the admin commands that I want. Also, my server will be an obstacle course server (Bob's QVM) and if you could, I might need some help with that also. Remember though, I am completely new to most of the things dealing with making a server, so it might be kind of irritating...

Qmv editing really isn't easy. It's written in C++ (Which for some reason i know how to edit)

Then you have to compile it without any bugs. Just find a ready made qmv in the internet, theres plenty about. The normal trem one is lakitu or something like that

I can show you how to make basic commands in the Admin.dat thing i will put up

Ok thx, but that is what i said... I will get Bob's QVM! it is just so awesome, and please, post all the info for me in my new topic

Probably depends which Os it is on, usually they're on ubuntu, so I don't know.
