    Hello Vk3jed,

    Spectre also has a quake 3 server up and running but I forget the
    server address.

    Setting up Quake servers was the only thing I ever had to do with that game. And the whole office loved me when I moved the quake server from Windows to Linux (on a lesser powered machine too!).

    Yep, I often wonder just what it is you guys are up to in your office!

    It ran much better with no lag. :) From memory it was some sort of
    wrapper that was used to load the Windows server .exe under Linux.

    Was that quake or quake 3?

    I have no experience with game servers at all. I may do something like that one
    day but I am liking and playing so many games I don't get a chance to settle on
    anything.

    One of my favorites is now and always has been quake. I use quakespasm here and
    use that a lot for single player games. It has also a multiplayer mode where folks can play deathmatch or cooperative. I fired that up yesterday just for a look and may see if I can make that work.

    The original quake has a vibrant community that create new maps for quake still, even after all these years. The focus still seems to be single player or
    maybe I just have had my eyes closed.

    Hello Joacim,

    Spectre also has a quake 3 server up and running but I forget the
    server address.

    I have one at 193.235.20.156. Also hosting a Unreal Tournament-server
    at the same address.

    I'll come around a little later today for a look.

    Is that the UT GOTY edition from '99 or so? I have one of those.

    I think it was Quake, but I could be wrong. :)

    I'm the opposite. No interest in playing the games - me and game interfaces don't get along. I don't mind watching them being playes, and more than happy to tinker with servers. :)

    Something to play with. :)

    Yeah it's amazing how well some of those old games have maintained a good community.

    This is the plain old UT from 99 or so running under Windows XP. :)
