View source for Setup A Server

=Installation=

'''Step 1.''' Download your server executeable, extract or place it in your existing Quake folder. You must already have all of the Quake and MegaTF files in order to host a server. See [[Servers]] for executables.

*If you would like to use your client's built in server, as in Ezquake or FTE, skip this step.

'''Step 2.''' Download the MegaTF server code, which is contained in a file called qwprogs.dat, and place it in your ../quake/fortress/ folder. See [[Servers#MegaTF_Progs]]

'''Step 3.''' Create a server.cfg in ..quake/fortress/ with all of the settings you wish to use on the server. See [[Setup_A_Server#Server_Configuration]]

'''Step 4.''' If you want others to join over the internet: [https://www.pcworld.com/article/244314/how_to_forward_ports_on_your_router.html Learn about port forwarding for your router]. Open port 27500 and make sure incoming connections on that port are forwarded to the local IP address of the machine running the Quake server.

'''Step 5.''' Launch server with the game set to "fortress" (method varies by server). Load a map by typing "map mapname" in console.
*Alternatively if you are using a client with a built-in server, launch the client and type "gamedir fortress" in the console, followed by "map mapname" of your choice. Your session with be both client and server.

'''Step 6.''' Play by launching a Quake client and using the command "connect localhost".

'''Step 7.''' Use an online service such as http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to determine your public IP address so that you can tell others to join your server.
