I'm not sure what I'm missing. It's probably something simple but I'm not see it.

I need to run the server with only 8 clients max. I have set it up and it works fine once I start the server up.
But, when the match is over or the server starts another map. It goes back to 16 clients.

How do I stop this from happening?

Maybe I need to also setup a default too.

ffa and deathmatch

Thanks,

oh, and don't laugh.

I have it running on a Mac mini G4 1.42ghz

I've ran the following on it with no problem

Quake3
Quake4
UT2003
UT2004
Soldier of Fortune II

And probably more, there just off the top of my head.

Try looking for a line in "serverexec.cfg" and "serverinit.cfg" that says "resetvarsonend 1" and remove it (or better, write "resetvarsonend 0")

No.

In "servinit.cfg" you want the following line: sv_serverclients 8

yeah I got the client part fixed, but this has been driving me freakin' nuts all day!

I need to setup the server to always default to:

ffa-instagib deathmatch

I've read what I can find on the net, now I'm just totally confused now.

Set it this way, set it that way. omg

I had it once, and did a restart then I got that damn bomber-ball again.

thanks,

sv_defaultmode/sv_defaultmuts do nothing if sv_rotatemode/sv_rotatemuts = 1. You'd want to set sv_rotatemodefilter and sv_rotatemutsfilter.

I had it right the whole time..

The problem I'm having is it doesn't startup with ffa-instagib deathmatch.

Is this by design or a bug on the Mac side.

If you're using the OSX builds, you need to use localinit.cfg as there are no server binaries for Mac.

Ah, now I see the light.

Thanks for the info.

And by the way, I was just going to ask you if it was possible to recompile the binary and strip it down (gui, DSL etc.) to run as a server version.

Thank you!

Working perfectly!

You just have to compile the necessary objects with -DSTANDALONE, all I can suggest is looking at the makefiles for Linux to determine that better. It is possible, but nobody has had the time or patience to do it for OSX.

I'll have to check it out.
