[TUTORIAL] Join/create servers in the MM8BDM SGC Demo

[MakoAoyama]

Mako, I honestly never heard of anyone running any kind of game server, or any server on a mac before. I am curious if you are much you know of linux.

Next to nothing.
The extent of my Linux knowledge involves the few times I've installed Ubuntu on a computer, and I only messed around with it for a while before I replaced it with Windows again because I didn't know how to do anything.

Is there any way I can join a random battle? Or must I invite others?

Hi, i tried to download the latest version of skulltag but, when i hit donwload in the skulltag page says error 404, and i can't download the latest version, where can i find it now?

[CutmanMike]

You need to go to skulltag.com but it seems to be dead at the minute. Try again in a few minutes or so, I reported the problem.

Hey uh i have something that I couldn't add on my name. the color. How do I add a different color on my name instead of just red? like this BIGRUSS91

Just follow this guide. It's rather self explanatory.

A quick question, I managed to get a server working, but for some reason it shows up in Doomseeker, but not the Skulltag server browser.  

Just wondering why this is.

[CutmanMike]

The skulltag server browser only shows servers that are the same version of the skulltag that you're currently using.

So wait, my server is on a different version than me?  I must be getting things confused.  

Oh well, I ran a test and everyone who joined had about 900 ping haha.
I'll just spare everyone the suffering and refrain from making any more.

[CutmanMike]

Hmm, it should come up then. Not sure what else the internal browser doesn't pick up, but don't worry. Soon I foresee people ditching that for Doomseeker anyway

Quick question: I've started my own server and my friends can join, yay! However, I want to be able to add bots when I'm in game on my own server. When I bring up the console and type >addbot it replies with 'only the host can add bots'. How do I become host on my own server?

By the way, this game is AMAZING. Mad props to the creators!

Thanks

[CutmanMike]

You can addbots either via the server window OR by giving yourself rcon access. To give yourself rcon access you have to set a password via the server window. Once that's set up, go to the console and type "send_password xxxx" (xxxx being the password you just set) and you should get an access granted access. THEN try adding the bot

[Ceramicbull]

Sweet, that almost worked! I go into Configure Server->Administration->Server Control. Then I'll join the game and type 'send_password <password>' and it will give me the access granted message, yay! But I still get the 'only the host can add bots' message when I try to add bots! If there's an easy fix let me know, otherwise I'll stick to adding bots from the server window. It'd be nice to control it on the fly though because of the different level sizes.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

type rcon then stuff. For example:

Code: [Select]

rcon nextmap
rcon addbot

Eureka! Thanks!
