Need Help setting up a Q2 Rocket Arena server
« on: October 03, 2006, 12:11:30 PM »
I am trying to set up a private Q2 Rocket Arena server for some kids in a boarding school. I have a SUSE linux server and I have installed Q2 and I can get the regular Deathmatch server up and running fine with no problems. However I installed Rocket Arena and I cant get the RA maps to work. When I run the server with the +exec server.cfg command I get an error:

Can't find maps/ra2map1.bsp

If I leave the +exec server.cfg command out when I run the server the RA2 mod works but I get the regular Q2 maps it starts out with base1.

Am I supposed to create a /maps directory? I could not find any mention of it in the help files I am using.

Here is my server.cfg:

//normal config file
set hostname "Rocket Arena 2"
set timelimit 40
set fraglimit 40

//change this to something harder to guess, up to 8 digits
set admincode 1234

//comment these two lines out if you do not want a public server
//set public 1
//setmaster q2master.planetquake.com

//comment these two lines out if you
//are running on a LAN, or if quake2 crashes after the first frag
//set logfile 2
//set netlog ripper.planetquake.com:21998

map ra2map1

If anyone could please help me figure out what is wrong I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

just sounds like you dont have the map,   

http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/mods/rocket_arena2/

the client file there,  pretty big,  I imagine it has all the maps too...

Dunno if this helps,  But Im sure someone with more experience will be along.  :thumbsup:

make another directory called "maps" in your RA2 mod directory.
When you set the game to ra2, I would assume that the game changes the base directory to the mod directory.
(\quake2\baseq2\maps

You might want to check out the map "rockit2u". It was specifically designed to be a rocket fest. Ironically its on the Railz server.
