You should play militia instead.

is it free? is it basically the experience to go for for q4 duel? :)

I hereby invoke p0rt.

LOL. I read some older threads about this whole thing. No thanks. D;

Too late, the summoning has begun!

Darude - Sandstorm

Quake 4 is not free, and the demo version doesn't support mods. So, no.

Greetings,

Why can't I change the time limit on CTF other than 20 minutes (default)?

Note: I only use one single map (eternally)

Here is some of my server.cfg lines:

seta si_allowVoting "0"
seta si_mode "CTF" // This is the default mode. DM for the tournament mode, FFA, TDM, CTF etc.
seta si_modes "" // This is the list of available modes, space separated. "" for all.
seta si_map "mp/q4ctf5" // Default map.
spawnserver

Very much appreciated, Tony!

Go into the "modes" folder and create yourself a custom mode with something like this:

timelimit 10
caplimit 0
teamdamage 0
weaponrespawn 5
gametype 3

Then set si_mode to be the name of your cfg file (eg "CTF10" if you named it ctf10.cfg)

Thank you again, Tony!

Btw, I am planning to set up a local team tournament among high school students in here in LA.

One game, one arena, one goal: 5v5 q4ctf5 on Q4Max.

Is it ok to pm you for advise/question?

My email is swalla@gm***.com

Cheers

No problem. Feel free to PM - cannot guarantee to reply straight away though

Thank you very much.

Btw, how do I PM you on here?

================================================
10 minutes, 5v5, CTF, Q4CTF5 (one map only, never changes)
================================================

Is this SERVER.CFG good enough for a tournament:

seta si_allowVoting "0"
seta sv_punkbuster "0"
seta si_pure "1"
seta si_warmup "1"
seta si_useready "1"
seta si_minPlayers "2"
seta si_maxPlayers "10"

seta si_spectators "1"
seta g_spectatorChat "1"
seta si_autobalance "0"
seta g_feedScorebot "1"
seta sv_logXMLStats "0"
seta g_allowLockteams "1"
seta g_teamAutoJoin "0"
seta g_allowMultipov "1"
seta g_allowSpecTimers "0"
seta sys_lang "english"
seta si_mode "CTF10"

seta logFile "1"

spawnserver
heartbeat

Here is the CTF10.CFG:

timelimit 10
caplimit 0
teamdamage 0
weaponrespawn 5
gametype 3

Your advise is very much appreciated, Tony!

Seems fine - I would set sv_logXMLStats 1 to get a load of stats about the tourney though, which you can then share using MAXStats after the tourney is over, but it's not exactly critical.

Done. Thanks, Tony.

Is there any way to "turn the violence off", such as no blood, no gore, etc. just to make this game kind of PG-13 for students?

Thank you again.

Note: I will PM you once my account is allowed to do so

You can't force them from server side, but there are client settings which you can turn off:

Cg_blood 0
Cg_gibs 0

Cheers, Tony.

Here is the server's address fyi ...

hsbnet.game.nfoservers.com:28004

Tony, is it possible to automatically stop the server once a team wins, let's say, the first four games in the best of seven series? Cheers!

Nope. I do remember us discussing adding explicit support for "best of x", but we never did (it would be quite a complex one to get to work well, and tricky to get it to work exactly how people really want it)

Tony, how do I add bots in Q4MAX server (Q4MAX AAS files already installed)? Thank you again!

You can do "set bot_minPlayers 6" so that it spawns 6 random bots on the server - they'll auto-disconnect as real players join, and then respawn as needed to ensure there are always at least 6 people playing.

Or you can simply do "addbot Box" to add a specific named bot if you want to pick which ones you play against.

Very much appreciated, Tony!

you still remember all this.. ;)

Oh yea - and still remember most of the details of how things are working internally too.

I've a pretty good memory when it comes to (useless?) technical info, but give me a list of 10 things to buy from a shop and I almost certainly will miss something....

Go onto ebay, type quake 4 PC into search bar.
Buy for a few dollars.
Install quake4max.

Problem solved,

btw. better steam or non steam or no difference?

overpriced or budget retail version?

steam version has bethesda logo and higher pricetag

wuaw, somebody asking about anything related to Q4, this is a miracle!

its fun with friends :)

i think i lost my q4 cd(or dvd, don't remember). it was 2 discs i still remember, if i found my discs i give my cdkey to this guy. :)

pls find it :D

Need to change the ip of the q4max to another ip, how do I change the ip? In q4mConsole shows the ip, more when I change the ip on the other hand, back to the same ip

I don't understand - what IP do you need to change, and where are you seeing it "wrong"?
