    jeriqualy said in inf_default.dsr:

    Hello,
    would there be a charitable soul to give me Infect mode configured with usp without ammunition, etc.
    Thanks

    You can create and edit the mode settings yourself (you don’t even have to use Notepad), this is built into the game

    Go to Private Match => Game Setup => Make Setups => Click on: Save Recipe To Disk => Give name (remember it) => look in folder admin(client folder) => find file with names you gave => Done

    As per the Dedicated Server Guide, you will need to port forward 27016. This will allow others players to connect to your private match session, or dedicated server (if you later decide to go down that route).

    This is caused by the version of OpenSSL on Windows 7 and Windows server 2008, if I recall correctly. Both of which are now at End Of Life, hence our only suggestion is to upgrade.

    Made a new protocol with quake3 but changed getstatus to getinfo with infoResponse and I've got back this.

    EDIT: clients is player count? Might be good to go then!

    $ gamedig --type protocol-quake3info iphere:2304 --pretty { "name": "hostname here", "map": "mp_exchange", "password": false, "raw": { "protocol": "20604", "checksum": "-461731637", "hostname": "hostname here", "mapname": "mp_exchange", "clients": "1", "sv_maxclients": "18", "gametype": "war", "pure": "1", "con_disabled": "1", "kc": "1", "hw": "6", "mod": "0", "voice": "2\u0000ô¢" }, "maxplayers": "18", "players": [], "bots": [], "connect": "iphere:2304", "ping": 4 }

    The tutorial is super comprehensive. I had never hosted my own server either, yet here I am, running a server for a couple of friends of my PC. I'd say try your hand at setting up your own server via the tutorial before seeking an alternative. That being said, you need access to your router settings, but if you look up your router model online you can find how to port forward using that specific router. I'd say that's the only major hurdle to the server setup process, otherwise, a lot of the configuration is written in a way that is relatively easy to understand.

    In the server config, you can configure the gamemode + map rotations. You file explains exactly how to do this. You can customise the default infected gamemode by going into the /admin folder and opening INF_default.dsr (I'd suggest keeping the original just in case though, so copy and rename it) and searching for the things you want to change about it. Most of the time, you'll find what you're looking for by using the search function in notepad.

    That being said, infection seems to not be too configurable (at least from the .dsr file included), so some kind of script is probably available to offer that configurability you are looking for. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the quick response H3X1C

    What language would such a script need to be written, if any specific one? Can the rotation queue be changed via the config files while the server is running?

    I had the same issue, you have to start the client first then start the server on a different port then you can use the same folder for both.
