    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\u0000รดยข" }, "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.

    Grylls You can do it, allowing in the server configuration that the clients can connect through the RCON and by means of the password they identify themselves and execute the RCON commands, or in turn, if they are using a third-party Admin, such as IW4MAdmin, on the web page control you can add your friend as moderator or owner

    Hey! Currently experiencing heartbeat errors aswell, even though, they're not the same as OP had.
    My error looks like the following:

    Sending heartbeat... Could not send heartbeat to nix! Error was: [json.exception.parse_error.101] parse error at line 1, column 1: syntax error while parsing value - invalid literal; last read: '<'

    The server ran just fine before, I was able to join it and whatnot. I haven't changed anything in the config ever since.

    EDIT: Resolved itself, just had to update the plutonium binaries, didn't realize the latest update.

    ok so i found the issue

    updater.bat , downloads the file in req i.e bin folder

    but you HAVE to change location here also , the mw3 directory

    then run serverrun.bat and change mw3 directory there also .

    good luck

    Sadly, the crashdump attached could not be opened because it contains invalid information. Hopefully this issue will be resolved for you with the next update.
