ET Server n00b

(PoopStewart) #1

Okay, I want to run an ET server but I have to be able to do everything from terminal services. I’d appreciate it if someone could direct me to the appropriate FAQ, webpage, whatever, so I can get this badboy rolling.

Thanks!

What’s your question? I use terminal services and never had a problem.

My question is, how exactly do you run the server? is there a special server executable in the ET folder, do you do it all via command line or what? If it is done via command line, where do I find all the switches, settings, etc.

Like I said, I’m a complete n00b. :smiley:

I appreciate it but I’ll be running my server on a Windows platform. Know of any good tutorials for that?

No, you didn’t read my post. I can’t start ET via terminal services because I get an OpenGL error. Therefore, I probably need to run it via command line. I’m trying to find either a good tutorial or some sort of documentation to tell me how to do this.

It’s for RtCW, so you have to exchange the filename with ET.exe.
