ok, I figured this would work since setting up a q3 server is like this, but im ‘somtimes’ getting missing shaders, sometimes not. seems to be some stock q3 ones, not sure.
If it’s what I’m thinking, its from broken shaders with the stock gtk installation and needed map media pk3’s aren’t in there, easy enough to fix. But what I’m doing is basically cron’ing a map on a nix machine that’s a bit faster then anything I have laying around and I’ve never done this before. Everything is in my homedir except the pak’s in baseq3, so I will probably have to add the mapmedia ones in.
This is the test commandline for now, I like screen.
screen /usr/local/games/quake3/gtkradiant/./q3map2 -fs_basepath "/usr/local/games/quake3" -fs_game "wfa" -light -fast -fastgrid -v -super 2 -thresh .075 -threads 4 -connect someip:14685 "/home/shadowspawn/.q3a/wfa/maps/bulfort4.map"
output:

. These are all correct shaders loading.... until...

But anyway, does that look right? Am I being redundant anywhere?
ps.
the q3map ‘listen’ server rocks, yea screen could do the same thing but i mean hey, its outputting to a file on a website so anyone can monitor it.
-edit-
it was the ‘fixit’ pk3 that comes with gtk.
