I'd hate to see you spam the forums with advertisements on a regular basis. However, feel free to give yourself a shamelss plug here.

if you look at several post here, you will notice Signatrue files that can contain direct links to your web site. ;) Some image files are even clickable (mine for instance). :)

Have you checked out the MOHAA setup guide? This mostly covers command line and config settings. The main setup stuff can be found in the Quake3 setup section.



MOHAA Setup Guide (http://www.gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=35)

Quake 3 setup guide (http://www.gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=listarticles&secid=1) the first section is a basic listen server.....you'll skip that part.

In a nutshell, you need to copy your main folder over (baseq3 for quake3). This is the folder on the CD-rom that contains the pak files (pak0.pk3). NOTE!!! change main to match the folder name on your cd-rom.....I just don't know what it is.

/home/user/mohaa/main/pak0.pk3

Since you are running a linux server, this is the only file you need. Next, grab the linux binaries and install them to your designated folder.

/home/user/mohaa/

other options could be to install to /usr/local/game/mohaa - as most likely the linux binaries will default there. After that, follow the guide to setup your command lines, and run the server. Stop back and ask questions as you need to.
