Intro
-----
Excessive is a mod for Quake III Arena. It's a server-side only mod, so if
you only want to play on Excessive servers, you do not need to install this.
If you plan on running an Excessive server, then this is for you.
-------------------------
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
This is the server package for Excessive. Aside from the contents of this
package, all you need to setup an Excessive server is Quake III Arena.
First make sure you have the latest version of Quake III. Right now that means
you need to install the point release. This is available at:
http://www.fileplanet.com/index.asp?file=35903
Extract the contents of this package into your Quake III directory (the
directory with quake3.exe in it). Make sure that you preserve the directory
structure. If you are using pkunzip, use the -d option when unzipping.
The Excessive mod will be placed in a subdirectory "Excessive" off of the main
Quake III directory.
To run an Excessive server, you need to add the following option to the command
line when running the server:
+set fs_game Excessive
So, a typical command line will look something like this:
quake3.exe +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game excessive +bot_enable 0 +map q3dm4
A file excessive_server.bat will be placed in the base q3 directory. This is a
batch file for use on windows that will launch an excessive server with
standard options. It can be customized to launch with any custom options with
which you would like to run your server.
Using "+set dedicated 2" causes the server to be a public server. A public
server can be found using GameSpy 3D <http://www.gamespy3d.com/>, ArenaSpy
<http://www.planetquake.com/arenaspy/>, or the in-game browser that comes with
Quake III.
Using "+bot_enable 0" will allow you to run the server without keeping the CD in
the drive.
If when you run the server you get an error "fs_game is write protected", make
sure that you are loading a map on the command line with the +map option.
