How can I run a dedicated Team Arena server using ioquake3 on OS X?

How can I run a dedicated Team Arena server using ioquake3 on OS X? - Creative group of colleagues during work process

I am trying to get Team Arena to run as a dedicated server on OSX using the ioquake3 engine. I've managed to get Q3 to run okay but not the addon. Everything is installed for Team Arena in the missionpack folder. I tried running the game_restart missionpack command but the console says the command can not be found. I also tried adding this to the autoexec.cfg but didn't have any success.

I am running version Q3 1.36.

The OS X is pretty only as it's a spare Xserve running 10.5.8

Can anyone offer some help?



Best Answer

Instead of attempting to use game_restart, try launching the game with the +set fs_game command line parameter (for example ./q3ded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game missionpack) specifying the sub folder of the game content you want to use (in this instance missionpack).
