Set up a server

Note

In single-player mode, Defrag prohibits non-local players from connecting. To work as a server, the game must be set to a multiplayer gametype, which the gametype autoconfig will do automatically if the server is running dedicated. To set up a listen server, you need to set df_gametype accordingly. Either way you should ensure that sv_maxclients is set properly.

The following cvars control the main aspects of the game. For further game configuration settings, please consult the appropriate documents. We have also provided a short introduction on running and tweaking a Defrag server, which you can find in misc/misc/defrag-server-howto.zip.

Settings

\df_gametype [ DEFAULT: 0 RANGE: 0 TO 7 ]
  • Manually selects the defrag gametype
0: auto-config
1: defrag
2: tricks mode
3: fast caps
4: reserved (has no effect)
5: multiplayer defrag
6: multiplayer Tricks mode
7: multiplayer fast caps

Auto-config (value 0) lets defrag automatically determine the gametype based upon the map entities. It will enable a multiplayer gametype if quake is running in dedicated mode.

\df_promode [ DEFAULT: 0 RANGE: 0 (VQ3) TO 1 (CPM) ]
  • Selects the physics type.
0: VQ3: classic Quake3
1: CPM: promode physics with your bunny on

\df_mode_tricksmode [ DEFAULT: 2 RANGE: 0 TO 7 ]
\df_mode_fastcaps [ DEFAULT: 2 RANGE: 0 TO 7 ]
  • Select a preset config for Tricks Mode or Fast Caps.
1: disable weapons, forbid jump-pads/teleporters/movers
2: enable weapons, allow jump-pads/teleporters/movers
3: disable weapons, allow jump-pads/teleporters/movers
4: enable weapons, forbid jump-pads/teleporters/movers
5: swinging hook
6: Quake3 hook
7: vanilla Quake3

Server Administration

\df_sv_script_idleCfg [ TYPE: String DEFAULT: NULL ]
  • Set the config file to execute when the server has been idle for a set period of time. (see df_sv_script_idleDelay)
\df_sv_script_idleDelay [ TYPE: Integer DEFAULT: 50 ]
  • When the server idles, set the period of time before the idle script is executed. (see df_sv_script_idleCfg)

Votes

\df_vote_allowVotes     [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0 (off) TO 1 (on) ] - globally enables/disables votes
\df_vote_passVoteOnRatio    [ DEFAULT: .5 RANGE: 0.0  TO 1.0 ]  - ratio of yes votes required for the vote to pass
\df_vote_maxVotes       [ DEFAULT: 5 RANGE: 0  TO ... ]     - max callvotes per client (0: infinite)
\df_vote_voteDelay      [ DEFAULT: 30 RANGE: 0  TO ... ]    - seconds to be spent before a vote is discarded
\df_vote_allow_map      [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
\df_vote_allow_map_restart  [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
\df_vote_allow_nextmap      [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
\df_vote_allow_gametype     [ DEFAULT: 0 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]       - off by default, so clients don't disrupt the gametype autoconfig
\df_vote_allow_mode     [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
\df_vote_allow_kick     [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
\df_vote_allow_clientkick   [ DEFAULT: 1 RANGE: 0  TO 1 ]
