Quake II RTX – Starting a Dedicated Server

Quake II RTX ships with a separate dedicated server executable, “q2rtxded.exe” (on Windows). This is a lightweight version of the game that can only act as a server, but doesn’t allow you to play it directly and doesn’t have any graphics.

Simply launching the dedicated server will make it start a deathmatch session on the first available map, which is “base1”. You can change the map and other game settings using the server console, or you can put those commands into a config file and execute that file on server startup using the command line. For example, you can put something like this in a file called “server.cfg” in the baseq2 directory:

• set password <password>

• set rcon_password <another_password>

• set deathmatch 1

• set coop 0

• set sv_maplist q2dm1 q2dm2 q2dm3 q2dm4

• set timelimit 20

• set fraglimit 20

• map q2dm1

• Then start the server using command line:

q2rtxded.exe +exec server.cfg
