Q3 commands/variables
by Marcus Yam, Jul 17, 1999 10:27pm PDTSome inevitable .plan updates at id following the release of the updated Q3Test. Graeme Devine updates about some variable things they missed or are hard to find in the readme:
g_gametype A value of 0 here indicates classic “Free For All”, a value of 1 indicates “Tournament Play” and a value of 2 indicates “Team Deathmatch”. So, to start a dedicated server in tournament mode, you would use: quake3 +set dedicated 2 +set zone tournaments +set g_gametype 1 +map q3tourney The warmup time for tournament play is set with g_warmup. A tournament game is implicitly a one on one match, and further players are automatically entered as spectators (note, when the game starts, all clients, including the spectators respawn). You can follow the players by using “team follow1”, “team follow2”, and you can be a scoreboard by using “team scoreboard”.Graeme continues on about broken joystick support and the master server bobbing up and down.

You get the idea.

Do you guys notice the +\"set zone tournaments\" part in Graeme\'s sample command line? What does that do? And how is it related to the zone field in the internet game menu?
