: well i can't start the server like that cause 1. i'm at the zone and you just hit LAUNCH to start a game. and 2. cause i only have the demo. but i managed to go into the console and do set game nhunters then f5 and restart lvl, then went into console after it restarted and did
: exec nhserver.cfg and now i have flares and teleport. so thank you verymuch for the command names :> when i did the set dedicated 1 thingy, said it was copyrighted or protected or something, i guess you need like the full version or something or is that a zone thing? i don't know, but NH works now and ppl aint all pissy cause no flares and teleports :>
We ASSUMED you'd wanna start a dedicated server as this is normal thing, we overlooked people that want to HOST a server. Another name for it is LISTEN server. Were YOU will also be playing..
Use that above line to start Q2 but take out the "+set dedicated 1", and yer all set. Another way is to just type each of those in order but without the "+set" in the Q2 console and yer all set.
I will be "fixing" the readme for the next release.
