Hi Justin, Great you've set up this quake-III server. I got a ping of 43, so i can't blaim my connection if 'm being owned here :-) This remind me still have a hint to write howto install and setup quake. surely your server will be mentioned! I have however a question about quake, adding your server to the faforites doesn't seem to work, when i press <esc> and then server info -> add to favorites nothing happenes, my list of favorites stays empty. Downloading of the LFS maps went at maximum speed. The adress with the ~ works, the one without doesn't. No offence, i couldn't resist say something about it :-) I felt a bit lonely when i just tested the server. Is it possble to add a bot, wich dissapears when the first human opponent arrives? I'm off line for two weeks, but after that i can join the game after 1730 PM. This is if 'm not playing starcraft of cource. Thank again for setting up this server, I'll be there often. Is it allowed to tell my non-LFS friens about ths server, or is this server only for lfs players?
