Getting Started
Starting a Server
Future Wars is a multiplayer mod, and can be run as either
a regular or dedicated server.
- To run a dedicated server, run Quake 2 with the command line:
quake2.exe +set game fw +set dedicated 1 +map mapname
- To run a regular server, start Quake 2 as usual, then select
Multiplayer/Start Server.
- You will most likely want to turn off Friendly Fire (DMFLAGS 272).
Joining a Server
- Locate a server in Gamespy or via any method you normally
use.
- Upon connecting to the server, you will be in Observer Mode.
First thing you will need to do is select your team. Do this by
pressing the Insert key to switch between teams.
- When you've selected the team you want to join, press the Delete key.
You should see a message broadcast at the upper left of your screen
indicating which team you've joined.
- Do likewise for your class selection, using the Home key to advance
through the classes and End to select one.
- You should now spawn into the game, fully armed and ready to kick ass. Go to it!
