OK....I am new to JK2 and I need some basic ? on how to set up my Unix server to host a Jk2 dedicated server.

1. What files do I need to copy off the cd, Currantly I copied just the 2 files in the base folder and put them indo my jk2 folder on my server.

2. What permissions do I need to set up on my jk2 files and folders.

3. Where do I get the Config files for the jk2, I dont see them on the cd.

4. Any other things that I need to know about JK2 and freebsd.

Thanks
Jakara

Q. What files do I need to copy off the cd, Currantly I copied just the 2 files in the base folder and put them indo my jk2 folder on my server.

A. assets0.pk3 assets1.pk3 assets2.pk3 ( u get assets2.pk3 from ur windows client installation of JK2 < this file just came with jk2 1.03 patch > )


Q. What permissions do I need to set up on my jk2 files and folders.

A. nothing really exepct chmod +x jk2ded and brandelf -t Linux jk2ded

Q. Where do I get the Config files for the jk2, I dont see them on the cd.

A. this is what i have so far for my 12player public FFA server.

Q. Any other things that I need to know about JK2 and freebsd.

A. not really other then the fact that u should screen to background ur server.

I'd like to point out that all the cvars in that config which start with any of the following are not necessary for a dedicated server: cl_, cg_, ui_ Additionally, I noticed that you have g_mapAutoCycle set on and yet have a custom rotation? I'd recommend you disable it. The Administrator, URL, Email and Location cvars should use sets instead of seta. While seta sets and archives them, the point is to make that information public via the severinfo--which sets accomplishes.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I've seen a lot of variations of that same config posted dozens of times and it contains the same errors over and over. I'd paste a config here, but all my samples are separated into FFA/Duel/CTF gametypes to keep them short and easy to manage. If someone would like to see one, just let me know which gametype.
