Game Server Guides

Game: id Tech 3 (Quake 3)

I've covered Quake 3 server setup fo the Pi before. Now it's time for something with a litte more power.

Unlike the Pi, which is crippled by the ARM CPU, any game using the 'id Tech 3' engine can be run on my shitty game server. So I picked out 3 titles from my library; 'Quake 3', 'Star Trek: Elite Force 2' and 'Return to 'Castle Wolfenstein'.

They all work without issue. Although 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' does work, it doesn't have native bot support. So the guide also covers setting up a third party bot mod.
