How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-09-2013
I'm using Quake with the DarkPlaces Engine installed. And I want to know wither I can play with custom maps instead of the pre-installed ones.
Or would it be easier to play Xonotic over Quake1?

Same as Xonotic: use the chmap command. If you have a map that's called maps/foo.bsp, just do
Code:
chmap foo
sv_public 0Code:
connect 123.45.67.89RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-09-2013
I'm not sure about the IP address
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - Mr. Bougo - 08-09-2013
It's the address on the LAN. You can find it out by having a look at the network interface settings in your OS.

Can I use this?

Why would you want to do that? We're talking about a LAN game here, there's no need to map internet ports.
What exactly is your problem? Did you not succeed at finding a way to know your LAN IP, or did you succeed but fail at connecting quake clients through the LAN?

I just like to use that program to see my IP so others can join
Can't I select the world from Create LAN Game?
I will find my LAN IP. I need to try connecting though
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - Mr. Bougo - 08-12-2013
Will that not show you your WAN IP?
You really don't need any extra software to show your ip. Just having a look at the network settings/status of your operating system will be enough. You can also use the ipconfig command in a console if you're in windows.
I don't know what you can do with the menu because I don't remember what quake looks like. I'm giving you a universal solution for DarkPlaces. What matters is that your hosting client or dedicated server has a map loaded, and its sv_public server cvar set to an integer higher or equal to -1 (0 should work fine for all LAN setups).
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-20-2013
I can find my IP in the settings yes.
I found a better way and that is to make a server with all settings you want. then type
map [MAP NAME]
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - Mr. Bougo - 08-20-2013
A better way to do what exactly? I have no idea what you think "map [MAP NAME]" does and what it replaces.
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-23-2013
It loads a map
It will kick everybody though.
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - Mr. Bougo - 08-23-2013
Use changelevel instead.
Anyway, you didn't answer my questions. I have no idea what you're doing or trying to do, what succeeded and what still fails. Until that's made clear, I'm done with this thread
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-23-2013
Yep the command does work good.
What I need is a way to load up a custom map.
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - Mr. Bougo - 08-24-2013
As I said, use changelevel.
By the way, I recently realized that my first post makes use of "chmap" which I don't think exists in vanilla darkplaces. I wonder why you have said nothing about it failing.
RE: How to start LAN game with custom map on Quake? - satuim - 08-29-2013
Because I didn't want to try it
I find changelevel much better!

Eh. Please understand that I try to be involved when doing support. If you're ignoring my questions or recommendations or find better alternatives, please let me know.
