hi all

i hope someone can help me please?

i wanna join xs4all ffa using darkplaces, i used to be able to, but have completely forgotten the correct port number

does anyone here know the correct port number ? the darkplaces port is :26000,

if anyone can let me know please? i'd be very happy

cheers,

pete

It's 27500, the default QuakeWorld server port.

cheers for the reply m8, i have found i can join the xs4all ffa small maps server using that port 27500, but the port for the normal ffa server isnt 27500, its something different, i just cant remember it,

if anyone knows what it is, please can you let me know?

thanks

No? http://www.quakeservers.net/quakeworld/servers/t=ffa/

The small map port is 27501 and the normal is 27500 according to the source above.

hi,

i was told to use a completely different port to be able to connect to the normal qw ffa server, its not 27500, im using darkplaces, its something else the port number

darkplaces is working ok on the darkplaces servers and on my own fantastic maps, but cant join qw atm, havent got a clue what port number to use,

if anyone knows can you please let me know, thanks ?

AFAIK darkplaces is a netquake client mainly, not a Quakeworld client. Unless Spike has made some exceptions with different data to netquake clients, the server is running a quakeworld mod on port 27500 and 27501.

hi,

thanks for your reply

i have played darkplaces for months on xs4all ffa, the only reason i cant anymore is i've forgotten the port number i was told by a qw player to use to join qw servers

its a qw port number, but isnt 27500, its something else, for the life of me i cant remember what
in darkplaces its got a server browser dedicated to joining quakeworld servers, but as far as im aware, i need a certain port number
when i try and join with 27500, my screen crashes and my mouse pointer is over the console

hi, thank you to those who have replyed

its seems im a moron :/

i started from scratch with darkplaces, i downloaded the may 2014 version, and just extracted the rars to my quake folder, then launched darkplaces the tried to join xs4all ffa using port 27500, and you know what? it works like a wet dream

im not the smartest of people, but i must of been putting the darkplaces folders in some weird places,

just extract to quake then it works

very happy now when i get killed. now it just looks fantastic!!!!!


pete

Thats a nice looking engine for sure Glad you made it work!

thanks m8 i think it would take a bit of getting used to, to actually kill ppl, but its mainly for fun and a good looking firework show , i play doom3 and now i have darkplaces its a quakeworld/doom 3 kinda look loving the shadows cast by the enemy in the middle of a fire fight

cheers!! you was right all along about the 27500 thing........ im just a moron
