Running QWfwd

Any machine can run QWFwd. It is already included in nQuakesv.

If you want to run it, here are the instructions. Get the source code here
and compile it. After compiling, rename EXAMPLE_qwfwd.cfg to qwfwd.cfg and edit this file. Set the variables to your taste. An example config: 

set hostname "MY HOSTNAMEQWfwd" // specify a hostname
set net_port 30000                              // specify UDP listening port (default: 30000)
// set net_ip                                   // specify IP-address listen to (default: all IPs)
set sys_readstdin 0                             // allows qwfwd to run in background
// set developer                                // enabled developer (0=off, 1=enabled)
set masters master.quakeservers.net:27000 qwmaster.ocrana.de:27000 master.quakeworld.nu:27000 qwmaster.fodquake.net:27000            // specify a list of master servers
set masters_heartbeat 1                         // allow sending heartbeats to masters (0=off, 1=enabled)
set masters_query 1                             // query the master server list (0=off, 1=enabled)

Note the uncommented "master" lines and the servers in set masters.
Save it and run it. One option to run it is running under screen: 

screen -dmS qwfwd ./qwfwd.bin
