   There are some things you have to download and put into your quake3 dir. Where to download these files will be described here. (click on links to download)
   • -quake3: Root dir for quake.
     • -baseq3: quake keeps its data files here
       • -beryserver.cfg: This is the actual configuration file for beryllium mod
       • -maps.cfg: Map list, which maps for server to rotate through. If you are downloading my map config read point 3 below.

2. Server Config

3. Map Config

4. Configuring firewall (ports)

5. Starting Server

   To start your beryllium H&R dedicated server you need to start quake with the following switches

   +set com_hunkmegs 32 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game beryllium +exec beryserver +exec maps

   To do this on windows make a shortcut to your quake3.exe and add the following switches to the shortcut right after the path to quake. (You might need to add quotes or some shit.)
   To do this on linux(maybe OSX as well.) run the following command:

   quake3 +set com_hunkmegs 32 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game beryllium +exec beryserver +exec maps

   or to make it more convenient drop this file into /usr/local/bin/ (change permissions to rwxr-xr-x) and then anytime you want start the server run hrserver in terminal.

6. Remote administration

   Ofcourse you want to be able to controll your dedicated server while you play quake. And it'd suck to have to /quit each time to change some setting on the server (like the map)
   There is a command called /rcon (remotecontroll) and this is how you used it. First you need to log in /rcon mypassword (password is set in the beryserver.cfg file)
