ProMOd

been awhile since i played it - unable to connect to our server


i log into it, it restarts the game - i get some odd error - authenticate error or invalid password error or something like that..

i log back into ETQW - try to connect to the server, and i get some unpure client error.. ????

any idea what that is all about???

I am able to connect, however I do get the same error message your described. It disapprears quickly and gives me access to the server.

here is the error-

i log into the server- after ETQW restarts i get "Authorization failed" Log in..

i do that..

then i get

"cant connect to the pure server: no downloads offered"

I was getting the same error, Loki. But I haven't reinstalled any of the maps since I reloaded my system. I assumed this was the issue.

interesting..

o well, i got the vanilla version working pretty sweet at the moment.. really dont want to re install the game and hope PB doesn't F-it-up again..

so i'll just stick with the vanilla server

We could use you Loki on the comp team!

well if that means re installing the game. likely wont happen. i dont trust PB!

I have been doing a lot of research online and am working to get the ProMod server optimized. "cant connect to the pure server: no downloads offered" means that the server is NOT configured to download custom maps, and when you attempted to connect it was "on" a custom map like Maridia or Radar. I will get this fixed in the next 2 weeks, BUT I need a file download server. Someone (A1, Scooter?) had mentioned they had server space at their work. Can I use that space and put the custom maps there and direct the server URL to download from there?

In the meantime the server is now configured to only play the vanilla maps, so you would be safe installing ProMod on your box. We could really use you Loki so give it some thought. You can download all of the necessary files here:

We NEED Loki!!! The guy is a noob, and he doesn't play etqw anymore. I didn't realize we were in that bad of shape

If you see Mat2 online tell him about the match, he doesn't visit the forums enough, but i'm sure he'd join.

can i bring my level 50 paladin with me?
he uses an axe, but am sure he'll kill far more people then Br8kaway...

Yeah I would love to play but I work saturday 8am to midnigth..
Next game I hope..

i tried, PB keeps kicking me.. used all the tricks i know, to no avail..


guess Br8Kaway is safe, for now..

Yea, I have free employee hosting here at work, www.viawest.com We are allowed a burstable 10MB connection. Email me and we can talk about getting a file server set up. I have a few servers at home that should work. They just need to have an OS loaded up.

Still optimizing the ProMod server. I encourage you to download the necessary map files from my public DropBox here:

BEFORE you go on the server. I am working on getting the custom campaign files working so you are not disconnected when you change custom maps. BTW, don't worry when it says "Server shutdown" if you change custom maps. It will restart automatically.

I just got my Employee Colo services approved. I'll start working on installing the Server OS, soon. Just gonna throw Windows Server 2003 on it and make it a file server. That should work for us, right?

Yes that will work. Thanks.
