You mean as going to any server and typing /a1_pass and pressing enter?

That will only offer password you last set, by either a server config, local server etc..

If that's the case and you think I'm wrong, feel free to try to login on mine server -> RTCWx.com  COOP. It's fully managed, so it will log any attempt, fail or success and we can go from there on..

If there's something different, by all means, explain it more detailed.

Generally you can run any for server...dedicated just makes more sense on top of that, it exists with less stuff in and is meant for being well,  dedicated..so servers don't need to have the game executable at all.

I don't quite know what the philosophy was for ded to be come to existance but it dates back to rtcw release if I recall right. Basically from 1.33 or 1.4 version, as it was meant that server hosters could host a game without serial key (that was required before) but could not actually play the game as dedicated just hosts it etc.. may be totally wrong on this one, but that's what I figured out about it really. But doesn't really matter, just felt nostalgic a little..

Most of the bugs are already known, some I don't know about but I'm sure fretn or marvin do, if not, they can be added to the list.

I'm just wondering about;
- The blood flash screen when being shot does not appear when using MG42s.

Does it not appear only when using mg42 or in general? Also, did you have blood flash enabled or disabled (blood hit on HUD option in menu)?

About "eye candy" stuff - kill ratio, nicer prints (for call votes, following player, deaths..) is something I had in mind as well, I just didn't address it yet because there are other more important things, but it's planned for later on when more crucial stuff gets fixed - like crashes and player overflows.. =<

As far XP like ET type system, I fear this is near to impossible. Problem is that there's no way to track users..et uses guids to track users, guids as you know are assigned by authorization process that gives guid to new users .. basically the same as serial keys in rtcw..problem is, nothing else but a serial key alike process is solid for tracking in a way it can't be spoofed by conventional methods. Kinda beats the purpose of having XP alike system if random user can spoof your ID and takes over your points and continues from there on...same problem is tied to banning ..as at this point it will have to relay on IP's and that's kinda..well lame but currently the only way.

If anyone has a valid solution - one that doesn't require building whole authorization infrastructure (database) and processes tied to it - how to track users as genuine I'm listening..as that method could be used for banning as well then. For the info - mac's, hdd etc..that all can be spoofed relatively easy thus useless.

I'm sure fretn will have more to say about rest of the stuff, overall great input.

Basic way to run it in your case, just create a batch file (bat) and add this in:

rtcwcoop_ded.exe +set dedicated 2 +coopmap escape1 +exec server.cfg

Create server.cfg inside your coop\main folder, dump in settings you want to use (Look at bottom of this post for reference) and simply run your bat file and server will be streaming to internet with settings you set.
Linux is not hard to set either, you just need a little different approach - naturally, it really depends how you run your game..in CLI using screen or some function, or have an actual game panel so you need to tweak it to work with it etc..

====================
Basic server.cfg example:

Naturally there's more cvars you can set, but those are general ones.

Should be quite self explaining.
