Hey guys, quick question, im trying to set up a DS on an old PPC mac, and followed the sticky to a T. But im getting this error "Quake Error: base gamedir data/ not found!" Im sure this is a simple missplacement of a file, but from what i could tell the server setups were for version 2.1-ish. Any and all help would be greatly appricated!

Can you link it? You should basically follow the server setup instructions for Linux, but just use another name for the binary.

try CDing to the install path before running. Also try adding the +basedir "/path/to/nexuiz/" argument

That might be it right there, what i mean is, what is this naming the binary stuff? Do i need to put the path for the "data" folder in the server_mac.sh file, or should that know where to look? And yea, i can copy and paste the error as soon as i get back to my laptop.

Here is the code from the error that i was getting:

so, try this:

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/Nexuiz/
./nexuiz-osx-ppc-dedicated

cd /Applications/Nexuiz/
./nexuiz-osx-ppc-dedicated

and then ./nexuiz-osx-ppc-dedicated +basedir '/Applications/Nexuiz/'

To i put those two commands in the shell, or do i put it in the .sh file? Because i cant type commands in the shell once that script ends.

You can open a shell first (Applications/Terminal).

Wow, that worked great! My server is up and running. But it did not load my server.cfg im going to go back and make sure its in the right location. and the server name is "Dr. Lights Lab" ( i have a thing for classic megaman)

well, you can allways try adding +exec server.cfg if that fails.

Good luck with your server!

First of all you guys F****** Rock, second of all, thanks !
