4. Running the Client/Setting up a Server

In this archive you will find three start scripts: q3awg.bat, q3awgded.bat and q3awgctfded.bat. The first one starts a client, so you can run a single player game.(Choose SKIRMISH to create a Wargroud style game against bots). The second script starts a dedicated server. Other clients can connect them. (Note, that the client must installed also this mod.). The third method is to start the first script and choose a multiplayer game. Simple create a new server with the create button. Now other clients can connect your non-dedicated server. The third script does the same as script two with one different: it's start the warground ctf mode! (Note, that also in CTF mode all clients need to install this mod)

To run WARground under linux you must disable bots. You will find two scripts for running a dedicated server under linux. q3awg and q3awgctf Both scripts do the same as the two windows batch's, except that they disable all bots. (Note, that there is no point release for linux, so the system may crash. Use at your own risk!)
