This is an email I sent someone about running a weapons mod server. 
Sorry if its disorganized etc. Ill update it soon.

I was using weapons mod 1.43. Its now at 1.5 
If there are problems, run as single player to tweak things and save
a new config file. 


I would suggest the
following, read my server config page on my web page. 
Then read the help file about dedicated servers that was installed with
your
Q3. Then read the server admin forum on www.quake3world.com and you can
search on keywords. 
Install the jan 13 point release. 

The only other thing I can say right now is to run a lan game put 
+set dedicated 1    (not 2 which is public)

Then set public to 0 and comment out pinging the master server. 
Unless your server doesnt show up in which case it has to ping
the master Id server to work. 

Put the batch files in the c:\quake3 (or whatever dir)

put the weapons mod config files under
c:\quake3\weapomod

Then run the batch file which calls the config file you want to run.
Just change the batch file to say +set dedicated 1

Then when they look under multiplayer for the server, they should look
under local. You can play on the same server as the dedicated server 
but if you crash so does the server unless you can recover from it. 
Sorry  Icant do more now but maybe tommorow. 
Just keep experimenting and youll get it! :)

As for the bots yes you can do bots however thats another story.
Im going to create a server bot page on my web page soon.

What I want to say was that a few things. I gave you weaponsmod 1.5 and I
had written mine under 1.43. Maybe thats part of it. You can debug it and
get it to work by using the single player mode. 

I noticed that when you run wm each time it takes your q3config.cfg file
and puts it in the wm dir and adds stuff to it. It messes up your own
settings so what I do is fire it up once, quit, place my baseq3
q3config.cfg file into the wm directory. 
Then fire it up again and Im set. 
Wm reads it settings from its settings dir. Take out whats in there and put
it in another dir somewhere. Put the wmset1.cfg file I gave you in there.

When
you are running wm you press Esc and it has its own menu choices. Load the
config file and then try to play it and see if it works. 
If it does, save the current settings to another file. 
Quit q3 and them move what you saved from settings to under the wm dir.
Edit wmserver.cfg and have it exec the file you just created. 
Then run the server. 
If the problems still occur, change set dedicated 1 to 2. 
You can make it a private server by changing private clients to as many
people as you want on. Then give them the password to put in thier
autoexec.cfg
file :

set password "password"

or when they connect and it says server is full, bring down console 
and type /password password

When you want it public eventually at school, put max clients 10
for example and private clients 2 or 3 so that you and your buds can 
always get on. 
Let me know when you get it working and Ill try to connect.
If that doesnt work, visit the weaponsmod web site and see what he says
about problems. Then email him! He might answer. 

Hope that helps. Let me know.
