How to Do Multiplayer With Quakespasm?

[longgoneby]

I'm curious.

[=RaggA=]

type /connect followed by the address of a server into the console
EG: /connect 123.456.789:00000
lists of servers can be found at https://www.quakeservers.net/

However there is not much of a multiplayer scene for regular Quake any more. The multiplayer scene mostly revoves around Quakeworld. For playing Quakeworld I recomend you grab the ezQuake client. The majority of people use Quakespasm for single player and ezQuake for multiplayer.

okay. So how do I get my IP?

You can check your current external IP address at various websites, most notable would be www.whatsmyip.org

Quakespasm can't do multiplayer (unless you're using LAN), Quakespasm-Spike on the other hand can.

1. Download modified version of Quakespasm 0.93.2_Spike
http://triptohell.info/moodles/qss/quakespasm_spiked_win64.zip

2. Forward port 26000

3. Set sv_gameplayfix_spawnbeforethinks 1 for Arcane Dimensions mod multiplayer.

4. Enjoy

You've posted this in multiple threads and it isn't correct. QuakeSpasm CAN do online multiplayer. There's no need to download an additional mod.

If you want to host a game for friends:
1.) Use your router settings to forward port 26000 (you can find lots of guides for this elsewhere)
2.) Check your firewall and make sure QuakeSpasm is on the exceptions list
3.) Write down your network IP address ( whatsmyip.org should give it to you)
4.) Open QuakeSpasm
5.) Select Multiplayer, select New Game, select TCP/IP
6.) Address will show INADDR_ANY or your local IP, make sure port is 26000
7.) Configure your game settings and select Begin

Your friends can join the game this way:
1.) Open QuakeSpasm
2.) Select Multiplayer, select Join Game, select TCP/IP
3.) In the Join Game At text box, enter the IP noted in the previous step 3, e.g. 123.4.5.678:26000

Quakespasm may work in the original Quake 1, or small custom maps, in multiplayer, but it definitely doesn't work in my new map, The Bermuda Octagon. For that matter, QSS, (Quakespasm-Spike,) doesn't work in multiplayer either. In QSS, the server end looks correct. The client side does not show many items. You can run over where a rocket launcher is, and it is picked up, but not visible. As mentioned in a nearby thread, the only good server I've found that supports the Omicron bots, and does work correctly is an older version of DirectQ - DirectQ1.8.666 RC1 or DirectQ1.8.666 RC3. Anyone who doesn't care about the Omicron bot support should use FTE, which also works with my new very large map. As a very experienced mapper, I knew there was a definite risk of building something as big as this is, but I also knew some mapping tricks, which I applied. At this point, it appears that the gamble has paid off :)

oh boy another retro video game server wtih egotistical and overbearing mods who'd ban you for literally anything out of line and/or anything even slightly offensive because for some reason despite being over 35 years old, these people have the mental fortitude of a 15 year old girl on her ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ period.

not interested, thank you very much.
