Has anybody gotten the new Quake 3 point release 1.32 running as a dedicated server?

I tried using the Q3DedicatedServer binary that was included in the 1.32 test 3 release, but it dies with a bus error.

I saw a suggestion about using the Terminal to chdir into Quake3.app/Contents/MacOS and make a copy of the quake3 binary, calling it Q3DedicatedServer, and then invoking that from the command line. I did this typing: "./Q3DedicatedServer +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg" It took the dedicated server option (it didn't start the gui) but it ignored the +exec option. And it didn't seem to accept anything that I typed, unlike the console on the Windows version.

Any ideas? Does anybody know if Graeme plans to do a dedicated server binary release later?

Meanwhile, I'll just have to run the dedicated server on my PC, though I'd really like to run this as a cron job in OS X.

Thanks!

Wow, I'm surprised nobody responded to this, it's really easy to fix. I figured out how to get the dedicated binary from the 1.32 Test 3 to work with the 1.32 Final at a LAN party recently (hosted on my iBook, hehe). Add "-RetailInstallationPath \Path\to\Quake3" after the ./Q3DedicatedServer command at the prompt (no quotes obviously). Just the absolute path to the Quake3 folder, not baseq3 or anything. You can then add whatever Q3 switches you want after that, i.e. "+exec server.cfg" or whatever.

Edit: I think you need to use forward slashes in that switch, most likely. I just got done doing stuff on my evil PC and used backslashes out of habit :-)
