Hi LaZ,
Here's a link to some good server setup info:
http://www.3dgw.com/guides/q2server/

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the response guys. I went to that link you provided George but
im a still a little confused. I saw the server.cfg file for a ctf map and
have a better understanding. I know the "set coop 1" function is
important and the dmflags doesnt matter in coop. Are there any other cmds
i neeed to address?

George: i noticed you had a coop server running, is there a way i can see
your server.cfg file. Thanks in advance.

Also, what is the command for setting the skill lvl of the coop game. I
tried "set skill" and "set difficulty" and they both dont seem to work
correctly. At first it would not change from anything but medium and then
after doing "set skill "hard+"" it changed to easy. Go figure :p.

Okay i think i got it up and running with some trial and error. If anyone
has the time, please try to connect and see if you can join. So far ive
tested this on my LAN and it works. I want to see if people can get into
the game from the outside. Thanks in advance. If you can't get in leave
a post here, and ill try to see whats up with my network.

Here's what I use for a dedicated q2 server:

Shortcut:

C:\Games\Quake2\quake2.exe +set dedicated 1 +exec servercoop.cfg

servercoop.cfg contains:

set hostname "AGQ2 CO-OP"
set coop 1
set skill 2
set maxclients 12
//set logfile 3
set rcon_password yourpassword
set public 1
setmaster q2master.planetquake.com
setmaster gameaholic.com
setmaster telefragged.com
setmaster master0.gamespy.com
map base1

NOTE: // are commented lines (not executed). logfile generates a log file
of server events (qconsole.log). Maxclients for coop games are limited to 4
when using the original quake2. Take out public and setmaster commands if
you don't want a public server. I'm sure some of the setmaster addresses
are out of date.

Thanks for help george. I had one other question. When i set the number
of clients, it never seems to allow me to go above 4. Strange.

Limited to 4 in co-op. Most of the time, more than 4 would be too many.
