Game-Loader mini-mod:
Because Night Hunters Xatrix requires you to replace your Xatrix/gamex86.dll (or gamei386.so), we have released Game-Loader. Game-Loader is a simple Quake2 'mod' that allows you to specify what game DLL to load on the Quake2 command line. The main source program, plugin.c is a slightly modified version of Zarjazz's plugin source code sample from Barrysworld, the author of BW-Admin. The only addition is the cvar used to specify what DLL to load. I have compiled and released this program for use with Night Hunters Xatrix, but it can be used with any mod. Game-Loader does NOT provide ANY added functionality for Quake2. It is only used to specify what DLL to load when starting Quake2. Game-Loader would be used when you want to run two servers which need to be run from the same directory, but different DLL's need to be loaded. For example: You want to run a Xatrix server AND a Night Hunters Xatrix server at the SAME TIME. Both Xatrix and Night Hunters Xatrix must run from the quake2/xatrix folder, but they both require DIFFERENT gamei386.so / gamex86.dll files to be loaded. That creates a problem... Another example would be with CTF. You could run two different CTF mods from the same quake2/ctf folder. Here's an example of how to run a Night Hunters Xatrix server with Game-Loader: quake2 +set game_dll gamex86.xatrix.dll +set game xatrix +set dedicated 1 +set deathmatch 1 +exec nhserver.cfg If you don't plan on running your own server, you probably don't need Game-Loader. If you already run a Xatrix server and would like to also run a Night Hunters Xatrix server, then give Game-Loader a try. You can download it from the Files section. Very little testing has been done with Game-Loader, so please give it a try a tell me about any problems. It appears to work with BW-Admin. Hopefully it will work as well as I hope it will. :) You can download the files from the Download
page.
