Please read the installation page first. If you still dont know how to install the mod, take a look at the video tutorials.
02. How can I add an entry to 'banlist.cfg' ?
On the server you can add a IP with the command '/rcon banlist_addip <ip> [comment]'.
Example: You want to ban player 'Hans' with the IP '123.123.123.123' --> /rcon banlist_addip 123.123.123.123 Hans You want to ban '123.123.0.0' --> /rcon banlist_addip 123.123. You need not write 123.123.0.0 ,the mod will know the '.0.0'. You want to add a IP manually in the 'banlist.cfg'. Open your 'banlist.cfg' with notepad. If there is no 'banlist.cfg' in your 'bma' folder, then create a new 'banlist.cfg' by yourself.
Example: You want to ban player 'Hans' with the IP '123.123.123.123' , then write in your 'banlist.cfg' --> 123.123.123.123=Hans You want to ban '123.123.0.0' , then write in your 'banlist.cfg' --> 123.123.= You need not write 123.123.0.0 ,the mod will know the '.0.0'. Never forget to write '=' after the IP, when you add a IP manually. If you dont do this the IP will not be added properly to your 'banlist.cfg'.
03. What is the purpose of the blocked IP list ? / How can I add an entry to the blocked list ?
The Blocked IP list is mostly the same as the banlist.cfg. In this list you can add special players you never want to see again on your server. They will see the snoop_blocked_message and not the banned message. First you need to enable this feature with snoop_blockip "1". You can add IPs only manually in your default.cfg or other server config. Add the IP in your config as shown in this example: set blocked_ips "123.123." . If you have more then one IP to block, add them in this way:
04. What is the purpose of the 'who.dat' ? / How can I add an entry to 'who.dat' ?
With the 'who.dat' you can identify players/playernames with their IPs. This information is shown under 'WHO:', when the player connects to the server (PLAYER INFO) (g_showPlayerinfoWho must be 1) or the player types /id or /players into the console. Open 'who.dat' with notepad. Now you can add a IP as shownthe following examples.
Example: You want to add player 'Hans' with the IP '123.123.123.123', then write in your 'who.dat' --> 123.123.123.123=Hans You want to add players 'Hans, Franz, Egon' and their IPs all begin with '123.123.', then write in your 'who.dat' --> 123.123.=Hans, Franz, Egon (You dont need to write 123.123.0.0 ,the mod will add the '.0.0' automaticly) Never forget to write '=' after the IP. If you skip it, the IP will not be added properly to your 'who.dat'.
05. Im too lazy to write all IPs and names into the who.dat. Can i download a updated who.dat anywhere ?
Yes, you can download a updated who.dat HERE. Most entries in this list are names and Ips from hook players. So dont be surprised if you dont know any of this names. Currently there are more than 220 names in the list. Please take a look in the readme of the zip, it contains installation instructions for the who.dat.
06. How can I bind grappling offhandhook and the remote button for the clustergrenade to a key of my choice ?
For Hook open your console (the console button is under the 'esc' button) and type "/bind mouse2 +button5" to bind the hook on the right mouse button, but you can choose any other key "/bind {key} +button5". To bind your remote button for the clustergrenade open your console (the console button is under the 'esc' button) and type "/bind x +bang" to bind the remote button on button 'x', but you can choose any other key "/bind {key} +bang".
07. I cant connect to a BMA mod server. I got the Errorcode "Server uses protocol x..."
You need to downgrade your Quake 3 Version. This mod is only coded for Protocol 43 (Point release version 1.11-1.16n).
08. I changed the motd.txt, but it doesnt work on the server.
You need to enable g_useMotd in the default.cfg. Or maybe the file size is too big. Max size is 900 bytes. Please check your motd.txt file size.
09. I changed a server setting in the server config, but nothing happens on the server.
Try first to exec your config on the server. For example: /rcon exec default.cfg.
10. When i connect to a BMA Mod server, all my settings are reseted and i have standart Quake 3 Arena settings.
Solution: Copy your q3config.cfg from "BASEQ3" folder to "bma" folder or copy your q3config.cfg to the "BASEQ3" folder and rename it to "autoexec.cfg". It should work fine now.
11. How can i use different settings for each map ?
You need to write the different settings into your maprotation.cfg. You want at map q3dm1 railgunammo 66 and selfdamage enabled, but at map q3dm2 you want railgunammo 30 and no selfdamage: set m1 "map q3dm1 ; snoop_railgun_ammo 66; g_selfDamage 1; set nextmap vstr m2" 12. I want to host a home-server, but my IP changes everytime i reconnect my Internet.
To solve this issue, you need to use DynDNS. With DynDNS you can have a static address like myserver.servegame.org. Just create HERE an DynDNS account. After you create an account, login to DynDNS and click on 'My Services', and then click on

23. Whats the purpose of the MD5 Checksum at the download page ?
What is MD5 SUM ? The MD5 Message Digest Algorithm takes a file and produces a string of 32 hexadecimal values. This output is a fingerprint or message digest for the file. By comparing the supplied MD5 value to the actual value computed by a MD5sums utility, you can make sure that the file is not corrupt or incomplete. And you can also make sure that the file is the orginal file and has not been modified by someone other.
How you verify MD5 checksums under Windows : Download md5win32.zip and extract it. Click on md5win32.msi and install the program. Now rightclick on the downloaded 'BMA_Mod_2.4.exe' or 'bma24.zip', search for 'Hash File' and press it. The md5win32 program will calculate the checksum of the archive file, and it will show this on a new window. Compare the MD5 checksum with the relevant one that is indicated on the top of this page. Now, there are two possibilities: Both checksums are the same.
How you verify MD5 checksums under Linux : In the shell of your preference, type the command 'md5sum /path/BMA_Mod_2.4.exe' or ''md5sum /path/bma24.zip'. Compare the calculated checksum with the one listed on this website. If the checksums do not match, and you are sure it isn't caused by an error during downloading, please inform us.
24. For what is the RSS Feed at the news site ?
RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays. |
