Hmz. I wouldn't know but did you copy the pak0 file to your quake3 directory, like it said at the end of "emerge quake3" ?

Also it says you should start the server as user q3

I guess you should take a look at this:

Code:

tail -n50 /usr/portage/app-games/quake3/quake3-1.31-r1.ebuild

you are missing pak0.pk3
copy or link it from you cdrom or partition

pak0.pk3 > baseq3

The default.cfg is due to the pak0.pk3 thats right.

As for starting the server you could just use the startscript the ebuild provides. Just do a "rc-update add q3ded default". To change how the server is called, edit the "startq3" script in /opt/quake3. (Just if you want to have the server started at bootup. You'll get a screen session started by root so you can reattach anytime as root. The Server itself will be started by the user q3 which you should also do if you don't use my scripts.)
