Client/Server game mismatch: baseef-1/testmod-1

I followed the tutorial word for word.

you didn't compile ur client or you didn't change the name

I compiled the thing the tutorial said to.
what didn't I name?

If your just compiling game and not cgame, you need to change the GAME_VERSION in game/bg_public.h back to baseef-1

great that worked thanks.

another question,
this is for my Halo mod, I want to replace all alt fires with a singel melee animation. is this possible?

^^^
thats possible but I recommend you use the SP models and correctly edit the animation.cfg files or make the code use them

the MP models dont have as many animations and dont have any decent frames for melee attacks

you can look at all the animations and see if any look decent enough to use for melee combat

how can I look at the animations?
and where is the animation.cfg file?
do you have any tutrials that might help?

my skin tutorial mentions where the animation cfg, its just a text file telling what frames correspond to what animations

use md3view to see the animations, part of the gdk

also look at the player folder for the SP models

the player2 folder is for MP models

thanks for the help, I think I might be in alittle over my head at this point  
if you havent' guessed this is my first experiance with code.
are there any tutorials to help me understand how the code works? ya know, to tell me what does what etc.

the code is documented with comments

I would take a look at all the files and browse through them, after awhile it should be a little clearer, then you can tell what belongs to what, and more how everything is tied together

and hopefully you know C
