Hi!
I was trying to help Grape with a problem.

He connected to another server, he
downloaded the .pk3 files from that server as usual... after that he couldn't
connect to NoobsForever. Later he relaunched the game and the initialization
console showed the following message:

"
--- Common Initialization
Complete ---
Working directory: /Applications/Wolfenstein ET
WARNING:
watchdog will trigger in 4 seconds
Idle Server with no map - triggering
watchdog
Sys_ShutdownNetworking();
logout

[Process
completed]

"

Then the application quitted
unexpectedly!

Help! the only thing that comes to my mind is to reinstall
ET on his computer!<BR clear="all">

You sure he is trying to launch game using ET.exe and not ETDED.exe ?

Do you know if the server is hosted by gameservers.com? If so, they have a new system called watchdog in place. This is what it looks like in the admin panel:

Irrelevant

Watchdog is a part of the ET server. Basically a system that makes sure the server is running some map at all times == not running mapless, which sometimes happens. Might be a standard Q3 engine thing, don't know. The client does not use watchdog though... only in dedicated server mode.
