Server Setup

[Crimson_Might]

How do I make a server? How do I create multiple servers on the same box? Is there a standard config?

[RoadWarrior]

I personally go for hosting where they set it up for you, but there are others here who also run dedicated boxes that might be able to help out a bit more.

[R1- FinePoints]

First make multiple copy's of your Call of Duty 4 folder. "The amount of servers you wish to be running"

Create a shortcut to iw3mp.exe

 

 

Now you need to put in your start up parameters

 

Right click on the shortcut that you had just made and hit properties.

 

In the target box after the location of the cod4 folder add the following but modify it with your own info.

 

+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 192.168.1.100 +set net_port 28960 sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

 

Then hit OK.

 

_____________________

In order for you to run more than one server on the same box you will ether have to purchase more than 1 IP address or you change the net_port to like 28961 or 28962

_____________________

 

 

 

Now to setup your server to your likings. Here I will provide you one of the configs from one of my servers.

 

Copy and past the below stuff into a text document and name this document server.cfg

 

NOTE: Some options have been disabled if you are going to run a stock server. In order to use all the settings you will need to add a fs_game folder.

Once you finish with the settings you wish to have now take the server.cfg you had just made and put it into the main folder.

 

Now you should be able to click on the shortcut that you have made and the server should be good to go.

 

 

If any more help is needed just reply and let me know. I will be glad to help out.

It wants to start the real game. The console isn't starting like in other games. What should I do?

Edited March 28, 2008 by Crimson_Might

[R1- FinePoints]

You must of not did the first step correctly.

 

You right click on the iw3mp.exe and hit "Create Shortcut"

Now you should have a shortcut to the iw3mp.exe in the folder.

 

 

 

Right click on the just created shortcut and hit properties. You will see a bunch of boxes witch you can input text. The one you are concerned about is the Target line.

 

At the end of the path for the iw3mp.exe put in and modify the net_ip and net_port to your setup.

 

+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 192.168.1.100 +set net_port 28960 sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

 

 

 

Here is an example of what it would look like.

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 192.168.1.100 +set net_port 28960 sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

 

 

Good Luck let me know how it goes.

[Crimson_Might]

Wait, do you need the game installed on your server? I just uploaded the game from my computer. :S

[RoadWarrior]

Yes, the game has to be uploaded on your server. Can't run it without it being there.

[Crazy56]

First make multiple copy's of your Call of Duty 4 folder. "The amount of servers you wish to be running"

Create a shortcut to iw3mp.exe

 

Actually it isn't necessary to have multiple instances of COD4 on the server to have multiple servers running. Below is what I do to have several servers running off one game installation:

 

First, I am using FireDaemon to start my servers.

 

1. I installed 1 complete copy of the game into the COD4 Folder.

2. Then I created 2 more folders, Server_1 & Server_2 and placed them in my COD4 folder.

3. Inside Folder_1 (And Folder_2) I created main, mods, & pb folders.

4. Inside the main folder I have the following files: iw_12.iwd, server.cfg (and any other server config you are running)

5. Inside the mods folder I have the ModWarfare folder and any other mod folder I wish to run on server 1 (Or 2)

6. Inside the pb folder I have ALL necessary PB files to run a server with.

Done.....that's as simple as that. This way both servers (I have 2 running off 1 installation) run.

[R1- FinePoints]

Wait, do you need the game installed on your server? I just uploaded the game from my computer. :S

 

Yeah all you need is a complete copy of the game installed on the server and done with all the server setup I supply you should be good.

Hmm Crazy thanks for that info I will have to try that out sometime that will make things so much quicker and easier.

[Crimson_Might]

Before I spend two days uploading 4gb, I want to ask if I just zip up the contents of my DVD will it install fine on the server by hitting the exe just fine?

[R1- FinePoints]

Hey return to Crazy56 and try out his idea but not installing the whole game. Start at step 2. If that works let me know.

 

Otherwise what you said should work but id just zip of my cod4 folder that you have installed on your computer and just remove the custom stuff from the zip to make it as small as possible.

 

 

 

Also is the box one of your own or are you renting it somewhere? If your renting have you contacted the host to see if they could install a copy of cod4 on your server? That's what I end up doing because my servers were rented.

Step One:

Install the game on your server pc OR copy/FTP the install folder from your pc to a server pc.

Usually C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare and keep the folder structure intact.

 

Step Two:

Prepare your router/modem to forward the right ports to the server pc. Follow instructions from PortForward site.

Ports to forward are 28960, 28000 and 28100. Also check that your firewalls allow those ports trough.

 

Step Three:

Create a shortcut to start your server or set up the command line on your remote server. This has to be done differently for a ranked and un-ranked server. We will explain both and use our server config files as a example.

 

ShortCut/Command line:

1. First you have to make a shortcut to iw3mp.exe file in your root folder.

2. Right click that file and make a shortcut to the desktop.

3. Right click on the new shortcut you just created and go to its properties.

 

RANKED SERVER:

4. Find the TARGET: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" field

and add the following to the END of the existing target, do not DELETE any of the existing target:

+exec serversetting.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 1.2.3.4 +set net_port 28960 +map_rotate so now it looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +exec serversetting.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 1.2.3.4 +set net_port 28960 +map_rotate

UN-RANKED SERVER:

4. Find the TARGET: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" field

and add the following to the END of the existing target, do not DELETE any of the existing target:

+exec serversetting.cfg +set fs_game "mods/ +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 1.2.3.4 +set net_port 28960 +map_rotate so now it looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +exec serversetting.cfg +set fs_game "mods/<yourmod_folder> +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 1.2.3.4 +set net_port 28960 +map_rotate

 

Note 1: Make sure there is a SPACE between "iw3mp.exe" and "+exec serversetting.cfg".

Note 2: Now here is the trick, the +set net_ip 1.2.3.4 has to be changed to your server pc's internal IP adress, something like 192.168.0.1.

Note 3: For un-ranked server the is the name of the folder for your mods, all small letters!

 

Step Four:

Now its time to add your config files and use our server config files. For a ranked server place the two files serversetting.cfg and gamesetting.cfg in your servers main folder. Edit the files to your likings and your ready.

 

For a un-ranked server place all four files in . Edit the files to your likings. Remember to copy the files mod.ff, z_modwarfare.iwd and a renamed mod.csv file from the ModWarfare folder to .

 

Step Five:

DirectX

To run the server you need a DirectX file, download the attached directX file in this post and upload the d3dx10_34.dll file to your Window's Servers system32 directory (Mine was in C:\WINDOWS\system32).

 

PunkBuster files:

1. Download pbsetup.exe here, from evenbalance.com.

2. Upload pbsetup.exe to your server. It does NOT need to be in the CoD4 directories, in fact it is probably best if you treat this as a stand-alone application (it can update ALL PB servers from one application).

3. Run pbsetup.exe and click "Add a Game". Choose a CoD4 server. You will likely need to browse to the iw3mp.exe file so that pbsetup knows where your CoD4 server is located.

4. Once you have added your CoD4 server, select/highlight the CoD4 server in the list and click "Check For Updates". This should download a number of files to your CoD4 server directories. You should not have to do anything else.

 

[Crazy56]

Hey return to Crazy56 and try out his idea but not installing the whole game. Start at step 2. If that works let me know.

 

No, you need the other .iwd files in the main folder otherwise the game will not run. But doing this saves much needed time in having to upload multiple copies of the game. It also saves on precious harddrive space on the server as well. But you MUST have at least 1 complete copy installed on the server for it to run properly. However, some of the .iwd files can be eliminated, but I have no clue as to which ones they would be so I just left them be as-is.

Hmm now you have me confused. To me by what that is saying just says you have the iw_12.iwd in there. I must not be reading something right. :blink: :blink:

 

4. Inside the main folder I have the following files: iw_12.iwd, server.cfg (and any other server config you are running)

2. Upload pbsetup.exe to your server. It does NOT need to be in the CoD4 directories, in fact it is probably best if you treat this as a stand-alone application (it can update ALL PB servers from one application).

3. Run pbsetup.exe and click "Add a Game". Choose a CoD4 server. You will likely need to browse to the iw3mp.exe file so that pbsetup knows where your CoD4 server is located.

4. Once you have added your CoD4 server, select/highlight the CoD4 server in the list and click "Check For Updates". This should download a number of files to your CoD4 server directories. You should not have to do anything else.

 

 

Nice one there i'll have to save that for some other time it may be needed.

Yea, a step by step straight forward guide, all you need :)

I hit a new snag. I uploaded the game and selected the .exe. It doesn't get past the first screen because the box is only 8-bit color. It needs 16-bit to proceed. What's next?

Take it to the IW forums, never had any problems like you describe before, must be your sustem causing it.

Could you please add in the compete error that appears.

Seems you don't even need it installed to run a server. I got it now. Now I just need some more explanation on how to make multiple servers.

Or even better you could explain why, what and how your multiple server problem is at.

"I got a problem" still aren't solving anything in 2008 :)

Okay what you need to do is just take the COD4 folder and make multiple copy's of it. Then if you look back at my first post to you you ether have to have multiple IP on the server and change the IP or if you only have one you change the net_port to something else.

Hmm now you have me confused. To me by what that is saying just says you have the iw_12.iwd in there. I must not be reading something right. :blink: :blink:

 

4. Inside the main folder I have the following files: iw_12.iwd, server.cfg (and any other server config you are running)

 

I took 6 SS of my folder and file structure on one of my server boxes for COD4. The 6 SS were taken of 2 COD4 servers being run out of 1 complete game install.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SS 1 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare folder.

SS 2 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/main folder.

SS 3 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/server_1 folder.

SS 4 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/server_1/main folder.

SS 5 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/server_2 folder.

SS 6 - Shows the contents of the /Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/server_2/main folder.

 

 

I hope this makes things a little less confusing for you.

Easiest way,

 

one COD 4 install

 

If you want three servers have three server.cfgs named differently, server1.cfg, server2.cfg, server3.cfg or what ever you want to call them.

 

Three startup command lines like this in your shortcut target fields.

 

 

C:\cod4\cod4\iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip xx.x.xxx.xxx +set net_port 28960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server1.cfg +map_rotate

 

C:\cod4\cod4\iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip xx.xx.xx.xxx +set net_port 28961 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server2.cfg +map_rotate

 

C:\cod4\cod4\iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip xx.x.xxx.xxx +set net_port 28962 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server3.cfg +map_rotate

 

This is assuming you COD 4 install is on "C:\" and obviously add your server ip.

 

Parts in red that need to be different in each command line, personally I use FireDaemon.

 

I have server.cfg, server1.cfg and serverh.cfg last one for hardcore.
