Someone's been asking how to play IW4 offline so I made this tutorial.

 

http://Download

 

Installation

1. Drag & Drop the files in archive to your IW4 installation folder

 

Playing

1. Set your name in alteriwnet_configure.exe

2. Start IWNetServer.exe

3. Launch the game with iw4mp.exe

If you want to play with your friends in LAN

1. Decide one person who's gonna be the host

2. The host opens IWNetServer.exe and starts the game as usual

3. Everyone else opens their "alterIWnet.ini" and replaces the "127.0.0.1" with the host's internal IP

4. Someone creates a private match and others join with typing "connect hosts.ip.here" to console

They're false positives. If you don't trust, don't dowload

Wasn't this available since aIW days? These same files?

Yuup. This doesn't even have dedicated server support for some reason. And mods don't work.

But anyway I googled the files for anyone who needs them. (seen lot of requests for offline playing)

So, this doesn't even work?

 

Well, maybe someone will eventually fix it, but I doubt it's neccessary, setting up a private server can be done within minutes now, no need for this LAN thingy anymore. But hey, if some people want it...

You can play private matches offline/locally with it.

If you want mod support -> go online. I think it's fair enough.

did you put the playlist.ff with the files? cuz i think you need modified playlist.ff file to play offline or it will stuck at connection to server.

Nope.

I have the playlist.ff incase it is actually needed. However I tested this without the playlist.ff and it worked fine.

Hey is it even legal to put those files here

In fact, that's a very good question.

 

Edit:

 

Now the link takes you to pastebin, not directly to download site.

Does this make it "less illegal"?
