General

 

Will IW4M allow pirated game copies?

Since there is no checking mechanism, the answer is yes, but we are not responsible for your illegal acts, nor do we recommend you to do so.

 

What does it support?

Everything that was in aIW's IW4M2 (such as mod support, dedicated servers, custom textures).

However, since Activision will not allow us emulating their service, IW4M only supports dedicated servers, and not matchmaking.

 

Is the source code public?

Client-side source is public, including the code for dedicated servers. The master-server source, along with the anti cheat source (aCI), however, will not be available.

 

Can I transfer my stats/rank hack?

Old stats from alterIWnet will be imported automatically on the first start; any other stat files can be imported using EAM, which can be found in any number of places.

 

Can I play if I'm VAC banned on Steam?

Yes, as we cannot verify which game you were banned from, this status is irrelevant. If you want to be better safe than sorry, make a copy of your Modern Warfare 2 folder from steamapps, and put the IW4M files into the new folder.

 

Do I have to have the DLC on Steam to play the DLC maps on IW4M?

No, as we cannot verify that you do or do not have the DLC on Steam, you will not be incurred any limitations on the client.

 

Is there any anti-cheat?

There is a functional anti cheat that is constantly being updated. Cheat reports are not allowed, nor needed.

Game Support

 

Error during initialization: Could not authenticate to NP server at iw4.prod.fourdeltaone.net -- bad details.

That usually means that the master server is down, please try again in a few minutes.

 

Couldn't load image 'preview_mp_***'.

You are missing the DLC packs/related IWD files for Modern Warfare 2. Update your game on Steam, or download iw_22.iwd and iw_23.iwd and put them in the 'main' subdirectory in your MW2 directory.

 

The client is updated, but when I play I have no ammo.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

Weapon index mismatch for 'destructible_car'.

That means the server on the one you are playing is not up to date. Play on another server or ask the server admin (politely) to update.

 

How to login with a different account

Delete iw4m.ini from your game folder.

Other questions will be posted here, and updated.

new question: What is the console command to start a private mach? For instance, i want to make a batch script, so when i run it, it will make a private match on rust(let's say).

/map mp_rust

That is all that is needed. You can do the gametype war or whatever you want your gametype to be. People can just connect via IP and PORT.

sorry, but that doesn't work. When i try to launch a shortcut only with +map mp_rust it crashed the game. Also tried with a server.cfg, still the same tho

The current revision is still buggy, so thats probably why you are crashing. Worked fine for me 2 revisions ago.

So let me get this straight

 

If you dont have a legit copy of the game or a Steam account with the game. You cant use this to play online?

 

Or does it only works if I wanna play with friends on the same network (LAN)

 

Mark

You don't require a legit copy to use this online, so don't worry.

 

LAN support is going to put in, however you require an internet connection to use this for now.

and put them in your /main/ folder.

Can we download alter mw2 from some vebsite because i saw 1 topic here wich says mw2 can work i tried it but i deleted m2demo accidentaly so is there any veb where i can download alter mw2 again?

I hope you all realize this is STILL illegal. The .EXE was modified, period. DLL's also. That is illegal directly according to the EULA. All you people need to wake up and stop taking people's opinions, and actually READ the Eula itself. Notice that NTAuthority and anyone else responsible for this project completely ignored my post. Now you know why. I'll probably be banned, and even this post deleted I'm sure, but if you DID get to read this, as a respected Coder and member of the gaming community, It's not the same as hacking or cheating to gain an advantage like aimbots or wallhacks, no, but that's semantics. what's being done here is STILL illegal by the terms laid out directly by the people that made the game. that's enough for me to stay away. I own 145 games on steam. there is NO way this hacked exe and dll's are worth losing that IMO. good luck to you all. this can only end as badly as AlterIW did, if not totally worse because they were shut down once. they may not be as lenient the second time. The ONLY saving grace here would be if Activision themselves gave NTAuthority and this website SPECIAL LEGAL permission to do what they're doing. I somehow don't believe that's happened. If I'm wrong, then politely show me. If I'm not, then we all know what will happen to me and this post. No disrespect intended you have done a FINE Job NTAuthority and I extremely enjoyed AlterIW while owning a legal copy of the game, and enjoyed seeing the over 40,000 people we had on our servers calculated by B3, but this could screw up a lot of people's hard earned money and time. I just cannot stand by and watch it happen. Peace.

I hope you...

realize that you should go back to activision's matchmaking cage.

The game is useless as it was released, and people here just gave a decent use to that game engine.

I know people who even BOUGHT the game when 4D1 was launched.

In fact, the work that has been done here saved CoD franchise. Not many people would have kept playing MW2 matchmaking when other FPS rivals were on the market. People that I put playing MW2 on dedicated servers actually bought MW3 when it got released. They were turning to another well known FPS game (wich I won't mention to name to avoid de-railing) before aIW came up.

So, Activision should really thank for what has been done here. They didn't lose money with this. Their CoD franchise would have gone to garbage if aIW didn't show up.

Now your arguments... Steam banned because they play 4D1? NO. That would be the same as saying that people would get banned from Steam if they play BF3 because BF3 uses Origin instead of Steam.

I hope you all realize this is STILL illegal. The .EXE was modified, period. DLL's also.

No modified DLLs' were distributed, the only thing that got modified in the exe was the DLL name.

 

That is illegal directly according to the EULA. All you people need to wake up and stop taking people's opinions, and actually READ the Eula itself.

Most people who use the client have never read or agreed to the EULA, though by using using the software it is implied you agreed to EULA. Also EULA is not the law.

 

but this could screw up a lot of people's hard earned money and time. I just cannot stand by and watch it happen.

Wow. By the time aIW was released most of the people who had actually worked on the game were fired/quit, because they didn't get their fair share of money in the first place.

You all come up with a few good points. I'll keep it all in mind.
