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.

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.

where's the download i want this so bad!!!!.and better then steam

There is no release yet, so there is also no download link available.

 

I doubt there's going to be a download link because of legal issues.

Then how do you expect people to play IW4M...

There will not be a download link to the base game, which you will need to get from Steam, but the ability to download the modified IW4M files will be kind of necessary.

 

the mods yes, but the actual game no

when is it coming out?

Result? VAC Ban

You don't know that you'll get banned from regular MW2 if you use this, but who cares?

You Would be surprised how much money Activision will make from this move... (Referring to Legit Versions Only) As every loves the alternative, more would be likely to buy the game, and then mod it. This would be Activision-Proof, as I saw on someone signature.

Reality Check.

 

My concern is the fact that a modified or completely new .exe file for the game has to be created to make this work on a separate network from IWnet. According to the EULA, this is ALWAYS illegal, legit copy of MW2 or not. you cannot modify, reverse engineer, or change the EXE or CORE of the game, which is why AlterIW ANYTHING was never a MOD to begin with, it was an illegality from the start.

 

This is factual stuff from the EULA of Activision publishing, as well as the IdTech engine.

 

I'm not judging here, I'm just confused as to why no one has brought these facts up yet.

 

I own a legit copy of the game. I owned a legit copy of the game when I used AlterIW. This does not change the fact as why Activision sent a cease and deist order. I didn't read it, but this is a clear violation of the EULAs of many publishers, and just about EVERY video game studio known to man. I've been coding, scripting and creating MODS for 15 years, and we all know this whom are in the industry.

 

My question is this...HOW do you get around an illegal EXE file, and avoid a STEAM BAN on my account that has over 114 games on it, other than opting to not use this service that you guys are brilliant to provide?

 

Of course if I'm wrong, I ask that NTAuthority or any of his associates correct me themselves, as I'd love to be wrong, but EVERYTHING in experience over longer than these guys have been alive tells me I'm not.

 

thanks for reading, and I mean no disrespect, but I'm just wanting to clarify that my 114 game steam account will be safe, even while using a Legit copy of cod6, with this "MOD" that's not a mod, but a conversion of the executable file:) thanks for your understanding, and PLEASE if I'm incorrect, and there's evidence it can be proven, by all means correct me.

...Seal...

This. Very well put. I wouldn't really classify it as a "mod" myself. NTA technically is modifying the code/exe, but Activision never cared about that really, they cared about the legitimecy of the game. They just want the money.

still asking didnt get clear answer with

 

"yarr" in page 3.

 

What about DLCs?

 

I own the game but I do not have DLCs so:

 

1-) Do I'll get ban from VAC if I play the maps which comes with dlc?

2-)If I'll be banned From VAC for that How'll NOT play(block my game to join) that maps from matchmaking?

3-)Is there'll be a option like With DLC, Without DLC.

4-)I want clear answer for First 3 Thanks!

You've misunderstood him, game will only check if you own it on Steam, it won't do anything with VAC. And about DLC, NTA said he's unable to make a check on those, so if you want to be legit, you should buy it.

But who wants to be legit ?

You Would be surprised how much money Activision will make from this move... (Referring to Legit Versions Only) As every loves the alternative, more would be likely to buy the game, and then mod it. This would be Activision-Proof, as I saw on someone signature.

like i said before....you can buy it used or from a friend...Activision wont get any of the profit...

if I do not be legit O.o?

 

I dont wanna look like idiot actually am not an idiot but If I do not be legit is there a way for Activition to Catch me? :?

 

better Q:

 

What'll happen if I do not be legit?

[story]

Technically, as far as I know, you are indeed correct. I think however what NTAuthority is counting on is that Activision will not shut down this project because - even though it is technically against the EULA - it would not harm Activision financially, seeing as we are not providing a way to play MW2 without actually having bought the game first.

Yes but i meant for people that DONT have that option. Or ones that are to lazy to ask and just buy the game right away. Its only like 25 dollars for download.

Edit: And does anyone know if the steam overlay will still be available while play IW4M? I know kind of a stupid question just curious..

hmm...if it doesnt work...you could always add the application that you get from nta (when released) and link it to steam.....but we cant be sure until its available

its not a stupid question

but if i parched the real game with yours aplicatios i can play with steam?

So, there will be new Maps and Gametypes. Right ?

Is it possible to port Guns from SP to MP, like the Dragunov?

IIRC the correct Dragunov files weren't present, so they couldn't be used. (maybe on another map though)

I actually find this website amusing... Since no one will play this shit due to new fps games etc. Alteriwnet was awesome - I bet more than half had the game bought from before.

 

 

 

 

But this website - community - game / WHATEVER -> :arrow: " TRASHCAN "

 

And btw, most of the servers on alteriwnet is still up, so dont leave.
