ANY AND ALL SUPPORT FOR DEDICATED SERVERS SHOULD GO HERE, IN THIS THREAD, UNLESS I, OR ANOTHER MEMBER OF STAFF, ASKS YOU TO DO OTHERWISE

-->How to make a Dedicated Server for IW4M<--

 

1. Download The Dedicated Server Update Tool: HERE

 

2. Put it in your MW2 Location and run dsut.exe before you continue so you can download the relevant files.

 

--> Normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\

 

3. Go into the \main\ folder and create a new file called "server.cfg"

 

4. Open up server.cfg with notepad. Copy all of the code from this page (ctrl + A , ctrl +C) HERE, and paste it on your server.cfg file that you just opened up.

 

 

--> Or, if you want to skip step 3 and 4, just download this server.cfg.

--> Don't forget to change the map rotation

--> Make sure you have the DLC maps or remove them from the rotation

 

5. Rename iw4m.dat to iw4m.exe

 

6. Create a shortcut of iw4m.exe and right click the shortcut, select properties and paste this line at the end of the target line.

 

-dedicated +set party_maxplayers 18 +set net_port 28961 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

you can add -console if you like the traditional console window. Keep in mind that there might be some minor issues while using -console

 

 

7. Port forward any port you put in "+set net_port "

 

--> 28960 is the default

--> Make sure you port forward on the computer/server as well as on the router or gateway

--> Make sure to portforward with both UDP and TCP or else you will have problems

 

 

8. Run the shortcut and away you go!

 

Check and see if you server made it on list by visiting here: http://s.mufff.in/iw4msl

 

Cant connect to your own server? Cant see it in the browser list?

 

--> To connect you will need to goto console and type ''connect " then hit enter.

--> An example would be "connect 192.168.2.6:28961"

--> Afaik, 127.0.0.1 will not work.

 

 

-->Mods<--

 

 

For mods you need to do the following:

 

1) Find the mod you wish to run on your server, for this example I will be using iSnipe.

2) Take your .iwd mod file and rename it to z_svr_.iwd

--> In this example mine will be z_svr_iSnipe.iwd

3) Take your newly named .iwd and create a folder for it. Mine will simply be called isnipe

4) Then just throw your .iwd into the new folder.

5) Put this folder into your /mods directory.

6) Now in your server paramaters, you know:

 

-dedicated +set party_maxplayers 18 +set net_port 28961 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

 

7) You want to add +set fs_game "mods/

--> It should look something along the lines of (I use my iSnipe example here):

-dedicated +set party_maxplayers 18 +set net_port 28961 +set fs_game "mods/isnipe" +exec server.cfg +map_rotate 

 

 

8) Run your new server launcher thingy (the short-cut with the parameters) and your server should now load the mod

 

-->Playlist<--

 

If you want a IW5M like playlist, then follow the tutorial by yolarrydabomb: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24838

 

 

-->BigBrotherBot (B3)<--

 

If you want to install B3, then follow the tutorial by Jerre: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6975

 

-->Linux<--

 

To install a dedicated server on a Linux distro, just go HERE and follow the instructions.

When i start IW4M after 5 second its balck screen.

Do you get an error?

Try to alt+tab

When i start IW4M after 5 second its balck screen.

You're missing iw_22, iw_23, and most probably the whole DLCs.

Either buy the DLCs on Steam, or google on how to get them.

Thanks ! I will try!

my server is on the browser of a popular FPS series IW4M Servers and i can connect to my server, but my friends cannot connect to the server, but i forwading the posts like in the video

If your server is on the list, then yes, the server's game port is forwarded.

Do your friends get any error while trying to connect to your server?

 

 

Thats the problem, they donВґt have any error. They only cannot connect to the server. So i donВґt know what i need to do.

Do they see your server on the serverlist?
