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.

Help. I start my server, no biggie, I check my mod, its the one I want, but I go ingame and the mod isn't there? help please

Can you post your parameters. And which mod do you want to start?

Mod: Trickshot dummy prerelease 2

 

Parameters: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Modern Warfare 2\iw4m.exe" -dedicated +set party_maxplayers 18 +set net_port 28960 +set fs_game "mods/chase" +exec server.cfg +map_rotate +set rcon_password xxxxx

Can you post your parameters. And which mod do you want to start?

Never mind, I think I found the problem. TSD_PR2 doesn't really work on any server xD

Uhm.. I Can't see my Server on Server List and i cant connect to him :/ "Connection try 1..2..3.." and nothing ;/ can anyone help me?

Do you connect with internal IP?

Ok i can join the server now but its not in server list :'(

Some routers canВґt query its own IP

Do they see your server on the serverlist?

 

Nop, and they try to connect with the command connect and my ip, but they cannot connect, the cod says attenting to connect the host, and next to that say "cannot connect to the server host".

Nop, and they try to connect with the command connect and my ip, but they cannot connect, the a popular FPS series says attenting to connect the host, and next to that say "cannot connect to the server host".

Either you haven't forwarded your ports correctly or your router/windows firewall might be blocking your ports.

Hi guys i was wondering how do i give myself host once i started my server? I just need the command. Because i have a mod loading that needs me to be host to use it. TSD v3 PLEASE REPLY!!!!

This is IW4M, not IW5M... "Steam must be running to play this game" is an error that happens often when the connection is behind a proxy. It can be either a client proxy (check internet explorer's settings, on "connections" tab) or ISP proxy.

You Need A Diffrient Version Make Sure Your Version Is not ("Skidrow") :mrgreen:

I recently decided to give hosted a server a go, all went well and I thought I had successfully done it first time, but sadly not.

I followed all your steps on the Tut carefully so no mistakes have been made.

When I run the shortcut of the exe all seems well (although it frequently says WARNING: Couldn't open logfile: games_mp.log).

I can connect to the server and play by going into the console and inputting: connect :28961

However, I can't see the server in the server browser (I understand this is normal) and nor can my friends, which is the annoying thing..

It also says: sent heartbeat to iw4.prod.fourdeltaone.net which is normal too.

Thanks, sorry if this has been resolved before

Does all this mean that my ports are open because I think that may be the problem.

I can also connect to the server and play from another computer in my house.

Sorry if this is repeated somewhere. I have a problem with a dedicated server. Stops working and the console gives this error here:

[  33650938] script runtime warning: potential infinite loop in script 5000 > 5000.

What could be the problem and how to solve it?

Which mod are you using?

Moon_Cat":35fekanm]Sorry if this is repeated somewhere. I have a problem with a dedicated server. Stops working and the console gives this error here:

Which mod are you using?

No mods, but used plugins VAS and MAM. Error occurs when the map changes in rotation. Rotation is used from MAM, in VAS disabled.

I guess its from this MAM rotation... Did you try to use the server.cfg based one?

my server is not showing to my friends computer why

Did you forward the port?

i've done everything in your tut. and i can join and all these things. but a friend CAN'T join to my server. we tried and tried . gave him my external ip , doesn't work. He everytime get the message :"joining game session 1.....15.." and then "unable to connect to host". My ports are all open . PPLEASE HELP

I get the error "file sum/name mismatch" when I try to connect to the server. I use the newer isnipe mod. if I delete the mods folder and the mods parameter in the shortcut properties, I can connect to the server and then, I can play without any problems.

 

Please help me, I am getting real sick of this error!

Which iSnipe mod do you use?

I downloaded it as "isnipe VIP". (The iSnipe label on the right upper corner on the map loadscreen is red) I have also tried the one, where the label is yellow but that one didn't worked either.

 

 

 

Any Help?
