Here's a quick tutorial for installing and setting up an IW4M Dedicated Server on Linux.

 

Common Issues:

- Not showing on serverlist: Unblock the iw4m & the net_port on your firewall

- Asking for credentials or something about 'Unable to create SP': Ensure you have start iw4m.exe with both '-dedicated' and '-console' in the command line

 

I probably forgot something.

Egotistical bump :roll:

looks nice

inb4 helpful bump.

..Bump

Awesome thank you!

Something to add: Dedicated servers must forward the TCP port as well as the UDP port.

TCP is used for the HTTP server, which handles downloading of custom server content.

Can u please write the Toturial down?

Bump.

 

I think I should re-do it to make it a bit shorter and include text instructions.

Mh i've got trouble starting the iw4m.exe with wine on debian. The iw4m.dll couldn't be loaded, but the file exists in the same directory.

 

I used your tut to check if i had installed all dependencies.

But the problem seems to be another.

 

Any idea what am i doing wrong?

Can you provide links to wget or ftp the game folder?

Depends on, want to use it on big scale (lots of servers)?

I'd go for:

-CentOS 6 - different than this tutorial, go for Debian or Ubuntu.

- Debian

 

small personal scale?

- Ubuntu, definitely.
