Dedicated Server Tutorial

 

I am posting this ahead of time to be moved on release with IW5M, please offer any suggestions, changes and correct any errors:

 

 

How to make a Dedicated Server for IW5M:

1. Have clean install of MW3 from Steam (or HldsUpdateTool Installer)

 

2. Download the Dedicated Server Update Tool (dsut.zip).

 

3. Place both files into the root directory of mw3 where the folders and .exe files are.

 

4. Run dsut.exe

 

5. Create a shortcut to iw5m_server.exe and add the following paramaters into the target field after openning the properties:

+set net_queryPort 27015 +set net_port 27016 +set net_masterServerPort 27017 +set sv_config "server.cfg" +start_map_rotate

It should look something like this:

D:\iw5m\iw5m_server.exe +set net_queryport 27015 +set net_port 27016 +set net_masterServerPort 27017 +set sv_config "server.cfg" +start_map_rotate

 

6. Make sure you port forward 27015, 27016 AND 27017 of the net_queryport, net_port and masterServerPort on your router and firewall. Note: your antivirus (or rather the firewall that comes with it) is most likely going to block any server activity. Disable it or add an exception.

Go to: http://www.portforward.com/ for help on port-forwarding.

 

7. Go into the folder "admin" and edit the server.cfg file as you wish.

Find a copy of the server.cfg here.

Find a copy of default.dspl here.

 

8. Run the shortcut you made previously and away you go.

Your server should now be running.

 

How to Run Multiple Servers:

If you wish to create another server, copy and paste your server.cfg, rename it to server2.cfg or something appropriate and then change the following in your shortcut:

+set sv_config "server.cfg"
+set net_queryPort 27015
+set net_port 27016
+set net_masterServerPort 27017

to:

+set sv_config "server2.cfg"
+set net_queryPort 27018
+set net_port 27019
+set net_masterServerPort 27020

The ports can be different. I would suggest figuring out what ports you wish to use and then change them accordingly.

My suggestion is to use 15-17, 18-20, 21+22 and so you

You can use pretty much anything you want, just use some common sense and try to stay close to the 27000-27100 range

 

Also, in your config for each server add "seta g_log " and give a different log name. This is for b3.

 

Here is a breakdown of what each net_x parameter does:

+set net_port = ??? 
(I have no idea what this does but seems important) -Typing "net_port"  in the console will show this port.

+set net_queryPort = "game port"
(used for /connect) - Typing "net_queryport" in the console will show this port.

+ set net_masterServerPort = query port 
(This is used for b3/rcon) - Typing "net_masterServerPort" in the console will show this port.

net_authPort = auth port
(not used for IW5M) - This can be ignored

 

How to Edit Gametype/Recipes:

You can also get some premade recipes here

Go into the admin folder in your mw3 directory.

Open up your server.cfg

In that file, you should see a line (or few) like this:

// Dedicated server play list (DSPL) specifying server map rotation.
//    Valid game options are controlled via DSR (dedicated server recipe) specified in the DSPL.
seta sv_maprotation "default"

What you set there is where the server will read your map rotations and game types from.

Now open "default.dspl"

If you scroll to the bottom, you will see a few lines that look like this:

*,TDM_default,1
mp_bootleg,DOM_default,1
*,TDEF_default,1000
mp_bravo,JUG_default,1
mp_dome,FFA_default,1

This may look confusing, but it's actually quite simple.

The config is set up like this:

 

map,gametype,weight

 

Map can be any of the maps below or an *. A * Signifies "pick a random map".

Gametype can be any file that is in the admin folder. These are a little more difficult, I'll come back to this later.

Weight just means that the larger the number, the more likely it is to play. (1->1000)

So for instance, if you were to set:

mp_dome,FFA_default,1

This would mean that Dome would be the only map to play and it would be FFA.

If you were to set:

*,TDEF_default,1000

This would mean that it could be any map but it will be team defender every time.

But, if you were to set:

mp_bravo,JUG_default,1
mp_dome,FFA_default,2

This would mean that the only 2 maps your server would play would be Dome and Mission. Mission would always be Juggernaut and Dome would always be FFA. FFA on Dome is more likely to be played because the weight is higher.

 

I have included a modified default.dspl which helps to explain this under step 7 of the first part of this tutorial.

 

Now, on to gametypes.

If you open a .dsr file you will find a bunch of setting you can change. This is everything from gametype, to gametype rules, to class loadouts, to HC settings and such. This is your more in-depth server.cfg

But it's much better. You can fiddle around here OR you can go ingame, enter private match and then change the configuration to what you want. When you're done, hit the "save recipe to disk" button under the "Game setup" menu to save it to your admin folder on your computer.

All you need to do then is move it to your server, drop it back in the admin folder and configure your default.dspl to include it.

mp_alpha - Lockdown
mp_bootleg - Bootleg

B3 Tutorial

 

Prerequisites: (there are several tutorials on the web, on how to install and configure these)

 

To start, of course, an IW5M dedicated server (I hope you checked this tutorial already)

A webserver (IIS, apache, etc will do it. Tested with IIS 7.5)

MySQL Server - http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ (tested with MySQL Server 5.5)

PHP - http://www.php.net/

PhpMyAdmin - http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

Python - http://www.python.org/download/ (tested with Python 2.7.3 64-bit)

MySql-Python - http://www.codegood.com/archives/129 (tested with MySQL-python-1.2.3 64-bit)

B3 Python source version - http://forum.bigbrotherbot.net/download ... iew;down=4 (tested with b3-1.8.1)

 

Later versions should work without any kind of problems (keep in mind about MySQL-Python compatibility with Phython versions though).

 

Also note that b3 can be set with an SQLite database instead of MySQL, saving you from installing a webserver, MySQL Server, PHP and PhpMyAdmin. But since I never used SQLite, I'm not the right person to tell you how to do it with SQLite. You can find some info on it here

Also, I preffer the typical installation (the one I'm explaining on this tutorial) because it allows you to install xlrstats or echelon webfronts.

 

 

Now that you got everything above running, it's time to create your database. Login on PhpMyAdmin, create the database and import the sql template that you can find inside b3\sql on the b3 package.

 

Now it's time to actually setup B3.

Extract "to somewhere" the content on your B3 zip (for guiding on this tutorial, let's suppose that you extracted it to the root of C drive and then renamed the folder to "b3")

The next step is to copy "cod8.py" to your b3 installation. You can find "cod8.py" on "admin" folder on your IW5M server installation. Copy "cod8.py" to "C:\b3\b3\parsers\"

 

Now go here to generate a config file (b3.xml):

http://config.bigbrotherbot.net/

Of course that you won't find IW5M on the list MW3 was never supposed to have b3 support, right? Just choose "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"

Fill in all your information there. Keep in mind that B3 config files only work with front slashes (/). As for the log file, it's getting created on "scripts" folder. So, the path would be something like "C:/IW5M/scripts/games_mp.log".

For RCON IP, use the local IP. Do NOT use localhost (127.0.0.1)

The "Server Port" will be the port used for rcon. The port used for rcon will be the "query port". You can check what's that server's query port by looking at the console's output when you launch the server. Look at this line: "Initializing Steam Game Server: game port *****, auth port ****, query port *****,"

Save the config and move it to "C:\b3\b3\conf\"

 

Now open b3.xml with some text editor (notepad++ is great for it) and change the parser.

Where it says:

cod6

change to:

cod8

 

Usage of the !login command:

To prevent, that other can change their XUID to your one and control your server, you can use the 'login-plugin', provided by B3.

1.) Add this line to your b3.xml at the 'plugin-section':

2.) Change the plugin_login.xml, loacted in the conf folder to your favorite settings

3.) Go into your MySQL database, and go to (ex. 'b3') --> 'clients' --> search your name (ex. qvp | MAGIC) and click at 'edit'.

4.) Go to this MD5-'translator' homepage, because your password have to saved as MD5-hash. Enter your password in the TEXT thingy and click at ENCODE. Now you can copy your password as MD5-hash...

5.) Change to your MySQL database and paste the MD5-hash password in the password-field.

6.) Start/Restart your B3 and join your server.

7.) Now login with

/!login 

 

IMPORTANT

When you bind/write this command then be sure you are hiding it (default with /!login ! Or your password is revealed!

 

Or use this tutorial by 'TranquiliZer' : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=23413

 

 

Important note to hosts running HC servers:

Although we unlocked dedicated server commands, there's still a bug with Teamkill. If you're running an HC server with teamkill disabled, b3 will still ban players for teamkill, although they can't actually kill their team-mates. To prevent this from happening, remove "plugin_tk" from b3.xml.

Just delete this line, if exists:

 

Now just save the changes and close the file.

Browse to C:\b3\ and start "b3_run.py" to start B3.

 

On another note, B3 is capable of registering data to xlrstats database already. But since there's not an IW5M xlrstats template available already to retrieve the stats, we'll leave xlrstats tutorial for later.

 

To finish, I leave you an example of a working b3.xml

Client Installation

 

 

If you have any questions just follow the video EXACTLY and make sure to read the description.

-Staff you can edit this thread as much as you please!-

It shows no errors, everything is running. but when I do net_port or something else with net_ it shows false data.

but when I do sv_hostname it shows my servers true name.

Use shortcut parameters rather than manually entering commands such as "sv_hostname"

Is it cause of I putted it inside the IW5 game insted of Steam iw5mp dedicated server ?

You can run the game and host a dedicated server from the same MW3 Folder, providing it has all the files..

I already copied the hole dedicated server of steam, and iw5m files it worked

Thanks alot !

not working

Extract the attached batch to your server's folder and double-click it to start the server.

This is what the batch does:

@echo off
start %installdir%iw5m_server.exe +set net_queryPort 27015 +set net_port 27016 +set net_masterServerPort 27017 +exec server.cfg +start_map_rotate

If the server crashes on start, check your server.cfg (on admin folder). Anyway, it will output some error message if it crashes.

I'm having some trouble searching for this or similar - Server Auto (Re)Launcher. Launcher is a far too common word on these boards

 

Is there anything like on the old AIW that could restart your servers when they stopped responding/crashed/etc.?

Is there anything like on the old AIW that could restart your servers when they stopped responding/crashed/etc.?

For IW5M,

nopeee

having some trouble this is the error I get

 

Executing server config "server.cfg"

Couldn't load map rotation file 'mp_dome,DZ_default,1000.dspl'

Could not load map rotation "mp_dome,DZ_default,1000". Shutting down

Please read the first post, where it says "How to Edit Gametype/Recipes:"

On server.cfg, you put the playlist name, without the extension. So, for "default.dspl", you put on server.cfg

seta sv_maprotation "default"

Then, inside the playlist (default.dspl or whatever.dspl) you put stuff such as

mp_dome,DZ_default,1000

hey i am using wamp server i can't import my b3 sql

Personally, I don't like using packages such as wamp (that's why I mentioned individual components on the tutorial). It's a bit hard to troubleshoot when everything is just one big package.

Anyway, are you sure that you can't import b3.sql using phpmyadmin? Maybe you already have some tables on the database where you're trying to import b3.sql?

Try importing to a new database.

i make a fresh database than when i go to import tag choose the b3.sql after that i press go (this button is not working) :cry:

Go here -> http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

Redownload phpmyadmin.

Then extract phpmyadmin folder to the root of your webserver. Name the folder something simple, such as "php"

Then open your browser and browse to http://localhost/php/ to open that new phpmyadmin installation.

Hello, dear Community!!!

 

If they excuse my bad English!

 

I have section already gepostet in the German.

 

And tries out me since 2 meet with b3. now I have found a version where I come a little further by this video.

Now I have the following problem:

 

 

My Wamp server is correctly instal and on-line

Unfortunately, I do not know what I wrong makes and am still realtiv anew what something like that it begins. But the ambition has packed me. and I hope for your help

 

Thanks already in prerau

You can't use version 1.7.1 binaries. Either you use version 1.8 python source and add cod8.py to the parsers, or you use version 1.9 beta binaries, wich already has cod8 parser.

Next, that user doesn't haver permissions to access the database. Try logging on phpmyadmin with that "b3" user and pass, and you'll see that you won't be able to access the database (I just use "root" user for b3)

 

After you overcome those two issues, these two plugins might give you some more issues:

I would take them off...

Datenbank-Server

 

Server: localhost (localhost via TCP/IP)

Software: MySQL

Software-Version: 5.5.24-log - MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Protokoll-Version: 10

Benutzer: root@localhost

Server Zeichensatz: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

 

Thats my problem or ? i must be login with b3@localhost or import the b3.sql in the Root

mysql://root:root pass here@localhost/b3_db

 

Try like that.

Also make sure that you created a database named "b3_db" (and that's where you import b3.sql into)

Hello everyone,

Lets take it from the beginning I did all the steps as they were required, forward the ports and such done everything server runs

opened the game in another folder

1-My server (i cant see it either in lan or the server list)

2-Nobody can see it! -________-

3-How to change the server name , game type and stuff

4-whats b3? (ive read all the 18 pages of this forum and feel like @__@)

Any help will be apreciated alot! : )

So to many thanks to for your help!!!!

 

The only problem was of the Database a name was in b3.xml instead of b3 on b3_db, small mistake big effect!

 

so everything runs so far only I have still a small problem what I, however, certainly with your help will fast solve.

 

I know this I only I must move the picture therefore poste to you and means b3.xml + mine server.cfg, however, I do not know like I must move it

Any help will be apreciated alot! : )

1- Have you forward your ports? added port exceptions to your Firewall's, also LAN Tab isn't functional..

3-You can change them via the server.cfg located in IW5M/admin/ folder

4- B3 is BigBrotherBot, it is basically a in-game RCON tool in which you can kick,ban,changemaps etc

You must go to Server.cfg and search

 

Specify server visibility (1 = LAN, 2 = Internet (default) )
+set dedicated 2

 

an make 2 not 1 lan is not for everyone 2 ist for everyone

Ok my problem is solve the port is 27017 ^^

 

Indeed, now I do not know like it goes on. Everything runs wonderfully only ingame nothing happens ^^ if I! aimgod gives one also sees nothing the B3 runs ingame

There's an extra "s" on your b3.xml, just that.

On server.cfg, you got

seta g_log "game_mp.log"

and on b3.xml

      E:\Spiele\m3wmp\scripts/games_mp.log

Just remove the "s" from "games_mp.log" on b3.xml, to make it match the log file name that you defined on the cfg

Good morning!

 

I changed the server.cfg, unfortunately without success

 

as the photo shows is B3, I was even tempolary banned because I have too many! entered aimgod at what could lie I've got no idea.

Hello everyone,

Lets take it from the beginning I did all the steps as they were required, forward the ports and such done everything server runs

opened the game in another folder

1-My server (i cant see it either in lan or the server list)

2-Nobody can see it! -________-

3-How to change the server name , game type and stuff

4-whats b3? (ive read all the 18 pages of this forum and feel like @__@)

Any help will be apreciated alot! : )

1- Have you forward your ports? added port exceptions to your Firewall's, also LAN Tab isn't functional..

3-You can change them via the server.cfg located in IW5M/admin/ folder

4- B3 is BigBrotherBot, it is basically a in-game RCON tool in which you can kick,ban,changemaps etc

thanks for replying, The thing is i have forwarded the ports and all turned my windows firewall off! btw can u plz tell me how to create exception? I dont think there is need for that since the firewall isnt working and Yeah form where can i get b3?
