how to set up a lan server

[sirtazthe2th]

hey iv been reading around the net and ehre for a long time now and the more i read the more i get confused at how to make a server purely for lan games.

me and some friends wanna play some custom maps over lan since we gotten sick of the standart maps, only prob is just making a server ingame non dedicated dont show the other maps we got so i thought i would make a dedicated server for us but figuring out how to do that has been a pain. read abit here about it but just get more confused at it since all guides and stuff seems to be internet oriented so if anyone would help me out i would really appreciat it

we were thinking to just play with cod4's own modwarfare mod with the maps we got but if its better to change to a other mod plz let us know

[jooleeo]

could you make it with enabling harcore? without the respawn time?

Hey there dude I did this just days ago so il'l help ya out. First of you need the game installed, but I guess that's pretty obvious but anyways, then you need to do like this.

1. Create an extra shortcut for iw3mp.exe on your desktop, open it's properties. There you will se a target path that might look like this:

"C:\MPSpel\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe"

then you shall add this:

+set dedicated 1 +set fs_game mods/modwarfare +exec mpserverMod.cfg +map_rotate

after the ("). Make sure there is a space between the stuff you just copy/pasted and the quotes (").

If you have the same hierarchy on your harddrive as i, which you probably don't, it should look like this:

"C:\MPSpel\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set dedicated 1 +set fs_game mods/modwarfare +exec mpserverMod.cfg +map_rotate




2. You also need a .CFG file so go to this dir...

Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Mods\ModWarfare

Copy the file default_server.cfg to this dir...

Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main

Rename it to mpserverMod, delete everything in it and copy/paste everything below the smiley into it.




3. Click the shortcut on your desktop and the server will run.


BTW you will have to change the IPv4 adress under network settings and of course the maprotation, otherwise everything should work... It's a Hardcore server without Heli, airstrike and uav.

I too wanted to do this. I did everything that you said but the network settings. Guess this is right?

set dedicated "1"

[Aratoul]

Yep... if thats you your ip it should work. I'm not even completely sure if it's nessecary for a LAN game but it should work.

[yolarrydabomb]

I don't get it....


The regular call of duty modern 4 warfare lets everybody connect but Modwarfare and AWE4 cant connect.

[Aratoul]

What do you mean?
First of they need the mod, but ModWarfare comes with the main installation...
Perhaps their serverfilters are wrong?

[yolarrydabomb]

Nope.


I also copy the mod that I custom/use to everybodys computers.

Filters set to LAN and not getting a thing but I in the game...I disable firewalls and everything.

Normal COD4 still runs...normal

[Aratoul]

Are they getting kicked, because of punkbuster?
Have you tried connecting to IP?

Btw when I mean server filters I mean the button "Filter Servers" in the "Join Game" menu where you usually se other games...

[yolarrydabomb]

yes the filter servers are set to LAN which is post to be the same server config like the one from here.


and No they not getting kicked. They just don't see it listed on the Join Game LAN list.


I also try AWE4
