PC server admin guide for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
***IN PROGRESS***
I will be adding to this in the coming days, but to get you guys started, here's the basics. If you have questions or would like something in particular, please speak up and I'll see what I can do.
Sample Server Configuration can be found:
Here
Required Ports
-----
UDP 20800
UDP 20810
UDP 28960
Hardware + Bandwidth Requirements
---------------------------------
Bandwidth and server resource usage should be lower than that of COD2 in most situations, but it is not guaranteed. There are some situations where bandwidth usage may spike, and the server will get hit harder than usual. Generally, if you're capable of hosting a COD2 dedicated server you should be just fine for COD4.
starting a dedicated server
----------------------------
LAN server
] iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 1
Internet server
] iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2
Modded server
] iw3mp.exe +set dedicated [1,2] +set fs_game "mods/<modname>"
start map
] map <mapname>
example usage:
] iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +exec my_server.cfg +map mp_crash
my_server.cfg contains customized settings which are detailed below.
