Hi i would like to setup a cod4 server using stock and usermaps that ive downloaded, is there such a thing as a server config file like used with cod 1 and 2 or duz this one do it all differant. Also ive tryed to use ReconMax (ver 1) but it dont seem to change anything on the server thats running ie still the same map i started it with etc, if it helps the dedicated console window says bad recon after every thing i try to change, i know its a lot of stuff but would be really greatfull if anybody could help. Thanks in advance, Lisa.

In order to run custom maps your server needs to unranked. You need to this by running a mod. then you need to put in this command line to start the mod

+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 8.12.22.19 +set sv_maxclients 16 +set net_port 28960 +set fs_game mods/modwarfare +exec config.cfg +map_rotate

Then put this in your config file

// Client Download Settings. (0=off/1=on) Used for MODs and custom maps
// See included Quick Setup Guide for instructions.
set sv_allowdownload "1"
seta sv_wwwDownload "1"
seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://yoursite.com/cod4"
seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"

Then on the redirect server make your cod4 folder and the make two more folders inside of the "cod4" folder.
One called "mods" and the other called "usermaps" In the "mods" folder goes the mod you are going to use. Also any .iwd files that come with the custom maps go in there.

In the "usermaps" folder goes any .ff files from the custom maps you have. You need a folder for each custom map. Example is

mysite.com/cod4/usermaps/custommap/custommap.ff

for the redirect

or

gamingserver/cod4/usermaps/custommap/custommap.ff

for the gaming server


Now on the rediirect download server do the same thing. So the files look like this

cod4/Mods/ModWarfare

After you do the redirect keep the

seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"

Set to "0" if you do not then when downloading maps, people will go back to thier main menu and think they were kicked from the server when they really were not.

Hope this helps, I am writing this in two of hours... too much game playing

if a custom map server is using a remote file server to host the maps, is there any way to add a password or authentication to the server config to prevent file leechers?

Sorry brother I have been really busy. The company that you rent your server from should do the comand line. If you have gameservers then they have button for the command line. If you run it off a pc at home then add the string to the start up icon
