That is a topic of much discussion at the moment.

Currently, there are many ways to do it on a Dedicated Server -- which one is right or wrong is unknown

I have NOT even tried it on a GS.com server yet

Ok, here is the scope thus far

Gameservers.com commandline:

+set fs_localAppData c:\games\209_246_143_125\725674\codww +set fs_game mods/x5 +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 209.246.143.125 +set sv_maxclients 10 +set ui_maxclients 10 +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

Of course, YOUR ip and YOUR account number for the fs_localAppData

Has to be run from an fs_game folder -- just create a folder, and place your config's there, nothing more is needed.

On my computer here, running WinXP Pro SP2 I put his map files here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\mp_mikesgaff

localized_mp_mikesgaff.ff & mp_mikesgaff.ff

On the server, I put his files here:

/725674/codww/usermaps/mp_mikesgaff

localized_mp_mikesgaff.ff & mp_mikesgaff.ff

In my maprotation.cfg I set the gametype to DM and the map mp_mikesgaff in rotation



Attached screenshot is me in my server running Mike's map  :)

Hi Joker

Ok i set my Custom cod5 up the way you descibed above exactly.
The only problem i have is when I refresh my map list in HLSW I don't see the custom map that I added to the server.
I have it in the /725674/codww/usermaps/mp_78complex. I did change the IP and account#  to mine.
Only the stock maps.
What could cause this?
Thanks in advance
Sam

I do not believe HLSW has been updated to fully work with CODWaW -- I believe it is reading the maps from the /zone/ folder -- which is why you get Stock Maps and not Custom maps

I'm running HLSW v1.3.0.6 and can see  our 30 custom W@W maps just fine....try upgrading to this version if you have an older one

I have a gs server also.  Where does the  IWD file for the custom map go?

no one knows, your talking about 1.2 game, this thread is a month old and was about 1.1
the 1.2 patch only "fixed" the redirect for mods, and small sized mods at that.

there is nothing about running custom maps in a redirect for 1.2, let alone WHERE to put the iwd or for that matter, the ff files.

hell, theres not even any documentation !!

Patch 1.2 custom maps

Pretty much the same as COD4

usermaps/mp_mymap/ Both FF files go here

The maps IWD on the other hand, seems to only work in the fs_game folder so far which is a big OH NO

@joker

When you finish and figure out what goes where please do post a tut on for all us to read,  I understand this patch just came out so much testing is due but when all is figured out do post your results.  I've been reading on many forums different ways and I'm just confused at this point!
