eXtreme+ Modification for Call Of Duty 5: World at War => CoD:WaW General Server Support => Topic started by: TwoGun on June 04, 2009, 10:44:35 pm

Hey guys, I'm working on getting a CoD5 server going. Looked very much in line with other mods. But when I launch the game, it just launches as a non modded server. If I can get the console stopped while its loading it will say that it cannot read the server.cfg file. I kept thinking I had a typo in the path or something but I cannot find such a thing. Here is what my start up line looks like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +set fs_game mods\ WW_X5 +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +map_rotate
Here is what I can catch if I stop the console at the start up:
"error - couldn't execute server.cfg"
And here is what is in the games_mp:
\fs_game\Mods/WW_X5\fxfrustumCutoff\1000\g_compassShowEnemies\0\g_gametype\tdm\gamename\Call of Duty: World at War\mapname\mp_airfield\penetrationCount\5\protocol\97\shortversion\1\sv_allowAnonymous\0\sv_disableClientConsole\0\sv_floodprotect\4\sv_hostname\CoDWaWHost\sv_maxclients\24\sv_maxPing\0\sv_maxRate\5000\sv_minPing\0\sv_privateClients\0\sv_punkbuster\1\sv_pure\1\sv_voice\0\ui_maxclients\32\g_logTimeStampInSeconds\1
1244172246 ShutdownGame:
You ccan see by things like the sv_hostname\CoDWaWHost that it is not utilizing the server.cfg at all since my host name is set to Twoguns Battleground.
I downloaded the mod file again from this site thinking that somehow my server.cfg was corrupted. I changed on my server name and I still get the same thing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +set fs_game mods\ WW_X5 +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +map_rotate
Your commandline is missing the fs_localAppData folder buddy. With each X5 release post in the forums, I included examples of commandlines. Check those out
-
Well I'll look for it. What I was going off of was the X5_Extreme_V2.0 Quick Setup Guide and the examples looked lke this:
C:\Program Files\ Activision\Call of Duty World at War\ CoDWaWmp.exe” +set fs_game mods/modfolder +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate +set sv_punkbuster 1
Not really anything about a fs_localAppsData folder there. Maybe I didn't look far enough into the guide.
Thanks

To start a server in CODWaW the +set fs_localAppData in the commandline is required
-
I guess I still need more information. My startup commnad line lools like this now:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +set fs_game mods\ WW_X5 +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set fs_localAppData +map_rotate
And It still gives the same error, and the same response.
What is the fs_localAppData commnad? Does it refer to another file I don't have perhaps?
-
Ok ok, I see we are not communicating very well LOL
You are doing a CoDWaW server on your home computer -- so, watch this Video - I explain how to setup a CODWW server on your computer and go into detail about the commandline ;)
Click this BIG link LOL

Wow! You sure do it differently than I did CoD2 or CoD4 which both work great for me. Maybe because I run the game on a completely different PC than I run the server on?
Anyway that did give me enough info to get the server launched, but when I attempt to connect I get filesum/name mismatch error in the game. I'm not sure what that is but I'll attempt to figure it out.
Thanks for you help.

Well that was not what I thought it was. But here is what the section of the console_mp log looks like when I attempt to connect:
DEDICATED SERVER: Responding to client challenge request
SERVER: Adjusted client ping by 390 ms to 10 ms
Client 0 connecting with 10 challenge ping from 192.168.1.2:28960

The line about it not being a LAN address is a bit cofusing since that is exactly what it is.
Is this a software key problem?

Here I go again. I was unable to get past the file sum/name mismatch error. So I watched you video again, created a new folder and copied everything to it and made a new batch file to launch the game. The commnad line in the batch file looks like this:
CODWAWMP.EXE +fs_localAppData "C:\COD5" +set fs_game mods\ww_x5 +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 192.168.1.37 +set net_port 28961 +set sv_punkbuster 0 +map_rotate
It launced the game but it again states that it cannot execute server.cfg. What the heck am I doing wrong??? I also tried "C:\COD5\" as well as without the "/" but it made no difference.
Sorry to be such a pain but I just can't seem to figure out what exactly I'm not getting correct.
Thanks for any help.
-
+set fs_game mods\ww_x5 should be +set fs_game mods/ww_x5
-
Sorry but that made no difference to it. I had tried that earlier and I tried it again after I read your post. It still refuses to read the server.cfg file.
Thanks,
-
+set fs_localAppData "C:\COD5"
-
Yep that was it. I still have some bugs to work out but one was driving me nuts. A bit different from CoD2 and CoD4.
Thanks for you help!
