1. Configs
First you need to download server.cfg file and save it in cod4’s main folder. Download link is at the bottom.
example: D: Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty 4\main\server.cfg
Open the file with notepad and set your server name, location, IP and then scroll down to password settings to set your rcon password.
Next you need to make iw3mp.exe shortcut, right click the shortcut->properties and add everything after the plus sing to the target part. There needs to be a space between the “ and +
Target: "D: Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty 4\iw3mp.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip localhost +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +set rcon_password PW
*Do not set your PW in the server.cfg file, set it in the shortcut as shown above.
You need to forward your port. I don't know this is done because my brother did that years ago for my router. http://portforward.com/ There should be step-by-step tutorial how to do it.
REMEMBER: When your sharing your server's IP, remember to add the port at the end of the ip address.
Example: My ip address is 84.251.142.249 and port is 28960
This goes to server.cfg file: 84.251.142.249
This is what your telling your friends to connect to: 84.251.142.249:28960
2. Starting server and editing configs
Start your iw3mp shortcut and it should launch console window like this:
use “g_gametype #” to set your gametype
dm - free for all deathmatch
dom - domination
koth - headquarters
sab - sabotage
sd - search & destroy
war - team deathmatch
example: g_gametype dm
Start the map with “devmap #” (or "map #" if you want normal mode)
mp_block
mp_bog
mp_countdown
mp_crash
mp_crossfire
mp_downpour
mp_district
mp_overgrown
mp_pipeline
mp_shipment
mp_showdown
mp_strike
mp_vacant
mp_wetwork
example: devmap mp_countdown
Now your server should be up and running and you can start messing around with the settings.
You don’t need to type these settings every time, you can save them into an cfg file in the main folder and use “exec” command to launch it.
example: exec devmap.cfg
jump_height # -sets your jump height (normal 39, max 1000)
g_Speed # (normal 190)
player_sprinttime # -time you can sprint(normal 4, max 12.8)
player_sprintspeedscale # -value from g_speed multiplied by # while sprinting(normal 1.5)
bg_falldamagemaxheight # (normal 300)
bg_falldamageminheight # (normal 128)
player_sustainammo # -infinite ammo(0=off, 1=on)
timescale # -adjusts the speed of the server (normal 1)
Google the rest. These ones are only settings I use.
3. In-game rcon commands
rcon login [password]
rcon status –tells you player id’s, their GUID, name etc.
rcon serverinfo
rcon map [map name]
rcon map_rotate
rcon map_restart
rcon fast_restart
rcon clientkick [player id]
rcon kick [player name]
rcon banClient [player id]
rcon banUser [player name]
