Running a CoD4 Server?


Crimson

Recommended Posts

So I have always ran srcds games, but I just purchased CoD4 to get break from Valve games, and I love it. I want to set up a server on my dedicated box, and I haven't really been able to find any in depth tutorials on what I need to do.

 

So far I have seen a lot of people talking about uploading the entire game folder, installing DX9, and installing PB on the box. Im sure theres some files that arent needed to run the server. Does anyone know of any good lists that show what files are needed and which aren't and maybe a semi detailed tutorial on setting it up?

 

Also, just curious if anyone has a compressed server package I could download from them? (Preferably just the server files needed, but if its the full game thats fine).

 

Anyways, thanks ahead of time for the help :D

While there are a couple video files that are not needed, they realy don't make much difference in the size. I seriously doubt anyone is going to provide you a compressed copy of the game files as that would be illegal. There is also the problem of patches, if you just upload game files without an install your going to have trouble patching the server as the patches put out for COD4 look for an installed version to patch.

Two options:

1) You can always install the game from the cd to your server, if it is next to you.

2) Download and install steam and creat an account or log into yours, then purchase the game, and finally download and install cod4 on your server and then move the files. Keep the same game seq. ie c:\programs\cod4\....
