Cod4 ranked ,unranked?

[PoooTang]

I set up a cod4 server on my box as pure "1",the game boots up ,but will not allow anyone in the server???? i thought having this setting would make it ranked? when you try to go in to the server it immediatley crashes your game,,,if i set the pure setting to "0" you are able to enter the game ,and it will not crash to desktop??????,but it wont rank you up?? I want to run this game as RANKED,But i cant seem to set the server to pure,i rent the dedicated box from defconservers,do you think this is on there end that the game wont run RANKED?..ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED..

 

THANK YOU

[Trenchfoot]

mine is set to

set sv_pure "1" // Requires players files to match the server (1=on 0=off)

 

with no problems.

 

To run a cod4 ranked server you have to use the cfg's in the main folder, if you are using a mod folder eg - fs_game mods/modwarfare then your server will become unranked.

Thats the problem i'm using all stock configs and files,,i set it up with the tcadmin cpanel,,,i have not changed anything but the name of the server in the file,,,its weird if i put the pure set to 1 then it will not allow anyone in the server??? just crashes there game.....but with it set to 0 it wil allow us all to play without ranking up...should i make a copy of the game and try it that way?

[Trenchfoot]

Try adding a new server.cfg

 

here is a good place to get one

[PoooTang]

Thank you very much

[PoooTang]

I have done all that you suggested,and still same thing......it will not let anyone in when the server is set to pure,i have made a copy of the game in tcadmin,put in same config file for both servers,and still only allows people to enter the unpure server??i am at a loss

 

see for yourself what it does pure server=174.36.246.184:28960

unpure =174.36.246.189:28960

you will see the pure server will lock your system up tight...here is the same config i'm running for both

//NOTE: SOME SETTINGS ONLY WORK IN UNRANKD/MOD MODE.

Thanks for the responce ,just need some answers ,and no one seems to no the reasons for this...

[DougK94]

Sorry, after I posted, i realized you already answered my questions in your original post.

 

Have you had reinstalled the COD4 server? It sounds like the server files may be corrupted. (May have occurred during FTP) I am not too sure how they have there TCAdmin set up, do you have a C:\gameinstalls folder with game files in it? If so, try moving the cod4 server files out of it so that new server files will be downloaded from their master and then reinstall your cod4 server.

What your looking for is someone to run your GSP. Let's at least get the facts straight shall we?

 

According to our records you signed up for service 5 days ago and in this time submitted 24 tickets to do with configuring your customers game servers. The tickets aren't the problem, We understand being new to this industry you have questions which is fine.

 

I show our support handled each ticket you submitted with your complete satisfaction but you aren't asking for support now. What your asking is for one of my techs to login to your box and spend time troubleshooting your customers servers which isn't part of the agreement we have. If you don't agree with that assessment then by all means submit a cancel request.

[attack1]

I had to install a couple of update patches to get mine to run correctly. Not sure if that could be the issue. Just tossing it out there.

[Steven Crothers]

Sounds like someone abused the support over at Defcon... heh

Lets get this straight!! shall we?,,,,no one wants you,or any of your tech's, to run the game server,we just want the game to run properly,by all means check the server files ,you cant get in the server if its set to pure.Not a problem at all with any other cod installation just cod4,....deleted ,reinstalled several times,and still the same problem ,over and over again,,try and get into the server and i'll bet ya its not going to happen.and by the way they arent customers servers,,,there MINE!...I tried making a customer name for the server to see if that might be the problem,but again ..nothing the cod4 server runs great when its not pure.."strange isnt it"

 

And as far as abusing the tickets...HEH..i just want what i pay for.if i pay for something ,and its not right,"you betcha" i'm going to ask support. All i ask Mr.Defcon, check the cod4 files and tell me there not corrupt.And as the other guy stated ,he cant enter the server either,and suggested CORRUPT FILES

Hey bud,

 

You better watch how you rage on these forums.

1. This is not Defcon servers.

2. This is not "Gameserver Provider Classes for Morons"

3. This is a control panel "Community Forum" with volunteer support for the "Control Panel" not "Call of Duty 4 Fix-a-lot"

 

So if your looking for somewhere to rage, you better take yourself elsewhere Mr."PooTang".

 

Oh, and watch how you talk to people around here, or you may find it difficult to find a host in the future who's willing to put up with your attitude.

No one raged anything, i started this thread for information on the game"cod4" .as I recall this is game support.? I asked what needed to be asked,....

If i have come across to any of you, as being rude or unacceptable,then i apologize fully,i just want some help with this problem.It has me upset due to the fact i cant run the cod4 game pure,but i can run a cod2,codwaw pure ?Just here looking for answers

Thank you again

Tried to get in and failed, must be corrupt server files.

You were exactly right CORRUPT GAME FILES,

Thank you for your suggestion Trenchfoot,it pointed me in the right direction,it now works....and runs pure

[Defcon|Rich]

Not exactly..

 

 

I had a tech check into this last night and they found two problems.

 

1. Your PB wasn't up to date. They updated this for you. (FYI. You can update using the PB icon in your CP)

 

2. Your cmdline was incorrect. There were redundant settings which may/may not have caused issue.

 

 

Corrupt server files wouldn't be an issue since your master is not set to store a local copy which means each time a new server is created or reloaded it's grabbing a fresh copy from our fileserver.

 

 

After verifying your server worked correctly I took the liberty of installing 3 COD4 servers on 3 different machines just to make sure and all worked fine both pure and unpure.

[ECF]

Sounds like the issue has been fixed.

I thank you for checking, but the problem was when the game was installed with tcadmin,it was installed as 1.5 patch,,,therefore no one could enter it as pure....reason is the 1.4 contained the map Winter crash which is needed if you have 1.7 installed...thats why everyone crashed when entering the server...it was giving them impure .iwd's ....so basically i just updated through the system ,patch after patch,and it finally let the game run pure ,after the 1.4 patch was installed....As i said, i apologize for the grief,and hope all goes well in the future.

 

Thank you

[Defcon|Rich]

Glad to see it's fixed. Let us know if you have any further problems.
