studeggle Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You must use a bat file and have the full command line to start CoDWaW if can't be run by just clicking on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 alright could that be why the gameserver i created isnt working? i installed from the cd and copied the files over to the game install folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 There are many reasons why a game server might not start. I simply identified the error you gave. You have not provided any errors from trying to start it with the command line you are using. Although if you never use a command line that would certianly prevent it.

dimitrifrom31 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 create a server.bat into you gameserver created folder (next to the executable) with the following contents : CoDWaWmp.exe +set fs_localAppData [b]E:\UserFiles\username\GameServers\TCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\[/b] +set fs_savepath [b]E:\UserFiles\username\GameServers\TCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\[/b] +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip [b]YOURSERVERIP[/b] +set net_port 28960 +set sv_punkbuster "1" +exec [b]server.cfg[/b] +map_rotate Replace stuffs in bold by your own, your server should start in console mode and if theres an error at loading you should be able to see it.

potato Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Is anyone else able to just run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 As you say direct X is installed, you have tried from the command line. Are these files from the CD or from download. Download copies of several of the games have been known to have problems. Otherwise I'd start checking file integrety. Also have you ever been able to run it? Which version are the files? Any chance of having someone actually log onto the machine instead of remoting in as that would take care of its check to see if it is being run remotely.

dimitrifrom31 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 must be something about permissions else cuz its weird that a game doesnt let u run from rdc are u running it as an admin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 hmm direct x is installed but this is what my data center told me Launching it brings up Call of Duty which loads for about 2 seconds, then gives me a DirectX error. Since it's Windows Server 2003, a lot of graphic acceleration features, including DirectX, are disabled for server rather than workstation/gaming use (client-side gaming that is).

ECF Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I would try re-installing Direct X. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en There may be some files missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 i got windows 2003 server too, and np running in rdc so reinstalling DX from a trusty source and not some unknown website downloads should make it. Edit make sure u got the latest version, I used to have an older DX and when installed CoDWaW I had an error message about DX dll's missing. Installed the latest version and was gd to go.

potato Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 It says I already have it no need to install for directx anyway I can uninstall it and reinstall it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I may be wrong but I assume you can force the install even if it prompts you its unnecessary to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
