peace Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hello. We currently run our servers with localized_russian_iw00.iwd (and so on). But now it is some difficulties with free space on 1 machine. I wonder how to run server only with iw_00.iwd (and so on)? When I delete localized_russian_iw00.iwd and other iwd files server starts with errors. Does any of you have any ideas or working example? UPDATED. Idea is to reduce disk space that server uses. Now its about 5.5Gb for clean server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 edit remove the video files if not already, the rest is mandatory. the russian files are about the same as english ones just named differently I guess. I got localized french on my setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFA Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you have windows 2008 place all the large files in one folder (c:\cod4files). In the game server's folders delete the file and make symlinks to the files in c:\cod4files with mklink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Nice idea but im running WS 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFA Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 use junction.exe to create symlinks in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubka3 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Can I use this symlink for hl2 in SRCDS games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFA Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I wouldn't recommend it because the game get gets updated frequently. One game server will try to update the files and they will be in use by another game server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks. Ill test it and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 It creates folder as a link to another folder. It means that you cant actually have main directory on server where all configs and logs are placed because junction creates only folder-link.
