Modern Warfare 3

[zelatech]

Coming out in next week, i open this topic to work together to release a working config for day 1.

 

[peace]

Its sad that dedicated servers are unranked.

[strikeR-]

It will be possible to have dedicated servers?

[zelatech]

yes it will be possible, but they will be unranked. Ranking is only matchmaking.

 

Btw I hope people will still buy dedicated server as for mw2.

[strikeR-]

Where I can found the files or it will be with the game ?

[ECF]

It will be with the game most likely. You will need to install the game and upload the files to your server.

[Flightwatch]

Normally they will be available on the disc and Steam.

[CobbyJUK]

im hoping it will be via steam will make it much easier for updates and so on

[CobbyJUK]

hopefully they will support linux server files as well.

[zelatech]

does anybody know if steam downloaded games can be used for dedicated server?

 

This would be quite a good news.

[Flightwatch]

The files will be standalone and normally be available on Steam.

But that's not yet officially confirmed.

[peace]

Depends on game. As for cod series, dedicated servers need game install files.

[Stryker]

Unranked servers have a huge competitive circuit customer base, although ranked will be locked to IW, there is still a great deal of opportunity in offering performance packages with your unranked servers

[CobbyJUK]

just to let you guys know im going to be working on a config for v2 as soon as mw3 is released. i will post the config on the forums, if they do linux i will post them as well, does anyone know where they will post the server info for hldsupdater and so on?

[zelatech]

I've uploaded all the files on the server but i'm getting error:

 

version 1.2.358

 

 

Error during initialization:

Couldn't load fileSysCheck.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty?: Modern Warfare? 3 is run from the correct folder.

 

 

 

edit:

notice that if you download it via steam you will only get iw5mp.exe and iw5sp.exe. With Dvd retail edition you will also get iw5mp_server.exe that should be the executable for dedicated servers.

[CobbyJUK]

which command line are you using? it might be because its not out yet on steam? and needs to connect to it.

[CobbyJUK]

also we dont know if it has independent server files from the hldsupdatetool.

[zelatech]

actually on my pc(win seven 64bit) where i've installed from retail dvd i can start the server with iw5mp_server.exe, over the server i've downloaded the game from steam and it's giving me problem beacause file iw5mp_server.exe was not present in the download folder and i've pushed it from my pc. Btw i will wait midnight and see if valve unlock the files.

[CprlRst]

check steam tools there is an option for dedicated server download which includes iw5mp_server.exe i have yet to get it to run manually i'm thinking that the game may need to be live

[CobbyJUK]

it wont work from i understand it wont be realesed till 7:00 AM GMT

[CprlRst]

yeah thats what i thought im getting following error at

 

net_masterServerPort is write protected

[zelatech]

ok i've found in tools the dedicated server option, thanks!

 

I will now start making a tcadmin 2 config based on modern warfare 2 config, let's see what come out!

[CprlRst]

i'm running v1 tca so anyone good at that would be good

[ECF]

i'm running v1 tca so anyone good at that would be good

 

 

There is already a thread in the V1 forums for MW3. You should post there.

 

It seems like the ability to have dedicated servers availible may provide the smaller GSPs to gain a bit in the market.

 

I hope everyone does well with the new release

[CprlRst]

i'm posting there too just thought i'd provide input on both threads
