MW3 confgs

[gemcneill]

Just wanted to start a post dealing with MW3 configs. I am pretty sure they will be very similar to COD4 configs since the engine has not changed. However some tweaks and new features might have been added. If anyone has any inside info before the game comes out so we can all have working configs once the game has released please share it.

I have no info about mw3 but im just curious is there any official source where all server variables can be found for cod games? Maybe some forum post or wiki on callofduty.com or somewhere else? When mw3 will be released where do we suppose to search for cvars? Never seen any official info for cod4 or cod2 server variables.

[Flightwatch]

For COD4 we had also to search which cvars where in use.

Not much info is offically provided yet.

 

Only 3 questions are answered, so let's see what happens next week on release.

 

Q1. Are server files stand alone?

 

A. Yes

 

 

Q2.Does steam have to be running in order for dedicated server to run?

 

A. No

 

 

Q3.Can multiple servers run from 1 dedi box? or is it just one instance?

 

A. Yes. multiple per

[peace]

Its also official that servers are unranked (ranked only for matchmaking) and max 18 slots.

I like it i read it briefly.

[Gunslinger]

Not much known about it right now, I am assuming we will be able to download/install the files using hldsupdatetool.

[leetservers]

Files are live on Steam for the dedi!

4 port settings...

 

No progress on downloading dedicated server, steam servers are too busy.

[leetservers]

Don't forget to experiment with the videos, Last time we only needed one in there. Saves a gig..

[peace]

Have you got server files yet?

[CprlRst]

looks like two files control the servers server.cfg and a new dspl file i'm sure things will change when we have had time to test and tweak

[CprlRst]

ok so have the files and set it to run with cmd line but doesn't work maybe it needs game to be active or for you to have set the game anyone else having any joy

[leetservers]

make sure its seta not "set"

 

How you guys doing the ports?

[pandamonium]

so what the "-game" command parameter for the hldsupdatetool cause i don't see it in the list in cmd when i run it.

[CprlRst]

because it's not it's not part of hldsupdatetool

[peace]

Whats the difference between set and seta?

 

MW3 is not available through hldsupdatetool.

[CprlRst]

i have tried both but still no joy

[peace]

Guys, where did you get server files? Downloaded DS through Steam Tools or are you using game files?

 

No luck with DS download from Steam cause their servers are overloaded.

[CprlRst]

i'm currently downloading to server through steam

[leetservers]

I got files thru steam client interface under TOOLS.

Not in hldsupdate

[CprlRst]

[pesultra]

[pesultra]
