Multiple CoD4X servers tutorial

This file shows how to create multiple CoD4X servers using fs_homepath, fs_basegame dvars and save few gigabytes of disk space.

Example shows how to create 2 servers on 192.168.1.30:28960 (modded) and 192.168.1.30:28961 (unmodded) addresses.

Table of contents

  1. Requirements
  2. Setting up base game server
  3. Setting up first server
  4. Setting up second server
  5. Launching servers

Requirements

  1. CoD4X 1.8 server binary, build >= 1061
  2. 10+ Gb of Disk space.

Assume all servers will be located inside 'CoD4X' directory.

Setting up base game server

Let's create directory CoD4X\BaseGame.

Base game server must have the following list of files:

  1. main/*.iwd
  2. zone/lang/code_post_gfx_mp.ff
  3. zone/lang/common_mp.ff
  4. zone/lang/localized_code_post_gfx_mp.ff
  5. zone/lang/localized_common_mp.ff
  6. zone/lang>/ui_mp.ff
  7. (optional?) main/localized_"lang"_iw*.iwd
  8. cod4x18_dedrun self updateable binary

When you in first time launch 'cod4x18_dedrun' binary, the server will download self update and required libraries.

Setting up first server

Create directories CoD4X\Server1, CoD4X\Server1\main and CoD4X\Server1\mods\test.

(Windows) Inside of CoD4X directory create file named start_server1.bat. Put next lines inside:

start BaseGame/cod4x18_dedrun.exe +set logfile 2 +set fs_basepath "BaseGame" +set fs_homepath "Server1" +set net_ip 192.168.1.30 +set net_port 28960 +set sv_hostname "Test server 1" +set fs_game "mods\test" +map mp_backlot

(Linux)

TODO. Almost the same except 'start' command and .bat script extension.

Setting up second server

Create directories CoD4X\Server2, CoD4X\Server2\main.

(Windows) Inside of CoD4X directory create file named start_server2.bat. Put next lines inside:

start BaseGame/cod4x18_dedrun.exe +set logfile 2 +set fs_basepath "BaseGame" +set fs_homepath "Server2" +set net_ip 192.168.1.30 +set net_port 28961 +set sv_hostname "Test server 2" +map mp_backlot

(Linux)

TODO. Almost the same except 'start' command and .bat script extension.

Launching servers

That's it. Now you can launch your servers using scripts inside CoD4X. You can always check your servers' visibility on http://cod4master.cod4x.ovh.
