2. Dedicated server running on Windows(R) 2003

Creating a Call Of Duty(R) 2 dedicated server requires the presence of a profile.
To manually create one, do the following:

Add "+set dedicated [1 = LAN, 2 = Internet]" to the shortcut for Multiplayer

Add the following folders:
[Call of Duty 2]\main\players
[Call of Duty 2]\main\players\[profile name] (Ex. [Call of Duty 2]\main\players\MyProfile)

Create a file named "active.txt" in "[Call of Duty 2]\main\players" with the profile
name in the first line.

Create a blank file named "config_mp.cfg" in [Call of Duty 2]\main\players\[profile name]

If done correctly, the user will get a message that the configuration has changed since the last
time Call of Duty 2 was last run. The user will be presented two options, YES and NO. Select YES to
have the correct config file automatically created for you. Once that has completed, you will be at
the dedicated server console.
