Running custom maps without using a mod?

[Shadowhaxor]

So basically I'm trying to find out if it's at all possible to run a custom CoD4 map, without using either Modwarfare or Awe. I'm doing this as I want people to retain their weapon layout (I've never been able to make Awe use use the earn weapon/perks or made it all you to setup new weapon layouts). I also seem to have an issue with Awe on this map as it's not ready the models correctly for some reason, where modwarfare does, but you only get the default weapons in modwarfare...... Unless its possible to unlock all the weapons in modwarfare and I'm unaware of this.


.... I'm lost :confused:

Maps have to be AWE 4 compatible, the guys at raiders can tell you if they are.

All custom maps require a mod.

Here is how to run custom maps with ranking, without a mod:

1. In your mod folder create a folder like modwarfare.
If you have files in your modwarfare folder delete them.

2. Move your server.cfg from main to mod\modwarefare.

3. Launch your server with something like this:
iw3mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game mods/ModWarfare +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

Done!

I looked for a long time without finding this. I will post it all over so everyone knows. I guess you could do this since COD4 v1.5 and beyond, but I never found anything.

If you name the mod directory cupcakes (mod\cupcakes), and change the launch line then it should still work, but your rank would only work on your server.

I kept ours as modwarfare to preserve rank on other servers.

EnjoY!
