The connect command is preceded by a +

[boost]

its say what?

[Number7]

its say what?

Oops - meant to say that it is NOT preceded with a +

CoDWaWbeta.exe connect xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxxx +rcon login yourpassword

[boost]

na that dont work eather gets the error "no or bad challange for address."

with or with out the + with cod4 it was +connect xxx.xxx.xxx:28960

[rudedog]

make sure you use the number keys across the top and not the keypad

[OEW Batman]

Nope, no go here, same error. I'm certain I'm using the command line as you have all described.

[{CAP}Maxell]

It's a backslash not a +

"/connect ip"

[boost]

when adding to target it use to be +connect ip, not working with the beta tho, im guessing its somming to do with the login 1st.

I know it kind of defeats the object of having a shortcut, but when I get the error I just type /reconnect in console. It is a pain, but at least you login to your rcon when doing it this way.

I hate logging into rcon in the console once you have joined your server, one little error and you broadcast your password to everyone.

the +connect xxx.xxx.xxx works with the full game :D

well, i tried it today, and it's not working. are you sure it is working? could you paste your target line here so i can see how you did it?

[Number7]

You could try using a batch file instead of game shortcut. It has worked fine for 5 years here,
new demo and all :) But again, i have never used a + for the connect command.


CoDWaWbeta.exe connect xx.xx.xx.xx +rcon login password +set logfile 2
exit

is that your actually batch file? i'm trying to make one but i keep getting errors. anyway you could actually copy/paste the text in the one your are using, that is if you already didn't.

this is what I have:
START C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe connect 72.232.194.235 +rcon login password xxx +set logfile 2
exit

The word password was meant to be your password, and cannot have the xxx afterwards

Try downloading this one and unzip it into your game folder. Then just make a shortcut to it on your desktop if you like.

okay, got the batch to start cod, but it will not connect to my server. i get the following error:

No or bad challenge for address


And on the gameserver's console, i can see where someone is trying to log in, but it says:

Not a lan address!
Got IV xxxxxxxx from client!
Decryption of auth ticket failed.Server:



my batch file looks like:

CoDWaWmp.exe connect 72.232.194.235 +rcon login mypass +set logfile 2
exit


any ideas?

That error occured on the demo at times. Just open the console and type: /reconnect
Cheap-ass game.

I'm thinking the old methos of +connect is working because there is another step added when connecting to server that we didn't have before - authentication? There is some type of authentication that takes place because there is enforcement of unique names.

But I do hope there is some kind of direct connect we can do . . .

[Benedict]

what about binding a button on your keyboard to /connect xx.xx.xx.xx then start the game hit the button?

[MagicMan]

Might be grasping at straws here but what about a .cfg file that holds the server IP address in it? Then call that file from the shortcut with +exec filename.cfg? Would that work? What would the connect command be in that .cfg file?

[Benedict]

hmm it could work, the file should then look like this
rcon login "rcon here"
password "passhere"
connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
atleast, thats what i figure it should look like

In the beta, there I had to use a fixed server exe for this to work correctly. Probably hosed in the retail also and overlooked in the 1.1 patch...sigh. The /reconnect works for me but is a PITA.

[boost]

this works fine for me

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +connect 000.000.000:28960 +password ourpass +rcon login ourpass

as long as you have just the 1 online profile it signs ya in anyways.

still not working.

are you sure this works? i only have 1 profile.

temporary solution (based on earlier posts)

So, here is how my shortcut looks right now:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +exec yourfilename.cfg +rcon login yourrconpassword +password yourprivateslotpassword +connect yourserverIPaddress

When I launch this, I am given one of several possible error massages and dropped at the generic MP screen. I simple type /reconnect and I go right into my server in a private slot with console rights.

/reconnect is a small price to pay but I don't see anything else working right now

[Mamba]

>I don't see anything else working right now

Agreed...better than nothing.

That's not really pertinent to this discussion. But possibly a PB issue...see here:
