Linux games_mp.log file

[powermuffin]

Know that the games_mp.log place itself under a hidden directory ./callofduty.
Is there any way to force this file to appear in the directory u installed COD in as a non hidden file??

./cod_lnxded +set fs_basepath /gamedisk/games/cod_v1.2/ +set fs_homepath /gamedisk/games/cod_v1.2/ +set dedicated 2 +exec dedicated.cfg +map_rotate

This will place the games_mp.log file in: /gamedisk/games/cod_v1.2/main

Just replace "/gamedisk/games/cod_v1.2/" with whatever your CoD directory is...

Hmmm. Directory is /home/user/callofduty.
therefore:
screen -A -m -d -S CoD ./cod_lnxded +set fs_basepath home/user/callofduty/ +set fs_homepath home/user/callofduty/ +map_rotate

I get a error message when trying the script saying
./start: directory exists
if I change the path to whatever error message moves to Directory doesn't excist

Cannot use exec dedicated.cfg either. Command not found says console then. While I can see COD console is waiting for the input after the exec command.
All this is running on redhat 7.2
Could this be a problem??

you will need the full path (including leading slash), try:

screen -A -m -d -S CoD ./cod_lnxded +set fs_basepath /home/user/callofduty/ +set fs_homepath /home/user/callofduty/ +exec dedicated.cfg +map_rotate

I assume that you are executing this in the /home/user/callofduty/ directory...

You need to execute your server config file - mine is called "dedicated.cfg" - substitute whatever yours is. This file MUST be in the main directory, i.e. /home/user/callofduty/main/

The "+set dedicated 2" can be in your server config file but you must tell the server where to find this file!

Sorry. had the leading slash in script :oops:

Tried this, it wouldn't work. Thats why I asked RH 7.2 might be a problem. Running all these commands inside a start script.

BUT as I said, it just wont accept + exec dedicated.cfg (mine is named that as well) or +set dedicated 2.
Get error on them both. Set command not found & exec command not found. That toghether with directory exists when I set fs_homepath & fs_basepath
And I execute this from the directory where cod_lnxded is. Config is of course in main folder.

Wondering whether RH 7.2 supports this variables to the start string at all. Maybe a upgrade to newer distro would help. Anyone out there runnig on Redhat 7.2??

Does that same server command work outside of the script? What shell are you using? what does the script look like in full?

Here is the exact CoD v1.1 script I use with bash under RH 7.3 - I wouldn't think 7.2 would be that much different:

/usr/bin/screen -A -m -d -S cod ./cod_lnxded +set fs_basepath /home/gibke/COD +s
et fs_homepath /home/gibke/COD +set dedicated 2 +set ttycon 0 +exec dedicated.cf
g +map_rotate
