How to Edit "config_mp"

[DJX]

I was looking around in the forums and some people were talking about editing the "config_mp" file. I would like to know how to do that, because I hate having to copy and past all of my commands into the console.

All right, I know how to edit it, but I don't know how to create a .cfg file. There is also two “.cfg” files for me, but when I open them in "Notepad" they say not to edit

config.cfg is for single player

config_mp.cfg is for multiplayer.

The "Do not edit" is a disclaimer for them in reference to providing support. You can still do it :wink:

If you're having problems with formatting, open the file in WordPad, it formats it properly to make it easier to follow.

I got that.....but I went to a COD server builder (Save our Souls) and it says that I need to create a new ".cfg" file, so i need to KNOW HOW TO MAKE A ".CFG" FILE. I went into the config_mp file and I don't really think it would be a good idea to edit it, becuase it has some game settings in it.

You're talking about a config builder, those are for game servers. I'm not familiar with the one you're talking about but I would assume it's no different then the others out there, select what you want, click on a create button.

Are you trying to make a config for a game server?

Yes, I am trying to cofigure a game server. I found a serer configuration at http://sos.noginn.com/. After I enter all the info, it tells me the instrutions on how to put the coded information into a server. It says to make a ".cfg" file.

Right click on your desktop and select NEW >> Text Document

Name the text file something like "myserver.cfg" - make sure .txt is not at the end; it should only be myserver.cfg.

Open myserver.cfg in Notepad (or WordPad), paste the server settings from the SOS configurator into it. There ya go, you have a server config file.

You can then start your server and type /exec myserver.cfg or add +exec myserver.cfg to your CoDMP.exe command line.

I have done what you said and it worked, the only thing is that I have to start my server first, and then type "exec myserver.cfg" into the console. I can't seem to get it to work with the shortcut on my desktop by typing "+exec myserver.cfg" in the target area, after all the other stuff. It allows me to apply, but it doesn't do any thing. I have tried to put that same thing into the acual "CODMP" but there was no place for me to type it.

This is what your desktop shortcut should look like:

"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec myserver.cfg +map_rotate

Make sure your file does actually have the .cfg extension on the end.

Control Panels > Folder Options > View > Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
