I want to try a mod server

[MOMMA]

Ok we have another server now so I thought about trying a mod server such as Revolt or Heat of the Battle. But how do you get these on your server.. do you ahve to have the provider install it? Or can I just FTP some files. The instructions seem to be for an individual loading it, not for dedicated server installation that I can see. It's a linux server by the way.

Hmm... 35 people looked and no reply.. Ok. how bout this.. could someone direct me to a forum for either of the mods I mentioned and I will ask there?

sry momma - i cant really help you out here! i am running a REVOLT server but its with game2xs.com and i use the cfg files etc that they provide for use! 1st server ive ever had so still getting used to all the cvar commands and rcon commands. getting there though.
as far as game2xs goes i know that they have to add the files required for use onto their database so i can "add a module" to my cfg file (if u see what im getting at). so unless theres a way for you to ftp the mod files directly to your servers game cfg folder then i think that whoever is hosting ur server is going to have to add the required files before u can use them!

crikey that was a bit long winded wasnt it! :? :!:

/edit Revolt mod website (http://www.codmod.com) try asking here - they might be the best ones to ask seeing as its the actual revolt site!

/edit 2 with game2xs i can run a revolt server OR a CoD v1.4 server - i cannot add the mod to a normal server and have it work.
hope u can get this sorted out m8 - gotta admit im addicted to revolt - havent tried any other mods - yet! :wink:

all the best
Errol

Well i've run a few server over the past few years all rented so FTP access only.I can only tell you the basics tho.
You need to install the Mod Files and edit your Server.cfg file then restart the server.
The only Mod I've installed on a COD server so far is Total War Mod.

Make sure you back up the original .ini file in case the server Crashes.Then just uninstall the Mod and put the INI back the way it was.

We have installed many servers with Hob & MC

We sponsor the Offical Servers for both mods.
Drop me a line and I will help you out.

Not to bad once you do it one time. 8-)

It's a simple process, and the same for any true mod in any Q3 based game. Here's how you would do it for REVOLT:

1. Create a Revolt folder at the same level as your main folder
2. Upload the Revolt .pk3's to Revolt
3. Copy game.mp.i386.so (linux) or game.mp.x86.dll (windows) from main to Revolt
4. Start the server with +set fs_game Revolt in the command line

Doing all that though will require more than ftp access, so if that's all you have then it will be a job for your server provider.

Yeah it looks like it will take the provider getting involved, rats.

Your Provider does not offer you the ablity to do these things??

We do....or are we doing something wrong here....hmmm
