Win2K3 server

[PoD]

Soemthings are a fact in life and the only thing I have atm is W2K3 (dedicated) server available

Starting the server straight from the server, with the attached screen works like a treat.

However, when I try to start it remotely, using remote desktop, the remote desktop is not recognised as having a graphic adapter/video card and the server stops loading with the error "Cannot load OpenGL'

Any workarounds for this????

Yes, start your game server with this via a shortcut

"..\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 + exec test.cfg

This will start the game server in console mode, no cd check and just the console, no graphics.

Make sure your whatever_you_call+your_cfg_file.cfg file is setup accordingly. See other posts on how to create one if you don't have one already

do not call it server.cfg! that is already used in one of the pk3 files.

good luck

No dice, says "server not running" although under serverinfo it gives the right info as per the .cfg file

I used one of the well-known config's instead of "test.cfg"

What rudedog said is correct however I'm led to believe it also needs a +map_rotate command too.

"X:\..Games\Call Of Duty\CodMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec config.cfg +map_rotate

Try that.

I have some example configs here (http://www.delta-hf.co.uk/downloads/cod/cod_configs.zip) that you may want to try out. Help yourself.

Make sure you have some type of cfg file

try this
start your server like mentioned above.

in the console (on the dedicated server) type

map mp_railyard

then do a status or try joining the game. If you can. it's all set now you just have to build a cfg file along with a map cfg file

let us know if you get it working

I had the same issue with my Win2K3 server. Make sure you follow all the directions that they just described for you. You need to make a config file to put in the main and make sure that your shortcut is linked to that file otherwise you are going nowhere. There are plenty of sample config files on here to help you get going. Good Luck!

Got it working, thanks all for the support.

Adding the "+map_rotate" to the shortcut really started the server

Thanks all
