Please help

I was browsing MOH Admin everywhere, but there is no 'Dedicated Server Setup Guide for Dumies' anywhere. I am novice there fore I find it difficult to setup one by myself.

My 3 PC specs are:

Intel Pentium IV, 2.4 Ghz
512 RAM
80 Gb HDD
GeForce 4, Ti 4600, 128 Mb
MS Windows XP (Home Edition)
MOH Patch 1.11
ADSL Internet Connection
NetGear Router
==========================
My Questions actually are:

How do you create .cfg files?
What do you need to include in these?
Where do you physically place them?
What ports are needed to be opened on firewalls in order to run MOH?

... you know... I'm in need to know as much as possible and easy described as well

1 How do you create .cfg files?
2 What do you need to include in these?
3 Where do you physically place them?
4 What ports are needed to be opened on firewalls in order to run MOH?

1 simply with notepad or wordpad...its just a txt file renamed to .cfg

2 heres a sample of mine:


// sv hostname is the name of the server that will show up on the browser or gamespy.
sv_hostname "V2 Rocket Respawn Server"
Admin "General Death"

// msg of the day... doesn't seem to work
g_motd "Welcome to the Atlas server"

// reconpass sets your RCON passoword to allow for remote admin
seta rconpassword "xxx"

// maximum number of players allowed
sv_maxclients "14"

// gamet type 1=FFA 2=Teammatch 3=roundbased 4=objective
g_gametype 4

// minimum ping? why bother?
sv_minping "0"

//sv pure pak checker, does not allow clients to use PAK files the server doesn't have
//0=off 1=on
sv_pure 1

// I haven't figured out what this does for me yet so commands are commented out
sv_floodProtect 1
//sv_flood_waitdelay 10
//sv_flood_persecond 4
//sv_flood_msg 4

//maxping keeps anyone with a higher ping than this value from connecting. Note that a player can get in if there ping is under 400 at the time, but if the ping goes higher during the game, the server will NOT boot them automatically. That is your job
sv_maxping "999"

// teamdamage friendly fire 0=off 1=on
g_teamdamage "1"

// allows Gamespy browser If you want your server to show up, use 1 otherwise 0
sv_gamespy "1"

// inactivespectate is seconds of inactivity before moved to spectator
g_inactiveSpectate "120"

// inactive kick is seconds that a client will be kicked for inactivity.
// But this doesn't seem to work in MOHAA
g_inactiveKick "300"

// max data transmit rate by clients on the server - depends on network
sv_maxrate 0

// Still looking at this to determine if required (I do not use it currently)
// sv_fps 20

// allow downloads 0=off 1=on
sv_allowDownload 0

// time limit for game 0=no limit For map rotation, minutes for each game
timelimit "0"

//set frag limit to end game. 0=none
fraglimit "0"

// sets the UDP port
net_port 12203

// map rotation for the server
// This is the listing of standard deathmatch maps.
sv_maplist "obj/obj_team2"

// starting map when launched
map obj/obj_team2

3 in the "main" folder

Something I realized was, the rcon.cfg file doesn't work, since the console comes up with the "Unknown command" error. There fore I wrote these lines this way instead:
seta rconAddress "xx.xx.xx.xx"
seta rconPassword "password"


Now, is that the right way? Since if I do not include the seta the console is protesting.

Usually the rcon.cfg file is run from the client command line to connect you to the server and allow you to rcon commands. You already set your rconpassword in the server.cfg file, now when you start the client you have the command line execute your rcon.cfg so that once you are in the game you can bring up the console and just type in your rcon commands (since you are already connected to the server console via the rconaddress and rconpassword).

the rcon.cfg should look like this:

rconaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rconpassword "Your Password"
