Dedicated server wont start correctly

[Steel]

Hi, i had a server running fine with a just basic config set up.
Then i tried one of the config maker tools, and just overwrited my old config. Same startup line (windows 2000 btw), but this time it didnt start. So i changed back to a basic config again, same as i had before. Now that wouldnt make it to start either.

Cut from console:

Thanks in advance

I have a couple of things for you to try:

1) Check your server.cfg name you may have uploaded server.cfg.cfg instead of server.cfg. If you have access to the root directory( you can see the desktop of server) look into the main folder and check the properties of your server.cfg. It may have something like this > "server.cfg" when it only needs this> "server" (it may be hiding the file extensions.

2) Add your server.cfg to your autoexec_mp.cfg.
>exec server.cfg in the auto.cfg< this will exec your server.cfg automatically. (if its not there -make one)

It does show it execising the dedicated.cfg but late in the line up. How do you have your start up line configured? And, is it running as a service or console. Step#2 may correct that.

It shows that it could not exec the autoexec_mp.cfg (probably not there).

Thanks for the reply, but it didnt help im afraid.
I do have the right filename and ending, and i tried to put it into autoexec_mp.cfg, but the same thing happened then.Only now it tried to start it twice. In the beginning, and the end. With same result, nothing happened.

I do have the maching here with me btw. Can it have anything to say that i got 2 network cards in my computer. Maybe it cant decide which to use, even though my other card is disabled atm. Dunno, just thinking loud here.....

Seems it wont kick the server in gear. On my sof2 server, a certain command line with map is needed in the end of the config to kick it in gear, but i cant use the same line here in CoD, so i dont know if that can be the case. And since i used a config maker, i guess thats not needed.

My startup line is:

"D:\Spill\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec dedicated.cfg


Thanks in advance again :)

(btw, rudeDog, u aint the rudedog from sof2 are u? :)

add this line after your rotation.

//Start the game map
map mp_brecourt

I don't think it's finding a map to load. Also if your using a shortcut to launch your server, you may need to add this > +map_rotate.

[Steel]

Ur my man Tighten :)

that map mp_brecourt line did it!

So i almost knew what was wrong then, just didnt know how to put it :)

Thanks again :)

[Tighten]

Glad I could help.
