Sorry - Another Frustrated Clueless Newbie

[Major-Major]

I have been trying to get a dedicated server running for the past 10 days to no avail - so I thought I'd beeter seek some help. I have used the config bulder by noginn and changed the target path appropriately. When I try and run the multiplayer I get the following script on the console.

If I have done everything correctly so far, what do I have to input on the console to get up and running? Before I get accused of not researching enough, I have spent several days looking at various forums. Alternatively I could go back to playing Sensible Soccer on my antique Amiga.

Thanks for any suggestions.

What is your start up parameters? Is this "dedicated box" next to you our remotely located?

[ClickBouyow]

What's wrong with it? Can you not connect? That looks like what it should be.

[Major-Major]

When I double click the multiplayer shortcut, rather than entering the Multiplayer screen i.e. start a new server, join a game etc.. I go directly to the console with the above script showing. I can start a single player game then switch to multiplayer from there and create a new game but the server is not visible to other players.

Re. the first reply, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean regarding my 'start up parameters'.

[Tighten]

It appears your trying to run the MP shortcut as a dedicated server, then connect to it from the same PC.

If so, you may be going about it the wrong way.

Let me know how you have things set up.

[rudedog]

Right click your codMP shortcut , then click properties

The dedicated server should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 + exec server_test_ckr.cfg
The +set dedicated 2 + exec server_test_ckr.cfg tells this shortcut to run as a dedicated server and use the (in my case) server_test_ckr.cfg file

To play a game of MP, I launch my other shortcut that looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe"

You should notice that both exe's are the same, just setup differently.

Hope this help!

I'm still having no joy. Thanks for all your efforts though. I guess I'll have to get used to getting getting my ass whupped on a regular basis on the 'Big Boys' servers for the time being.

Oh and I'd better start unpacking the old Amiga from the attic.

A bit more information on the subject in the Call of Duty manual may have helped.

Cheers.
