Call of Duty WAW How To Run As Service

[Jake37]

In CoD WAW, to run it as a service using FireDaemon. You need to set all your Parameters and use this command line in there, dont use the arrows.

Notice: I am running this on a dedicate Windows 2003 server in my house. So make sure if it is Vista or other OS the paths i descrive below are correct.

< +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game mods/mp_Jmod +set fs_localAppData +set net_ip xx.xxx.xxx.xx +set net_port 28960 +set sv_maxclients 10 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate >

You can put your server.cfg in the MAIN folder...

Your commad line Parameters may differ a little form mine, the fs_mods/yourmodfoldername (only use this if you run mods) and fs_localAppData must be there, like i said fs_localAppData must be in there no matter what. Make sure your Mods and custom user maps are in the proper place. They do not go in the game folders under program files, they must be located in the folder path i show below...

MODS>>> C:\Documents and Settings\your Windows account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\mods\YOUR MOD FOLDER HERE

Usermaps>>> C:\Documents and Settings\your Windows account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\YOUR CUSTOM USER MAPS FOLDERS HERE

IF you donot run custom mods or maps dont worry about the folders above, for standard game and standard maps.

Also go to settings and Put your Windows user Name and Password in the "Logon Account" area. If not the service will not run, but show that it is, even though it isn't.




I sure hope this helps everyone understand how to run this now...you may need to refine and look up more info on the net...but this does work for me with custom mods and usermap.

Thank you: Jake

Wonderfull, but how do you this when u don't have the game installed and only have the DS files on a remote win2k3 server?

Since you installed CoD5 on your computer, the game will install several files in your local/AppData directory.

[Jake37]

Blade, I am not sure what you are asking here, but i will give it a try!!!
If you have a dedicated Win2k3 server that you have Remote Desktop access to, you just add the path yourself manually and upload any files you need from your PC.

Below is the standard path, but depending on the type of dedicated server setup, it may look diffferent. Just make sure that the game path follows after you user account name on that server OS. Your account name may not be Blade it may be a numbers or numbers and letters. Your actual game can be on any drive letter of course. If you cannot get the correct path then contact the server company and they will be glad to help you out with the correct path.

I know they made some changes since Cod 4 so it is not as easy as it used to be. But i do believe that if you do not run mods or custom maps you may not have to worry about this below on a DEDICATED Server.

MODS>>> C:\Documents and Settings\your Windows account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\mods\YOUR MOD FOLDER HERE

Usermaps>>> C:\Documents and Settings\your Windows account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\YOUR CUSTOM USER MAPS FOLDERS HERE

Here is a link to a video I made showing complete setup using FireDaemon.

Well,

I have RDP to the remote win2k3 server, and have the DS files of cod5 waw.
But i haven't installed it on the server so there is no local/application data.

I've put the command line as you stated and started it via FD but no joy sofar.
So basically when i start cod5 via FD it don't run, when i start it with the short cut the server is running smoothly.

Blade,
This forum would not let me post the whole post. So you have to view my post on my website at this link below...

Still no joy.

Did everything you said jake but the point is, cod5waw is not installed on the win2k3 server. So the entry local/appdata is not valid.



What i did was:
I downloaded the ds files for cod5waw to the win2k3 server (remote location)
Made a shortcut of the cod5mp.exe to the desktop with the command line:

+set fs_localAppData +set net_ip xx.xxx.xx.xxx +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate (port is auto 28960)

(this is the same setup of all my cod4 servers, without the +set fs_localAppData)

I've put the game into FD exactly the same as you described with the parameters as above (no joy)

When started by shortcut the server is running fine and everybody can join the server.

Regards

Blade

Your Path is wrong, it should be this,
C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision

Look at what is missing in my line in Bold, There are 2 Application Data folders you need the hidden Application Data folder under Local Settings

Try the exact perimeters below once. Try a mod!!! I know this works with mod, let me investigate and get mine to run without a mod.

+set dedicated 2 +set fs_game mods/mp_Jmod +set fs_localAppData +set sv_maxclients 10 +set ui_maxclients 10 +exec server.cfg +set sv_punkbuster 1 +map_rotate

The game does not need an actual install for it to run a dedicated server.
Not sure were your located but if we could chat on Xfire or TeamSpeak that would be alot easier for me to help you fix the problem.

I will get back to you with a solution...

[Jake37]

OK, This works with no mods.

Command Parameters in FireDaemon...
+set dedicated 2 +set sv_maxclients 10 +set ui_maxclients 10 +exec server.cfg +set sv_punkbuster 1 +map_rotate

And this Comfig file located in the MAIN folder Do not worry about +set fs_localAppData in the command line this is only if you run mods,,,as i can see?

Can the pc version of call of duty: world at war play vs xbox 360 live users? If you have the pc version of call of duty: world at war can you play on xbox live vs xbox 360 console users? If so, are there any restrictions?

Unfortunately You cannot play against those who play the Xbox version, just like you cannot be matched against Pc users while playing the Xbox.

I know there are games that do have cross platform but, but you would have to check Microsofts web site for further details on that. I believe it would be Games for Windows or an XBOX live account or somthing.

I will check into this some more, if i find any info i will post it for you.
