Servers #2

[Koriebonx98]

Since my previous post about servers and how to make them, I was wondering what everyone’s experience has been like?
I only ask as I have one copy of iw7 and can host my own personal server but haven’t attempted to see if others are able to connect due to having 1 copy.

From my experience
Zombies = 100 working as it should inc map rotation and contracts seem to work.

multiplayer = semi functional, extra commands on start up is needed and needs more work done to it.
Map rotation works, bot function needs more work done to it.
To get bots working need to add extra commands on start up, have a team selected or have ffa game mode.

would be great once that’s fixed to have a server browser for lan, online ect. And then we can have dedicated servers up and available.

if anyone has any updated server files, fixes or work arounds feel free to share.

make sure to use latest update of iw7, and own the game in steam

and if anyone wants to host any dedicated servers
Where others can join, please add a comment with the ip, the type of mode, e.g zombies, the maps used and any scripts that you have added that others need to join. For security reasons If you have it password protected (recommended) please ensure a safe way for people to have the password to connect, e.g direct message or adding as steam friend and pm them that way.

for example (this what the comment should look like)

Server name: Koriebonx98 iw7 zombies
Ip: 321.243.0.0
Mode: Zombies,
Dlc: yes/no
Maps: “all” “single” “couple” (space land, radioactive, cabin ect)
Scripts: none required or “download link”
Password: “no” or “yes” (contact via steam/redit)
Steam name: Koriebonx98
Social: Reddit, discord ect

If anyone wants to make there own batch file to load up iw7 mod to that specific server on launch

cpMode is zombies

Add this to a clear .bat file

Iw7-mod.exe -cpMode +connect xxx.xxx.x.x

replace x’s with the ipv4 address, when you click on the bat file it’ll load up and connect to the server

Can I add you on discord to ask how you got this config setup?

Ok thank you, do you know what port the server runs on?

[Koriebonx98]

Umm any, I believe. I just copied the iw6/sx1 server config and changed the main stuff, so possibly whatever one they was using. But I’m sure it’s already in the config files I’ve uploaded

Try the link above, it has the files needed to host a server.
just downland them and place on root of game.
You’d have to edit it for your likings (I’ll update it with map names)

Zombies work as should, haven’t tried 2x copies yet but self hosting works for me

multiplayer: semi working with bots (needs scripting to work) but map rotation and other stuff should work

I'm able to setup the server and get LAN pcs to connect but cant figure out what port it is running on because the way I connect is without a port. I've tried changing the bat file ""start %GAME_EXE% -dedicated +cpMode +set onlinegame 1 +set net_port "%port%" +exec %ServerFilename% +map_rotate"" where I change port to the number I want to change. I also tried changing the config file and that wont set it to a port either. Any idea what the default port is or how I can get my body to connect of WAN?
Thank you

nevermind I figured it out, thank you so much for the help

It’s okay can you please explain what you did to get port working? It would be helpful to others hopefully the community can make servers and the dev make the master server if they can see we got zombie servers working!

hopefuly multiplayer with bits gets fixed too!

I didn't get port working. I just used radmin VPN and allowed the application through the radmin firewall and my friend could join with the radmin IP.

Okay thank you, hopefully the devs can tinker with this and make a way to add ports for servers and then I’d say we’re 80% done on the server’s part as of now
