1 Call of Duty 4 Guide content owned and written by Freenerd.net(this website is now down) Webpage by QueNNch. Dedicated Linux Server Setup Guide This guide is provided for informational purposes only While I believe this guide to be 90% complete, it still needs some fine tuning. I believe the mp-server.cfg can be improved from it's current state and will update it again when I feel my server config is ideal Contents General Info User and Directory Setup Install Dependencies Get the files Test Launch the Server Setup Server Configuration Firewalls and Ports Launch Server General Info I created this guide using Centos 6 64 bit (Fedora,Centos,RedHat Should all work, other distos with minor changes in dependency install should also work) Unless you really understand SELinux is should be disabled to prevent issues with the game server and Punkbuster In this guide replace <newuser> with the user name you want to run cod4 as Create your own free website today User and Directory Setup You don't want to run the server as root, so let's create a new user useradd -d /home/<newuser> -s /bin/bash <newuser> Set a new password for your user passwd <newuser> log out as root and login as your new user create a new directory for your game server /home/<newuser>/cod4

2 Just type in 'su -' and your root password to elevate to root for installs etc. The above commands create a new user with a home directory of /home/<newuser>. Running the game as a non privileged user from the users home directory will help keep your server secure. Install Dependencies yum -y install glibc.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib.i686 screen.x86_64 Get the files Linux Server Files Get the COD4 linux server files from the link below COD4 Game files These files should already be on your computer. You'll want to copy over everything in the "Call of Duty 4" directory to your /home/<newuser>/cod4 directory Make sure your new user owns the cod4-linux-server directory and recursively all sub folders and files. chown <newuser>:<newuser> /home/<newuser>/ -R You can use 7zip to compress the game directory and then decompress after copy if you like The server file cod4_lnxded must be in the same directory as the localization.txt file PunkBuster You need to download the 32 bit punkbuster files from evenbalance.com. I could not get the 64bit ones to work on Centos6. View the UELA agreement./pbsetup.run -e If you agree to Y. Make sure you get confirmation that the game was added and not an error here../pbsetup.run -ag cod4 -ap /home/<newuser>/cod4/ Update the punkbuster files./pbsetup.run -u Test Launch the Server If you have errors with /lib/ld-linux or with libgcc libraries see the comments at the start of this guide and make sure you ran the command to install dependencies run the command./cod4_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 You should see the server start up. You can quite the server now, we just want to know that it loads at this point. Confirm that you see punkbuster load up Quit the server quit Setup Server Configuration

5 Firewalls and Ports Allow the following ports in iptables UDP UDP UDP (or whatever port your server is on if you changed from the default 28960) To allow these ports in add the following lines to your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file You must add them before the 'reject all' rule -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport j ACCEPT You will need to forward the ports through your firewall to your linux server if your server does not have a publicly routable IP address. The rule should flow like this from any source IP with source port of to your gameserver IP with a desination port of Make the rule for each port number, your firewalls manual should offer insight on how to do this Launch Server./cod4_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec mp-server.cfg This should bring your server up If you can't see or connect to your server there is an issue with your iptables or forwarding the ports into your server. If correctly configured your server will show and you can connect to it.
