[cod] Linux COD4 Issues

Wed Feb 6 18:31:02 EST 2008

David the box has no internet accesible services running so SELinux is disabled in the SELinux cfg.

Dennis as far as I knew the master server IP base was hard coded, unless I set it in the dns cache on my networks firewall to 127** putting it in the server cfg does nothing.

The fact that running a LAN server on a windows box reports it as a LAN server when typeing a dedictaed query in the console and there is no report in the console of master server communication, but the linux dedicatd runs as an internet server even with +set dedicated 1 in the commandline points to a problem with the linux dedicated....

I would have tought it was just me but since someone else (TBO Server) has now reported the same thing this warrents someone looking into it...

The issue I had with this was that SELinux was setup and running on the server.  The command to run would be setenforce 0.  Please keep in mind that this might have issues with Bind (service named start/restart/…).  I would suggest that you do this command LAST if everything else fails.  

Thank You,

Hello all,

  I'm trying to administer some CoD4 servers for both a LAN party and a clan online.  I'm running into two major issues with the linux server.

  1.  I can't seem to get Punkbuster to install.  I issue the commands to install Punkbuster, and have read in some forums that the middle one (./pbsetup.run --add-game=cod4 --add-game-path=/home/tbo/Servers/cod4-linux-server) should output some text, but it never does, and then when I run the server, I get a nice Error: Unable to initialize punkbuster.  Punkbuster is disabled message, and have a server that isn't punkbuster enabled.

  2.  I can't get a LAN server to run.  When I run the command ./cod4_lnxded +set dedicated 1 +exec hm.cfg +g_gametype "dom" +map mp_crash and for good measure have in hm.cfg set dedicated "1", it still runs as an Internet server (I've had people connect to it when it's supposed to be LAN only).  This is critical for me because the LAN group has permission at their LAN party to allow the browsing of the internet, but not the hosting of game servers.

While booting, the words "dedicated is read only" flashes by, and then when I run 'dedicated' in the console, I get the following message:

dedicated"dedicated" is: "dedicated internet server^7" default: "dedicated internet server^7"  Domain is one of the following:   0: listen server   1: dedicated LAN server   2: dedicated internet server

And when I try to set the variable, this happens:

set dedicated 1dedicated is read only.

I hope someone has run into these issues before and has a solution.  Thanks, and frag on!Notice: This communication, including attachments, may contain information that is confidential.
