Call of Duty 5: Getting Server Running
What's Needed
In order to run a dedicated COD:WW server you will need:
*Files from the retail game *Patch 1.1
1. Files:
To lighten up the upload of the files to your server note that the SP .ff files arent required to run a MP server. The files required from the ZONE folder are:
FILENAME code_post_gfx_mp.ff common_ignore.ff common_mp.ff localized_code_post_gfx_mp.ff localized_common_mp.ff localized_mp_airfield.ff localized_mp_asylum.ff localized_mp_castle.ff localized_mp_courtyard.ff localized_mp_dome.ff localized_mp_downfall.ff localized_mp_hangar.ff localized_mp_makin.ff localized_mp_outskirts.ff localized_mp_roundhouse.ff localized_mp_seelow.ff localized_mp_shrine.ff localized_mp_suburban.ff mp_airfield.ff mp_airfield_load.ff mp_asylum.ff mp_asylum_load.ff mp_castle.ff mp_castle_load.ff mp_courtyard.ff mp_courtyard_load.ff mp_dome.ff mp_dome_load.ff mp_downfall.ff mp_downfall_load.ff mp_hangar.ff mp_hangar_load.ff mp_makin.ff mp_makin_load.ff mp_outskirts.ff mp_outskirts_load.ff mp_roundhouse.ff mp_roundhouse_load.ff mp_seelow.ff mp_seelow_load.ff mp_shrine.ff mp_shrine_load.ff mp_suburban.ff mp_suburban_load.ff ui_mp.ff
2. For the Patch 1.1:
The patch 1.1 MUST be installed on the Server as it fixes an issue in the EXE file to be able to run your Dedicated Windows Server

Port Forwarding
In order to run your own server and open it up to internet users, you need to do some port forwarding in your Router. The ports to forwards are as follow:
UDP 20800 UDP 20810 UDP 28960-28970
For a detailed How-to setup port forwarding on your router, see Portforward.com
Make sure your Windows Firewall has either added rules for those ports or/and CoDWaWmp.exe is unblocked from it!
Gametypes
Availiable gametypes are as follow:
- DM Free-for-All
- TDM Team Deathmatch
- KOTH HeadQuarters
- SD Search & Destroy
- SAB Sabotage
- DOM Domination
- WAR War

Server Config
This next section will give you a base server config, a more detailed Server Config can be found HERE
Now Create a file called server.cfg and place in /Main -- Server.cfg can contains (change passwords of course):
seta sv_punkbuster 1 wait pb_sv_enable // Server name set sv_hostname "MY CoDWW Server" // Server password set g_password "" // blank means NO password // Rconpassword set rcon_password "changeme" // Maximum Clients //set sv_privateclients "6" set sv_maxclients "32" // Max Ping set sv_maxping "225" // Rate set sv_maxRate "25000" // Map_rotation set g_gametype "tdm" set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_castle gametype tdm map mp_makin gametype tdm map mp_roundhouse gametype tdm map mp_asylum gametype tdm map mp_airfield gametype tdm map mp_seelow gametype tdm map mp_dome gametype tdm map mp_downfall gametype tdm map mp_suburban gametype tdm map mp_shrine gametype tdm map mp_outskirts gametype tdm map mp_hangar gametype tdm map mp_courtyard";
Starting Server
Windows ONLY and not for servers from Game Servers Providers!
- Right-click your Shorcut for CoDWaWmp.exe and add this at the end:
+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

"C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty- World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate
Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx by your Public IP adress. If unsure of your Public IP Address you can go HERE to check it out.
- Once the server starts you should get the console:
