Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This guide will cover the installation and operation of a\u00a0Call of Duty 4 (COD4)<\/strong>\u00a0server using screen. In this tutorial, we will install COD4 on Debian 7.<\/p>\n

Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
• Call of Duty 4<\/strong>\u00a0game client installer CD or image.<\/li>\n
• Debian server running a stable release (Wheezy, Jessie)<\/li>\n
• Aklwebhost VPS (1 CPU, 1GB Memory, 20GB Storage)<\/strong>\u00a0as a minimum. This configuration may not be suitable for large servers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Installation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  Login as root on the server that you will be using for this installation.<\/p>\n

  Run the command below to update your server’s list of available packages from the repositories and then upgrade any existing packages.<\/p>\n

  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Screen is often times included with the OS image by default, but you may be required to install it yourself.<\/p>\n
  apt-get install screen\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Because the Call of Duty 4 server only runs on i386 machines, you have to enable the “multilib” feature in Debian.<\/p>\n
  dpkg --add-architecture i386\r\napt-get update\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  For security purposes, we do not want to run the server using the root account. You should use a standard user account.<\/p>\n
  Create a directory for the game server.<\/p>\n
  cd ~\r\nmkdir cod4\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Download the Call of Duty 4 dedicated server.<\/p>\n
  cd cod4\r\nwget http:\/\/treefort.icculus.org\/cod\/cod4-linux-server-06282008.tar.bz2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  The download size is roughly 280 MB. When the download finishes, unpack the package.<\/p>\n
  tar -xvjf cod4-linux-server-06282008.tar.bz2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Install the COD4 game client onto your computer. Copy the\u00a0main<\/code>\u00a0and\u00a0zone<\/code>\u00a0folder of the game client onto the COD4 directory of your server using your favorite SCP client.<\/p>\n
  Once your upload completes, download the IceOps made executable. It contains various bugfixes and improvements.<\/p>\n
  wget https:\/\/iceops.in\/cod4x17a_dedrun\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Make the server “executable”.<\/p>\n
  chmod +x cod4x17a_dedrun\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Create a config file for the dedicated server.<\/p>\n
  nano general.cfg\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  If you want to run a simple “Team Deathmatch” or “Search & Destroy” server, then use this sample config.<\/p>\n

  Save your changes to the config file.<\/p>\n
  Next, create a start-up script that starts a dedicated server (with screen) and enables map rotation.<\/p>\n
  nano cod4.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Paste the following content into the script file.<\/p>\n
  #!\/bin\/bash\r\nscreen -dmS cod4 .\/cod4x17a_dedrun +set sv_authorizemode \"-1\" +exex general.cfg +map_rotate\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Save your changes to the script file, then make it “executable”.<\/p>\n
  chmod +x cod4.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  If you are using the iptables firewall, add the following rules. Update the ports if you have changed them in the server configuration file.<\/p>\n
  -A INPUT -p udp --dport 28960 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p udp --sport 28960 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 28960 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 28960 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p udp --dport 20800 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p udp --sport 20800 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 20800 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 20800 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p udp --dport 20810 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p udp --sport 20810 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 20810 -j ACCEPT\r\n-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 20810 -j ACCEPT\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Finally, start your server.<\/p>\n
