Servers

[Koriebonx98]

for all those that was asking me to upload my files,

I have made a zip file on the archive.org so anyone can tweak and play around all they want

I've only got one steam account so I've not tested if works externally but for self use it should work

multiplayer bots don't work they are frozen until someone can make a work around

https://archive.org/details/iw-7-mod-setup

cong the maps you wish to use in the files, zombies i have map rotation on 2 maps atm

dlc can be found cabbini mod and works without iw7 mod

[hotdogwater69420]

does this version still have the too many variables error?

[Koriebonx98]

I didn’t come across that error myself, but again I’ve not updated iw7 so my version may be outdated.

Try tweak the files above to the ass basic as you can and see if you can get it working with your version. If you do post the mod version used and any lines you chnagwd

[Koriebonx98]

Can confirm it works fine on my end, latest mod and all.

please make sure if you host a zombie server when trying to join make sure you load up the zombie section of the game first before trying the connect command else it won’t work

levelling up on zombies works!! Bounties doesn’t seem to for some reason

[hotdogwater69420]

it works fine for me as well its just playing on the server for over 45 mins it tends to crash from my experience.

[Koriebonx98]

*bounties does work,

“Earn 50000 cash Attack of the thing”

playing via single player not via server

Was that a hosted server for just you or you and your friend? I’m in able to try 2 diffrent computers but dedicated server for zombies seems to work.

1st computer: I 5 3750k 16 gb ram 1660 gpu Ethernet only

Allowed me to host and connect to a server made on same computer. My other pc I5 9400 16gb ram 2060 Wi-Fi only was able connect to dedicated server on other pc, though I don’t have another steam account with game to try, it did what a dedicated server would do. Unsure how multiple connections would affected it hopefully it’s some minor tweaks

[hotdogwater69420]

it was a server for me and two other friends maybe thats causing issues

[DOOMSH0P]

Each time I start the server, right after the server starts it doesn't load the server fully because it "failed to find sound lengths file sounddata/cp/cp_zmb.json". Is there any manual fix for this? I've already reinstalled the game like three times and I don't have a single clue what the issue could be.

I did see this error in my powershell screen to, but it seemed to still work regardless of the error,

I think I closed it down and restated the server

[Koriebonx98]

Quite possibly, I was self hosting and connecting to my own server with no one else, so could be a network problem.

have you tried using ethernet over Wi-Fi instead?? Might work better.

if not and you have a crappy lil comp, host server on that hooked with ethernet cable and server should be more stable

Did u try connecting dispite the error? I bleive it’s a iw7 end problem. But when I play via server, sound works still displays this message

[Joelrau]

sounddata.zip the dedicated needs these sounddata files for some sounds like zombie music.

Yeah. Tells me the server isn't open/it's closed. I reinstalled again, gonna try the sounddata.zip fix.

[DOOMSH0P]

Drag and drop into main folder or something specific?

its not a connection/hardware issue the server crashing with an error saying theres too many variables

Fixed this error by using the sounddata.zip provided by Joelrau,

But now the server refuses to run(?). Seems like it gets stuck at loading "cp_zmb" no matter how long I leave it running, never seems to get past. Running on a freshly reinstalled version of IW from Steam w/ no DLCs as well.

I’m not too sure then, deffo try ethernet over Wi-Fi though from personal experience. If not it might be a iw7 bug

Try download the dlc it could help stop the problem maybe, any isssue Google iw7 dlc codcabbin mod site. And it’ll come up with the zombie dlc, <that’s where got mine from\ also works on steam even if not purchased> 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

What are you supposed to do after connecting to the ip is the game supposed to take you straight into their lobby or do you have to type something else out before joining the lobby

Not sure about lobbies, but you set up a server use the above files. When say zombie server is running and have to be in the zombies menu before enter the connect command, this should allow multiplayer with friends

This is indeed very similar to hosting a server for IW6, S1, etc. It just needs a server browser, perhaps with Lua/LUI support. This can be possible, just like with IW6, S1, etc. As for the master server, we can either host our own or Quak could consider merging with AlterWare and using their master server, etc.

[Ston3Cold]

It's a pity that this client is in limbo / being ignored. I'm know where not entitled to any updates, but the majority of the work has been done. If gsc support was added I believe we should be set to fill in the remaining gaps.

Legit if you go through the files I provided you may see some references to s1x mod as I did copy paste and change different settings such as map names but yeah it’s legit exactly he same thing as the other mods

That would be amazing if that could happen, then we can make this client alive for people who like this version of cod. Out of curiosity why not add Iw7x to plutonium? This would make it easier to play with set friends and have a forms system too?

Just would be good to have a the same security measures in place, and an easier way of connecting to games
