Making a Offline Server

Coal · Post by **Coal** » October 31st, 2007, 11:06 pm

A couple a months ago a few friends introduced me to CODJumper and took me to some jump servers. The inner platformer in me had a ball and last night I beat jm_castle_hard for the first time. I was on a server with a 24 hour time period fortunately because, it took a while. Anyways, I was wondering how do I set up my own offline server to play on when my internet is on the fritz (which is way to often lately). I really want to take the time to beat some other maps I haven't had a chance to get though, particularly Soviet Stronghold which always seems to get voted off before I can get very far. I would like to run the 999 grenade mod, and the save/load position mod. I'm tech savy but very inexperienced in running my own server. Help please.

You could simply go into your MP options and go to the maps section (I de-installed CoD2 so I can't really say what it's named, you should have no trouble finding it). Click on a map, and play it. You might get an error, I think it's called something in the line of mismatch. To fix this simply remove (No need to delete) some of your custom maps and keep one into your main folders to play.

In your Activision folder you have a folder called 'main'. That's where you can find all of your custom maps and any mods you got in there. As stated above, remove all custom maps and mods and keep Soviet Stronghold in there. Also place the 999 grenades mod in there as you wanted. Same goes for the CJ Mod, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a client mod, I think it's a Server Mod only, I might be wrong though, I never used it. I always used /noclip. Read below for info regarding that and more.

Start up CoD2 MP again. And if you want to play with cheats type the following (Note that I do not know the devmap command for Soviet Stronghold so I will simply put an example below):

/devmap mp_Dawnville

If you type /devmap mp_D you see all possibilities, like that it should say that Dawnville is a possibility. Try it out with Soviet Stronghold or wait till another members gets here (Soviet or someone else).

A few cheats you could use are /god (Invinsibility) or /noclip (You're like a ghost, flying trough everthing).

You could use /noclip if you really can't do a jump.

That's all I can think of, don't hesitate to ask more questions if neede

Hmmm. The only map that shows up is Mania when I try to host a server (which I also haven't beat so I don't mind) but when I start it it doesn't have save position. I have zzz_Save_position_mod_V1.0.iwd and CoDJumper_v1.86.iwd in my main folder along with the normal game files and the maps I haven't beaten that I've played on.

Try:

/g_gametype codjumper
/devmap mp_carentan

(or any other map you want to jump on).

If that doesn't work, then also try '/set scr_saveposition 1' (I think that may be an earlier version though, but worth a try).

Fortunatly for me I have 3 versions in my folder and that worked with 1.6. TY for all the help everyone.

A little off topic but I went a head and no clipped through Soviet_Stronghold to see how big it was. The map is MASSIVE! I had no idea I wasn't even a quarter of the way through it. I can't wait to try and beat it though It will probably take me 2 hours.

The quickest I've seen someone do it is around 30 minutes

Wow. I took me an hour ^^. It's an awesome map. I'm not going to say how many times I died but it was embarrassingly high. Anyone got suggestions for maps to DL and try to beat? Soviet_Stronghold and jm_castle_hard are probably the hardest ones I've gotten though.

If you want a challenge then try:

Bitch
son_of_bitch
jm_milestone
railyard_jump_ultra (250fps needed)
ultra_gap_training (;))

Didn't Ai beat Soviets Stronghold under 20 mins ? Or was it under 30 mins ?

I've beaten Milestone, but not the pro version. Do you actually have to make that massive gap instead of just walking the bridge in the pro version? If so, I might not be able to beat it anytime soon. I've also played Ultra Gap. It seems 237 is my limit for strafe jumping without a nade ^^' (I have gotten to the hall of fame though).

Bitch and Son of Bitch I'll check out. I don't know about railyard though. Does it require 250 because of massive jumps or is it a vertical one you can only make with 250?

My friend who I just got started said he saw someone go through the entire map and only make a single mistake a few days ago.

If that is your limit you will struggle on most of the _hard or _pro versions of any map, as these usually include jumps of up to 250 and sometimes a little more.

Well I got through castle_hard. Whats the largest jump on that one. I'm pretty sure their are a few above 237. Also, can people just strait strafe jump 250s or do they use nades?

EDIT: I just got Bitch and Son of Bitch put in my folder. Unfortunately, the save position mod doesn't seem to work with Bitch and I don't want to attempt Son of Bitch with out beating its mentor. The mod loads and even shows its starting text when I first get into the server but when I double shift to save it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Files I have:

zzz_Save_position_mod_V1.0.iwd
no_hurt_mod.iwd
CoDJumper_v1.6.iwd
CoDJumper_v1.8.iwd
CoDJumper_v1.86.iwd
JumpMOD.iwd

I'm not sure which one/ones to put in my folder to try to get it to work >>.
