You will need the following:
- The Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package and the Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package.
- Visual Code, Notepad++ or Sublime Text (You may use whatever editor you choose but we don’t recommend Windows Notepad).
- Computer or VPS that’s online 24/7 with a decent connection that has average or above specs (We strongly advise a VPS).
- Some technical knowledge/background knowledge of computers.
- An original copy of the game. You can buy it on Steam @ https://store.steampowered.com/app/209160/Call_of_Duty_Ghosts/
Server setup:
- Install the IW6 client distributed by the launcher. Download it and place it into your server folder. Then run it so it automatically downloads the client files. Pro tip: use the terminal to run the launcher with the
--updatecommand line argument. - Download the server configurations from our Git, and place the files in the server folder.
- Carefully review and edit the configuration settings file to your liking. Give it a hostname, and gametype, and remove or add the maps you want, etc.
- Save the server.cfg file you just edited after you are done.
- Forward the TCP and UDP port (27016). If you changed the default port or are adding another server, you may need to open the following additional ports: 27017, 21018, etc. This step is not required on a dedicated server or VPS.
- Run the “start bat” file for the server you want and it shall open.
