Servers about iw7-mod HOT 26 CLOSED

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

from iw7-mod.

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

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

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

from iw7-mod.

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.

from iw7-mod.

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.

im made a post about it and Koriebonx answered it already lol

from iw7-mod.

does this version still have the too many variables error?

from iw7-mod.

I didn’t come across that error myself, but again I’ve not updated iw7 so my version may be outdated.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

from iw7-mod.

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

from iw7-mod.

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

*bounties does work,

“Earn 50000 cash

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

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

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

from iw7-mod.

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

I bleive it’s a iw7 end problem.
But when I play via server, sound works still displays this message

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

from iw7-mod.

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

Drag and drop into main folder or something specific?

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

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

im made a post about it and Koriebonx answered it already lol

just doing what I can, if I answered your post please close it so others can find open post easier.
I also set up a new one about servers so please read that one, hope it helps
