for both a dedicated server and a home pc server, you will need it:
<A HREF="http://guides.tntblowout.com/cod4/cod4_cfgs.zip">cod4_configs</A>
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium">Make sure your game install is fully patched and operational, including Punkbuster.<BR>
- Open C:/Program Files/<B>Activision</B> on your pc, and copy/paste the Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare folder to C:\ on your hard drive. To
simplify things, rename the copy to <B>cod4</B>.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium">We now need to make sure your using a clean install of the server files, so we will clean everything up next.<BR>
- Open the new cod4 folder and delete anything you don't see here:<BR>

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium">- Open the &quot;<B>main</B>&quot; folder and delete both the &quot;<B>video</B>&quot; and the &quot;<B>save</B>&quot; folder.<BR>

<ALIGN=LEFT><IMG SRC="http://guides.tntblowout.com/cod4/pics/pic2.jpg" NAME="pic2" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=685 HEIGHT=501 BORDER=0><BR CLEAR=LEFT><BR>
- Open the C:\cod4\<B>pb</B> folder and delete everything.<BR>
- Upload the cod4 folder and all of its contents to <B>C:\</B> on your box.<BR>
It is critical that the naming and file structure remain intact, do not change anything.<BR>
This will take quite a few hours, so time it so it does not interfere with your normal pc usage.

<FONT COLOR="#0000ff"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt"><B>Step 2 - Install The Punkbuster Files</B></FONT></FONT></H2>
<P ALIGN=LEFT>The next thing to do is get the Punkbuster server files.<BR>
- Login to your box and create a folder on the desktop called &quot;pbsetup&quot;.<BR>
- Download pbsetup.exe from Evenbalance to your new pbsetup folder from this link: <A HREF="http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php">PBsetup</A><BR>
- Run pbsetup.exe and click &quot;Add a Game&quot;. Choose Call of Duty 4. Then browse to the CoD4 folder you uploaded so that pbsetup knows where your CoD4 server is located.<BR>
- Once you have added your CoD4 server, select/highlight the Call of Duty 4 in the list and click &quot;Check For Updates&quot;. This will download a
number of files to your CoD4/<B>pb</B> server directory.

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium">You do not have to do anything else at this time, but you will have to add cfg's and cheat detection checks later.

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">- Before you do anything else, create a copy of the cod4 folder using copy/paste. You will need this if you plan to run multiple servers or if something goes
fubar on your server you will have a fresh copy of the files. Just copy/paste it anywhere convienient.

The command line is what starts your server, it sets the global variables for a server such as the IP and Port.<BR>
There are quite a few parameters you can use but I prefer to use the basics, the rest can be used in the server cfg to make changes much easier.<BR>
This is the startup command line for the above instructions: (Windows Only)<BR>
<B>&quot;C:\cod4\iw3mp.exe&quot; +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 123.456.789.012 +set net_port 28960 +set sv_maxclients 32 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate</B>

<FONT COLOR="#0000ff"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">Step 5 - The Server Configuration File</FONT></FONT></H2>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">You will find that only certain variables can be changed when your server is stock, or in RANKED mode.<BR>
Knowing this, and in combination with the startup command, all you need to run a stock RANKED server, is the server.cfg in the above download. Read the Readme-First.txt, it explains the files.<BR>
Edit it to your needs, don't forget to set your rcon password and put the file in the &quot;C:\cod4\<B>main</B>&quot; folder of your server installation. The folder named <B>main</B>.

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Double click the shortcut to start the server.<BR>
If you get a DirectX error, you will need to install the DX9 and DX10 files in the above download. Unzip them and put them in your dedicated server's System32 folder. (C:/Windows/System32)<BR>
Your server should now start if you didnt make any typo's or configuration errors. Wait for 10-15 minutes and
go see if you can find it in the server browser. You may need to refresh a few times.<BR>
If you can't find it, stop the server for approx. 30 minutes and try again.<BR>
You can also use your console to connect, but sometimes it won't work. Once you choose your profile in multiplayer, open your console using the tilde (~) key.<BR>
Type in <B>/connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</B> (your server ip and port) and hit enter.

However, what I can do is give you a quick overview of what you need to do, and point you in the right direction for the information you will need.
</P>
<P>What you will need to do is create a new IP, or called a static IP, in your router, and then point the proper game ports to that IP.
You might even try placing that IP in the DMZ zone of your router as well.<BR>
Players will connect to your server using your EXTERNAL IP, the one supplied to you by your internet service provider, while you will connect to the server using the Local option of the ingame
browser.<BR>To begin, go to this link <A HREF="http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm">HERE</A> and find your router or a close model.
On the next page look for Call of Duty 4, the procedure will be explained from there.

You can get these from anti-cheat groups on the internet and some are listed in this document.<BR>

Open <B>pbsv.cfg</B> with Notepad and scroll to the section called PB WEBTOOL SETTINGS.<BR>
Edit the <B>HttpAddr</B> with your server ip. Just the ip, no port number. It is set at 9025.<BR>
Edit the <B>HttpKey</B> line, this is your Webtool access password, use a good password, security is everything!!<BR>
Upload all the files from the zip to your servers '<B>pb</B>' folder.<BR>
Restart your server.

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">You should now be able to go to your Punkbuster Server Webtool. The url would be like this:<B>
http://xxx.xxx.xxx:9025</B><BR>
The x's are your server IP, and 9025 is the port number set in the pbsv.cfg. If you get a error, double check the url you typed in, double check the pbsv.cfg, and if
you still get an error contact your game server provider, perhaps they only allow certain ports for PB.<BR>
Remember that if you find an error and change something, you have to restart your server and check the url again.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Assuming you can see your Webtool, look at the bottom of the page for the version number of PB running on your server. It should look like this: v1.740 v2.200 | A1407.<BR>
The number on the left is the server version that is running, the number on the right is the required client version number.<BR>
Go to <A HREF="http://www.evenbalance.com/">Evenbalance</A> and look at the Call of Duty 4 listing to see if yours is current, if not, go back to your Webtool.<BR>
Put your password into the Webkey field and click the &quot;Command Screen&quot; button.<BR>
Next, click the &quot;pb_sv_update&quot; button. In about 10-15 minutes, come back to the webtool, login, and click the &quot;pb_sv_restart&quot; button.<BR>
Check your version number again in a few minutes, you should be good to go.<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#ff0000">Note</FONT>: <B>DO NOT</B> click the &quot;pb_sv_writecfg&quot; button, it will wipe out your pbsv.cfg file.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT COLOR="#0000ff"><FONT SIZE=3><B>Other Update Methods</B></FONT></FONT><BR>
The cfg's in the zip file above have the update command in them, under normal circumstances the server will update itself.<BR>
- You can use pbsetup if you installed it on your box, just remember to check the PB server version number afterwards, i have had it update to the old version before.<BR>
- You can login with rcon and execute the command <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/rcon pb_sv_update</FONT>. A few minutes later, you need to issue the command <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/rcon pb_sv_restart</FONT>.<BR>
- You can get the server update file from Evenbalance, upload it to your servers pb folder and restart the server, the file is located on this page
<A HREF="http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php">here</A>.<BR>
- Some server providers provide a PB Update link in their gamepanels.

<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">There are many features to PB, they are in the <B>pbsv.cfg</B> in the download. Again, not all functions work from game to game.<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#ff0000">Note:</FONT> The brackets &gt;<FONT COLOR="#ff0000">[]</FONT>&lt; are not used!
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv__BadName</FONT>
[grace_seconds] [name-or-text]<BR>
EXAMPLE - <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv_badname 0 www</FONT>.<BR>
Adds a bad name to the server to disallow, such as player names, or even a clan tag.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv_NameLock</FONT> [GUID or partial match] [Name to Lock]<BR>
EXAMPLE - <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv_NameLock 1234567890qwertyuiop &quot;theMechanic&quot;</FONT><BR>
This locks a GUID to a name, anyone that trys to use that name and does not match the GUID, will be kicked from the server.<BR>
NameLocks are not stored to disk automatically so Admins should add these to the pbsv.cfg file in order to have NameLocks extend to future server sessions.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv_powerguid</FONT> [GUID] [Powerpoints] [Name]<BR>
EXAMPLE - <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_sv_powerguid 1234567890qwertyuiop 99 theMechanic</FONT><BR>
PB Player Power works with PBrcon to give server admins the abiltiy to have &quot;deputy admins&quot; by assigning point levels and commands to each admin.<BR>
This way your server can be patroled by trusted players without giving out the actual rcon password to the server.<BR>
In my example above, i have 99 power points. In reality, you should only use 99 points as your top level because if someone with 100 points joins the server, it will disable everyones power but theirs.<BR>
The following is an example of 3 power levels and a list of <B>some</B> of the commands you can set:
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">The example levels are as follows:<BR>
Basic - 25 Points - Kick/Screenshots<BR>
Intermediate - 50 Points - Kick/Screenshots/Say/Ban/Badname<BR>
Advanced - 99 Points - All PB Commands
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">All commands are done thru console, and most commands are preceded with /pb_rcon.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">So, say you want to kick a player for using bad language.<BR>
Open console and type in pb_plist and hit enter.<BR>
This will list the players, and next to each one is their slot number, the player you want to kick is in slot #3.<BR>
Enter the command like this- /pb_rcon pb_sv_COMMANDHERE PLAYERSLOT# VARIABLE<BR>
So you would issue this command: <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/pb_rcon pb_sv_kick 3 10 language</FONT><BR>
This would kick player in slot #3 for 10 minutes for language.
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Each command has some different variables required, heres the shortlist explanation:
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Command: pb_plist - This will display the players, their slot number, and at least the last 8 digits of their guid.<BR>
Usage: <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">pb_plist</FONT>
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Command: pb_sv_badname [grace_seconds] [name-or-text] - This can be used for people with foul language in their names, or to permanently ban a clan by using their
tag.<BR>
Usage: <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/pb_rcon pb_sv_badname 0 name-or-text</FONT>
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Command: pb_sv_ban [name or slot #] [displayed_reason] [optional_private_reason] - Bans the player and displays the reason banned to to public.<BR>
Usage: <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/pb_rcon pb_sv_ban slot# reason</FONT>
</P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Command: pb_sv_getss [player_name_or_slot#] - This will get a screenshot of a player and put it in your CoD4/pb/scrnshot folder in YOUR game install.<BR>
Usage: <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">/pb_rcon pb_sv_getss slot#</FONT>
</P>
